    Tbh I am using /e/OS as my daily driver and I fully agree, it just works. Bonus points for the Nextcloud integration which I can tie to my self-hosted Nextcloud instance. I do not …

    My experience was good: on my way in Paris -> Brussels arrived 10min early, and on my way out Brussels -> Paris I had ~15min delay (apparently because Police had to board the train…

    I'm self-hosting for 17 years and counting. In my opinion, the pragmatic solution I use is: 1) use a specialized distribution (I use yunohost but there are others). This makes conf…

    Yep, AI scrapers have been breaking our open-source project gerrit instance hosted at Linux Network Foundation. Why this is the case while web-crawlers have been scrapping the web …

    Here is an example of preparing a debian ARM image on x86 with debootstrap, qemu and chroot: ~# sudo apt install qemu-user-static debootstrap ~# mkdir /tmp/arm ~# debootstrap --for…

    I still use my Thinkpad x61 as my daily driver (typing on it right now) and I don't feel most of the "severe limitations" you are listing. I think some are wrong (eg. I use Dual-ba…

    Atari ST serie was very popular in Europe, more popular than Mac or Amiga at the time I believe.

    In a similar vein, the "Confrérie des Charitables de Saint-Éloi" was founded in Béthune (France) in 1188 during a plague epidemy and is still active today. Edit: spelling

    VPP dev here. Yes, we had support for OpenSuse and RHEL/CentOS in the past, but distro support vanished. We're a small team so we need to focus (note: for OpenSuse it's still maint…

    VPP dev here. Our perf tests for Intel run in CSIT lab consistently shows a perf benefit of 10%-20% since Haswell I believe, so in our typical VPP deployment we usually map 2 VPP w…

    My guess is kernel needs to know the current directory of a process so that when said process tries to open a file without an absolute path (eg. just "file.txt" and not "/tmp/file.…

    Also, the claims they make in the paper is inaccurate relative to VPP: they claim VPP uses "overlay/convert" method, which is true for DPDK drivers, but we also maintain native dri…

    The approach is interesting but I'm afraid that the benchmarking is bogus, as it's usually the case is in this kind of papers. Part of the problem I think is that they have to comp…

    Most packets follows the same nodes in the graph. You have some divergence (eg. ARP packets vs IP packets to forward), but the bulk of the traffic does not. So typically the initia…

    Batching packets bring several benefits: - amortizing cache misses are you mentioned - better use of out-of-order, superscalar processors: by processing multiple independent packet…

    Not that surprising, given this was already extensively documented in the 2000's (so already widely known by then) with iSCSI and such, see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3385 f…

    I highly recommend yunohost. I am using it since a few years, after a lot of years of maintaining my own "classic" mail + web server by hand [1]. I deploy it in an unprivileged LXC…
