For two years there was an undiscovered Debian-specific vulnerability in their OpenSSL package borking the generation of keys. But your point about being screwed from within applies to this case- regenerating the keys on an affected syste

Just changing Linux's default congestion control (net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control) to 'bbr' can make a _huge_ difference in some scenarios, I guess over distances with sporadic packet loss and jitter, and encapsulation. Over

I'd really like to understand your perspective! My current/primitive understanding: * CDDL is 'BSD-like'- allowing the right for CDDL code to co-exist in perhaps proprietary/closed source codebase, so long as the CD

I was 13 when I downloaded QTest, the ID Software tech demo, from a local BBS. My brother and I shared the computer- a 486 dx2-50, in our 'bedroom'- an unfinished basement. The antique desk our only furniture, a bare lightbulb han

I love the Reform (typing on one now). Over the last couple years it has been remarkably dependable, and I've been able to make a few mods to it- such as changing out the keyboard PCB/switches to choc white. I really appreciate th

Saying they're fast is a relative statement. I primarily use an MNT Reform. On 4x ARM Cortex-A53 cores, most modern web apps are slow (the new reddit interface, the new gmail, virtually every airline booking UI, my music player of ch

It exists? I got mine from Teklager, shipped internationally. Unfortunately the SFP didn’t work with my ISP’s fibre module (it would flap). I believe this is a Linux thing though. Otherwise quite happy with it. https://teklager.s

I don't mean to completely discredit your sentiment. However, I'm making this comment on an MNT Reform. It has served wonderfully as my only laptop for the last year. I'd love to know about equally successful laptops that act

Not 'just a clone'. vaultwarden is based on a totally different platform, and is less resource hungry. In particular, it consumes much less RAM.

Heh, my mother was recently alarmed by the following iOS notification: (password-at-risk-blah-blah)... 'iPad can help you re-secure your account.' She associates poor grammar with phishing attempts, so assumed this could not have

OP was simply pointing out that by the looks of it, the new series will not be helmed by any Auteur. Peter Jackson was a modern auteur and people's expectations for LotR have been set by his distinct style.

Adding my personal beef with the majority of tech 'reviews': The lack of honest distinction between a (medium-term usage) product review, and hands-on/impressions. Even with some hard data/testing methodologies- when you

Hmm what do you mean by piss poor 4k support? I have a 27" 4k display and so far things have been great with debian/gnome at 200% scaling. From what I can tell at least integer scaling is pretty good in most Linux desktop environm

If you have $3-5/month to spare on a VPS, a similar but self hosted solution can be achieved- Tunnel/VPN and reverse proxy- using Wireguard and Caddy. Caddy in particular is extremely easy to configure, with the bonus that HTTPS&#

Yeah, interesting point! However, even if you just adjusted all the other dev costs in that list by a factor of two or three - Star Citizen would still easily remain in the top five. My point was mainly- Compare CIG's efforts to other

Star Citizen is a topic I sink a bit of time into every year or so, because I find the whole phenomenon incredibly curious and somewhat unique to our times. Don't be generous to Cloud Imperium Games (CIG). If I had to present but a sin

I have a Reform and totally agree. I only had prior experience with Cherry MX blue & brown, so I expected more tactility from what Kailh is calling choc brown. MNT recently announced standalone keyboards with other Kailh switches as opt

If anyone is looking for the alternative to Ubiquiti since their fall from grace in recent years, I've found it to be HP Aruba. I always use more open source stuff for personal projects, but Aruba Instant On is what I commonly recommen

If you're looking for a slick cross-platform Jellyfin client in the Apple ecosphere, try Infuse. It's quite polished, and even available for tvOS- my personal motivation for using it.

I've just concluded it's more difficult to dose psilocybe truffles than mushrooms. The psilocybin content in the former is wildly inconsistent. I had two experiences, shared with a friend, spaced months apart using the same variet

Yes! I purchase music from Bandcamp, where everything can be downloaded DRM-free. https://bandcamp.com/ I have a VPS with Navidrome as a web streamer/front-end. Navidrome also provides an API compatible with Subsonic.

Fitlet2 looks rather nice to me. Outfitted with an Intel J3455 CPU, and 2-4 Intel NICs, it is really power efficient for its performance class (idles at ~6 watts, for those that care). There are also some Chinese companies producing slightl
