Technically, Big Ben is the bell, not the clock, from the article as well: > A common misconception is referring to the entire tower as Big Ben, when in fact, that's just the name of the bell. Andrew clarified: "So it's Th

Don't know if/how this works in the US, but the EU emergency number can always be called without a simcard/subscription, so no need to swap simcards. (And sometimes even from a locked phone)

Top on linux shows kernel threads (all the processes in square brackets), on BSD it doesn't show these afaik. A fresh debian install only lists a handfull of processes (all the expected ones, ssh, systemd, ntp, gettys etc) besides the

As someone who logs into hundreds of servers in various networks, from various customers/clients, there is so little value in using custom tooling, as they will not be available on 90% of the systems. I have a very limited set of addit

The reduction in warranty from 5 years to 1 when buying these doesn't weigh up to the quite limited reduction in price. This would only cover failures during the first few months of runtime, and while most drive-failures will be in the

I've setup a few podman machines (on debian), and generally liked it. I've been struggling for 2 days now to get a k8s server up, but that's not giving my any joy. (It doesn't like our nftables setup)

Most banks here (nl) give you a dumb coincell battery powered code-calculator, either with or without smartcard access to your banking-card. Basically some form of TOTP or challenge-response system. Those devices have no network, no connect

I'm not paying for 64TB of NVME... 4x16TB HDD's and 2 2TB NVME's for caching are more then enough ;)

The only NAS (or other appliance boxes) I will tolerate are just plain 'generic' PC's with a regular Linux distro on them (Debian in my preferred case).

It's also _by_far_ the cheapest, and most git-work can be done offline, so while it's inconvenient, it's not stopping all operations here.

Can confirm, also have 2 IODD devices for this purpose, though I usually grab my (simplest) USB stick that has netboot.xyz flashed to it, and just boot off that, and select whatever netboot image I want and have it get everything from the i

Well... then it's always been possible, if you use LVM and create a snapshot before upgrading, then you can revert your snapshot in case it breaks. But this isn't something that would be 'out of the box'... but that&#x27

On desktop you can at least change it at runtime (like auto-dubbing), but on mobile they have made this completely impossible. I keep running into (originally) german video's that have been auto-translated to english for me, which I re

I've been using this a lot (when testing), but I wish firefox/mozilla had something equivalent, because with HSTS domains, it's hard to bypass cert issues in firefox.

Now you just need to find a drive that still works in 40 years, and can connect to a computer you have in 40 years. LTO drives will only read media from 1 generation off the specified version (LTO 9 will read LTO 8 tapes, not LTO-7) So you
