Rosetta can be used to emulate individual processes inside a linux-based virtual machine - Apple provide tooling for this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/run...

Exactly this. Plus as the Apple virtualisation framework now implements pretty standard virtual hardware - it uses virtio - we are finding things work vastly better in Docker for Mac - particularly as we can use virtiofs etc to pass files t

We deploy containers to production, and use variants of the same containers for local development - mostly Debian. Those containers contain a mix of custom built software and packages from the distro.

VMs through things like Docker for Mac, in our case. And yes - it’s exactly the same as you can do if you use x86 servers and dev machines. It’s just the fact that we can also do this for ARM on hardware that doesn’t suck that makes using A

On a mix of Graviton2 and 3 based instances, we’ve found no significant difference between ARM, Intel, and AMD instances for weird problems/instance replacement, etc.

Yes, but we tend to focus on passive cooling rather than active cooling - your comment was all about active cooling and the extra costs thereof, and passive cooling techniques do not imply an extra power cost. But yes - modern lower power h

In most of Europe this isn't very applicable as most of Europe doesn't have any kind of active cooling in houses like A/C.

Yes - a Casio fx991ES PLUS. Have owned it since school, and I vastly prefer it for quick maths to a phone or a computer-based calculator. I keep looking for something similarly basic and affordable that has a backlit display, so far no hits

Yes - it's a Debian Linux based router distro that is at least partially modelled after Juniper's configuration style. edit: used to be a maintainer for a short while :)

Debian on servers. Boring and predictable. Arch on desktops. Recent versions of packages is usually more important for me on a desktop. Has served me well for a long time at this point - in excess of a decade.

I fully expect the attestors to be platform vendors - Google, Apple, MS. It’ll be cryptographic chain-of-trust based, with it sending a fingerprint, probably encrypted/signed with a per device key stored in something like a TPM, to the

I consider it an utterly disgusting premise, that will: - make OSS systems second class systems online - make older devices second class systems online - prevent people from modifying devices they own (as it'll break the chain of trust

I really like Inconsolata except for one letter. The “g” just looks wrong to me, and it puts me right off!

Monaco’s my go to coding font and has been for at least 15 years. Really love the letter forms, and it’s just so immediately readable for me. But I don’t really like it in terminals - I use SF Mono there.

by minimaul 3y ago
SF Mono and Monaco are my two all-time favourite monospaced fonts - weirdly, I really like SF Mono for terminals and Monaco for code editors!

I’m a big fan of the ASRock deskminis for low power servers - dual 2.5” SATA bays, some have dual NVMe too. Very nice little platforms with low power draw, and low noise! I’ve got one of the DeskMini X300 on my desk atm with a 5750GE in it

Very nice of CloudFlare to help out with blocking this - as much as I don’t want the whole web to be dependent on them (I think it is unhealthy for the web as a whole), it’s good to see them giving back to people like non-profits. https:&#

I’m playing quite a wide variety of titles - from recent AAA on the Steam Deck to really old titles that have never even been on Steam. Plus emulators for all sorts of systems - from really old up to things like GameCube/Wii or even Sw

Their compute stack is still very lacking compared to CUDA, but it is improving. The OSS 3D acceleration for Radeon cards is functional, implements Vulkan and OpenGL competently, and is fast. It’s built primarily by AMD & Valve engineer

I genuinely don’t recognise what you’re describing - for context I have a AMD APU system (5750GE - zen 3 and vega GPU cores), and a steam deck. I’ve had the APU for over a year now. I also have a desktop with a NVIDIA 3090. All three are st

My experience was that those kinds of back covers would always come loose over time and/or after they were removed a few times they never fit properly again.

Really recommend this, it's very useful to us at work for capturing email from local dev environments for email testing - we run it as part of our dockerised dev setup. Means we don't have to worry about ever accidentally hitting

This is an underrated solution. It's not cheap (especially with how badly people are gouging on the right eras of hardware), but there's nothing like period hardware for compatibility with that early 3D era.

86box will do right up to and including Pentium II or K6/2 if your CPU is fast enough. edit: also, Win 98 works very well - I use it often in 86box.

^ this can work pretty well with the caveats that: 1. 3D card support is pretty limited - only 3dfx cards, and the voodoo 3 support is fairly buggy 2. you need a pretty solid CPU to use it well.

Apple have actually been transitioning to their own tiny core called Chinook (from what I remember it's a tiny ARM64 microcontroller-sized core) running their RTKit.
