I would have assumed the hosts file got cached, indexed and re-read if the file changes. Surely it’s not read and parsed for every single hostname lookup.
My adblock list is in BIND9 anyway, so I don’t get this issue. I can see it definitely takes a second or two to parse the whole list on startup.
Leave the battery in and you have a free UPS. Perhaps set it capped at 80% charge to increase its lifespan.
My server is always my old desktop hardware. It’s a 4th-gen i5 with 16GB RAM and it’s keeping up fine. I have thrown quite a lot of work at it too. If you avoid containers, you can serve 20 services off it no problem.
I too, was worried about power costs. Every time I do the maths, the new hardware will be obsolete by the time I make the money back in savings. If you’re concerned about environmental impact, the initial manufacture of hardware does more damage than running it over its lifetime.
Dedicated (1U rackmount) servers are always loud and power-hungry. I they idle at 130w and sound like a hairdryer that’s been left on.
Find secondhand on Facebook marketplace. Dive into an e-waste bin if you have to.
Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality”
Removing Copilot wasn’t unintentional at all. They said so right there in the release notes.
This is what I did. Flashed OpenWRT on all devices and enabled the 802.11r stuff. My “mesh” is just multiple APs connected by ethernet and fast BSSID handover.
802.11s is a mesh where it’s all done over Wifi. 802.11r uses ethernet for comms between APs.
BambuLab A1 Mini. It has a WNIC.
Blockchain 10 years ago was hyped like AI now.
It would be great if more smart devices had a LAN-only control mode like my 3D printer, TV and AV receiver.
I would be perfectly happy if my iRobot phone app only worked from inside my network.
Mozilla gave them an OK privacy rating. Not great, but not terrible.
Now I want Lightspeed® Briefs.
If making the PRNG on your CPU predictable can compromise your whole system, then your kernel is not doing its job.
I still remember the mass migration to reddit. Digg had an old website that didn’t scale to their userbase. They deployed a new site, and everyone hated the design. They couldn’t continue on the old website because it would crash and burn.
The important part is that Kevin, Alex and all of Digg were quite open and honest about the situation. At no point were they being jerks. They just couldn’t keep manage the technical hurdles.
OMG Hypnotoad HTPC is so much better! Why didn’t I thnnk of that?
Server (big iron): Bender
Desktop (main character): Fry
Laptop (for accounting): Hermes
Netbook (small and dumb): Nibbler
Phone (held to my head): BrainSlug
HTPC (one big viewport): Leela
I have a single Pikachu sticker that says “ピカチュズキ” (Pikachuzuki) on my Suzuki. It throws people off because I’m not Japanese.
It would produce something completely different every time.
You either need to be indistinguishable from everyone else, or indistinguishable from your last page load.
Just randomly inserting fake fonts, changing your screen resolution by a few pixels, changing the variant of English between US, Canada, UK and Australia. Rendering text and images with unnoticeable random dither in the subpixel hinting. That sort of stuff.
Click on all the ads and install all the malware. That will teach them.
Microg pairs best with LineageOS. I’ve done both and I prefer the GrapheneOS sandbox. It actually passes safetynet at the moment.
Just don’t expect RCS messages or NFC payments to work on either.
Are you talking about Betamax, ATRAC3, MemoryStick, Video8, Digital8, UMD, MiniDisc or BluRay?
The backend and frontend on the product I work on are like this.
As long as you remember that booleans are not strings and should always be parsed if they are, this won’t be a problem.
I am yet to see a boolean.parse() implementation in the wild that is case sensitive.
