Running a number of production services on-premise on a big machine using native zones, a few using LX zones (the built-in Linux compatibilty layer), and a single bhyve zone. Actually, years ago this machine was the very first server we set

You might also be interested in the IRMA protocol and the app implementing it, Yivi. They support a similar scheme, but using some additional cryptographic systems that provide extra security properties such as unlinkability that are very u

Copying using OSC52 is great! I have a cross-platform shell function for that in my bashrc [1], as well as an implementation that works in vim [2]. [1]: https://github.com/DvdGiessen/dotfiles/blob/2c02332b4a65

I haven't so far. CS:GO and now CS2 run natively on Linux, so never played those online in the VM. I hear Valorant's anticheat is trouble, but I haven't played it (and probably won't for that reason; personally I have so

When I switched to daily driving Linux I created a VFIO Windows VM that gets passed through my GPU and USB controller (and thus audio, inputs) which gives me pretty near native performance. It takes maybe 10 seconds to boot into it, and I c

A workaround that works locally (and only locally) is to build zfs-dkms (AUR) yourself and modify it so it doesn't break on these GPL-only symbols. While the licenses would forbid distributing it as such, you can do so on your own mach

Actually, you can use it on Android, but it does require using Firefox Nightly[1]. That does come with downsides such as Nightly being less stable and installing extensions requiring some extra setup, so it isn't the best choice for ev

You could look into streaming parsers such as Oboe.js, which specifically support the use case of parsing JSON tree's larger than the available RAM[0]. Then again, when you're loading such huge JSON files into a 32-bit instance of

Really cool, enjoyed playing it for a while. Challenges you to practise your regex golf[1] skills. :) There seem to be some bugs with the timing mechanisms, probably some JS timeouts aren't properly reset, causing weird game behaviour

I never heard of SQRL specifically before, so I just spent some time researching it. From what I can find, it has some significant flaws[0], and it doesn't seem these can be addressed without defeating the few advantages this SQRL appr
