That was supposed to be solved by FileCoin, i.e. financial incentives to keep content alive.

Thanks a lot! VC money is unlikely the source for this kinda of industrial research and bumpy road to scalability. LCD/OLED panels got so cheap largely due to Korean/Japanese/Chinese government subsides. I doubt any of them w

Could you please tell a bit more about the volume-side of story? Somehow I feel that E-ink is at this weird point on the cost/volume curve because it is a fundamentally flawed display technology: monochrome or a couple of dull colors a

Both. It's just more flexible than two 1GbE NICs.

by riobard 5y ago
A single 2.5Gbps or 5Gbps NIC would be better IMHO.

There goes the performance advantage.

Well then how can you claim “most of you might need can be built atop a very performant base layer” without understanding what the grandparent comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28579704 ) says about WireGuard lac

Please let me know how to build an obfuscation layer on top of kernel-based WireGuard without sacrificing performance.
159.
by riobard 5y ago
This is when what makes WireGuard very performing also makes it very difficult to extend. Being in the kernel means extending it in userspace hurts its performance.

I really hope this works but the initial experience by The Register is worrying. Bluetooth peripheries suck in my environment: jumping mouse cursor and missing/lagging/repeating keystrokes. And the Mac's Bluetooth module occa

RAM disk is way faster and more reliable than SD cards. You can even remove the SD cards after boot.

Why are the NVMe drives on a separate island connected by extension cables? Are they thermal-constrained and have to be closer to the fans?

Not sure if the tone gets you downvoted but I can completely feel your rage… I thought the animation was intentionally there to keep you engaged and hide the fact that Time Machine restoring is super slow, especially over network.

Why mounting? Last time I tried there's no manual mounting procedure required.

Bummer! Guess TM/network should be better abandoned…

The Time Machine over NAS situation is very frustrating. It used to be over Apple's proprietary AFP protocol. With the exception of Apple's now-discontinued Time Capsule product line, all NAS implement AFP using the open-source Ne

I'm wondering about this for a long time and hope if any experts can explain this: is there any difference in append-only & small-sized log writing vs sequentially filling an SSD/USB flash drive/SD cards? I guess there ar

So every cell tower runs an NTP server?

True. All three major mobile carriers in mainland China have deployed Dual Stack. And the government is pushing for IPv6-only stack by 2030, with pilot starting as early as 2025.

Ignoring all the bad things about Microsoft Word, it really nails revision management for non-tech people. I've worked thru many legal contracts, collaborating with lawyers and other parties. I wish there'd be better alternatives,

It works mostly well (if the webpage is not trying to be too smart). There're Safari and Chrome extensions.

That was my impression as well but now I’m puzzled about why. Since most smartphones have GPS builtin why not get time from GPS?

Do smartphones get their time from GPS?

I'll recommend Elpass as a much, much better alternative. Completely native to Mac and iOS, and sync via iCloud. https://elpass.app

Better UX. System keychain UI is very primitive…

Actually I'd rather WireGuard adopt some obfuscation mechanisms, but as Jason stated it's a non-goal and the focus is to get WireGuard into mainstream OS kernels. So the only hope is to provide some obfuscation transport underneat

To be honest WireGuard over Shadowsocks is neither common nor recommended, coz essentially it's TCP-over-TCP which will wreak havoc on TCP congestion control. Unless you mean WireGuard over Shadowsocks UDP transport, but that is even l
