I've fiddled around with https://docs.getmoto.org/en/latest/docs/server_mode.html It didn't support the one thing I wanted but it was so easy to find the right place in the code, I was happy. Never

That would be interesting, also at the start. As an option what to pull in. ChatGPT memory "improved" and now you normally don't even see anymore what it commits to memory!

I can try! I currently use ChatGPT for random insights and discussions about a variety of topics. The memory is basically a grown context about me and my preferences and interests and ChatGPT uses it to tailor responses to my knowledge, so

At some point free markets become fiction. There's no financially viable way to start competing businesses in markets as entrenched as mobile OSes. Otherwise this would have happened. And if that becomes anti consumers, then the consum

But this thread is about the option to install apps on your device regardless of OS vendor approval, and that's not possible either with iOS nor is iOS open source. And that's what this is all about. If you don't care about o

Until it does ;) But I still agree - if the benchmark was in memory, Stoolap might be optimized for speed. Sqlite is optimized for persistence, so you have to benchmark on disk and compare how it performs when writes fail.

Not a security expert and also curious about implications: I always considered it the best solution to have both: VPN encryption and TLS encryption over the VPN. Different OSI Layers. Different Attack Surfaces. Not sure if that is a recomme

I checked the source of the original (like maybe many of you) to check how they actually did it and it was... simpler than expected. I drilled myself so hard to forget tables as layout... And here it is. So simple it's a marvel.

History edit A form of virtualization was first demonstrated with IBM's CP-40 research system in 1967, then distributed via open source in CP/CMS in 1967–1972, and re-implemented in IBM's VM family from 1972 to the present. E

See uses here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basalt_fiber I am no material scientist, so cannot comment on actual facts why it might be better in specific cases than Kevlar, Dyneema or Carbon. But from experience there

Ohh, these are excellent questions! I understand OPs sentiment fully - and the response is probably "it depends" :D Culture and Art is a volatile thing and let's assume a game and it's mods are a piece of culture and art

I've had a lot of servers going down. I've had data centers going down. For various reasons - but normally not a failed disk but configuration errors due to human error. And I've had enough cases where the company relied on j

I would really be interested in an actual comparison, where e.g. someone compares the full TCO of a mysql server with backup, hot standby in another data center and admin costs. On AWS an Aurora RDS is not cheap. But I don't have to sp

Funny. This is the opposite of what https://blog.hiler.eu/win32-the-only-stable-abi/ states :D And there's a lot going on with Proton and the Steam Deck, so I don't think this is a valid argument.

I'm not familiar with retroshare but from a quick research it seems you only receive content from people you're connected with and their connections. So it should be pretty straightforward to remove toxic connections http:/&

I just had a use case the other day: my mom sent me a photo of a handwritten recipe from my great grandmother a year ago. I only remembered asking about asking, not about the response, so I was happy to still have that pic in my history. Ha

I thought it pretty clear. If it makes you money, you pay for it. And it's so inexpensive, I've never bothered to negotiate with my employer to fund it as I could easy pay it myself. So now I am less incentiviced to pay and I have

From kagi.com: > No ads. No tracking. No compromise. Just deep, powerful search. So you are not paying for better search but for no tracking and no ads. If you don't care about those, you're not kagi target audience.
