Companies like Red Hat/IBM operate in Illinois and for better or worse have controlling interests in Linux and across open source projects pretty broadly. Wouldn't they be forced t…

Actually, someone walking around with a detector and us localizing in real time is what the current state is. There's been a lot of development since this dissertation to let it ru…

University server seems to be acting up a little bit, I think they just migrated to a new platform but this is the link: https://repository.lib.ncsu.edu/items/451b001d-e63a-4968-86…

This incident inspired my PhD dissertation on radiation source search. The techniques to search for sources like this are remarkably primitive, even today. My company works on this…

And they got that position of dominance more via shady deals and sketchy practices than by producing excellent software. Microsoft has done some good engineering, but that's not wh…

A complication is that AUR doesn't publish packages , it's more like FreeBSD ports in that they are the build scripts for packages and the user builds the package on their local ma…

https://dnschecker.org/ip-blacklist-checker.php is pretty handy for checking if you're on any of the major blocklists.

There's really two ways, the other is to manage your own CA. But it seems like every browser/piece of software/etc out there is hell bent on making that as difficult as possible. I…

Pfsense or OPNsense can handle ~5 gbps routing/firewall on a low power AMD or Intel embedded chip. My now old Pfsense box I got off Aliexpress can comfortably handle 2.5 gbps on an…

Damnnnnn that's cool but ouch. I know you're really buying the whole platform and capability and flight-worthy certification but $2K for what is basically a wifi dongle still makes…

It was still small enough to be relevant but yes. The level of integration Valve can do with the steam box probably actually lowers the total cost for them a bit versus just compar…

Linus Tech Tips did a video a few days ago where they built a DIY Steam box for the same price. What they came up with was a decent improvement on the GPU but not a massive upgrade…

To be fair, "boffin" usually implies someone has relevant (usually scientific) expertise, but nerd doesn't. Henry Legg has the relevant credentials to give weight to his claims, he…

Never went away, Linux is now the primary target platform for OpenZFS (which is basically synonymous with ZFS these days). TrueNAS/iXSystems (probably the main commercial company u…

I've bought a good bit of 10Gtek stuff over the years. Not sure to what extent they actually are designing their products vs. just acting as a reseller (I think the latter), but ei…

Oh man, tasks isn't compatible yet? Thanks for mentioning that, I guess I'll wait a bit to upgrade.

This also got me on my partner's Macbook. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why I could access my local services on (Safari? I forget which one actually worked) but not on…

The specs are underwhelming, but I could see the value to a beginner being in the software that accompanies it tightly integrated with parts kits and instructions. I'd honestly pre…

Yeah, I certainly have my complaints about systemd but the parent's point is undermined by the fact that cron still works . If you prefer it, carry on I doubt seriously it's going …

Yeah, one of my bigger complaints especially on the Nano was the GPU only had really limited model support (iirc, mostly tflite but maybe I'm misremembering) and it sounds like the…

Nvidia's software platform for the whole Jetson series was, at least in my experience, absolutely awful on the Jetson Nano and Orin boards I worked on. Has that improved at all? I …

Rocky's docs are also really nice. They aren't as thorough as RedHat's, but they're much more readable and concise, and tend to be written for a less enterprise-y audience.

I agree, it's far from pointless. The 538 model is arguably close to the best you can do considering how difficult the task is, but it's important to understand it as purely a refl…
