I've installed this on my Surface Go 2 64GB. Runs smooth! Absolutely the best tablet experience for Linux. The support is also wild: My silly questions are answered within hours.

4k is really nice for text. Always annoyed by 1080p screens for work. But yeah gaming - 1080p is fine. I have a 9060 XT and I play games at 4k like Mortal Kombat X, Fallout 4, Evil Within 2, Dead Space Remastered and Wolfenstein: The New Co

A quick search on Xeon production yields that it goes through a rather rigorous testing. I wouldn't be surprised that server cpu's in a desktop pc works longer. I can't overclock it either, and that probably helps with its li

Could it just be really bad cooling? Looking at 9800X3D, it seems like it's running in a similar range wrt TDP unless you really push the 9800X3D. I'm comparing with desktop cpu's because that's what my workload is. cpu

It should be closer to 85W on load. And it's incredibly silent on even a low end cooler. I rarely get above 50° Celcius.

The E5-2620 v4 is great. Have been using it for 10 years now. Wanted to upgrade until I saw current prices. I have 64 GB ddr4. Paired it with rx 9060 xt 16 GB and games run as fast as ever. Perhaps the cpu is a slight bottleneck in DOOM The

It's easy for others to see what you're downloading: https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com . So if you're unsure if the torrent is legitimate, I'd probably avoid it.

Windows subsystem for Android is deprecated. There's a community maintained alternative but it seems to have a few problems wrt. Windows updates.

AI is such a blessing. I use it almost every day at work, and I've spent this evening getting a Bluetooth to USB mapper for a ps4 controller working by having ChatGPT write it for me, for a bigger project I'm working on. Yes, it&#

This is also the university that develops RumbleDB[0]. It uses JSONiq as its query language which is such a pleasure to work with. It's useful for dealing with data lakes, though I've only experimented with it because of JSONiq. [

Archive Files is for blobs as far as I understand. All your other data remains uncompressed?

by jansommer 10mo ago
Something to consider when using SQLite as a file format is compression (correct me if I'm wrong!). You might end up with a large file unless you consider this, and can't/won't just gz the entire db. Nothing is compresse

Precisely! That's why RDS sounds so interesting. I get a lot more knobs to tweak performance, but I'm curious if a maxed out gp3 with instances that support it is going to fare any better than Aurora.

by jansommer 10mo ago
Have you benchmarked your load on RDS? [0] says that IOPS on Aurora is vastly different from actual IOPS. We have just one writer instance and mostly write 100's of GB in bulk. [0] https://dev.to/aws-heroes/100k-wr

This is super confusing. Check out the RDS Postgres calculator with gp3: > General Purpose SSD (gp3) - Throughput > gp3 supports a max of 4000 MiBps per volume But the docs say 2000. Then there's IOPS... The calculator allows up

People who have experience with Aurora and RDS Postgres: What's your experience in terms of performance? If you dont need multi A-Z and quick failover, can you achieve better performance with RDS and e.g. gp3 64.000 iops and 3125 throu

I'm thinking about how to properly test AWS Step Functions. The problem is that I can either mock the entire response for every state in JSON only, or call out to a lambda. What I want is to type check the evaluated JSONPath payload

You can use tpm2_policyauthorize and allow the PCR to change without having to manually unlock. This was not supported in TPM 1.2. You can use it with Systemd. https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tools/blob/

Odd that you have to recover from changing UEFI settings with Secure Boot! You should be able to change any setting when that's enabled. BitLocker binds to a lot of other things when SB is off and might be fragile in that state. But it

Found the article where I read about PCR 7+11 being the default [1]. The reason I looked it up is because if this is actually true, and the TPM is built into the cpu, what prevents someone from placing the cpu and disk on another motherboar

I wouldn't underestimate that a PIN prevents this attack on machines that are powered off. You can then go further up the chain with a UEFI settings password and no usb booting. If the password is hard to decrypt, then that's a pr

by jansommer 2y ago
7+11 is default for BitLocker as far as I know. Binding to other values will bite you later if you update UEFI firmware or change some settings. GRUB and all other boot loaders are unecessary with UEFI. See my comment history for more. Kern

If you can short the reset pins while the computer is running and make it restart without losing power, then yes, I agree. But if you have to shut down to make your modifications, then you won't get past the PIN prompt.

Should be good enough for a personal tablet used for mail and browsing. If I drop it and someone curious finds it, I'd like to make it impossible for them to extract anything useful.

by jansommer 2y ago
I think you get the biggest advantage from BitLocker when you use TPM (PCR 7+11) with a PIN. That should mitigate the exploit because the FVEK should never be read without the PIN, and if BitLocker does it right (which I think it does) too

There is rarely a need for GRUB on EFI systems. Create a unified kernel image, create a fat fs gpt partition, mount on /boot/efi and put the image there, then add it to efibootmgr. Sign and use systemd-stub and Shim for Secure Boo
