I am not surprised at all to see the W series Xeons with very high reliability. I know they tend to be pricier than AMD, and maybe not as fast, but I can't recall the last time I managed to kill an E3/E5/W series Xeon in the

This is honestly why if it didn't start life as an OEM (Dell, HP, Lenovo) part, I just buy Supermicro workstation boards, as they tend to use the better workstation chipsets, don't have any of the silly shit like RGB, and seem to

Oh no, it's almost indistinct from reddit. Maybe they were all just bots after all, and maybe I'm just feeding the machine even more posting here.

The suggested solution involves using the CGNAT /10 in conjunction with a VPN, but I've actually seen someone do this, and still have problems with certain end users where their next hop for routing also involves a router with an

The better question then is why the actual f** can an OTA firmware update touch anything in the steering or powertrain of the car, or why do I even need a computer that's connected to anything, and one which does more than just make su

Honestly at this point, I would be willing to pay $10-20 a month just for someone to maintain Xorg and xfree86. I really doubt I am the only one.

Yeah and water and gas are maybe a "lubricants" too. It's a pretty shitty lubricant.

I get that they're more efficient in some sense, but man the LED streetlights and other big lamps are so irritating and make things like like such ass compared to mercury vapor or even sodium lights.

How many times is this going to get shilled? It shows up at least once a month and the people associated with come in talking like it's almost trivial to "build a better sqlite" or that in essence SQLite3 is "deprecated.

This is why I keep buying 3B+ and Zero 2 W and not any of the newer versions...it's much more in keeping with the relatively low cost board with GPIO and reasonable compute. It's kind of the last one they made that does what I kin

Maybe I'm missing something, but the big players that I know ship and sell globally like Digikey, Newark and Arrow are all Adafruit distributors, and presumably that wouldn't change. Do you mean brick and mortar or something else?

Until the FCC wakes up and decides to change any detail of how they certify (which can happen easily), and then everything becomes no longer certified, and you'd basically have a full blanket ban of any transmitter, receiver, esc, moto

Reading through the notice from the FCC, it sure feels like they've also banned a lot of the critical components that go into line of sight RC airplanes. It really sucks, I kind of wonder if this won't crush the hobby and cause a

I have worked on several codebases where it was enforced that the commit be rebased off of whatever the main branch was, all units of work squashed to a single commit, and only "working" code be checked into the main branch. This

I mean Scala kind of does both (and then some). I'm not sure I would call it an OOP language, but you can sure write the same gross Java enterprise bloatware in Scala too if you want.

Wireguard is cool, but there's some reasons it's worth considering OpenVPN (why I still use OpenVPN anyways). First, OpenVPN has kernel mode now (called DCO, which I think Netgate maybe has upstreamed to FreeBSD); I've found

I've got i3 and i5 systems that do 15W or better idle, and I don't have to worry about the absolute clusterfuck of ARM hardware (and those systems used can be had for less and will probably long outlive mystery meat ARM SBCs).

The exception (even those are questionable as running plain Debian did not work right on Pi 3B and others when I tried recently) proves the rule. You have to look really hard to find an x86 computer where things don't just basically wo

Honestly if you're not invested in maybe Ruckus or Aruba, I don't think there's much better than OpenWRT on a decently supported AP. I had a bunch of the C7s with OpenWRT and they've been totally bulletproof. I only upgr
