+1 for rclone, it is fantastic and I am using it to sync both local filesystems to backblaze b2, as well as directly from a remote SFTP filesystem also to backblaze b2 or local. Have also used it to back up my Google Drive, it exports all o

It's also crazy to my mind. The reality is these various issues are all having potentially significant impacts on performance -- and it's not just the microcode related changes, but also the kernel changes, etc. It is kind of ridi

I can imagine you could work around that issue just by once redirecting onto your own site first. On the surface, sounds like a difficult problem to solve safely. On a related note, I often have the back button not work because I hit back a

The problem is that when you release pressure on anything but water, as the CO2 starts to come out of solution it bubbles up and tends to spill out of the bottle. I'm sure there is science on this but my naive guess is that this is par

I had various success with this repository, unfortunately the various XMLs for libvirt and the "sh" boot scripts all reference different paths and capitalizations of files (e.g. even for the firmware committed to the repository et

That technique is called "Anycast", it's mentioned at the very end of the linked article. The problem with Anycast is it works pretty good for UDP (such as DNS) but doing Anycast with your actual TCP connection (particularly

I’ve been using my thumb on MacBook trackpads without having to noticeably move my hand. In fact moving back to a desktop having to move my hand is annoying. And there on the 2012 era smaller trackpads. Probably easier on the new ones that

The official python recommendation is not to "default" the 'python' command as python3, and they should just explicitly be 'python' and 'python3' This is what every distro except arch does (for whatev

*While some countries have vastly cheaper data. Some do not and also if you go to lots of destinations the “starter park” / SIM card cost can outweigh the cost difference easily. Which is why it easily made sense to me. Also saves you

I use FlexiRoam which gives me ~$30/GB that works in almost any country - everyone I’ve travelled to so far. On the same recharge and SIM card. It also sticks onto your existing sim and lets you software switch between your existing si

I imagine most likely at this point things that are flat out lethal are less likely, but there will be a lot more things that while not lethal might be quite inconvenient - or even just a nuisance, without being truly obvious.
