In Australia/Perth we have a "Daily Supply Charge". We also have one of the higest rates of residential rooftop solar here, you get relatively little payback for exporting in Perth (its hard to get more than about $20/mo

You can also inspect python frames, objects/variables etc directly from GDB: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/gdb_helpers.html

Plenty of manufacturing tolerances that could explain that, firstly look at overclocking in general - different examples of the exact same CPU will be highly varaible in how you can overclock, undervolt, etc ("Silicon Lottery") Al

There are so, so many factors that go into that. While I'm sure you could generalise to some degree, a single case will be meaningless and the variance person to person would be very high (here is an example of some real data but is mi

I was there for that talk, good times. Lot's of great linux.conf.au talks from Tridge over the years.

I'll toot my own horn here. But there are plenty of presentations about it, Brendan Gregg's are usually pretty great. "bpftrace recipes: 5 real problems solved" - Trent Lloyd (Everything Open 2023) https://www

Not in Australia. No hot bags for any orders including Pizza. It drives me nuts, I never order really now. It’s not cold enough for the food to be stone cold, but it’s like warm at best. Not enjoyable at all. Using a standard supermarket fr

I would have assumed linux conntrack to do more rigorous "tcp window checking" as an assumption, however the article also notes they received a positive response from OpenWRT who implemented a mitigation, so I am curious to see th

Like most mac power user tools there are a few versions of most. I'm currently preferring Multitouch.app as it combines: - Letting me assign 3-finger click to middle-click for opening tabs in chrome (in Safari you can use force touch b

At -some- point you actually need to update things. If you're using a 2008 docker container you have all manner of bugs and security issues.

AMD have an equivalent in uProf: https://www.amd.com/en/developer/uprof.html Power profiling is listed as supported on all CPUs though a bunch of features (including memory bandwidth, one that I had wanted) are li

It's sadly true but also without such standards it'd be even worse, and, you'd have nothing to fall back on to try to force them to fix it.

Which is exactly why we have industry standards elsewhere. Particularly in house building for example.

Case Preserving and Case Sensitive are subtly two different things. Most case insensitive file systems are case preserving and whatever the UTF8 equivalent is I forget the name.

By contrast my 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X has automatic wipers that are just magic and other than making them slightly more or less sensitive once-off (which you can do using the dial on the wiper stalk) it responds perfectly, adjus

Apple AirPods Pro are doing all of this now. They’ll isolate people in front of you, can reject background noise but allow voice, etc. They can also correct both music audio and “transparency” audio using your Audiogram. Unfortunately for m

I only recently learnt this one, it's great for working with stacked patches in gerrit.

This is my favourite, I use it all the time. There's a couple bugs that show up but it's really good. Having real local tabs for a remote SSH is great.

One of the often not talked about problems is that lots of masks were terrible and the quality in general was very variable. There are some really great ones, and there are plenty that are quite difficult to breathe through. The N95 standar

I'm not sure about this implementation, but the parca implementation only needs the .eh_frame section of the binary (which is part of, but not all of "DWARF") which still exists even in stripped binaries. However you then sti

Prices on repair parts is the issue IMHO. I have a $1000 Samsung Washing machine. Had a similar issue with the control board dying. If I had to replace it myself, that circuit board is a $400 part. Without labour. You can't return it i

This is a slight variation on the "Poison Tap" attack from Samy Kamkar in 2016, where you do the same thing but with a USB/Thunderbolt network adapter. You plug it into the victim device, advertise two more specific routes of

A surprisingly sensible and wonderful set of standards. Although the 50 miles part seems unnecessarily close.

Yep, plenty of these that have come up over time. Can't think of the names of them at this point but I am sure I recall at least 5+ incidents of exactly this caused by incorrect caching.
