Interesting. I just did a quick Google and ended up here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-... I just tried installing your way on Fedora and it worked a treat. Very nice! Than

It sure doesn't _feel_ like Java is owned by anyone. I pick an open-source JDK to use, install it with my package manager, and I'm off to the races. C# is dripping with Microsoft. Installation takes me to a Microsoft support page,

I think Rust uses "if" for its match guards too and I don't recall it upsetting anyone. I'm all for keeping things consistent between languages if only to prevent too much bike shedding.

This is way better than async/await. This is Go/Erlang levels of green thread ease of use.

I used Fi for years, and was never super happy with it. There's a _rumor_ of it being the same priority, but I never actually saw any proof of that.

Verizon post-paid has a $25 plan though.

Are we sure that no matter how de-prioritized you are, some data is always available, with reasonable latency? I was just at a large sports stadium last night, and I was able to message my wife to tell her I was on my way home while looking

Whoa boy. You should spend your time in some different subs. I've carefully curated a list of subs that match my interests, and Reddit is delightful.

The good news, at least, is that almost anything will work. You don't need full Matter support for Home Assistant folks to be happy. The bare-minimum, local REST api built on a Monday by an intern will do it. Someone will write the Pyt

For me, it's just peace of mind. I need to know that if cloud servers go down, or even my internet goes down, my house still works. My Nest thermostats are currently cloud-only (the only parts of my house left that are), and I had to w

Well, yeah, their "dual mandate" is contradictory. You're not the first to notice, trust me. And that means that sometimes they have to sacrifice one for the other. When one is doing historically well, and the other not so gr

Okay, I think I don't know how swap works on Linux. Is it: When there's no more ram, swap is used or When ram hasn't been used in a while, it is sent to swap Or maybe a mix of both?
824.
by pkulak 4y ago
Seems silly to set aside ram to use when your ram runs out. What am I missing here?

The article says they did it because the camera needs to be on one side or the other depending on the drive side of the country. This must have been easier than building two different enclosures.

What I don't understand is this idea that searches cost them 1.2 cents each. 1.2 cents is the cost of operating a 4-core, 16-gig, 5-gigabit server on AWS for nearly 5 minutes. If a single search cost Google 1.2 cents, Google would be p

Not OP, but I _love_ talking about this stuff, so you're stuck with me. :D I'm a big fan of this project: https://frigate.video/ It's open source, and you can hook it up to a Coral (or some other things, I th

That will happen the same time email "does something about that". It's an open standard. If you join a server that doesn't federate with servers you don't like, or you just don't follow accounts that post thing

I always thought it was the extra bookkeeping at runtime that was the drawback. Think of some tight loop that’s passing an object around. Your runtime has to inc and dec an integer (or similar) on every touch. Plus, you’re adding to the siz

Except that you have about 48 hours to do that before all the mirrors start 404ing.

Well, before it was just a lot more work to create an install image and keep it updated. So you'd just stick with the official Silverblue image, or the spins (KDE, Sway, etc). And yeah, the advantage now is that you just pull from your

by pkulak 4y ago
Silverblue is pretty great. But it's really been taken to another level in the last few months since it started allowing you to _boot_ from a container image. That means, you can have some automated container build somewhere that you p

Well, the iX is just about the most efficient EV on the market (in it's style), so they've clearly figured something out.

This is basically distrobox.

by pkulak 4y ago
Plus, it relies on system libraries like glibc. You can’t even use it on distros like Void and Alpine.

We have run out of flat land along the coasts, and housing everywhere else is already dirt cheap.

I love the attitude of this article; trying to pretend that Chome is somehow better for privacy than... anything.

Use Cloudflare. Or, rent the cheapest machine you can with a public IP and use something like Rathole. I like Cloudflare because it’s fast and free, but they do MITM you.
