Meanwhile, American datacenters are still handing out IPv4 addresses like candy. I know a few people who got 5 "usable" addresses with each dedicated server from a provider that shall go unnamed. That actually eats up an entire &#

The weather might help, as well as the phase of the moon. But you could be a little more scientific and try different parameters once you went back to disk 1. Maybe also remove some of the more questionable drivers or memory-saving tweaks f

I remember those floppies... The 8th disk was kinda finicky on older hardware. I think that's where the installer actually tried to switch from DOS to Windows mode. If it failed for whatever reason, you had to start again from the 1st

Speaking of busking, how could you leave out YouTube? It might not be particularly useful for indie game devs, and you might not like it, but nobody can deny that YouTube is currently the most well-known place on the planet for people to si

If you're willing to be a little more flexible with the definition of a country, many U.S. states and Canadian provinces look fairly easy to cross in a straight line. They contain long, straight stretches of roads, and even their borde

Straight line in 3D would usually require digging underground. Maybe you could do it in an airplane. Compensate for the curvature of the Earth by varying your altitude. This will probably work up to a distance of a few hundred miles.

Foreground services require a persistent notification, which looks more like a nasty hack than a proper workaround.

Yes, this looks like DNT all over again. Just another header that quickly becomes meaningless, wasting terabytes of bandwidth all over the world for no good reason.

That happens with every genre. Genres are labels. You can attach them to works long after the fact, whether the original creator(s) intended or not. Jules Verne wrote steampunk a century before the term was even coined. Cervantes wrote a no

Linux VMs have the concept of "steal". It represents CPU cycles that were supposed to be available, but were taken away by the hypervisor for various reasons. Steal appears in CPU usage stats alongside other types of wasted cycles

We hear from time to time about how Mexican drug cartels are using drones and submarines to carry their product across the border, or co-opting local cell towers for their own communication needs. But the rest of the supply chain, and espec

Whatever devops is supposed to be, it shouldn't involve relying on a tool whose security characteristics the team does not fully understand. If requiring such knowledge results in widening a pre-existing rift, so be it.

Most consumers buy their PCs from big box vendors who can help with password recovery and whatnot. Microsoft might do it better, sure, but why would they want to pick up the cost of doing it themselves when they've been outsourcing it

I was actually talking about RHEL 7, which uses systemd. When you type "service foo restart", it redirects to "systemctl restart foo.service" and prints a message saying so. It's a nice way to nudge people to use th

If there's a systemd unit, the init script is redundant, confusing, and possibly dangerous. It should not exist in the first place, perhaps except as a thin wrapper around the corresponding systemd command.

A lot of debian packages supply both systemd unit files and init scripts. You can use either to step on the other's foot.

It's okay to ride a bicycle instead of a car, or vice versa. It's not okay to put bicycle tires on a car, or a car transmission on a bicycle. I have no complaints about distros that are either 100% systemd or 100% init scripts. Th

Many APIs use versioning to keep the current namespace clean while still supporting the old version. It goes like /v1/getPosts, /v2/post/get, etc. This might be argument in favor of preemptively adding another level

Most Linux distros don't come preinstalled with PHP, Ruby, or node, either. You have to install it using the package manager, and you can use the exact same package manager to pull down different versions from different repos. Honestly
