If it can be made small enough for use in mobile devices, I wonder whether the need for air/oxygen might require compromising on water-tightness. Would an oxygen permeable waterproof membrane allow enough through for operation? It woul

That's essentially how mega.io works. The browser encrypts before upload, and the key is added to the download URL. When downloading, the browser uses the key in the URL for local decryption. The intention is for them to have no access

Yeah, my guess is that they roll out the updates to every client at the same time, and then have the client implement the n-1/2/whatever part locally. That worked great-ish until they pushed a corrupt (empty) update file which cra

Also, screwing over the minnows who are willing to spend some money is a huge gift to the competition. If another product grabs a large portion of the market, and now has more resources to innovate with, the whales may even start to switch

Possibly desirable for optimal image quality, sure, but taking pictures is not the only use for a telescope. Many things just require knowing how much light is present, and how that changes over time. Occultations are one such case which I

For #2 - Assuming it's not a spotting scope or similar, filtering IR wouldn't have much benefit. An IR filter might even hurt for the typical star gazing type usage, depending on the equipment used. Cameras for looking at things i

ESXi needs the RAID to be handled by another device, the simplest case is a hardware RAID card with disks locally attached to it. You can also attach remote disks/volumes from other systems, with or without RAID, over the network/

It's not as easy as playing with more 'normal' stuff, but I usually use VMs on a local hypervisor like ESXi, or a bunch of old desktop/server hardware if I have enough space/power/cooling at the time. Winter he

Think of all the monetization possibilities - The AI could secretly teach your parrot to speak about how it would prefer a different (specific) brand of food, or that you should really buy nicer looking clothes from such and such store! I f

My experience is similar; I have my personal email, which has been in use since the early 00s, in almost plain text (@ replaced with <at>) on the about page of a fairly popular site which gets several million visits a month. I only ge

The $30-50 zenni glasses/lenses in my experience are actually substantially clearer than the (absolute ripoff) $400-500 rayban ones. Same prescription, and the zenni ones even arrived quicker! Frame consistency is a bit of an issue tho

Haven't looked into it, but it sounds like it would work similarly (with some nice benefits such as also being able to easily store other metadata/etc). Feasibility would depend on how quickly the indexes and such load, and the re

I do exactly that for storing the result thumbnails for some of the dbs in my reverse image search engine (SauceNAO). Non compressed zip files allow quickly/easily seeking to and accessing component files without extraction. A few tens

May be more directly related to the CPU/etc load and HW age rather than software. If the phone's battery is older, it may not be able to keep up with the bursty power draw, which can cause the phone to crash.

From what I understand, there is significant variance in how bitter it is to different people. As an example, I can lick a switch cartridge and just get a slight tingly sensation, it's not particularly bitter or unpleasant. I have also

In the case of botulism toxin, it's actually the opposite. The spores are extremely resistant to temperature, but the toxin can be destroyed by boiling at normal temp/pressure until all parts have been fully exposed to those temps

Just 'spitballing', but if the restraints are adequate, the compression of flesh may act to slow down and spread out the force of the accident to a certain degree. Bruising may be more likely, and the increased overall force might

I know mine was chronically low in Magnesium. The first indicator which got my attention and pointed to a potential problem was that taking a multi vitamin would make me feel _much_ better than normal the next day.

Getting and storing the content is one of the main challenges, and it's getting harder by the day with more and more sites using anti bot stuff from companies like Cloudflare. With the SauceNAO.com image search engine I tried to tailor

It's far worse than just being able to listen to music, with the right receiver and software you can decode the image from the monitor. Here's a quick overview. https://hackaday.com/2020/05/14/tempes

But they are though, the parity data calcs being corrupted in that first example caused data corruption during a scheduled array check while the system was under unusually heavy load. Error checking is good, and when things are working righ

A lot of things in computing are overwhelmingly stupid or assume everything will work as expected. I have experienced several data corruption events related to parity data being read incorrectly, not in ZFS, but with hardware and software r

I was thought I was replying to a general comment made about behaviors of filesystems in general and was attempting to clarify that. We obviously disagree about how safe and reliable certain things are, but that is fine.

by Xamayon 4y ago
I did not mention ZFS specifically. If ZFS has better handling of this kind of thing, that's great, but if you can't trust your memory to be correct you can't trust the data in buffers, the data being hashed, or the data bein

I did not specifically mention ZFS anywhere in my comment, bad memory corrupting data being actively changed remains a problem for any filesystem. If the filesystem is actively changing data it can not rely on anything it is writing to disk

The good thing about filesystems which have no error checking is that they won't generally go back and corrupt the old, idle, already written data on disk when they have a memory issue. If you run a scrub/whatever to check validit

I find having a 120mm pc fan sitting on top blowing down through the case's top holes keeps everything sane. A 120mm fan matches the size almost perfectly, and there are even some usb powered ones available online. Running the fan slow

I felt the same way about how they killed off the old extensions. It took a lot of work to rewrite my (much smaller) Image Search Options extension, and lots of once key features had to be removed... I tried to work with Mozilla to get a co

I tried to address the issue with finding out about the match at the end of my comment. I agree it's not exactly practical without other serious work to intercept the alerts, have 'spies' in the apple review process, etc. Muc
