It isnt so much tinkering vs learning how it works. Part of the reason new users struggle so much is because they forget they have spent 10 years or whatever using windows / macos and linux is definitely not those. As much as Linux has

I personally think everyone should install arch once the manual way. It will give you a good idea how everything fits together. After that, just use EndeavourOS. I used Antergos before that and EndevourOS has been great since.

That is like how every ORM promises you can just swap out the storage layer. In practice it doesnt quite work out that way.

Honestly I did not know. I have had it installed so long I don't even remember when I did it. Ill look more into it and perhaps re-evaluate

I had forgotten I was running Ublock origin / Privacy Badger / Ghostry so I was a bit confused with the results from that site. I think it is Ghostry that is faking the responses but I still have a pretty unique fingerprint accord

Nope, second hand is already evaporating. 2 months ago there were a load of second gen xeon scalable servers on offer. Now every one of them has had the ram stripped out and its just the chassis on offer. Fabs are not wasting their time on

Ordered some servers 6 months ago ~12k USD per unit. Same order, same bill of materials, 17.5K USD per unit today. That is roughly a 5.5k increase for 768GB of DDR5 ECC memory and the 4 2tb nvme ssds.

Feels like I keep seeing "Duckdb in your postgres" posts here. Likely that is what you want.

It is pretty easy to see if cloudflare is proxying a site. Just ping the host and see if the ip belongs to CF. https://www.cloudflare.com/en-ca/ips/

Unfortunately the internet sucks in 2025. If you have a site with valuable content the LLM crawlers hound you to no end. CF is basically a protection racket at this point for many sites. It doesnt even stop the more determined ones but it k

The Kubernetes ecosystem has made me hate YAML so much. Maybe I am just not using the tooling correctly but anchors all over the place, templating, etc. I have yet to see a solution to that type of thing though as every config language exis

Maybe, but who is actually still buying tls certs from a vendor?

The main answer is a lot of the software on that page predates SSLs deprecation and people (sysadmins especially, because they wrote some bash script 20 years ago and want it to keep working) like backwards compatibility.

For sure. For a couple years Chrome was noticeably faster than IE/FF which is what caused tech oriented people to switch. FF and even IE closed the gap for a little bit but once Chromes dominance took old I imagine the fact that no one

They were losing because MS bundled IE with every device. Eventually they MS lost an anti trust case against it and it opened up the market, which is before that graph begins. Well 30 years later we are back where we started. Chrome is wher

While I find this data interesting it isnt usually very actionable. The skus with the lowest number immediately get bought out(if they are still available, which they are not always) and will never be available. You also always run the risk

Wired networking is faster than wireless, just not in the consumer space. Most data center networking is 10s of gigabits on the lower end. People are throwing out 10/40gb hardware at this point. There just isnt any pressure in the cons

by tempest_ 11mo ago
Unfortunately given the fact that RAM and SSD prices are going through the roof coupled with the fact that a CPU like that alone will be near 150-200 at retail this thing is going to likely cost more. The console makers have avoided these p

What do you mean some how? Most people can't or wont retrofit their homes with wired networking. Those that did in the last couple decades likely used cat5/e. The demand in the consumer space definitely favours advances in wifi.

From the outside looking in most of the push back against rust seems to be of the "I am too old, never make mistakes, and don't want to learn a new thing late in my career" variety. I have rarely seen an argument that pushes
