I like Miniflux becuase it is easy to run and keeps a centralized status if you have multiple devices. I guess if Thunderbird supported the Fever protocol you could use them together unless there is some other method I'm not aware of?

Seems tinged in political fog. For instance, if China wants tankers to have safe passage they can present diplomatic arrangements with the other players (US&Israel and/or Iran) indicating they are there for escort only. Belligere

Not congruent to what I wrote: Why would the batch size be 1? Must it be the US military? What anti-drone capabilities do Destroyers have or could be made to have? If the tankers are primarily for the benefit of Asia and not the US do you r

Undermaintained might be more suited since it does have life but doesn't appear commercially healthy nor apparently relevant to other communities.

Conceivably, the 50 tankers per day could move in batches with the protection of a Destroyer. It's hard to imagine a credible surface or subsea threat with current fleet presence so it's basically a question of missile defense.

It's ironic to see Oracle as a value play, but you couldn't bank on that indefinitely.

It's high enough that I would wonder if some systems software issues are mixed in, like rare races in malloc or page table management.

A partial but significant dump of 4.1 is easy to find. Probably leaked for/by Apple Network Server people.

Well, kernels grown some support for steering accept() to worker thread directly. For instance SO_REUSE_PORT (Linux)/SO_REUSE_PORT_LB (FreeBSD).

If you are ever bored, maxing out a T440p, T430, or T480 is a fun exercise and not very difficult nor expensive. CPU, RAM, SSD, coreboot, modern LCD panel, Liteon keyboard. Load with Linux, BSD, OpenCore.

Ubuntu is Debian with an additional layer of awkward decision making.

As long as you don't need to touch the drive layout. I think the NetBSD installer is quite a bit better otherwise.

The tire spring rate is not what is "felt" by the road every bump, there is forward motion and coilover suspensions in modern cars running low profile tires versus solid axles and leafs on the Wagoneer, but yes nearly every modern

You are incorrectly assuming the Esclade isn't on 32+" tires with 285+mm width and the Wagoneer isn't on pizza cutters. Tire size has increased greatly on SUV and light trucks, which exerts less ground pressure. It's no

Typical meme. Passenger vehicles of any type cause negligible road wear. The weight of a sedan (say, 4000lbs) versus a light truck (say, 6000lbs) is just not significant, further the ground pressure will be close due to tire sizing ( http

Generally people get more excited any time a major release of anything comes out. But FWIW HN has always had favorable front paging for anything related to FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

It would benefit from a batching mechanism.

People found this worked in the past and it gets copied around. There is no reason to disable some of this. Bridge will automatically disable LRO and find the common set of other offloads. TSO is not useful for a bridged guest.

15.0 was released a couple months ago, hence the title.

Depends what you are accounting and optimizing for. At the high end of computing this is generally true but occasionally vendors get pretty far in front of their skis to goose performance like current Nvidia hardware or the P4 of yore. Th

This seems like an evergreen content topic. It's obvious that IPv6 adoption is high enough and critical for some industries in particular (i.e. cellular providers) with lots of endpoints. Increasing endpoint adoption is good. But se

It allows you to put the deferred logic near the allocation/use site which I noticed was helpful in Go as it becomes muscle memory to do cleanup as you write some new allocation and it is hinted by autocomplete these days. But it adds

The 3174 support async hosts among other conversions so it would be interesting. I forget if this was one of the products that used the 801/AMERICA CPU, I don't think it's a COTS microprocessor.

I remember John Cohn, an IBM Computer Engineer, was on some TV show called The Colony and built one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkH6mFlfH3o and I seem to remember it getting much further than this clip.

Block mode terminals are somewhat similar to the forms based UIs we later got like HTML. The 3290 was like a 4 split tmux session, it is such a beautiful device ( https://ifdesign.com/en/winner-ranking/project/

It's a portfolio, the guy did things that shipped in millions of units. It was a good design, in critical environments small goose-neck lights are typically used, even if the buttons and indicators are backlit. I still prefer it to bac

In the US, the brand was not as prominent as elsewhere in the burgeoning PC industry but the AT&T 6300 series were OEM systems. Built like a brick shithouse and not too pricey for a reto PC.

I am curious about the inverse, using the dataset layer, to implement some higher level things like objects for an S3 compatible storage or pages directly for an RDBMS. I seem to remember hearing rumblings about that but it is hard to dred
