Even if you aren't doing writes SQLite should be the default option as a file dependent format or even durable IPC. And it isn't going to fall away (i.e. BerkeleyDB, Tokyo Cabinet). I recently dug into WAL mode and it is pretty

It's first party, so you get a look under the covers at how things were supposed to work. But the later server emulators are undoubtedly better by any realistic consideration, 1990s C code is not something you'd want to expose to

The UO emulator scene got me into network programming. I've never seen an online game capture so many ancillary/emergent/accidental gameplay mechanics as well as this, somehow all the 3d MMOs seemed to downgrade a lot of the

Attention to detail is a lot more important. But the kernel is just a program.

Is the DRAM industry really capitalist? Focusing on just the Korean parties, it functions like a command economy. I would say the same about most high end semi-conductor manufacturing, TSMC, Intel, ASML are being commanded and driven by n

Some people are claiming it's the good old RAD750 variant. Is there anything that talks about the actual computer architecture? The linked article is desperately void of technical details.

For the average joe there it's just an option and personal taste, and it comes with its own tradeoffs and learning curve. Well integrated ZFS would probably be the main thing for average joe. For developers, it is interesting to think

I'm on a 100mbit fixed wireless connection after moving out of the city where I used to have a GPON connection. The only thing I really miss is the extremely low latency of GPON plus being in a datacenter city. Progress is good, and p

I remember rumors going around Phoenix of someone trying to demolish the David and Gladys Wright House in 2011. Someone got a great deal on it around that time, $1m. It sold with a 7-10x return a a few years later. Viewed in isolation it is

Sure, it is a "crash out" in the sense that you have an infinitesimal chance of changing things unless the founder is still involved because the situation didn't happen in a vacuum. And yep, you are narrowing your path signi

I like how caring about fiduciary responsibility is a mental health episode or personality disorder to enough people in the comments. Simply being employed gives you a vested interest in keeping an operation above board and healthy. If yo

Price competitive to AMD and intel? Sure. Abilities? There is no magic, the Tellium and Power11 are each as complicated as something like Epyc and the former has both a longer and taller compatibility totem pole than x86. Anyway this pos

With each passing CEO it seems to get more and more nebulous. But the mainframes are still technically interesting and they seem to be able to attract and retain quality CPU designers.

IBM actually owns x86 rights still. They last used it to do something similar called Lx86 which ran x86 VMs on POWER CPUs.

The "term positions" caveat seems like a major limitation for human oriented searches of logs or products or whatever. I don't see it mentioned in what's next, will you address it in some future release or is it out of

IIRC they are a generation behind on CPUs, so must need capital to refresh/add new and competitive hardware. The default state at the bigger CSPs is to have this stuff rolling in even before it is generally available to the public. Th

This is the kind of low quality information you see on fanboy forums. There is nothing special about Linux drivers and anyone can go look at them. A lot of hardware uses a HAL and there is a smaller OS adaption therefore most of the code

Did you read the same article as me? The word is singularly used in the context of how do you earn money as a project, i.e. sustain the effort. It's a bit of a leap to imply this is impure unless they made some contract stating the o

Timing. The 68k still had legs, i.e. the 68040 provided great drop in performance and had an enormous ecosystem and economies of scale. By the time the RISC wars were starting to get fever pitched, the POWER architecture and AIM alliance

This is both ambitious and seemingly not intractable which is a rare goldilocks combination. As some contrast, consider something like GNUStep. You are never going to get macOS out of GNUStep, no matter how hard you try, because it is too

Because this is Stockholm syndrome, better community options prevail, main is not all people deploy and is not the only repo default enabled. openstack, docker are legacy tech, never encountered anyone using LXD or microk8s thankfully I&#x

Read https://ubuntu.com/security/esm carefully. The chance of running everything out of 'main' is close to zero. I am shocked by how little people understand this.

Except their LTS is a lie or maybe plausible deniability for businesses that DGAF. They have no idea what they are doing with backports and lack thereof. And if you aren't paying you aren't even receiving many of the updates.

I always wonder why Ubuntu is even on the radar anymore. It is a pile of questionable decisions with a billionaire ego bus factor. If you like apt, just use Debian. sid is fine for desktops if you are moderately technical.

Intel has had a somewhat awkward relationship with FreeBSD forever. While they are forced to support it (for $reasons) they never have properly covered it. I would say as of FreeBSD 12-13 most major issues are addressed from 1gig up to cur

Yes, the web UI is not great but there is a nice iOS app called Reeder, and some desktop clients too. I'd love to use Thunderbird as the desktop client.
