I have heard some plane infotainment systems use a 1-way optical link to solve this problem to get the speed/altitude/etc to the displays. It just receives the data as a downlink (no 2-way communications) and being optical its ele

you can mark the recommendaitons as not interesting, likely to fix it up pretty quick.

A great software solution. I had a look and once Linux boots it actually uses devicemapper to map a dm device to the raw sectors containing the iso which it extracts (as it may be fragmented) to feed to dmsetup. Kinda crazy. There is also a

Theoretically this would be possible but probably wouldn't help much in practice. Writes on an SSD aren't mapped 1:1 from "logical" address to physical address - they constantly balance and move writes around the entire

This has amazed me too. Even the iOS app, until very recently, for years, had no "news feed" for all creators in one timeline like the website had. You had to click each creator individually. They finally fixed it but like..?

Unfortunately while you shouldn't try to sync with others publically is a good theory, in the current implementation just opening the share sheet to share via messages or some other app will trigger AirDrop discovery. So you'd nee

The way I read it their implementation was more of a proof of concept of a better privacy preserving system that works in the same way. Rather than a separate app.

This is called "Split Horizon DNS". The problem is, there is no standard way to communicate this information to a machine. e.g., afaik there is no DHCP extension to say "for .internal, please see this server, for the rest, se

What a stupid change. They claim support can help temporarily, but still. Let's assume for a moment they want to go ahead and disable this accidentally enabled feature, OK, but they should have changed it such that - On existing instal

The problem is nothing to do with btrfs itself, synology intentionally disabled its usage on specific models in a firmware update (supposedly because it wasn't supposed to be enabled in the first place - but had let or allowed people t

The downside of this approach bares talking about. If you compute the full desired state every few minutes it can be quite expensive depending on how/what/why you are doing it. And it can also be an O(n^2) problem that is fast eno

The way it works is that the location is encrypted with a key that is only on your device, same as iMessage. So they can't directly decrypt that info. It's possible in theory they could add hooks into the OS to then do that next t

I use this all the time not due to ISP limits but in Australia the 200-400ms latency limits you instead especially as you go over 50Mbit. Mirror command is also great :)

Which one are you using? I'd love this. It's usually precisely to reference it in a bug report, to a coworker, in a support case explaining software behaviour, etc.

A long time ago when I designed a zfs based backup + offsite-backup solution (having the luxury of 2 backup levels) I intentionally used ZFS replication between the data and backup but then used file-based replication between the backup and

It's easy not to realise data is stored inside of a particular program, rather than more easily backed up Documents folders etc. When I was very young (13-ish, year 2000) I lost primary school photos because I didn't realise that

You say that, but resetting all the sessions is very publicly visible and plenty of smaller companies would paper over such things. Honestly I don't really expect any less from Github or Microsoft scale but don't kid yourself into

See also “git prune” to remove references to branches and objects no longer on the remote server. Check the docs though I think in some cases I might delete local branches or objects so make a backup first.
