From what I can read, this press release mentions that they have so far reached an agreement to work together on the project, and they are currently _planning_ on using a KSI block…

Could you name any projects that are based on a blockchain and which could not have been viable with any other technical solution, such as an SQL-based database like PostgreSQL?

> silent is better than quiet In most cases the beefiest air cooler + the lowest tolerable fan curve (meaning no overheating) will do the job just fine, especially if the CPU TDP i…

Fan cooling a Raspberry Pi 4 is such an odd thing to do. You are essentially taking one of the pros of the Pi - quiet and reliable operation - and replacing it with a moving part t…

I must point out that this does NOT cover ThinkPad T and X series. From the press release: > Our entire portfolio of ThinkStation and ThinkPad P Series workstations will now be cer…

Latest versions of dd support the argument "status=progress" for displaying the average write speed while running.

The available power budget and memory bandwidth will be the limiting factors for those new APU-s, just like for the current generation. Given the performance requirements that I ha…

Have you tried out ZFS? It's quite good at resolving failures and data corruption and can be configured in all sorts of combinations, depending on your performance and disk failure…

I have found myself with a similar issue. Haven't been in the industry for too long (been working for over 3 years), but the constant shitshow that is FE development is really taki…

I remember reading somewhere that nowadays a significant chunk of the instructions isn't actually implemented on the CPU using transistors, but by using CPU microcode to sort of em…

AMD has committed to supporting AM4 until 2020, but you still have a fantastic upgrade path to the 3950X 16C32T CPU and plenty of RAM.

Thunderbolt 3 based eGPU-s work very well on Windows-based machines, too.

You might be interested in this article which does mention valid points for choosing mirrored data instead of any RAIDZ levels in ZFS: https://jrs-s.net/2015/02/06/zfs-you-should-u…

Given enough writes, any SSD will eventually fail. As a related anecdote, I did some stress-testing on a ZFS filesystem with two Kingston NVMe SSD-s in mirrored configuration and a…

> WebKit and Blink are both open source Doesn't mean much since Google controls what features are planned, implemented and included in Chromium.

I also used btrfs not too long ago in RAID1. I had a disk failure and voila, the array would be read-only from now on and I would have to recreate it from scratch and copy data ove…

I remember there being issues with the keyboard swap with some buttons not working as expected, plus you have to tape some pins in order to avoid damaging the keyboard or the lapto…

Has anyone have any overview of how robust the security situation is? I attempted to setup Jellyfin behind an nginx proxy with basic auth enabled because I didn't know how trustwor…

Would like to mention Mehdi (ElectroBOOM) here as he seems to match the description, but with electricity and physics: https://www.youtube.com/user/msadaghd

I like to think about messages being ephemeral. If a piece of information needs to be saved, I just store it outside the messaging app. This includes media files, too.

For someone based outside the US it feels so odd that the delivery services just leave the packages outside the house. Why not address that particular issue head-on instead of depl…

There are websites which can and will manipulate the text you are copying. I am aware of at least one news site which will replace the copied article text with a short summary and …

I had this issue, but on Firefox and with Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin enabled. Some cookie seems to get blocked, leading to the infinite redirect loop. At least in this case I…

There exist magnetic charging cables that can help with the breakage issue you're having. The connector and charging cable are connected by two magnets and some pins, instead of br…

One use case where short TTL-s make sense is running a service on a residential network where a power outage or router reboot can trigger an IP address change. If the IP address ch…
