It's the filesystem filter drivers that slow things down, not the filesystem drivers (ie NTFS) themselves. Filter drivers sit a layer above the filesystem driver and allow you to h…

My (possibly uninformed) understanding at the time was that it was Docker, not solely filesystem performance. WSL1's file performance is pretty much as good as it gets on Windows, …

What wasn't immediately clear to me is that you're meant to set up Raspberry Pis with a Pi camera attached, and that serves as the camera device. This then provides E2E encryption …

It has been a long time since I've done this, but: If your Android is rooted, it's pretty easy to get tethering working. There's magisk modules that can fix the TTL problem and/or …

Agreed the website is poorly organized, but if you click About, you get that paragraph: https://tvheadend.org/p/about > Tvheadend is the leading TV streaming server and recorder fo…

For observers, this draft was posted to HN earlier but quickly flagged and removed because the linked "IPv8" draft is absolute bunk. See the removed thread for details: https://new…

There's no reason you have to run ESPHome on your Home Assistant server. It's offered as a HA a̵d̵d̵o̵n̵ app for ease of use (makes it a one-click install), but you can also just `…

> You can still install the whole kit and caboodle using pip in a Python virtual environment, but why would you? This is how I did it, instead of the container or HA OS in a VM. If…

Sure, but this article spends paragraphs talking about the (real) problems with TCP, then suggests that the solution is a UDP-based transport with WireGuard-ish crypto. …but there'…

The much more likely culprit is your VPN server's port. If it's running on some no-name port (such as the default 51820), that's likely to get throttled. I'd bet that switching you…

This is a clever reuse of WireGuard's cryptographic design, and may indeed make sense as a way to slap some low-overhead encryption on top of your app's existing UDP packets. Howev…

This is an… interesting choice for archival purposes. What exactly do you think makes HFS+'s reliability better? The only thing I can think of is that HFS+ has journaling while FAT…

It does really depend on how much data you want to store, but if you've got a lot of it… Tape. Obviously extreme prosumer, but for long-term archival of lots of data, LTO tape wins…

> Maybe the motherboard? Could that have a speaker built into it? That must be terrible for acoustics, but maybe useful for a little beep when something is wrong? Yes, it was calle…

Let's Encrypt has nothing to do with this problem (of Certificate Transparency logs leaking domain names). CA/B Forum policy requires every CA to publish every issued certificate i…

You already can stream bodies as they're generated with chunked encoding; trailers aren't really needed for that. Cookies might be useful, but I guess you could do document.cookie …

In addition to needing to be able to change your mind about the status code (which is really important), the latter simply won't work. Pretty much every HTTP middlebox (proxies, CD…

I think it's just you. The first paragraph is clear to me. There is a law that allows workers to sue employers. There's a group trying to repeal it. Presumably repeal benefits busi…

It's almost certainly the real estate taxes. In California, Prop 13 makes real estate tax effectively de minimis (especially if you bought a long time ago), and the higher income t…

Opened my editor this morning to be greeted by a notification being abused to show an advertisement for Prisma's paid services. I get it, money is no longer free and VCs want retur…

SF for 10 years In this reporter's humble opinion, it's wild how dissonant the narrative about this city is with the reality on the ground. If you ask our relatives who watch too m…
