Been running jabberd for probably >10 years. Horrible experience (for the users) and terrible clients. Sometimes you'd just appear online while not sending/receiving anything. I switched to Nextcloud Talk after Skype shutdown a

How is there an entire page without a single line describing how it works?

Add that before UDMA modes any disk I/O burned CPU cycles as well. A single core CPU spent most of the time reading from a slow disk. Good times!

Windows before some version (maybe before XP?) only supported BMP wallpapers. BMP is uncompressed, a 1024x768 24-bit BMP is 2.25MB. That could be 7% of the 32MB system RAM and if the image got paged out - you were looking at it being redraw

See the other comment below. Maybe you also have a hash of the patches? :)

I'm not sure if I can. But if anyone else has the file, the hash is: 82c6658d53fa611273a4742ac824cc98196fd35e Should be pretty magnetic :)

That's where the disagreement is. Yes, it can be shared but RedHat under their license is not bound to provide you with any further updates. However, this makes it as if you are being punished for exercising the rights that have been g

I survived by saying since it's bottomless I never reach the ground. "It's the ground that kills you, not the fall" :)

The problem is not the same...Shuttle's main engines were dead in orbit after jettisoning the main tank. Only OMS thrusters were working and it landed unpowered, gliding to the surface (more like a controlled crash). It would never mak

That's really bad. I refinanced last month to a 3.7% fixed 20-year because the fixed rate here is currently lower than base variable rate (6-month Euribor at 4.1%, which would mean about 5.5% effective rate after the bank markup).

My UPS is showing 236V at the moment (continental EU). We also used to have 220V IIRC, but are now closer to 240V it seems.

That ~9kW is probably split over 3 phases. Here you have 3x20A main breakers and then each circuit has a 10A or 16A breaker. So about 3.7kW limit for larger appliances (16A * 230V) on a single circuit, but should not exceed 20A on one phase

I'm searching for something that would stamp a custom date on a PDF, like "Received\n$(date)". I'm solely printing my stuff to stamp a date and then scanning them back... Haven't found anything yet.

JPEG is 30 years old so we need something more modern (better compression, less visual artifacts, web optimized, etc...). There already was a plan to change it with JPEG 2000, but it failed, obviously, as we still use jpegs. Now several for

I briefly used LXD once when I needed a full system inside a container. But podman also supports systemd inside a container and along with macvlan networking you can pretty much build an "independent" container acting almost as a

They don't. What they do is centralize CO2 production which can be then mitigated on a larger scale (switching power production to nuclear/solar/wind, CO2 capture from industrial processes...). They also clean-up living space

I wonder how much compilers could be improved with AI? I'd imagine outputting optimized avx code from an existing C for() loop would be much easier than going from a "write me a python code that..." prompt.

It should be noted DOSBox uses it's own ZMBV codec for video compression which is lossless, optimized for game graphics and fast to compress in real-time during capture. By converting to h264 the video is probably compatible with a wid

How about space propulsion? Maybe I'm naive, but inertial confinement fusion seems like a great candidate for a space engine.

Red Hat sometimes also backports new features, not just security fixes. In the first years of RHEL life cycle new features and certain upgrades are usually added to the point releases. This is actually nicer than being locked into same feat

According to the commit log, the kernel adds a timer loop to generate some entropy. So getrandom() still blocks, but kernel is adding jitter entropy to seed the pool so the wait time should be minimal.
