hkp literally stands for HTTP keyserver protocol. Does your corporate proxy really mess up HTTP connections? Why does it matter how apt-key is implemented? Its purpose is key management, and whether it uses bash for the job or perl or C is

by lorenzhs 9y ago
Right, sorry, it should be using hkps as protocol and leave out the port. Especially when copying and pasting things anyway, the long form should always be preferred. I think there was an article on here several months ago on the dangers

As an adverb, it means likewise , and thus refers to major in a major online retailer .

It does not. In this context, it means likewise . It can also mean aforesaid or the same thing again (in a list).

by lorenzhs 9y ago
In that sentence, it refers to major in "a major online retailer" → "a major river". From Google's definition (no idea where they pull it from): informally, used to indicate that something already said is applica

Isn't the solution to publish the key on a keyserver and fetch it with apt-key? Something like apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys <fingerprint>

It does in well-designed machines, although usually not in the ultraslim ones. The ThinkPad T470 can sustain full turbo indefinitely according to notebookcheck. Lenovo's premium line (X1 Carbon/Yoga) cannot, though, as they'r

Cooling limitations are extremely applicable to laptops! You can easily have two different machines with identical CPUs and 10%+ performance difference because one has a proper cooling system while the other doesn't. Check the notebook

I find it hilarious that you're downvoted for "tall people should pay for economy plus" while "fat people should pay for two seats" is near the top of this very discussion. As a tall and thin person, shame!

The thing is that airlines don't always honour it if a big person buys two seats. They might admit another passenger last-minute, and then you paid for two full-price tickets and still have only one seat. It's not like big people

We have the same regulation in Germany, fyi. I'm not quite tall enough for it to be a major issue but it can be quite uncomfortable.

Interesting, thanks for your measurement points! I rarely make pizza at home so I don't have a stone but I've been meaning to get one. Since they (hopefully) have high thermal conductivity it should be fairly easy to measure with

And people get mad on here when I say that I use an adblocker. Until the ad industry gets its shit together, I will continue to do so, as not blocking ads is negligent from a security perspective. This is a terrible state of affairs.

Are you sure it takes an hour for the stone to reach temperature? You need the entire thing to be as hot as the oven can make it, but does that really take that long? Heating it any longer doesn't make a difference other than increase

I happen to have recently turned 160kg of flour, 100kg of tomato sauce, 70kg of mozzarella cheese and 160kg of various toppings into pizza over the span of five days (with many helping hands) at a Dutch hacker camp, SHA2017. See https:&#x2

2SAT is boring because given a clause with one unfulfilled literal, you know the other literal must be satisfied. There's no choice to be made. This limits backtracking enormously. It can even be solved in linear time (although that&#x

Yeah, nobody would consider an arXiv-only article by an unknown author. There are plenty of P=NP "proofs" published on the arXiv. But that isn't what it is for. It's a preprint server where you have to do your own qualit

That is so far outside of their competence that I'm not sure how you constructed this absurd scenario. Why would Merkel be able to sign a contract on universities' behalf? The EU is pushing for more open access publishing, but the

let me rephrase gbrown_'s question: which part of my CPU is specific to ZFS? Because that's what ASIC means. The acronym stands for Application-specific integrated circuit .

Yeah an ASIC is an Application-specific integrated circuit . SIMD instructions are not application-specific.
