I watched the NASA press conference, where the decision was announced, and Bill Nelson said that the new Boeing CEO promised him he will work with NASA to keep Starliner flying. It will require quite a significant investment to fix the proj

I mean, building a jet engine from an old car turbocharger is not that difficult, you only have to manufacture the combustion chamber.

For comparison with Alpine Linux: base kbd-bkeymaps, xz compressed: 2.8 MB base kbd-bkeymaps busybox-extras, xz compressed: 2.8 MB Just 100 kB more for telnet, no extra deps. I wouldn't actually want to work in that chroot but

What a terrible website. I first thought my ad blocker broke because the site was so visually overloaded. Turns out those are links to actual "articles" of this site. Seems like they are serious when they say "News... but not

Worth noting it's also the first rocket using electric fuel pumps instead of turbopumps. To optimize the weight they also drop the batteries once they get empty.

You've got good points and I admit I'm split on this issue. In theory i would rather have everything handled by the package manager but container apps provide a few useful advantages: - sandboxing/isolation out of the box

I can think of a few reasons (1) Use of a different libc (alpine linux with musl) (2) most builds are not reproducible, rebuilds are needed for security reasons (3) non-rolling release distros (-> most distros) fork the upstream projects

(1) Nat. Gas causes much more deaths per PWh produced (5 vs 0.1 for the US) and still produces quite a lot of CO2. (2) Renewable + pumped hydro is much more expensive that just producing electricity directly from nuclear. The environmental

But how high is the cost of generating the energy _plus_ the cost of storing it? And does the wind always have the same strength or do you need to build additional wind farms for times when the wind is weaker?

Nuclears problem is not accidents but irrational fear. For comparison here are the deaths per PWh produced¹. Coal 100,000 (US: 10,000) Nat. Gas 4,000 Hydro 1,400 (US: 5) Solar 440 Wind 150 N

I disagree. Brave is targeted at the average browser user. Only ~10% of Windows users use adblockers, 2% on Android/iOS. And you can't tell me all of these people want to see ads, most of them probably just don't know about a

Because you need the files to do proof of proof-of-storage and get your coins (back). But as the OP said there's currently no proof-of-will-to-distribute-storage so you can save money by just sending the proof-of-storages to the networ

Alpine is a nice if you're looking for a really small os with an large number of ported packages. I use it as a rescue system for my main linux os. Only negative thing I can think of is that that their support forums¹ are full of spam.

What does EFI support mean? I remember booting Alpine on an UEFI system a few months before this update so it can't be support for that. Is it maybe related to efistub?

Does anyone found an alternative to "BackTrack Tab History", an extension that copies the history of the current tab to newly opened tabs? The author thinks he won't be able to port it to Quantum.

He defines 'vanilla' to mean 'build from upstream with little distro-specific changes'. So what does this have to do with making Python 3 the default python interpreter? I bet this symlink is not even part of the python

I guess that's the magic of the Arch Wiki¹. Even if not using Arch I often find it far more useful and up-to-date than the wiki of my own distributions (Ubuntu and Manjaro). [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php&#x2

I'm a big fan of the Arch User Repository (AUR). But Arch itself takes too long to configure and breaks from time to time so I switched to Manjaro which is based on Arch but has its own repos with more config files already prepared for

This suit is only a flight suit and can not be used for EVA as it lacks a life support system and heat exchanger. That being said their EVA suit will probably look similary cool so you're still right ;)

I think you do not need one anymore. The patent were filled in 1997, that's now 20 years ago. See: https://madfileformatscience.garymcgath.com/2016/0/05/mp3pat... The last two patents seem to be related
