qemu used to use that technique, but as you note, it was pretty brittle. They switched to the more traditional TCG backend.

Seconded enthusiastically. That dam tour is amazing. Did it in 2007 or so. Expect potential weirdness though. My wife was wearing a (not particularly short) skirt, and the lady at …

I arguably owe a successful career in tech to my dad seeing a $99 deal on a TI-99 after they were discontinued in the mid 80's and buying it just because he had had a shortwave rec…

I've never understood why Intel didn't just soft-disable AVX512 on P-cores until the OS writes a value to some MSR that means "I understand that only some cores have AVX512". From …

I run kodi via OSMC on a Vera V. It comes with a dedicated remote (though it does support CEC), which solves #1, at the cost of having an extra remote. I mainly hit #2 when scrubbi…

Most of the Intel cache partitioning things were driven primarily by Google. The holy grail was to colocate latency-sensitive tasks with bulk background tasks to increase cluster u…

> How do these guys get the data in order and we dont? LAGs stripe traffic across links at the packet level, whereas QSFP/OSFP lanes do so at the bit level. Different sized packets…

DACs are usually twin-ax, which is just 2 coax cables bundled. The shielding matters a lot, compared to unshielded twisted pairs. Faster parallel DACs require more pairs of coax, a…

It has a client/server mode. I used to run the server on my wrt54g and the GUI client on my desktop.

There was this: https://www.servethehome.com/insane-48-port-2-5gbe-2x-25gbe-... But I have not been able to find a place to buy one.

A HRV or ERV, depending on how humid it is where you live will help immensely. Unfortunately hard to retrofit into existing construction.

This is really easy, just use Linux.

If the monitors are 3ft away from the musician, they're already looking at 3ms of latency just in the air between the monitor and their ear.

Thanks for the correction. I hadn't thought of 1bpp because it isn't interesting on VGA hardware. But you're absolutely right about 4bpp having been a thing.

320x200 at 256 colors. X doesn't support any depth lower than 8bit, so VGA 640x480 wouldn't work.

I'm on Debian stable, not OpenBSD, but SpamAssassin + razor + pyzor works really well. Roughly 1 spam per month, and 1-2 false positives a year. This is for an email address that h…

Apple's search is Google search. Google pays Apple $20 billion a year for that.

What? MacOS in 2000 was still old MacOS, with no compositing at all. The NeXT derived version of MacOS was still in beta, and I tried it back then, it was very rough. Even once OSX…
