I use it solely to give a webui for managing virtual machines on individual servers. It hooks into libvirt for this, so I can also manage them via virsh et al, but it's a nice tool…

A `cockpit doctor` style command that extra plugins like cockpit machines can extend. I've found that Cockpit Machines is really unreliable on Debian and it's nothing really to do …

I think it depends what you’re used to. LXC containers I see as more of a lightweight pseudo VM, whereas docker is more about truly ephemeral containers that you don’t maintain, bu…

On macOS, basically all of these are extra permissions that you have to grant to an application - you'll get prompted with a popup when they try to do it. eg: local network access,…

Several specific ones: - Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (joining the hallowed company of Russia and Belarus!) - leaving the World Health Organisation - get rid of …

Yes - Reform UK is a far right populist party. They currently have 5 out of 650 MPs and are steadily gaining popularity - similar to the rise of other parties like AfD across Europ…

That was very interesting reading, thanks!

Do Synology actually use the multi-device options of btrfs, or are they using linux softraid + lvm underneath? I know Synology Hybrid RAID is a clever use of LVM + MD raid, for exa…

I reliably come out of this with Inconsolata. It's not a bad font, but I do prefer SF Mono & Monaco - it would be nice if this showed them in the tree if they were installed.

I have an Intel NUC 8i5BEH that does this repeatedly. Pain in the backside. The best way to “fix” it that I found quickly is to unplug the NUC and short the power connector for a f…

The Pi5 is quite reasonable, and the Pi 500 by extension, but I just have two things that I wish they’d fix: I wish the NVMe port was populated. The Pi 5’s desktop performance feel…

This situation is a real mess when you being in international rights too - eg F1TV largely doesn’t operate in F1’s biggest markets as the rights to live broadcast are still owned b…

I’m not convinced either of them would even want to. AMD used to have fabs - they spun them off a long time ago as GlobalFoundries. They’re no longer competitive with TSMC, Samsung…

The video is fine, the title doesn’t mention m.2 at all :)

Worth noting - this is not a m.2 adapter, you couldn't use it to attach standard drives. This is an adapter for fitting proprietary flash cards with NAND on.

I'll add on to this too, as someone who largely agrees! I work for a company that has several mid-sized PHP projects. Some started life back with early PHP5 - eg 5.1. The biggest r…

They also make several alternative options, such as https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/meshify/meshif... or https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/torrent/torren.…

Do not buy Crazy Taxi from Steam. It has broken input (analogue controls are really digital without fan patches), and does not play the original audio.

Honestly, Windows 2000 UI with the right click menu on the start button from Windows 10 onwards would be a near perfect Windows UI for me! I know the 3D effects are considered date…

I would like to see 2.5GbE - that's getting pretty common on AMD/Intel machines now too. But afaik Apple love using Broadcom for 1G NICs, and I'm not sure they have a 2.5GbE chipse…

Not really. Most games are still released for Windows + x86 (AMD/Intel). Proton on Linux works wonders on AMD/Intel CPUs, but your best bet is still Windows.

Exactly. The 2016-2018 models were the low point, but Apple has listened and has improved since then. The 2019 16” was a step in the right direction. More ports, better cooling, be…

$100 for the 10GbE upgrade doesn't seem unreasonable to me. A PCIe 10GbE NIC using the same Aquantia chipset as existing Macs is $80-$90. https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-XG-C100C-Netwo…

There's still an awful lot of Mac around. It's very common in networking, sysadmin/devops, and web development in the UK, for instance. I go to a reasonable number of industry even…

I'm not sure I could do this - I think it would do horrible things to my neck! But I am curious: Do you run that at 3840x2160 without high-dpi support? How do you find text clarity…
