Think flexible-sized partitions. Then forget it again because it is too wrong. The one really nice scenario this opens up that is discussed in the pull request linked in another comment: 1. Server A has an encrypted dataset in pool foo,

2 minutes is cute. If you stress a CMS setup hard enough that the young generation is completely full, it will allocate directly in the old generation. This of course screws the full gc heuristic totally, up to the point where the GC is sta

But a hit to german trading to the UK is a small price to pay instead of the hit it would take by setting precedent that you can just willy-nilly leave with all the perks. And I can tell you, the german-language media is already full of &qu

There is a saying I can't fully remember about the nobility of an old man planting a tree, knowing he will never sit in its shade. At which point should you switch from trying to shape your generation's future to trying to shape t

As a german, there is a reason Hitler create a centralized government tuned for efficiency; and there is a reason Germany was rebuilt as an inefficient bureaucracy. Because in the latter you only get to move fast on something if every singl

No, we all agree that, both historically and presently, our political leaders are incompetent and not to be trusted with such a sharp blade. They get children's scissors and should be happy about it.

The EU forces a minimum standard for you have to implement, correct. Like not pumping unfiltered sewage into a freshwater reservoir, giving a damn about air pollution, non-toxic children's toys etc. These are not made-up examples.

Why would the EU give such a favorable deal to a country as unimportant as UK? The EU-member UK leaving is an important signal; but non-EU-member Uk is an irrelevant tiny market. The Brexit camps idea that they could leave so they could fin

SSDs use CRC to deliver their probabilistic data storage approximation. FS level checksums are, among others, for when that fails. FS level checksums also cover bitflips on your bus during the write phase (the drive will crc the already bad

Between the ZFS-like features and the advertised "novel copy-on-write metadata" scheme, I would not be surprised if it was partially based on DragonFly's HAMMER/HAMMER2 filesystem.

I've ran the initial FreeBSD patchsets for ZFS support on a dual-p3 with 1.5g ram, so 1g for a recent version should be more than doable. ZFS on FreeBSD has become a lot better with low-memory situations. There are two additional thing

Interesting. First that article compares GDP per capita, then explains why it is wrong and adjusts for cost of living. Then it compares those adjusted numbers to the still unadjusted numbers from europe and calls it a day. This would be a r

Yes, but in the presented hypothetical and over such a long time, the fact that it was able to maintain this in its current underdog role does not mean it would have been able to so as the main adopted 'nix.

Just a hash or a single salted hash iteration has been on the bad practice list for a very long time. Hashes are designed to be fast, key derivation functions are intended to be slow. There are a number of KDFs that build on top of the SHA

I understand why it is done; and that the new error pages that are not filled with technical details are a net win overall. But there are people out there that need those technical details, so that other people do not have to see them.

If you mean the one starting with D, then I may have mistyped and need to try that again. Thought that did not work for the HSTS block.

by mioelnir 10y ago
My personal grief with HSTS is that it pretty much requires you to have installed and trusted one random 400 CA collection or the other. If you have uninstalled/distrusted most of them, no current browser will allow you to access a HST

IllumOS distros use OpenZFS as well. Unless there is a new feature flag that has not been integrated yet, FreeBSD should be able to receive from them. rsync is therefor most likely talking about commercial Solaris with zpool versions beyond

And if you end up with more than one AS due to a merge, you usually pick one them as your primary and connect the other ones to it, then announce their prefixes from your primary, ie. your primary AS becomes transit for your other ones. Tha

Yes, and it works good with Go since you have static executables so you do not have to set the capability on an interpreter. But you have to reapply it after every upgrade, which is easy enough to automate. That said, I mostly use mac_porta

The bigger problem is that in go you can not do privilege revocation. And although unprivileged binding <=1023 has been a solved problem for well over a decade, most people still consider it a dark art. So they go for a reverse proxy, mo

It is things like `net/mail.ParseAddress()` that I have come to really enjoy in Go's standard library.
