Are you expecting a public IPv4 from a VPN?

# Arch Linux (btw) yay -S glow Heh, nice take on the whole "I use Arch btw" meme. This is really cool.

I’m not sure, im no compiler programmer but I prefer not requiring an allocator like malloc and copying data and reference counting. But I don’t know.

Signals have some wierd properties; a process-directed signal (i.e. the usual one you’d send with kill) chooses an arbitrary thread and invokes the signal handler. You can get in t…

Its GLSL, and yes, you can pretty much copy paste it.

I had this issue in a case I think is interesting; a customer had a database with incremental IDs of a certain product they sold. On a web platform, the product owner in turn could…

Poettering makes some really valid points in this post; you shouldnt be using select. And the resource limits are weird. But I just want to consider that open fds are a resource ho…

epoll.

I'm not sure I buy the idea that "efficient and easy tooling around a technology makes the technology". We all went through the same Dreamweaver pains.

As a C programmer, I have definitely shot myself in the foot in the conversions between types on multiple occasions. This is a really welcome feature.

The reason why TimescaleDB is so fast relies really a simple concept; keep indexes small enough to keep in memory. If you have a small enough index, you only need to do 2 reads fro…

So in what way does tau do worse?

I few like there has been a lot of attempts at this; the semantic web, html5 semantic tags (article, header, ...), stuff like robots.txt. Developers really like to generalise. Gett…

Coming from embedded Linux programming, I gotta say sometimes (for easier problems) the overhead in altering the init and spinning up a gdbserver is too much; just pushing a few pr…

I can imagine that it’s hard to keep up to date with maintenance practices and manuals when the manuals are explicitly unavailable, as is the case for McDonalds.

Right. Data management is a hard problem. Just look at SQL query planners, they are insane - but they are not perfect, and they only work on the premises you provide (schemas, inde…

Did you read the OSL version of the same statement? It’s kind of beautiful in comparison. I think its an amazingly insightsful article. Like “clean code”, but it’s a license.

I bought it and skimmed through most of it, and I have a hard time recommending it personally. It’s really short on the crypto and offers no insight into why TLS behaves the way it…

Yeah, of course you can. It's just a freebsd with some configuration stuff on top, it can run hostap, switch, it can do lagg and span ports and all the other stuff you'd expect... …

Me too, but not really an alternative - the original tomato isn’t even updated any more, and it’s only configurable in its web ui, so it’s really only for home use.

Is pfSense, vyos, stuff like that out of fashion? Or too hard to maintain? Automating that stuff with ansible should solve the central management bit...

Late reply here but yes, canbus is binary, so is midi. They are both pretty simple. When I say that Protobuf is harder then canbus what I mean is that you have to deal with e.g. va…

Mathematica 9 and above has had significant improvements in its unit support. I’ve found it to be really good.
