Most MP3s were 128 kbps back then, so a song would typically be around 3-4 MB. Even at 3 kB per second a download would only take around 20 minutes.

Even Manifest V3 ad blockers are still a lot more powerful than DNS based blocking.

* A lack of fork() makes starting new processes slow. * All Python webservers that somewhat support multiprocessing on Windows disable the IOCP asyncio event loop when using more than one process (because it breaks in random ways), so you&#

> `multiprocessing` works fine for serving HTTP requests Not if you use Windows, then it's a mess. I have a suspicion that people who say that the multiprocessing works just fine never had to seriously use Python on Windows.

The main disadvantage with pure Restic is that you usually have to end up writing your own shell scripts for some configuration management because Restic itself has none of that. Fortunately there is https://github.com/creat

I moved away from Duplicacy to restic when restic finally implemented compression. Duplicacy is slower and also only free for personal use.

If you reject cheap renewable energy today because of some nuclear power pipe dream you're basically a lobbyist for fossil fuels, even if you don't know it. Because there is absolutely no reason not to assume that those new nuclea

Technically coal is also a closed loop of carbon because the CO2 once came from the atmosphere. Which brings us to the problem: The CO2 shouldn't be in the atmosphere right now : If you burn wood today and the CO2 gets removed again b

In 2012 the upgrade prices were also lower. When I bought my 2012 MacBook Air I paid 100 euros to upgrade from 4 to 8 GB of RAM. Wasn't cheap, but still kind of reasonable in 2012. Today it would cost me 230 euros to upgrade from 8 to
