   There are only packages for Debian, Ubuntu, and NetBSD. Not even include-everything Arch or Gentoo has ntttcp apparently.

   I work supporting, debugging, fixing the Linux network stack and drivers. I am amazed how little adoption this has seen. Like everything which came along and tried to supplant regular TCP, such as SCTP, it seems MPTCP has also been confined

   I had a turbo FC and beg to differ. A dyno graph of a stock car also begs to differ.

   I've also thought it would be nice if Linux's dirty page handling was more granular. But at the same time, whenever dirty pages are a concern it's usually one large file or one NFS mount or one USB device. The system otherwis

   It really isn't. Go and drive a 13BT car. They make almost all their torque by 2500rpm and the curve is flat. They're more torquey than any 4 cylinder I've driven.

   Reliability for rotaries hasn't been a concern for a long time. Modern apex seals work well and last a reasonably long time. There is a need to stop parroting facts from the 1980s.

    ThinkPad has this. My battery only charges to 75% and it must drop to 50% before it starts charging again. You can configure any value for either setting with TLP.

    Just the small amount of people using NFS suggests this tunable should remain the default. Nothing is stopping sysadmins tuning for their environment. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, which is why it's a tunable.

    I have many boxes of different cables and adaptors like this. Nice to know I'm not the only one who likes collecting them. My favourite addition in recent years is really long USB cables, like 5 metres, and HDMI 90 degree adaptors in e

    Because people complain their system is "slow" if it blocks on disk I/O. Another set of people also complain Linux takes too long to safely unplug USB drives.

    Hardware ring has nothing to do with "directly using the CPU", it controls what access level the program has. Forget virtualisation. Compile a userspace program which just adds numbers into a stack variable. That program is runnin

    Here I'm referring to assembly as mnemonic for machine code, but yes it would have been more correct to say machine code instead.

    Nor does mine. Userspace assembly runs directly on the CPU* executing in the unprivileged ring. When the userspace program makes a system call by calling a kernel entry function which is mapped into the process's address space by the d

    This is the reason I don't use Joplin either. Obsidian can handle an existing file structure. I use Vim and folder sync to Nextcloud.
