When using netboot, the boot rom will pull the files it needs from the tftp server. It will first look for them in a subdirectory with the Pi’s serial number as its name. If you’re netbooting without any sdcard installed, I’d suggest disabl

That’s been available on earlier versions of the Pi (2B v1.2, 3B, 3B+). It was not available at launch for the Pi 4, but was released in beta firmware in late September, and is currently part of the critical firmware update. It works well,

Rhinovirus is another well known cause for a common cold. A quick search result: webmd [1] gives 10%-40% for rhinovirus, 20% for coronavirus. CDC [2] has rhinovirus as the most common cause, and adds: “ Other viruses that can cause colds in

Tl;dr of a dutch article[1]: In the Netherlands there are between 40-50 covid-19 patients in ICU in critical condition. Over half of them are younger than 50. (Youngest is 16yo) Mortality is much higher for the older group, but hospitalisat

This is a different variation of the double-slit experiment, but it made me think of this result from last year, which pushes the boundaries of QM effects steadily further into the classical world. “2000 atoms in two places at once: A new r

I’ve run a Pi 3 as a PPS clocksource. I used a netbooted aarch64 buildroot on ramdisk, experimenting with rt-linux as well. I saw similar performance, including those occasional spikes. I found that the flood of interrupts caused by the usb

For a fun variation: Nordic yoghurt cultures work at room temperature. Viili (Finnish) and filmjölk (Swedish) are a bit more kefir like, and (fair warning) not to everyone’s taste. They are a combination of leuconostoc and lactococcus strai

To clarify, the European Commission had a public consultation on DST[1]. The response was strongly in favour of ending the clock changes, and furthermore favoured permanent DST. The EC has called on member states to come up with an appropri

They can and do update minor versions, but not as quickly as arch. They said to expect 4.18 for F28 in two weeks time.

A 70% solution is considered the most effective. Higher concentrations of alcohol (over 90% especially) evaporate more quickly, reducing contact time. Also, they work too quickly. By coagulating the outer proteins of bacteria instantly, th

What advanced settings allows is to edit the blocking rules with something like the uMatrix gui. Once advanced is set, open the uBlock dropdown, then click on "requests blocked". You will see a table with three columns. The second

Ublock Origin can work this way with a couple of clicks. Use the advanced user option. Allow all content globally, and then use local override on sites where you want ad blocking.

That seems a little slow. I compile nightly for my own use and it takes around 20 minutes on a haswell i5, using tmpfs for the build directory.

Yes, once you turn on the "I am an advanced user" setting, you can fine tune script blocking in Ublock Origin. It's called dynamic filtering. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filte

If I've understood correctly when I read about this before, programs that overwrite before unlinking do not work for an SSD. The SSD probably will not write the data to the same location as the old file. Instead, use fstrim to have the

That is great, thanks. It just seemed odd to compare compilers of such different age. I have nothing against clang, it certainly is faster in most cases. As others said, it makes sense for everyone to try different toolchains and see what w

Am I reading this right? He says he is comparing clang 3.8, which is a month old, to gcc 4.8, which branched over 3 years ago. I would rather see what gcc 6 does with this. That release should happen in a month or so.
