I really wish I could use Firefox! But I gave up after trying repeatedly, and unsuccessfully, to force-enable hardware acceleration and bypass their 'video card blacklist'. From what I understand they check driver versions in a co

Not in my experience. With 4 GB ram, Chrome will happily give ~2GB to any tab that requests it in a couple of seconds, leaving me with an unresponsive Windows aggressively paging memory to disk, only to give whatever it finds... back to chr

> Measuring memory usage is hard ... Exactly, I usually find that chrome is eating a little more than what it's displayed in task manager in windows ;) I have no idea how it can achieve that to be honest. Restarting it seems to brin

Funny thing, most if not all 'client-side failover' strategies you might find through google or the likes won't work either. This is because the loaded resource will 'fail' anywhere between x seconds up to minutes,

And that's why I moved most of my website registrations to a name@mydomain.com address and host the server myself on a $4/mo VPS. Still, my domain name is tied to my gmail address. Now I'm paranoid I'll lose access to my

I'm actually planning on renting a VPS soon to use as a personal VPN, dedicated IP, hopefully dedicated bandwidth etc. I don't have even the smallest idea how to configure one or what software I actually need, BUT, my greatest fea

This is actually not just about Tor. Their definition of "suspicious" is quite liberal and naive to be honest. As an anecdote, I get ~1 captcha per month because I live in Eastern Europe. Add to that Linux, Firefox, NoScript and y

I believe it's wrong to say that users don't care. Rather, users, don't really have a choice. From personal experience, linux is still far from actually being user-friendly. And it's easy for me to compare: 1) I haven&#x

Speaking as a past student I'm really glad I started with C. In the beginning, the fear of getting some random Segmentation fault out of nowhere actually taught me more than any textbook, school or best practices blog could ever do. It

At least for me the change log is one of the first items I read when looking to try new software. It often tells quite a lot about how involved the developers are, what direction the project is heading to, or how mature it is overall.

I would like to see more control options for the end users. Let users chose if their account can be recovered through a password reset form, let users leave 'secret memos' for support which can't be viewed on the site later,

In my experience it was the other way around. I signed up with gitlab only because they offer free private repos. Now since I already have an account with them and I don't have to go through the hassle of setting up stuff again, I&#x27

Not accept, but adapt and learn to live with it. I'm saying this because I don't see any solution. Our data can be sold. Our data can be 'shared' by our less educated friends,etc. Our data can be 'leaked' throu

If history serves right, I upgraded to Windows 7 around 2-3 years after it was released, and I still had occasional blue screens or hiccups. About one year later it finally started calming down. Now, in 2016, I could run my machine indefini

In my case, I want a stable OS. Also there's a high chance the Windows 10 video driver for my 4 year old Dell laptop is broken, just like the last 3 versions Dell released for Win7. Only the first one from 2012 has no bugs.

Just like some people mentioned in the comments on the previous article. I have every important update installed. And every optional/recommended update hidden. I can't replicate the behavior. The older GWX update (KB303555XX somet

From personal experience, yes. I've got an older dell laptop that came with Ubuntu 12, bought in 2013. I assume everything worked back then, but I needed Windows for school. Some months ago, wanting to switch, tried Ubuntu 14 and Debia

I find it infuriating how much traction this whole anti ad/tracking war is getting. People mention there's no choice anymore. Wrong! It's still there, just like it was 10 or 15 years ago. Stop sharing your personal informatio

I setup my own server recently and could share my experience. Using postfix + dovecot(imap) + thunderbird. 1 user, set to check mail every 9 minutes. Not even sure if I have IDLE on my server (unless it's on by default). The SolusVM co

At first, when I switched to Ubuntu and saw dnsmasq I was a little happy. I thought I could finally have something lightweight and slightly more powerful than a hosts file plus more control over what happens with my queries. But then I trie
