I've also read that it takes more power (battery) to render black than it does white. Combined with the need for more brightness it doesn't seem like a good solution. Calibrating my monitors took them from having piercing bluish

Seems like “victim preparation” to me. How about a deterrent? My neighborhood has had thefts too. I assume my two dogs barking have been enough to keep them at bay. It wouldn’t surprise me if statistically this holds true elsewhere. Low

I use astronomical timers for outdoor lighting and indoor night lights. The rest of your uses look more like “because I can” and are not filling an actual need. Besides, my pets jumping on and off furniture would trigger those senors mor

I’m not an expert but as I understand it, many chips have hardware offloading (what I referred to as Hardware NAT). However, it’s bundled into a closed blob. Meaning it may only work with the kernel it was developed against and that it ca

The MediaTek MT7621 SoC has support for hardware NAT in OpenWrt. The driver is being developed by Felix Fietkau of ath9k fame who has stated that it’s the most open (blob free) 5Ghz chip on the market. I’ve been using an mt7621 device s

My comment also states that since adblockers have come along a DNS solution seems a bit archaic. Adblockers are even more slick and user friendly so your reply doesn’t at all answer, why? Why move back to a less than solution? Lack of dev

Seemingly every other week for months now a Pihole post makes the front page on HN. Every time I wonder why. IMO, it's just a DNS black hole with a slick interface. Before adblockers came along I had a script that updated my hosts fil

I'm curious as to why the author chose "AI Gigapixel". What made it a better choice than say NNEDI3 or SuperRes or any other NN upscaler (there’s a bunch of them out there)? Were others even considered?

I was referring to The Scene [1]. They stopped releasing in Xvid around ~2012. What you're talking about are known as "peer groups". These groups/individuals do as they wish (to put it kindly). [1] https://

The scene values quality. It's why their file sizes seem large to some. x264 at CRF 18-21 still can't be matched by x265 at any bitrate. I'm a videophile and have been using Avisynth (Vapoursynth mostly these days) since th

As a non EU member I'm jealous. I would love to see a uBlock filter list targeting all non GPDR compliant addresses. Maybe something like the 'Badware risks' list that allows you to proceed but not before displaying a warnin

For the first time in years I’m considering Debian. Not because Ubuntu is bad in any way, there just seems to be less difference between it and upstream Debian these days. Many are praising this as a good thing and I don’t disagree. As a

I see you’re point, though I too use LVM and haven’t seen that happen... weird. I could have been more exact with my response as autoremove does more than just remove old kernels. Anyway, it would be nice to see Canonical resolve this.

I thought about sharing it but like I said it’s not pretty. It involves editing sudoers and holding back config updates for sudoers and update-notifier-common which might cause problems in the future if you’re not aware. I’d much rather s

Whenever a kernel is updated autoremove should be called immediately afterwards. It should be called before the restart now / restart later dialog box of update-notifier appears. Currently, Ubuntu installs a new kernel and update-noti

I'm approaching it like this - I need to execute unsigned binaries from a location that does not have execute permissions. How can I manage this? The lack of a signature is at best an administrative burden and at worst an attack vect

Can someone explain why Mozilla is not signing gmpopenh264.dll and now eme-adobe.dll? These are executed from AppData (a folder with read/write permissions). Executing dll's from AppData is generally a bad idea but if I'm g

I'm not aware of network faults just "user errors". Allowing js and plug-ins to run puts you in the "low hanging fruit" category.

It's down to the binary drivers. They lock firmwares to a specific kernel. Your only option is to backport fixes. I read in forums that devs aren't interested do to introducing bugs and citing lack of free time. I roll my own T
