Oh heck no. I have enough concerns about the security of those devices, I certainly don't want them hanging off the side of everyone's home network. I have enough expertise to put them on a separate network isolated from anythin

You're partially right. It's a complete fallacy to think that just because you consume fat, you store fat. Any fat you eat is broken down before going into the bloodstream, and is generally made available for the body to use as fu

I think in this case the "how" became the "why". Because it is now easy.

I have one answer for that if the asker is based in the US: I see Americans going on and on about denying warrantless searches of their house and car. It's everywhere. Assert your rights, don't consent to a search, remain silent,

Apparently this is about minced meat, not meat that has an association with the ground in any way. Not sure why the article doesn't just say that.

That's why Linux does keep a certain amount of RAM actually-free, so that it can hand over some pages immediately. If the amount of actually-free RAM goes below a certain amount, then it will pre-emptively evict a load of cache pages.

On the contrary, it's worse on systems with lots of memory, because those are the systems that are trying to do more. About 8 years ago I got a work machine with 384GB of RAM, and I installed early_oom on it to make the OOM killer work

Having no swap was no panacea, because all of the code sections of your running programs that are memory-mapped in effectively count as "available" clean pages that can be evicted when memory is tight, and they'll cause thras

The main problem with Linux OOM behaviour is exactly because of what counts as "available" memory. In essence, when the system is really low on memory, it will evict all the pages that are "available", which includes all

Would definitely concur, and add that it's frustratingly hard to find small pills of melatonin. I remember going to a presentation where the presenter was describing a clinical trial they were performing where they gave melatonin to so

You're making a very interesting distinction between the experimental result, which is that antimatter follows the same space-time curve as normal matter, and the dashed hope of warp drives, which is that antimatter causes the same

The air inside a fridge is really dry, simply because it is cold, but also because the heat exchanger inside has to be even colder in order to keep the fridge cold, and so all the condensation occurs on that. If you put a warm laptop insi

In their defence, curl isn't completely benign in this case. You just confirmed to the person who sent you the link that your email address is valid and reaches a person.

While still being important, I'd like to draw people's attention to the fact that this is a satellite a long way away from Earth, and is not in any significant danger of causing low Earth orbit to become a no-go area. It's

Most servers should still be able to service HTTP/1.0 requests (although you're right they'll probably just reply with a redirect to the HTTPS site).

If you have a heat source with a temperature of 2500C, then the theoretical maximum efficiency of conversion is around 89% assuming you have a heat sink available that can stay below 30C. (1.0 - (30+273)/(2500+273) = 0.89). All heat en

The problem with cash being a thing that keeps working if the lights go out is that there isn't enough of it in circulation to meet the demand if all the lights go out. Having a bit of cash means that you can still pay for your purch

IANAL too. I'll certainly agree that this is an area where different opinions abound, and also you are much less likely to be prosecuted for this, so it's likely that advice would be that it's probably alright and you'll

Agreed. I'd like to point out that the and in my post above should be viewed as a logical and, not an "and therefore".

I think the closest we are going to get to that is the Consent-o-matic plugin, where you set your permissions centrally and it automatically fills in the forms for every web site it can. And that leads through to another tip to make your co

I'll counter that - I'm of fairly slight build, and I have cut down multiple trees in my garden with my chainsaw, easily 50cm diameter. It's not that much of a stretch to imagine cutting down something a little bigger. Chains

It's on a public footpath. It's legally quite hard to stop people walking on those whenever they want to. Also, the land owner is the National Trust, and they don't tend to want to restrict access to open spaces like this. Al
