That's what I was thinking. Recently got myself a PS4 because they are really affordable now and god damn those loading times are obscene. About an hour to install new game on first disc load - didn't even connect to internet to s

What are you talking about long load times on a PS5? Isn't it supposed to revolutionize gaming by dropping load times altogether because of it's ridiculously ( for a consoles anyways ) fast SSDs? That's what I have heard anyw

I understand why you might want to block those specific countries, but in my personal cybersec experience, most of the malicious traffic actually comes from AWS and other big enterprises, mainly because of compromised servers hosted there.

PlayStation 4 OS is based on FreeBSD, so it certainly has been eyeballed quite extensively. There have been numerous jailbreaks in the past, but I can't tell how many of those were due to FreeBSD itself or just regular webkit exploits.

It's counterproductive to hire people who go against established procedures and built systems at company just because they have high quality opinions about one piece of software or another.

I know people will now argue into oblivion about powershell vs bash, but I actually wonder why was this person hired in first place to manage windows based systems what clearly seems not be his domain of expertise?

Can you just tell which maps are those? Whenever I check OpenArena I am saddened to see that every server is empty of humans or there are just few russians arguing in regular stype maps

I still do, because there is no other game which can match the experience of jump-slide-fps action as this one does, simple as that. Sadly there are only ever two maps where people still play and neither of them roll Dust2 or Ryiadh maps, w

I have much doubt that bot could deploy a code capable of executing on this vintage CPU architecture - security through obsolescence.

I guess that's better than buying 4x 512GB micro sdcards to juggle around, trying to remember which game was on which exact card or where you might have lost one.

I find it amusing that this huge hunk of metal made to dissipate heat costs as much as state of the electronic marvel CPU underneath it.

Nice project, I wanted to build meme search engine myself one day, but figured Tesseract will fail at most of the memes because of how stylized those have become. So I tuned down my meme source to only /r/bertstrips as those conta

What was the game? I bought Steam Deck this October and my first impression was nothing but - holly fucking shit it works! This is because after many years of tweaking Wine to run what could be described old school games, I have already giv

Because your LMT ISP decided that if client wants their own IP they should upgrade to Business plan, that's all there is to it. They probably don't have enough IPv4 addresses to hand them out to each client and use NAT instead, ma

I understand why you are angry, but keep in mind that western europe is no saint either. Dieselgate something something.

Eastern europeans won't even notice AdBlue shortage and continue trucking like nothing happened. (It's super popular past time activity to disable that thing even on brand new trucks, even dealers are in on it ( citation needed, h

I am currently in the process of migrating my own servers to FreeBSD. So far it's a slow process to learn these new tools, instead of what I am used to, i.e ip addr/route show, iptables, nft list ruleset and different default dire

Chances are that PostgreSQL will be more performant on FreeBSD, but that would require a wee-bit of very specific fine-tuning for specific workload pgsql is doing and it would ultimately be thanks to ZFS, which I think is default on FreeBSD

That makes sense, thanks. It just occurred to me how interesting of a challenge it is to write a bittorrent client. There are so much issues to work on, like how to effectively retrieve chunks of files and in meantime balance upload speed e

In my thinkpad T440p CPU whines, but only when it's in lowest power saving state. I can only hear it when I turn side ways to it, but it honestly doesn't bother me much, since lowest power saving states are quite rare to enter dur

Million dollar question - at which point it gets easier to learn how to host things on your own vs keeping up with this cloud mumbo-jumbo bull type of knowledge?

could achieve something similar a bit different way - by using Linux nftables ( new iptables ) netfilter interface. I have setup like this for measuring used traffic by certain daemons running under specific user: table inet raw { ...

I bought Thinkpad T440p for about 200 eur used. It was actually pawned by someone so I bought it locally no shipping was needed. It is an excellent device and hardware wise very powerful - i5-4300M, 8GB of RAM, 250GB SSD. Got lucky and it h

I did not know that one can flash openwrt on top of mikrotik. I have nothing against mikrotik, just not a big fan of learning yet another command line interface for doing same stuff I do for living on linux - manage firewalls and stuff.

so the hot takeaway here is that CSS must absolutely be embedded in HTML header so that browser does not make two requests to start rendering page in question. Also if page is using TLS and it most likely is, this all falls apart because in
