The running gag of mobile internet in Germany is EU-roaming (no-charge use of you cellular internet service abroad in the EU): I can travel the 1-4 hours to any neighboring countri…

Have you had a look at rclone? Pretty sure you can copy or even sync files from one remote storage to another. E.g. copy from S3 to B2. https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_sync/

I like https://www.urbackup.org for Windows boxes. Does incremental file and image backups. Next system for the Linux world will most likely be https://restic.net with a rclone bac…

One data point: LTE gives me 65-90ms ping RTT in reasonable non-crowded indoor conditions. Subjectively, working interactively via LTE is totally fine for me. Compare that to UMTS …

Came to Ctrl-F for Skynet. Was not disappointed. This seems to be a classic situation of reasonable strategic action with problematic potential of stepping over the fine line to au…

And me. I also still laugh about all the silly jokes in Sam'n'Max and You don't know Jack.

Yep, Miele. Washing ~5 loads/week an a 27 year old machine. Replaced main water valve ~5 years ago (20€ part). Resoldered one relais PCB ~10 years ago (instructions on the internet…

(Way) back when I was working with OpenEmbedded/Ångström I dreamt up sth like this: make uboot/whatever set up a HW watchdog that is retriggered once from kernel mode and then in t…

Interesting! How did you go about falling back to an older version if the update was bad? Is there a nice way to do this automatically? Say I update to a really botched version wit…

FreeMind on Mac and Windows. Open-source software. Topics (SW-dev, Ops, Processes) nicely form a foldable tree. Storage is cleartext readable XML. Nodes take formatted richtext if …

Remembering the start of it and seeing the US pressuring enough to alter Galileo to be US-blockable[1] makes me feel old. Really excited though to see it finally getting usable. [1…

At my daughter's school, they had that project week, too. Easily the most important experience in grade school IMO. They put the liquid inside a tube with a non-return valve. Also,…

That, and tuning the covariance matrices can be tough and time-consuming.

Got a price slightly above that in EUR. A cluster of 1 to 5 nodes should go for ~24.000€ (customer would've been SMB non-IT enduser company). My gut reaction was: Insane. They do i…

It is my understanding that your reply is the reasonable state of affairs. Do you have some "canonical", go-to link that makes your claim approachable to ordinary people? Say paren…

Developers routinely rely on this fragmentation for more options in the feature set vs. price product space. Such a merger will most certainly lead to some edge case configurations…

That both suprises me, do you have any sources? Honest question, both seem counterintuitive. Maybe I am actually fed enough "feelgood" information in the past.

> Europe was really led astray when they were told that diesels were better for the environment Were we led astray? Or are we discussing the last few percentages beyond an actual a…

The most ironic thing I've seen in a while: Their homepage features icons of services they monitor. Many of them 503-fail - they are hosted on cloudfront.

I find it so painful to see people rediscovering the same problems again and again. Not that I blame anyone individually, yet it holds us all back. Way back then, when your online …

Signed messages give you a much easier way to weed out "unknown" sender accounts (=keys). Encryption with signing makes it easier to recognize legit email. You need to go back to d…

Just another opinion: I find that attitude very healthy. As a society, you can have a general policy of not locking doors. Will work basically the same as a society with generally …

That is not uncommon at all and not unsafe if done right. Hard realtime systems are there for exactly that reason. Since you need to dimension everything to worst case scenarios, g…

There is the concept of pruning in the original paper[1] which basically removes all fully-spent transaction trails. That does not yield a reasonable upper bound on the size though…

A simple readonly RFID tag - agreed. But think "smartcard with wireless power transmission" like [1]. These should be able to ensure cryptographically secure communication and iden…
