Does anyone understand why RPi decided to make this China only?

I'm actually glad to read about a parent taking responsibility. There's nothing important about Tiktok that won't wait until the child is 16/18.

If it happens, Arm will have only themselves to blame. Suing your own customers is not the smartest move.

SiFive have apparently been shopping themselves around for a while. But they've been around for a long time, taken loads of investment, had a huge number of employees at one point (not now), and don't have very competitive produc

You can record yourself speaking about some topic. The barrier to entry to making a video online these days is very very low.

How is this different from Apache Qpid or RabbitMQ or IBM MQ (at least the first and third of those is already owned by IBM!)

Two things can be true at the same time - we don't want Russia to absorb Ukraine and then further threaten the eastern border of the EU, and we don't want Ukraine to be corrupt.

How much you are paid is based on your power over the organization, which is why useless senior executives are paid far more than everyone else.

I think the only bit that surprises me is they don't have a back door into Facebook.

Tim Patterson certainly copied it from CP/M and may not have been aware of anything predating it, but according to Wikipedia drive letters have quite a long history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_letter_assig

I'm betting there's some badly written AV software out there which will crash on non-standard drive letters, allowing at least a bit of mayhem.

Are Linux /dev device paths (originating from Unix) really much better? They're a pretty odd feature if you think about it. "Everything is a file", except only certain things can be files and at least by convention the

This is an interesting reference about how drive letters are stored in the Windows Registry: http://www.goodells.net/multiboot/partsigs.shtml I never tried, but I wonder if you could use direct registry editing to crea

Not putting polystyrene foam around the windows would be a more practical thing. The article even says in the first paragraph that fire regulations are important.

You're blaming the end users. Most end users aren't aware of this stuff, and even if they are, have no practical way to evaluate quality in the way you've described. Even I, as a very technical person, could not evaluate if

VMs might not have a network connection at all, or (in a more normal secure configuration) have all their network traffic trunked onto a VLAN that avoids touching the host. Vsock is designed so it can only be used for traffic between the h

by rwmj 11mo ago
vsock isn't a replacement for TCP, because you can't assume that IP exists or is routable / not firewalled between the guest and the host. Having said that, yes it also really ought to be faster. It's a decent, modern p

Not a typo & yes quite likely. I haven't tuned nbd/vsock at all. Edit: I patched both ends to change SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF from the default (both 212992) to 4194304, and that made no difference.

by rwmj 11mo ago
It's actually copying the data. Splicing wouldn't be possible (maybe?), since NBD is a client/server protocol. The difference between nbdcopy ... /dev/null and nbdcopy ... null: is that in the second case we avoid

vsock is pretty widely used, and if you're using virtio-vsock it should be reasonably fast. Anyway if you want to do some quick benchmarks and have an existing Linux VM on a libvirt host: (1) 'virsh edit' the guest and check
