I prefer Linux to Windows 10/11 because Windows has telemetry and uncontrolled updates. Windows 7 is fine, though.

It's probably good for running TOTP authentificator or some kind of crypto wallet software, especially considering the lack of internet connectivity on this device, which makes it more secure for this purpose (though it may output QR c

Infinity is out of domain of integer numbers where notions of even and odd are defined and make sense. Notion of infinity is applicable when we are discussing sequences and their behaviour, such as convergence. Convergence of sequence x(n)

Absense of limit is not always an infinity, e.g. for sequence (-1)^n. Even if sequence is unbounded, it does not always converge to infinity, e.g. n^((1+(-1)^n)/2): 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 6, 1, 8, 1, 10, 1, 12, 1, 14, 1, 16, 1, 18, 1, 20 ... C

On Linux with glibc, static linking breaks DNS resolver client: gethostbyname(3) and friends. As a workaround, you can link to musl libc, but that is only for software written in C, it does not work with C++. FreeBSD is better in this regar

I guess they parse /etc/resolv.conf (via Go standard library) and just ignore /etc/nsswitch.conf (which is going to work OK in 99.999% cases). For the rest 0.001% cases there is a non-default option to link to system lib

I don't understand you. I have said that Hetzner is not going to suspend my account (or deprive me of customer support) on the grounds of paying too little per month. What kind of data point you need? I am the data point. I'm thei

Fortunately traditional hosting providers like Hetzner won't suspend me even if I pay $10/month on average. That's why I avoid Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure and AWS like a plague. I prefer to have a freedom to switch

I agree, but IIRC Warcraft 2 hadn't sole-purpose obstacles which can be freely constructed by the player, only Warcraft 1 had those ones. Though in Warcraft 2 sole-purpose obstacles were available as a preexisting objects on the map.

Besides ZIP metadata, there may be flushes in specific points in the deflate stream (which applies to .gz files as well). These flushes reset the compression dictionary and make further compressed data independent from previous data (at the

I've recently observed gcc 10.x emitting LEAVE instruction in functions using __builtin_alloca or __attribute__(( force_align_arg_pointer )), although only for x86_64 targets (for i686 it's still MOV ESP, EBP / POP EBP pair).

Previous attempts of de-escalation have gone nowhere: Russia continues to attack its neighbours and annex their territory, or create puppet separatist states (Moldovan Transnistria in 1992, Georgian South Ossetia and Abkhazia in 1990s and 2

In this case digital signature is not required (unlike official microcode update instructions), I guess. Otherwise there's no news.

I run most of this software in LXC containers, which are exposed on the LAN side of the router only (and have separate IP address). If it's necessary to expose some service on the WAN side, then I must configure a WAN-to-LAN port forwa

Yep, I found that OpenMW in large city (Vivec) is barely playable, 3-5 fps at best. That's on GTX 1050 Ti (Windows). Though that may be due to the mods (Fullrest Repack). Besides aforementioned low fps in Vivec, OpenMW is great. I&#x27
