TLDR for those who gave up reading: The distributed repos and "commit-then-push" metaphor might be due for a replacement since we're always online anyways and repos grow larger and larger. Perhaps using VFS where all files a

Love to hear more about the Git implementation. In using S3, are you going the walgit route or more like git-remote-s3?

Would be interesting to see how much a PTP-aware switch would impact the jitter, and whether 802.1AS is possible.

From what I can deduce from the release notes and the linked documentation, it can still be enabled? And it relates to Windows and Linux only, and using the TPM. My guess is that unreliable TPMs made it risky to have this enabled by default

Inside the pods it makes no sense, but I do enable it on some memory-constrained worker nodes. Note that the kubelet by default refuses to start if the machine has any swap at all.

Getting it from source is as easy as `go install github.com/minio/minio@latest` if you have a recent Go. In addition your favorite Linux distribution probably has it as from-source builds already. For a container image you could t

Ah, DigiCash! I was really optimistic on this concept in my student days - one local bank even had a PoC with digital cash.

This is exactly how the physical representation of money works as well. The central bank controls how many bills are in circulation, and the central bank regularly expires old bills and coins.

Yeah, I know of one example where idea was actually created and pitched to media outlets. They did not like the idea. They very much more like the idea of owning the customer and keeping the customer paying subscriptions. I also know of a

When you're paying for RHEL you're not paying for the software that you are installing. All of that can be downloaded. You are paying for: - A reproducible target. You know EXACTLY what code you are running. If you manage more tha

Former Belgium user here. Checked my inbox, no emails from Influx since June 2022. Then again, I was only using the free tier, so I guess I got what I paid for.

Hardly. - Both Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X use x86 processors. - MacBook market share is around 10%, so the majority of new laptops are still x86. - The majority of cloud compute instances are also x86.

I've got a Pebble color that still works thanks to rebble.io. For me it's got the best balance between features and simplicity. Any more features and the battery (life or size) would be worse. Sleep and step tracking is average, n

Love the tomato analogy - exactly why you need to convert energy, even with the efficiency loss.

Most counterarguments related to Hydrogen refer to the poor efficiency of converting (electric) energy to Hydrogen and back. True, directly using that electric energy from wind or solar is definitely the best option. However, that is not al
