It seems like a great option to get between MSN, MKE, or RFD and ORD. Maybe even an interesting connector between MDW and ORD. The key thing question is whether smaller more frequent flights eat up too much runway time to be economical.

But it may be for getting from Denver to Breckenridge or Winter Park. A flight to bypass Berthoud Pass in the winter seems quite attractive. More likely, this replaces the turboprop or commuter jet from Colorado Springs to Denver to catch t

ZFS compresses recordsize or volblocksize chunks down to some whole number of disk blocks, as determined by 1 >> ashift. In practice, this typically means that each 128k chunk gets compressed to some number of sequential 512 or 4096 b

For the cost of a small amount of metadata the offsets of every MiB or so could be stored. I did something like this with pigz as I was implementing multithreaded compressed and encrypted kernel zone suspend and resume for Solaris.

Had to look that up and stumbled across this: > The information about ghost pipe containing grayanotoxin is based on a single source from 1889. (Yes 1889, not 1989!) https://unrulygardening.com/ghost-pipe-faqs/ They

Is this tunable per hearing program? When in an even moderately noisy environment I find myself switching to AirPods if I’m streaming. I would love for the HA to give separate controls for BT audio vs ambient like AirPods do.

The cheap hearing aid cost $750 for one and is substantially the same as the same thing sold from standalone audiologists for much more. These are not cheap over the counter devices. Charging only happens while in the cradle, not while worn

With my previous hearing aid I noticed that visiting a wide variety of web sites would cause a change in the amplification of environmental noise. I always assumed it was doing something with Bluetooth, and probably not for a good reason. T

I wonder if similar results would come from just adding a second 10 Gb NIC. If his workload runs SMB multichannel at sufficient queue depth, the load should spread across the multiple paths. If the queue depth is always 1, SMB multichannel

Even better, get rid of the mandate for ethanol and cover a portion of the ex corn fields with solar panels with native plants under and around them. A small portion of the land that is near existing transmission lines is needed to replace

I was at the Toyota dealership today. A TRD off-road with TRD Off-Road Upgrade Package and other goodies has a MSRP of $61k and the tag hanging from the rear view mirror said the no haggle price was $54,608. Still a lot of money and it is a

AllTrails has a heat map feature as well. I think this feature is now paywalled.

You can record tracks with (I think) both Organic Maps and CoMaps. If you are interested in the social aspects of sharing tracks https://wanderer.to/ and a few others offer imports of GPX and other track formats.

I’ve seen a tick in Wisconsin every month of the year over the past five years or so. That is I’ve seen a January tick one year, February tick that same year or another year, etc. Whenever there is a bit of a warm spell they appear. Presuma

https://lymealert.com/how-it-works/ I’m not optimistic this will be all that helpful. Just because the tick you found is negative, that tells you nothing about those you did not find. Just because a tick is positive, t

A big consideration for efficiency and TCO calculations is the number of servers required to house the drives. NVMe drives tend not to be in external JBOF enclosures. Fewer servers means fewer cpus, less RAM, fewer fans, and maybe fewer swi

In the late 80s I worked in an industrial controls shop. This is the type of place that makes the cabinets with all the buttons, switches, and lights commonly associated with nuke plant controls. Only we did mostly controls for paper making

Back in 1997 or so I bought an ATI video card that also had a Weezer video on the CD. I remember being amazed that it could play the video at 1024x768 with just a little bit of tearing.

This sounds like Solaris doors. The remainder of the time slice of the door client is given to the door server.

Exactly. I question why the parent says you have to re-encrypt the drive. Microsoft has the KEK or passphrase that can be used to derive the KEK. The KEK protects the DEK which is used to encrypt the data. Rotating the KEK (or KEKs if multi

Mirroring between s3 providers would seemingly give protection against your account being locked at one of them. I expect this becomes most interesting with l2arc and cache (zil) devices to hold the working set and hide write latency. Maybe

What is up with fin? Is it really just writing an int 0 in the memory right after some variable present in libc or similar? extern fin; if(getpw(0, pwbuf)) goto badpw; (&fin)[1] = 0;
