I frequently get mini failures with quad9 and my DNS client is too dumb to retry with another server (or quad9 returns a valid but bogus response that prevents my client from hoping to the next server) so I had to ditch quad9. Quad9 also ha

None of what you say makes Europe better when it comes to the topic at hand, though? If I have to choose US or EU to host my website, the size of their army, the strength of their currency, or their history as political bullies doesn't

They give you the full /64 even on vps or kimsufi(low end servers) it's just that the interface is configured with the ::1/128 by default in their cloud-init. Their documentation about it is not consistent though, so the conf

Paint.net itself is still not open-source, so no distro will distribute it. If this shin even becomes "good enough" then I'm sure it will appear in the AUR and flathhub, however.

SSD still have slower reads when the data isn't sequential. Not slow enough to matter, especially with extents meaning the data is probably in a handful of locations, not 10000, but it's absolutely measurable if your blocks are sm

I hate Google and their dark patterns as much as the next guy but I agree: Having the pop-up once or twice or even three times is reasonable. A lot of people value the backup more than their privacy. But after saying no three times, it real

Risc-v is nowhere near dominant, people are just being swayed by headlines such as Western Digital or Nvidia shipping billions of risc-v cores. I do find it odd that you go on and compare to x86 marketshare however, the topic you've qu
