> It also tells me how primitive Google Ads are, when they keep showing me an ad I reported. Why wouldn't they? They still get paid for it, and if you could block an ad by reporting it, you'd just report every ad until there we

You're underestimating the ease of use of these pirate boxes. Also most of them are for pirating live TV. You can't watch live TV through Bittorrent, you just can't, it doesn't work that way. Sports fans need less than 5

If you have $20 to spend avoiding ads, you have $30 to spend on cool products so the advertiser is willing to spend up to $24 to make you not block ads about a $30 product you'll buy (that costs $5 to make)

It's probably cheaper to switch your ISP to one that your target site does not block, than to pay someone else to buy that connection and proxy all your traffic through them.

At least Google thinks you do. And Google kind of has the power to decide where the global south is, at least as far as it pertains to captchas.

How about topics the Russian government doesn't care about? How about topics that USA censors? Of course you should not search Ukraine info on yandex. But you are only showing the worst case scenario. What's the average and best c

Nothing besides having more of it. Apparently also hibernation, but that's more of an artificial limitation - there's no good reason a system couldn't create a hibernation file on demand.

Even a failed lawsuit has the potential to cost the company a lot more money than it costs you. If it's small claims court the company has to pay a lawyer hourly to attend as their representative, while you just have to show up and pay

Yes, it does. Just because the value is for someone else and not you, that doesn't make it any less real.

The OOM killer usually kills the process that's using the most memory, which is the reason the system is OOM. Sometimes this can be adjusted. When I'm OOM it's almost always because some runaway loop used 50GB and it makes no

The actual choice is 32GB RAM + 32GB swap or 32GB RAM + no swap. This is because people already bought their RAM and disks by the time they make the decision, and aren't using the whole disk.

One traditional reason to prefer a swap partition was that the filesystem driver might have to allocate memory. I think swap files bypass the filesystem driver, though - getting the block extents and then accessing the block device at those

mmap makes database performance worse, not better, because it makes all I/O blocking.

Ceph still does this. In fact it migrated the other way - it used to use a file, and now wants a partition. It needs an LVM partition (logical volume) because it's vertically integrated, and they are more flexible than traditional part

If they don't want to sell me a deshittified product, I'll continue paying someone else to extract the deshittified product from them. Their choice.

That's just Google not caring about your ISP because you live in the global south. Everyone gets this. US citizens get the exact same problem but Google whitelists their networks.
