Sky's the limit. (Short of hiring a team of engineers to design and fab a one-off board, anyway). I appreciate your advice. I use the machine for a variety of different tasks, and am looking to accommodate at least two high-end GPU&#

Some builds I kept tabs on: Let's Encrypt documented their early 2021 whitebox that used 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes, mainly for storage: https://letsencrypt.org/2021/01/21/next-gen-database-servers... Troy Hunt

Can anyone recommend a specific, well-made, high-performance motherboard with loads of PCIe lanes and expansion slots, and sensible lane topology? All the motherboards these days make me feel claustrophobic. My current workstation is prett

Some clients perform some of those operations in a sandbox. Eg. Nine for Android let's you choose when you set up an account whether a remote wipe command should just wipe that account's local mailbox, or your whole device.

That sounds perfect, I wish it were available outside the US as well.

I noticed my local weather forecasts from Google search have gotten significantly less accurate these days. Like, they consistenly called for freezing seasonal overnight lows many weeks before it was remotely probable. You'd get bette

Indeed. Though these days, some prefer older Windows as the new ones are abjectly worse, along all the axes they care about.

The little puzzle the article opens with is fun, but solving it is not what I'd associate with an "aha" moment. To me it felt more like a brute force search, or like solving a Wordle puzzle. I consider "aha" more c

It's interesting that along another axis, the inertia of the internet moved from a decentralized structure back toward something that resembles mainframes. I don't think those axes are orthogonal.

I agree and think the ability to spin up new identities is crucial to any sort of successful reputation system (and reflects the realities of how both good and bad actors would use it). Think back to early internet when you wanted an ident

long-term solution How about a reputation system? Attached to IP address is easiest to grok, but wouldn't work well since addresses lack affinity. OK, so we introduce an identifier that's persistent, and maybe a user can even p

That's basically right. Back when I made this, many servers out there still limited you to just 2 (or sometimes even 1) concurrent connections. As sites became more media-heavy that number trended up. HTTP/2 can handle many con

Does it still leak your IP, e.g. if the page rendered by the site you're archiving includes it? You'd think they'd create a simple filter to redact that out.

it only manages one stream at a time I'll take flak for saying it, but I feel web developers are partially at fault for laziness on this one. I've often seen them trigger a swath of connections (e.g. for uncoordinated async eve

I should have clarified, by adaptable to locale I meant you have control via configuration. The developer can supply a default or even lock it down. E.g. Users of the last app I built incorporating it always expected M/D and the app o

All those date pickers that don't give you the ability to type a date in as plain text just plain suck. Airline websites are particularly awful for this. I made a C# datepicker a long time ago that allows both textual and gui input. A

Was hoping you could opt out by moving to Morroco, where local regulations bar digital boarding passes. But Ryanair still makes you get digital ones there, and have you redeem it for a physical one at the airport.
