Yes, precisely like Facebook "Internet" is worse than nothing. Things like these will bite us in the ass in the future, better to stop it as soon as possible.

After some research I'm now able to provide an answer to my own question. The canvas was partitoned into blocks of 10x10 pixels that was white until sold. You would make a payment for X number of blocks through 2Checkout or PayPal. Aft

So it was like buying tickets online? if multiple people were interested in the same region, the one which payment went through first got the region? However, this must still have been chaotic once the interest started to rise as space woul

I wonder how he got everything to fit as more and more space was sold and if it was a manual process? It must have been like playing Tetris on expert mode.

The amount of work that goes into Devuan for pulling out systemd of Debian Jessie is clear evidence that what you are saying is not easily possible.

systemd was just a symptom. Multiple developers that had been working on Debian for many years, left the project in that period for various of reasons.

Congratulations. The return of Firefox branding makes me feel nostalgic. I remember using Firefox 1.04 on Debian in the early 00's. This was in the golden age of Firefox, when every new release was an improvement and it was a lean non-

I did run an older version of binwalk on the firmware image, but it was unable to unpack anything and only printed false positives. I have now tried the newest version and it's able to unpack everything and display a lot of information

Good points. I must admit that I have not contacted Gigabyte as my experience with such large companies tells me that I will only get elevated blood pressure and absolutely no usable answer. My main concern is not if the BIOS is secure, I&#

In 1998 I installed the NetBus server on computers in the computerlab at my school. I would then run the NetBus client on a computer in a secluded corner, and watch the reaction from people while I messed with their computer. The best react

For a system to be affected, both chipset and CPU have to support vPro. For example, a PC with Core i7-7700 CPU and H270 chipset is not affected because only the CPU has support for vPro, but a PC with Core i7-7700 CPU and Q270 chipset is a

This is a post[0] from one of the project leaders: However, I think we all agree we want the Thunderbird replacement to be a desktop client (plus other platforms like mobile), and based on web technologies, most importantly written in Java

I need to make much more research before I will convince anyone, but as a start I like the philosophy of Devuan very much. I have moved many many servers from Debian to FreeBSD after the announcement of systemd, and this has been great, but

Just saw the video and must say that it has really sparked my interest in Devuan. I heard of Devuan when the fork was first announced but never gave it much notice, now is the first time I try to understand what it really is. It seems like

I want software to be simple, well-engineered and lightweight. In my opinion systemd is the exact opposite of that. I think this page explains it well: http://suckless.org/sucks/systemd In practice I have had many extr

My biggest wish is Ubuntu (and Debian) switching from systemd to any other init system. I know that won't happen but I was asked and that's the only thing I want, whenever you like it or not.

I have been browsing the web without Javascript enabled since 2006. The worst is that once in a while you will click on a link to read some text, but arrive at a completely blank page. Many times this can be solved by disabling CSS for that

I hope this change will result in fewer sites using Disqus, because I really hate that you have to enable Javascript just for reading comments.
