   Exactly. And they went through a lot of pain around 4.2Lite to eliminate any remaining AT&T code. So, strictly, not by the original definition _or_ by the post-1993 one. But in real life? Yes, definitely.

   Thanks for posting my story. Very short summary: IBM closed the main US R&D centre for AIX, the last proprietary UNIX in commercial development. Linux has passed Open Group compatibility testing: it is a UNIX™®. And it's now the la

   It is indeed, but I am not running it. :-) I am not inclined to remove a tool that's working pretty well and replace it with something entirely different just to get access to this one small function. I think that's reasonable, is

   Interesting. Do you have any pointers to how to do that? TrueNAS Core is a FreeBSD distro. Docker is a Linux tool. That implies to me I'd need a Linux distro in a VM, then Docker on that, then more config on top. Which sounds hard. Whi

   It is not all about benchmarks. Benchmarks are just statistics. You know what Benjamin D'Israeli said about statistics, right? "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." There are more important thing

   Note the timescales! Over millennia. I'm talking about 5-6-7 metres sea level rise in the lifetime of most posters and commenters on HN. In the next 70-odd years. That renders a few cm uplift in the 21st century an utter irrelevance.

    Yes, there is, if you avoid the petrochemicals-funded loonies. We are probably heading for about 3º–4º C of warming this century, which very strongly implies an ice-free Arctic and the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. That alone su

    Does anyone know of a version of, or way to run, Pi-Hole on TrueNAS Core? That's what my home NAS runs, and while its list of "appliances" is quite long, it doesn't contain any network ad-blockers, AFAICS. I am not bothe

    [Author of the review here] It absolutely is, yes. That is how I captured the screenshot for that article. But the thing is that that doesn't let you get any real feel for how it works with the hardware. One big aspect, of course, is t

    The G4s were the period during which Apple transitioned from Classic MacOS to Mac OS X. Early G4s all could boot Classic. The last few couldn't. No G5s can. (Note: all PowerMacs that can run Mac OS X 10.0-10.4 can run Classic inside th
