The RPI is sort of the exception; I have a couple of them doing odd tasks around the house like displaying security cameras, but that's an outlier due to the massive amount of support it gets. In boxes in the basement are all sorts of

They usually perform well, but get put in a drawer and forgotten about because the software compatibility is generally atrocious. Peripherals advertised generally never work, but you know, might in a future kernel. I've been burned eno

It's not ethereum, it's some other bespoke blockchain to issue NFTs on.

The website linked, and it's associated information all absolutely scream red flags and is functionally similar to a hoard of other schemes. It's a technically simple product (distribute binaries from a webserver) with a completel

I'd still love for them to support some other form of auth, Google or Microsoft auth is an incredible drag as a gatekeeper to their product.

GNOME isn't even a fraction of the problem, desktop linux is absolutely unsuitable for day to day use and that's nothing to do with the desktop environments. The foundational design decisions of the way applications are rendered i

Yeah, it's no replacement for a dedicated device, but it's with a whole lot of people all the time.

Feels sort of nonsensical honestly. Credit card anti fraud is entirely reactionary, there’s no magic bullet, you’re just papering over the cracks of an absolutely broken payment system. Every service will see different fraud, it will always

There's ways around medical inadmissibility, you can absolutely get around the cost threshold by proving your ability to cover the cost- so long as it isn't a personal guarantee. It's sort of a nightmare, you have to apply fo

Ocrevus, the pricing is not public.

The leading drug used for treatment is CAD$28,500/year.

The laws on what makes you inadmissible medically have changed fairly recently, specifically the dollar amounts that they consider excessive.

The amount of support requests it produces is unreal.

You don’t see that because it just isn’t supported by what people make. No laptops are going to provide PD power outputs at relevant voltages because they would need to have a huge amount of switching circuitry for a situation that is not s

It’s something akin to a layer violation to have a database server running openssl and encrypting its own communication. It isn’t it’s business at all.

So, a VPN then?

by RL_Quine 4y ago
Who cares though? All connections to SQL servers are going to be localhost or over a VPN, if your setup for postgres has a SSL certificate you're doing something terribly wrong to begin with. I'm not even sure why the option exist

We got at least one which seems faulty, but to their credit they immediately got back to us and asked for more data for their engineering to look at. The numbers produced are obviously very very wrong. They seem solid otherwise and are acce

Until the hardware totally gave out, I used a Sony Vaio P which is of similar size, but had a keyboard usable by a human being. I loved the thing as just a terminal on the go, if I had ever repaired the 3G modem it would have been literally

All the regulation being in French, and the translated versions not being considered official is such a hindrance to doing anything in Quebec. Everything becomes substantially more complicated, involves a lot more people, and it is disjoint

With negotiation Hydro Quebec is substantially less than those numbers.

The water block is full coverage, the length of the card on both sides, and is a gigantic block of copper. With the water inside it’s even heavier.

by RL_Quine 4y ago
The water cooling on my 3090 is heavier than the air cooling for the same card, as you need a coldplate on both sides of the thing to get rid of the heat.
27.
by RL_Quine 4y ago
Yeah, I have a motherboard with a bent out of shape port because of the weight of the card in it. My current desktop has a sag of easily half an inch at the end of the card and it’s not even a particularly large one by current standards. Th

I’m not sure how people run such low power usages honestly. My desktop is about 700W when playing games alone.

SSH supports FIDO2 so I'm not really sure the purpose of having an agent.

Heating and hot water is gas, cooling is electric.
