I'm also struggling to see the point of this. I put a name in the hosts file (or DNS) so I don't have to remember the IP. Now I have to remember the hostname (optional), the internal IP, this external domain, and the system needs

Still a ripoff. A Samsung 980 Pro 1T is AU$209. That's not an upgrade, that's the entire new device, double the size.

A little markup like this is not unusual, especially considering the USD-AUD exchange rate is weak and volatile. Plus the labour for someone to install the drive is not free. At least it's not the Apple markup. To go from 256G to 512G

Does Arm have a history of this? This strict litigation-heavy control over an architecture is what has put Intel in a bad place. It would be ironic if Arm played the same game and eventually lost to something else like RISC-V.

This isn't about tinkering with your own microwave, is a product someone is developing which uses Linux. Source: I was in the room for the original conference talk.

It does, because we could apparently reduce that 20k down to 6k, which lets us scale wind power up even more while looking after the planet even better. We need to reduce our negative impact on the earth as much as possible. So a simple act

I care about release notes for things I'm engaged with. I will read most lines of the RetroArch or ScummVM or glibc notes, I might even research further by playing with a feature or looking at the commits. For other stuff, no. I don&#x

The biggest irony is that Google added this right into the Play Store so you can see changes every time an app is updated, then their own apps are filled with the "bug fixes and performance improvements" platitude just like you sa

This is the answer I give people too. "But I won't work at FAANG anymore". Does that really bother you? Do you want to work at your big company always? If so, talk to your manager to move horizontally. But if you are staying

If I hated something that badly or had such security concerns about it, I'd drop it like a hot potato for a superior alternative. I just don't have time for that level of irritation or worry in my life.

Inspect all global variables in gdb. You get every variable defined in a linked library, pages and pages and pages of output with your own program's global's stuffed somewhere in the middle. Useless.

I make an effort to use a debugger first. Right now I'm writing some stuff which takes over the terminal and works in recursive loops (ncurses roguelike map generator) so print debugging is a hassle. It's actually quicker to use a

I got as far as "HyperThreading is insecure so disable it". There are some absurd recommendations on here (disable TCP SACK, use TCP BBR) and the weirdest of all is why anyone who hates FreeBSD security this much would still use t
