ZFS will always be a smoother experience on FreeBSD as opposed to Linux because FreeBSD endorses it. Thus the user land and documentation is written assuming you’re running ZFS. As opposed to Linux where some distros might ship pre-compiled

You don’t need to cover every parameter and use case of every command. You just need to cover the most common use cases and give them priority over the more esoteric flags. So beginners get help but power users can still use the shell. I sa

Already got a stack of records from Cari and Jasper. Particularly love Cari’s Agent Orange stuff. I’ve not knowingly come across Boris before though. Pretty sure I’d have heard some of his records play but looking at his discography I think

Yeah, I was around then; buying those records, going to those clubs and in many cases partying with those DJs. But that was the end of “Techno” as a synonym for “electronic music. By then there was already numerous sub genres and many of th

Slam, Adam Beyer (Drumcode) and Chris Liebling (CLR) are all good places to start. They all have weekly radio stations. From there on you can follow an guest DJs who you like the style off. Also when did “techno” become an umbrella term aga

I’m not saying it’s right but it’s worth baring in mind that Russian and Chinese state media make the same claims about unverified attacks being US lead. At best it’s just speculation and at worst it’s just the same old propaganda machine t

No. Bob predates Comic Sans by a year or two. Comic Sans was originally released as part of Microsoft Plus, and then later used in Comic Chat (their take on IRC). Comic Chat is an interesting enough topic to warrant its own discussion thoug

I would imagine if this house isn’t strong then future designs would be. Bricks and coffee mugs are also made out of clay so it’s not like we don’t already have a long history of experience working with the substance to create durable mater

The problem is the same irrespective of how the house is built. You need holes for pipes and holes for an extractor fan. The bonus here is that 3D printed surfaces mean you don’t need to drill out material to make the holes.

As per the linked readme, there is a Linux kernel and it is emulated. Basically this project is a Linux emulator but rather than exposing libc APIs it exposes Win32 et al via WINE. Pretty neat idea but comes with all the usual caveats of ru

In the U.K. we actually have had these kinds of cases go to court and as a result those charges have to be presented clearly before the user has signed the contract. Some places even make you sign that specific clause to evidence that you

I do have family/friends in HK and they very much did care. There has also been large numbers of people moving from HK because “[they] don’t want to be stuck in HK after mainland China has taken control”.

You’re missing the point. I wasn’t suggesting CGA was brilliant. I was just saying that CGA actually works best when differed because the screens of the time blended the pixels to create new colours. And that the reason CGA uses the colour

Bare in mind the displays of the time would have blended the pixels. Likewise those who complain that CGA is “only 4 awful colours” have clearly never used a proper CGA system the way it was originally intended. The following YouTube video

Indeed. My point wasn’t intended to read as a disagreement to yours but rather a complimentary “old games did stuff that will look wrong on modern hardware because they intentionally exploited the limitations of older hardware” point

It’s more than that. Graphics were designed to take advantage of the technical limitations. Eg Using the blending effects to create new colours in the CRT or chess-board ‘stipple’ effect of alternating between foreground and background pixe

While that’s true it’s also important not to discourage youngsters from having ideas. It’s all too common that us older, perhaps more jaded, folk will lecture others with comments like “ideas are cheap” but those ideas come from people with
