Fusion Radiation is only immediate, ie, only in the area where the reactor is. And it can be contained with comparatively little effort, even put to use to breed Tritium for more Fusion fuel. If a Fusion reactor blows up, the radiation risk

Most likely, but you'll need to find a 23GHz receiver with an insanely low SNR and a very good dish to receive properly.

Lagrange Points can offer deployment in the shadow, or by using orbits with long times spent in the shadow while being sun synchronous.

Yes, but it's hardly surprising that criminal investigations tend to evaporate some privacy standards very quickly. ProtonMail doesn't want to get hit by the stick too. And before anyone suggests that PM should have been more &quo

People should if they are interested in performance. I log about 1TB/day of metrics data for the applications I'm responsible for and developed a mantra for it; It's better to have a shitton of metrics logging and not need th

You can monitor swap usage; in htop you can turn on the SWAP, PERCENT_SWAP_DELAY and M_SWAP columns, telling you exactly how much of a process is in swap, how large that is and the delay the process experiences due to swap. You can also mon

As someone who has servers with swap on NVMe; it barely matters. Sustained swap thrashing is a bad scenario no matter how you put it and it'll just tank performance. Get more RAM. SWAP I/O should never have any sustained backgroun

An AMD Epyc can have 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes, each 8GB/s, meaning it tops out at a measely 1TB/s of total bandwidth. And you can in fact saturate that with the bigger Epycs. However, You will probably loose 4 lanes to your chipset and

DMSMR is an issue yes, but CMR disks already do it and it's not as much of an issue as you think. On a CMR this is entirely fine. The issue with SMR is that because a write can have insane latencies, normal access gets problems. CMR do

A modern NVMe on PCIe 4.0 can deliver up to 5GB/s, which is only 4 times slower. You can get faster by using RAIDs and I believe some enterprise class stuff can get a bit faster still at the expense of disk space. PCIe 4.0 would top ou

In 99% of connections, a certificate error should be connection failure. In the 1% where it's the sysadmin forgetting to renew or a dev using a self-signed cert, you can still bypass.

Some modern disks, depending on firmware and applications, do in fact do a lot of remapping; they have wear leveling enabled, generally aimed at shoveling data such that the head tends to move less and give you better latencies. Wouldn&#x27

Generally, in terms of transfer speed, NVMe is damn close. The latencies is where that hits you because NVMe hasn't nearly as short latencies and doesn't have latency guarantees about the 99th percentile. If your ops aren't l

Well, with modern NVMe and SSD, the "where on the disk is my swap file" begins to matter less. Even at my workplace, any VM needing swap has it's OS disk put on NVMe/SSD, simply because having the user even think a secon

New users could gain artificial karma that slowly decays over time, pushing them to the top 10% of comments for some time to collect karma. The local votes in a comment thread should also weigh more than the karma a user has, only negative

If it worked before the date, it'll keep working after unless there was some other reason for it to be added (an API shutdown deadline for example) which prevents it from working anyway.

Well, probably ask your brother again, because All Engines Out is required for a pilots license in the US and most other countries. Even Helicopter pilots have to train in the simulator for engine failure (autorotation landing). It must com

The body is metadata too? It might be encrypted as well, making that effort less effective.

PM mails are encrypted with PGP at rest, as is metadata. The police can request to log incoming and outgoing mail metadata if available but not retroactively.

Brute Forcing a commit hash requires no gibberish binary files with random names, the data can be inserted into the commit metadata in ways that won't even show up in your git log. Forcing the entire commit hash is hard but by default

For 1-2, the todo panic stacktrace should tell you exactly what went wrong. For 3-4 you can set TODO_OR_DIE_SKIP, as documented for the crate, to disable all the todo checks at compile time. 5 is getting better over time.

Then just fake the first and last characters, not much of an additional challenge, few people compare all characters, they compare the first and last few. I bet that would have even caught you unaware in some moments.

Except git uses sha1 for those. Additionally unless you verify the ENTIRE hash not just 6 characters, it's trivial to brute force specific hashes into git. I myself have committed with a hash of 0000000 into a git repository twice, m

For comparison, Fugger's net worth today at the peak would have been 400 billion $. Not revenue, net worth. Also keep in mind that revenue is not market value nor is it wealth/net worth.

That's not what I meant though? The GDPR, as you clearly laid out, applies to you if you do business on EU territory, regardless of where you are. The Korean Regulation can similarly apply if you're physically operating in Korea o
