Bash scripting is so bad that being better than it is actually setting the bar rather low. The only thing more remarkable than bash's cruftyness is the number of people who have developed Stockholm syndrome towards it.

The key difference is that there is a lot of overprovisioned storage out there currently sitting idle which could be used to farm Chia with only a marginal increase in energy usage. The theory is that as this overprovisioned storage comes o

I left the storage industry about 5 years ago, but at least as of then the big cloud providers were still buying lots of spinning rust and showed no signs of stopping. These companies store a lot of long tail data which needs to be availa

There's been a lot of misinformation spread about what TDP means for modern CPUs. In Intel's case TDP is the steady state power consumption of the CPU in its default configuration while executing a long running workload. Long mean

For me at least the vast majority of the data is being downloaded from various servers under bootstrap.libp2p.io or preload.ipfs.io. These are clearly dedicated servers not true peers. The contact info for these servers appears to be retrie

This has been the state of IPFS for years now. The protocol and client haven't been developed to where they can work reliably in a real P2P scenario. IPFS only appears to work because most requests go strait to one of the big gateways

This sort of thing is the result of a permitting policy called may-issue. Basically it means the party that issues permits, usually the local sheriff or police department, can deny a concealed carry application for any reason. States adopt

Widevine L1 does in fact watermark the decrypted bitstream. I don't think it's still true today, but there was a period last year where releasing decrypted L1 content without re-encoding meant sacrificing an NVIDIA Shield. The Shi

How much of my premium subscription money would go to creators? That's an honest question. Google doesn't give even a vague hint as to what proportion of the fee is rev-shared. I suspect it is rather less than what I would like, e

What money? Like I said, the USPS has been losing money even before it makes the pension payments. To cover it's pension costs the USPS has been taking on debt from the treasury.

Yes, in hindsight a lot of people were hopelessly optimistic about the timeline. That doesn't mean it will never come to pass. The increasingly dire economics of IPv4 will force a disruptive change at some point, and IPv6 remains the h
