I made a web-extension to add PassMark benchmark results to processors and mainboards with embedded CPUs to allow you to compare the best price per performance: https://addons.mozi…

I suffer from borderline personality disorder and it's rough but usually treatable with lots of therapy and learning of "skills." The covid crisis made my issues boil over to the p…

If I made a facemask with that printed on it (as a QR code or whatever) would google stop trying to identify my face? Or would that paint a huge red target on my face?

OpenWRT is awesome. Though I have my own story of woe: they switched a very specific WiFi driver implementation to another one which completely broke my 5GHz wifi, it leaked kernel…

(meme) I figured out why the google outage took a while to recover: https://i.imgur.com/hzcLx5X.png

Personally, I've only ever had issues with Ubuntu Server and have since switched back to Debian. I don't know if I'm extremely unlucky or if the choices I make are really that bad;…

I wrote a lightweight DNS proxy for this purpose in python+twisted and sqlite3: https://gitlab.com/Sharky/blocklist2bind/blob/master/twisted... which also works really well on a Ra…

The next default compressor might be lrzip [1] by Con Kolivas; I've only see it a couple of times in the wild so far but for certain files it can increase the compression ratio qui…

A shame, but understandable. :)

> Available to all G Suite editions Sounds like only to G-Suit customers, maybe they expand to everyone at a later date. I just checked my free (grandfathered) GSuite account and t…

I had not heard of this, I'll check it out, thanks!

Gogs for lightweight git repo hosting, works great, zero maintenance.

When I tried to reset my ICQ password they wanted me to message 5 friends and have them vouch for me, people with whom I haven't talked in 15 years.. otherwise they wouldn't unlock…

This article hit close to home, albeit my contact with a cyberstalker was (thank god) very brief it was a nerve-wrecking experience, to which end I panicked and deleted a lot of ac…

I use ZoL for my home-server (5x3TB RAIDZ) and couldn't be happier, never had an issue too. The features really spoiled me compared to other filesystems/volume-managers. The only i…

Same here :/ It seems that IPv6 is a mere afterthought for most content providers - like Linux ports for popular Games... or civil discussion on forums. ;) The weirdest thing I not…

Off-topic: If only IPv6 adaptation would have as much momentum as HTTPS.
