So, devuan?

Windows has containers?

I'd argue that's more because the average person has no interest in installing a new OS, or even any idea what an OS is. Most people just keep the default. When the default is Linu…

Because latency matters when gaming in a way which doesn't matter with AI inference? Plus cloud gaming is always limited in range of games, there are restrictions on how you can us…

AFAIK it's not really possible to implement Everything in Linux because Everything relies on reading the entire file list at once from the NTFS metadata, allowing it to index at in…

It's incredibly obnoxious when people type "in my country" as if we're all supposed to just... know where they live. It's also incredibly common. Why do people do this?

Thank you for the correction, I did get that wrong. To be clear, there was no easy solution to get reliable, low latency DNS responses from my own resolver without breaking keepali…

Well that's the experience I had. Obviously caching was enabled (unbound), but most DNS keepalive times are so short as to be fairly useless for a single user. Even if a root serve…

Not a hardware issue, but a physics problem. I live in NZ. I guess the root servers are all in the US, so that's 130ms per trip minimum.

>Or just run a resolver yourself. I did this for a while, but ~300ms hangs on every DNS resolution sure do get old fast.

Um, so, how are Mozilla supposed to get the hundreds of millions of dollars a year it costs to pay engineers to maintain an evergreen browser without Google's funding?

>If I have users that use OpenAI through my API keys am I responsible? Yes. You are OpenAI's customer, and they expect you to follow their ToS. They do provide a moderation API to …

"Emulator" is the wrong word, but the answer is yes. The word you actually meant was "re-implementation" - writing a completely new, clean-room program which reads Source data file…

Then just turn it off. qBT isn't windows, it doesn't demand autoupdate. That said, you really shouldn't be running outdated torrent clients, like any network-connected programs. Ca…

Without a formal audit on a variety of BT clients, this isn't really an answerable question. Just because this one issue was discovered in qBT, doesn't mean that there are hundreds…

Qt isn't just a GUI toolkit - it's an everything toolkit. It's somewhat intended to be used (potentially) alone with C++ to allow the creation of a wide variety of apps. It include…

They're entirely manual. A whole bunch of volunteers write filter rules to block known ads. There's a big github where people can post issues about ads they've found, and volunteer…

I live in NZ, there's no standard here. It's damned annoying. I've heard that Facebook Messenger is the most popular, but I only know one person who uses it and I don't have an acc…

By default was missing from the sentence. You can do it with Whatsapp etc, but both you and the other party need to download a 3rd party app to do so.

Tragically, a large proportion of manga artists die early. The lifestyle of spending 12 hours a day bent over a desk, frantically drawing, stressing about deadlines, all contribute…

This sort of nitpicking really isn't appropriate for this time and place. It comes off as criticism of Dragon Ball for being aimed at boys, though I understand you did not actually…

No, it's just load management. They run a full matrix home server for all their users and a bunch of bridges.

I'm not sure I understand. Your relatives can remember to buy Apple but not Samsung? Also, Samsung offers lower end phones with lesser but still good update policies. They're good …

Just buy Samsung or pixel. 7 years of updates guaranteed.

The old terms lock you into the App Store, no?
