    I’m currently in a trip in the south of Brazil, and I can’t open the 2600.com website since I’ve been here. I’m not sure if it is some kind of government filter or just 2600’s fire…

    Honest question here about jails. I like docker because the tooling makes it super easy to get anything running in no time. How is jails tooling? Let’s say I need to get an app run…

    I wonder if it would be possible to run MiSTer emulators on it.

    Taking the thinkpad apart is part of flashing the bios, which usually is just clipping an SOIC8 clip to the bios chip and using CH341a SPI usb programmer to flash it. I did the sam…

    how come it always be an incentive to miners when the price is not profitable anymore?

    that’s great! I’ve been a long time Fedora user but last year I decided to try NixOS and I couldn’t be more surprised, everything works well and it was easy to install and learn. I…

    Ever since I heard about AdGuard Home I never looked back. I have a raspberry pi 4 serving all dns requests from every electronic at my house for 215 days of uptime now without any…

    But at the same time software got slower and slower to the point that every processor upgrade just feels the same as the previous one. Sure there are some speedups, but I feel soft…

    That’s an impressive amount of progress already. Congrats on the work. I’m waiting apple’s next silicon to jump to arm, and hopefully by then I’m going to be able to run linux on i…

    I went through the same issues 6 years ago, had to create the entire billing system from scratch, and there are so many corner cases I had to deal with, specially with plan changes…

    You can always add a usb numpad, but you can never remove one that is already there.

    You put nothing, why do you assume if there is space it needs to be more keys in there? I bet they can even improve the structural rigidity by not having the numpad.

    Yes! If someone from system76 is listening to this thread, please, make a version without the numpad! That would be the case for me to buy one of these, but with a numpad it is a n…

    They have my attention here. As a long time thinkpad x220 user and tons of mods and upgrades in it I like the repairability approach. As a linux user I would prefer if they had an …

    Because CentOS on enterprise hardware is way more stable than Debian. I've worked for 6 years as a sysadmin for 300+ servers and we migrated everything from Debian to CentOS and ou…

    I tried to prepare for preorder at Apple Store App like they direct, but I couldn't find a way to finish the process because it won't show the sim-free option (I'm on google fi). A…

    Honest question: why these gpu drivers need some many lines of code? Anybody with more background can explain?

    Honest question, why did this take so long? Is this feature technically too difficult to implement?

    For a desktop use, openbsd feels super sluggish compared to the same hardware running linux. I love the way things are configured in openbsd, it is very straightforward. But the fa…

    This sounds too good to be true. Suppose they deliver this with the scale to be used any place, we could see a truly wireless world, even the tv could come with a battery that woul…

    I'm a fedora and thinkpad user for 8+ years now, I would love to see Lenovo consider selling this machine (or any 15+ inches) without the numpad and with a centered touchpad.

    If you want stability on bare metal servers without having to pay the RedHat license then CentOS is the way to go. I've using to work with lots of bare metal servers and we used to…
