My desktop, laptop and homelab all synd my important stuff over syncthing. They all do btrfs snapshots three months back in case an oopsie would propagate.
The homelab additionally fetches deduplicated snapshots of my VPS weekly, before syncing all of the above to an encrypted hetzner storage for those burning-down-the-house events.
I need to feel productive. Be it a programming project or woodworking. Just creating something new instead of maintenance like oil changes and mowing the lawn. Creating something new.
Also, take a walk in the forest. Get out on the water. Both are great therapy to disconnect from the mental todo-list of things going on around the house.
My library has a banned book clubs for teenagers.
Books don’t get banned in my country, but they read and discuss books that are banned in other countries.
Also, you can check out a kill-a-watt to monitor your electricity consumption.
GalliumOS is x86/64 only, and has been deprecated for years. Mainline distros have good support for the Chromebook quirks now.
Cadmium, on the other hand.
Did I misunderstand something about the scenario here?
Wordpress foundation is a non-profit that develops and hosts installation packages and updates.
WPengine is a for-profit company that sells wordpress hosting.
All WPengine installations constantly look for updates and download these from the wordpress foundation. I’d bet they probably rack up half of their bandwidth costs.
WPengine can of course freely use wordpress’ GPLv2 licensed stuff, but it sounds like their leeching of resources was the main pain point.
To either contribute or host their own installation packages sounds like a fair request at the scale WPengine has been operating.
Hetzner, for comparison, sells virtual private servers running Debian. Debian is free, under a similar license as wordpress. Hetzner is a Debian partner and coughs up dough. Hetzner hosts their own mirrors to reduce load on Debian’s repositories.
Be like hetzner. Stroke the hand that feeds, or are least don’t tug at it.
Sounds like a prompt for generative AI to sink its teeth into.

these emulation handhelds – which often come pre-loaded with hundreds of games
I can only speak for the retroid pocket I have. It’s not far off from a stock android phone, sans camera and modem, plus d-pad and sticks.
It only came preloaded with a few open source emulators available on play store for free in addition to GApps (with official play store support).
INFO: What filesystem does your source drive/partition have?
I do wish the cables were male and ports female (think Lightning)
There’s a reason 99% of barrel connectors have power on the inside. I’d be nervous too fry a USB port or charger with the live end of a cable with power exposed.
Apparently lightning cables have an authentication chip in them, because of course they do. I’m guessing this chip also protects against short circuits between power and the other lines. I don’t think the USB implementers forum would like to add that kind of over-engineering to their specification.
I’ve only physically broken one USB-C receptacle, and in that instance the whole port got ripped off the circuitboard.
For an external display I’d bet the case is the hardware driver for the panel.
At least my 17" Powerbook G4 with a massive 2560x1440 display does it in the software display driver. I’m sure some laptop panels do it in hardware as well, but seems there’s some very janky shit going on at least with laptops that have both integrated and discrete GPUs.
USB-C is clearly superior. You can plug them in either way
With USB-A it always takes three tries to get it plugged in.
My PowerBook G4 might be a bit dated, but running other resolutions than native is quite heavy on that thing. Your built-in display can handle one resolution only - anything else will require upscaling.
Your GPU can probably do that upscaling for cheap. But cheaper than rendering your desktop applications? 🤷♂️
You’ll have to benchmark your particular device with powertop.
IPv6 was “just around the corner” when I was studying 20+ years ago. I kept a tunnel up until the brokers shut down.
I’ve been hosting some big (partly proprietary) services for work, and we’ve been IPv6 compatible for a decade.
My ISP finally gave me native IPv6 earlier this year, which gave me the push to make sure my personal hosting does IPv6 as well. Seems like most big players services support it today. It’s nice to not have the overhead that CGNAT brings.
IPv6 got a bit of a bad reputation when operating systems defaulted to 6to4 translation but never actually managed to work.
I was dual booting windows NT4 and Slackware 3.0. A lot of my old 3.11 and 95 software didn’t work on NT4, so eventually I stopped using it.
I’ve moved on to Arch Linux, now, but the software I use to sync my palm pilot doesn’t work. It’s available in the AUR, but it won’t build.
213kWh feels like quite a lot of juice. Admittedly, I usually don’t go at planing speeds.
I have an 80Ah lead-acid battery to power the electric trolling motor on my inflatable dinghy. That’s 80A*12V = 0.96kWh. That gives me 5-10Nm range depending on speed. My dinghy would sink with 213kWh on board.
My 7 tonne sailboat uses ~2l/h of diesel at twice the speed. 213kWh of lead-acid would double the weight.
I trained an ANN back in 2012 to trade bitcoin for me on mtgox. It performed quite a bit better than just HODLing until mtgox happened.
Now I live in a van down by the river.
From version 7.5 through version 7.6 onwards distribution of MaxDB (previously SAP DB) to the open source community was provided by MySQL AB, the same company that develops the open-source software database, MySQL. Development was done by SAP AG, MySQL AB and the open-source software community.
Wait, did I get his kids in the wrong order?
He does!
Say hello to MaxDB!
Their main product is telemetry and selling your watch history to advertisers.
That’s why Plex doesn’t work without an active internet connection.
Integrated GPU is not a dirty word anymore.
AMD’s system-on-a-chips with RDNA2/3 pack almost the same punch as the discrete cards with the same architecture. See steamdeck as the prime example, but there’s quite a few boards, boxes and laptops with the same.
