If you setup SMB right (TrueNAS configures this out of the box, SCALE is great if you need a Linux NAS), you can use Windows Shadow Copies to access ZFS snapshots and browse or restore file contents from them.

That's a population number. COVID alone accounts for 10^11 virus particles in a single human during peak infection, or about 10^19 in total. That is getting close to the 10^31 total. But to be precise about all viruses; A over-the-thum

Use short-lived IPv6 addresses then. IPv6 doesn't force everyone into one or the other. You can operate both short lived, anonymized and permanent IPv6 side-by-side in the same network.

I think personally, the biggest factor for using zstd is that compression settings don't matter for the decompression speed. Doesn't matter if I used zstd-fast or zstd-19 the read speed is the same. Hence a lot of linux distros ad

For the home tab to populate, you need to follow people. Mastodon doesn't push content you didn't ask for. I would recommend checking out the local and federated timelines and see what people are up to.

I would hazard a guess and say prefetching. SSDs have large blocks, so when you read 1, blocks 2-5 are maybe part of the block and loaded in anyway. Then the controller might also cache 6-10 for the heck of it. And 1000+ isn't, so it&#

KMS only means Kernel Mode Setting, it's a way for the kernel to handle display resolutions so it can set the proper resolution for a display during bootup and enables instant TTY switching. DRM is the direct rendering manager, it'

I think you misunderstood federation. It doesn't make all your data available everywhere, it means that all servers can talk and exchange some data. There is no reason for servers to hold much userdata outside of what other users have

No it doesn't. You merely have to show that you're willing to resolve conflicts peacefully first. Generally so far this has meant "don't be in any conflict", but nothing stops participants from agreeing that, for ex

Well, yes, if you want to migrate all your data to a new instance you need a copy of the old data. Mastodon does have a takeout option that lets you export followers and your tweets, which you can import into a new account. Though I honestl

Applications should account for it and measure it themselves, when an application chooses to wait (to persist writes, for example), then it's hard to argue the kernel should take that as load. A similar argument could otherwise be made

It is a clear privilege boundary, just not a barrier. Beyond UAC is Admin, before UAC is non-Admin. Crossing that divide requires a user interaction. UAC can be a barrier if it would display more about the programs intention. Similar sudo c

I still think that is a reasonable caveat; the process didn't get hung up waiting for IO because IO was exhausted when it issues the write, rather it got hung because it deliberately chose to wait for IO to be completed. That isn'

Yes, but async I/O means the process can continue doing other, potentially useful, work, while waiting for async I/O to complete. So if a process has issues an async I/O, it's not blocked or dead, like a process who issu

I'd say the main intention of UAC is to make sudo but without obvious vulnerabilities. The UAC dialog is wired deep into the system and you can't fake it. It takes priority over any UI stuff and won't accept input from a prog

It isn't, you can always brute force the symmetric key used for traffic if you wanted. The handshake itself can also in theory be brute forced if you know all input parameters except the input key.

You can still just append the AGPL to your own license text or append yours to the AGPL. In neither case the AGPL is modified, you're just adding other contract conditions. Just like in the real world it wouldn't matter if you use

That would cause havoc; specifically because other instances can forward your message. So the original message will always float around in retweets and replies. It'll probably be very visible.

But do you have to emerge the entirety of your system because you added a browser? Since that seems to be how Fuchsia's compile times are working.
