Truly loved it. Hated that Microsoft killed it.

From what I can deduce from the release notes and the linked documentation, it can still be enabled? And it relates to Windows and Linux only, and using the TPM. My guess is that u…

Inside the pods it makes no sense, but I do enable it on some memory-constrained worker nodes. Note that the kubelet by default refuses to start if the machine has any swap at all.…

Getting it from source is as easy as `go install github.com/minio/minio@latest` if you have a recent Go. In addition your favorite Linux distribution probably has it as from-source…

I wrote this guy a few years back. It's lock free for both consumers and producers. Blocking variants are also available, but with significantly poorer performance. https://github.…

Ah, DigiCash! I was really optimistic on this concept in my student days - one local bank even had a PoC with digital cash.

This is exactly how the physical representation of money works as well. The central bank controls how many bills are in circulation, and the central bank regularly expires old bill…

Yeah, I know of one example where idea was actually created and pitched to media outlets. They did not like the idea. They very much more like the idea of owning the customer and k…

Wow. Betcha keyboards with the Official Copilot key®™© will cost plenty of extra.

When you're paying for RHEL you're not paying for the software that you are installing. All of that can be downloaded. You are paying for: - A reproducible target. You know EXACTLY…

In https://www.kermitproject.org/newsn5.html I found this lovely quote: > "Kermit will send data over a communication channel that is only slightly better than a pair of tin cans c…

From https://docs.ntpsec.org/latest/warp.html : > The NTP protocol will synchronize correctly, regardless of era, as long as the system clock is set initially within 68 years (a ha…

Hardly. - Both Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X use x86 processors. - MacBook market share is around 10%, so the majority of new laptops are still x86. - The majority of cloud compu…

Primarily cloud storage. But also Windows 10 backup pointing to a VMDK on the C: drive for recovering from blunders. Oh, and tarsnap for the really important stuff.

I've got a Pebble color that still works thanks to rebble.io. For me it's got the best balance between features and simplicity. Any more features and the battery (life or size) wou…

Our setup runs Jenkins master and slaves as Kubernetes pods, with plugins limited to only the very few required to get GitHub integration and slaves working. Jobs are configured by…

Plots. Pulling performance numbers from log files, simple statistics, curve fitting and moving averages. Even from JSON or XML.

Love the tomato analogy - exactly why you need to convert energy, even with the efficiency loss.

Most counterarguments related to Hydrogen refer to the poor efficiency of converting (electric) energy to Hydrogen and back. True, directly using that electric energy from wind or …

VSCode for most of the editing work, jumping to Sublime for very large files and IntelliJ for Java work. Git for Windows, and SourceTree for all serious Git work except interactive…

Is it actually possible to have a comfortable life in the US of A without a family lawyer?

Awesome. Hidden in the preferences is also the possibility to remove pictures completely!

EVs are currently more expensive than fossil counterparts, but that is projected to change in time as economies of scale start influencing the manufacturing costs. Service and oper…
