Does the presence of troubleshooting information serve as a valid indication of widespread issues? 40+ years ago, it was very common for manufacturers of consumer electronics to have service manuals available for every model of everything,

My 6-year-old Samsung usually feels pretty quick, too, with its 8 CPU cores and 12GB of RAM. We used to do most of the same things (browse the web, send some email or texts, make phone calls, listen to music, watch videos) with hardware tha

Peaks don't last for weeks, but yes: Load must sometimes be shed. That happens today. It will happen tomorrow. It's imperfect. This imperfect nature doesn't mean that progress must cease, or that all things must be foreve

Sure. Shit happens. The system we have now is imperfect. The system we will have in 10 or 20 or 100 years surely will be imperfect, as well. We must not let perfect be the enemy of good: If we do, then we'll never get anything done

If demand upon infrastructure decreases, then the infrastructure itself can also decrease. We don't need to solve that problem in advance.

We can keep some of that coal-fired stuff around and use it periodically. It's OK. Winter happens every year. When the market needs that power, then the market will have to pay for it.

Yeah, probably. So is the Android phone that I bought for $64 that I take with me everywhere. My war is already lost. Reaping the spoils of assimilation is only natural.

Half is half. If we halve waste-heat generation for a practical widget enough times, then we won't need liquid cooling for that widget at all. If the trend continues and gets good enough, then maybe we can get all the way to a complet

A person who can justify spending $350 on an SBC can probably manage to shake enough change out of the sofa to buy an adapter to plug their widgets into it. But, sure: It's definitely even cheaper than that to just sit back and compla

Yep. You've got it right. BTC has been an ASIC game for a very long time. GPUs haven't been profitable there since the ASICs showed up a dozen or so years ago (with odd exceptions where power is "free"). Eth kept hitti

There's more than one Pi Zero 2 W -- one with headers, and one without. Are you looking at both? Headerless version is out-of-stock for my nearest Microcenter (Columbus, Ohio): https://www.microcenter.com/product/

Noises that are easy to identify also tend to be easy to eliminate. I wish I felt better about this idea, but it seems like it'll be very trivial to erase. (But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it!)

They are as you describe. Except zvols present as real-live block devices that can do block-device things instead of regular-file things, and that's important for some stuff. But AFAICT, iSCSI targets on Linux are not one of those thin

That's cool. As a reminder: Broadly speaking, RF-based TPMS systems on cars transmit their unique identities in the clear to anyone within earshot as part of how they work. (Not all use RF, but many do.) Also: The tires themselves f

Your method sounds like a good way to inject noise into the system -- and perhaps it is. Except the article describes integrating this MAC-sniffing business into ALPR camera installations. In this way: You drive by with your noisemaking-d
