Container, not VM. Containers are relatively lightweight compared to VMs (definitely not "another whole computer"), and they share the Linux kernel with the host.

Looks like the numbers I was looking at were for the high-power configuration, and differed a little between sources, nontheless the low-power configuration, which has a significantly lower TDP (23W) than the M3 Pro (~30W), while having the

I really do not understand this take and have to assume people who say this have not deeply used PHP. It has a large variety of bizzare language features that make JavaScript look downright well-designed. Examples off the top of my head: *

That is not how an RCD works. It doesn't even look at ground. An RCD will trip when the difference between the current going down the live and neutral conductors exceeds a certain value -- in normal operation they are opposite and canc

Agree about avoiding high quantities of oxalate, but the point of taking calcium is so that the binding occurs in the gut where it can be excreted, rather than the kidneys.
