Their firewall is essentially iptables. If you can work iptables, you can work the routeros firewall.

Vista ran positively well on decent hardware. On a relatively recent (at the time) processor and ideally more than 1GB of RAM and it was absolutely fine. It's reputation for instability was heavily due to early NVIDIA WDDM drivers bein

At least in the UK, this is getting ever more cloud oriented. A lot of especially small-business accounting software is online.

If you're not using the EAP build of Rider, you're running an Intel IDE on that M1 laptop (see: https://rider-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/440192... ). Try the Rider EAP with .net 6 - I f

I'm writing PHP8 with the Symfony 5.3 framework at present too, and I'm also liking it. Provides what I need to build with and otherwise stays out the way. The improvements over the lifespan of PHP7, and the new things in PHP8 mak

It is actually impossible to grab for me in Safari. I wish frontend developers would stop messing with UI :(

It's really noticeable, and a lot worse than it used to be. My dev desktop is a 5800X with 64G of RAM and a nice samsung m.2 SSD. VS feels slow on it. Rider doesn't. VS Code doesn't.

If you don't need anything that is VS dependent, it works. eg Most .net code I write is for .net core and will eventually run on Linux. Rider is great for this. Cheaper than a version of VS that actually has the features you'd w

You’re comparing Geekbench 4 and 5 scores - you can’t do that. It’s a different scale. Here’s an example of a Geekbench 5 score: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/10501477

I think to be honest a project like this is not just about practical advantages. It's fun , and it's an amazing learning exercise.

The old iTunes Media Library .xml format isn't too complicated - I wrote a few small tools to generate m3u8 playlists, and another to convert .m3u8 playlists into itunes library xml. Then I just import that straight into the music app.

We’ve been moving more and more to it. It works, and surprisingly well. It’s not quite up there for absolute single thread performance in our experience, but price/perf is excellent. edit: really, I’m just waiting for Graviton 2 Fargat

Yep. My employer is a mix of PHP and JS. PHP 8 for our API, JS for the app that consumes it - sharing code both server-side and client-side. It works really well for us. Development on a modern version of PHP with a framework like Symfony o

95th percentile is pretty much industry standard charging for B2B connections (although my understanding of how places like openreach charge ISPs is that it's a bit different to normal 95%) - but it does neatly map to 'you use mor

In the UK, most ISPs don't build from the edge out to their own core. Most ISPs use a shared wholesale network provided by Openreach & BT Wholesale (or Openreach & TT Business, or Openreach & Zen Wholesale, etc). Customer c

WfH for me includes pushing content and containers about - 115 up helps a LOT there. MSFS is actually a bad example, the download servers are wacky at least in the UK - you won't sustain more than about 250mbit. But other titles from s

The only ISPs we’ve had persistent VPN problems with for Work from Home for my work have been Virgin and TalkTalk, and TalkTalk was solved with a newer router. VM don’t even admit it’s their issue.

They do, but they’re sufficiently high you really shouldn’t hit them unless your traffic pattern is very extreme (the main home option is 5TB/month). Asymmetric FTTP is because they’re using Openreach’s FTTP platform (like most other I

It does make a difference if you have anyone in your house doing gaming (games are HUGE now), and it makes a big difference for me on work from home. Especially the difference between A&A’s fastest 160/30 service and Openreach’s 10

Andrews and Arnold or IDNET for me. I have a gigabit FTTP service from IDNET (over Openreach FTTP) and it has been very reliable. edit: it’d be on A&A if they did 1000/115 as an option. I’d avoid pretty much all of the standard ret

NUCs aren’t fanless, the newer versions tend to be 25W and have very loud and whiny fans, and in fanless cases they tend to throttle, sadly. I replaced one with an M1 mac mini and the mac mini is faster and near silent - I have literally ne

And as an extra point - can you actually guarantee that all your DNS lookups hit your DNS server first? That's harder than it sounds, with more and more apps implementing their own DNS over HTTPS clients - Firefox does it for instanc

For what it's worth, this does work. For now. The main issue is if it gets sold later, or assigned by RFC. As an example, more than one company I've worked for used .dev as a TLD for their dev environments, with local DNS to ove

In my experience, public transport is great in europe if you're in a capital city . If you're not, then it is very patchy, and you end up having to drive everywhere.

Definitely at least some software emulation on x86. The manual for that system shows a board name "PEAK876VL2" in a picture - that's an x86 board - but LGA1156, so old!

Translation for software is cheap, but internationalisation can be tricky - different languages have vastly different rules. Europe's not too bad here though. There are other costs though - such as support. In the US you can grow prett

Another decent barrier here is language. Europe has lots of different languages in use, and while a lot of people speak english it's far from universal. It makes it quite tricky to offer services across the whole of Europe without a lo

100% yes. Touch controls suck for gaming because your fingers drift. There's no physical feedback that your fingers are on top of the button and ready to press. It sucks, and I really really hope that this doesn't catch on.
