I'm British and I have never personally pronounced it "istoric", and to my knowledge I have never heard anyone pronounce it like that either. Is it a regional thing? I can only recall it being pronounced like that in US TV sh

It's a bit more expensive than most options but the price does vary by how much of your data is duplicated. At the mo I have 1TB of data being backed up but it squashes down to under 550GB with borg. Monthly price for me is about $17 (

I use borg (attic fork) backing up to rsync.net for my home server. All my machines back up locally to that machine (mostly using SyncThing), then it backs itself up every hour or so. It's not perfect but it does work really rather wel

I'm surprised not to see any mention of Clementine ( https://www.clementine-player.org/ ) here. I switched over to it last year and it's lovely. The interface is nothing special but it's quick and efficient, an

It actually runs inside Docker, on a Linux system, as I've been deploying it using Resin.io for our test units. Annoyingly I've had a couple of units crap out on me, might be a bug in an older ResinOS image that has since been res

I've written a prototype bit of software in Rust to run on a fleet of Raspberry Pi units. So far it seems impeccably reliable, which is nice, but cross-compiling it was not the most fun I've ever had programming. As the tooling im

In the UK we almost lost our largest remaining bookstore chain, however they've performed a pretty miraculous turnaround. I'm sure I read a better article in the past than this: https://www.theguardian.com/books&#x

Aah yeah that might have helped. I hadn't been setting my memory requirements as I didn't technically know what they were :D That's good to know for next time!

I've been playing with kubernetes for the past month and I'm just now deciding not to go with it for our new production systems, mostly because I just don't understand it well enough to know how to fix it if it goes wrong. Th

Haha, there's certainly a bit of that going on. For quite a long time a lot of events were written down and communicated via Broadside Ballads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadside_(music) . Broadside Ballads of

There's a folk song about Moreton Bay that details some of the horrible things Logan did. Here's a pretty recent rendition by a couple of British folk musicians (apologies to any Australians who know of good Aussie versions): htt

I want out but I'm not sure my partner will leave. Every day living here makes me more depressed and anxious. And I worry that we'll leave it too long and stand no chance of moving to an EU country.

I got incredibly annoyed with people denouncing me in Civ 5, to the point where I would invade and completely wipe out their nation just because they wouldn't stop whining about me (looking at you, Austria). The only problem I have wit

I generally find Chaucer easier to understand than Shakespeare. Not sure if I'm alone in that.

I've lived in South Wales for quite a long time and the impact of Thatcher closing the mines is something that's very hard to understand until you spend time in these areas. They're still affected by those changes today, over

In the recent AMD AMA thread on Reddit there was a highly upvoted comment asking AMD to look into working with the Coreboot/Libreboot community to improve the PSP situation. It's nothing solid but the AMD guys did answer and say t

After having a look at some of the links posted, it looks like the power draw is slightly higher than the i7 7700k in most tests, although lower in some. Looks like my assumption based on the TDP was a bit off (also my misapprehension that

by robotmay 10y ago
I haven't found one yet, but as the chip is rated at 65W and the i7 7700k at 91W, it's pretty likely to draw less (at load anyway). I'd be curious to see what they draw whilst idle though.

by robotmay 10y ago
The 1700 is really well placed, often seems to beat the i7 7700k in benchmarks whilst drawing less power and costing roughly the same/cheaper. Probably even better value if the stock coolers are as solid as they sound. Definitely going

That company has sprung up so fast and yet I still don't really understand what it is. They're all over Cardiff, and from what I can tell it's just a generic delivery service for restaurants that don't want to hire their

Their UniFi stuff runs on 24v PoE, rather than the standard 48v, so it requires either one of their switches or a compatible injector. Their cameras, oddly, do support standard PoE, however.

Probably not that much, to be honest. Most people here in the UK neither know nor care about him. Which is a real tragedy, but people just don't understand the technology side of it, and probably don't care anyway as they think it

I'm not sure of the prevalence in the US, but does this support chip + pin transactions? They're the standard in the UK now, and I suspect it's a little harder to mess around with than the magnetic strip.
