Does this result in programs more frequently erroring/crashing because they can't allocate? I don't know how well many of the programs I frequently use on my desktop (Firefox, GNOME desktop, JVM + IntelliJ, Slack, etc.) hand

Same here. I enjoyed Q3A, but I spent so many hours playing TF/MegaTF.

I flew to Belfast in the mid-2000s. I don't remember the security screening as being that unusual (for an American), but the terminal architecture was interesting.

I have 2 Reolink PoE cameras, and they just hopped on the network with DHCP and I used a web browser to configure them. No app needed. I did install the app later, once the cameras were safely on their own VLAN, and I could connect to the

I've never looked at what the Android app is doing on the network, but maybe I should. I usually just keep it open for a few minutes when I'm waiting for a delivery or I hear someone ring the doorbell, so I'm not too worried

I bought Reolink PoE cameras because they support standard RTSP and I could put them on their own VLAN where they can't get to the Internet. I can still use the Reolink app to view them when I'm on the LAN, or through Wireguard w

Same here. I used Debian back in the 90s, switched to Ubuntu for more regular releases, but the ads from apt were the final annoyance. Debian 12 has been excellent.

I hope they stay in it because I love my 1 Gbps Google Fiber service. Install was great, it's super reliable (compared to Spectrum cable Internet), and the price is nice. I don't even own a computer or switch with network ports

Google Fiber gets this right. They say my Internet package will cost $70 and every month the total I get charged is $70.

On my old 2014 Mazda 3, you could SSH in over USB Ethernet as root, and just edit the timeout delay in the console JavaScript files. That was great.

I like having the ABV in big print so I can avoid the super high ones. It's a bonus for me!

My Reddit user experience is similar to yours. I paid for rif years ago because it's simple and fast, and I don't want to see ads. I'll gladly pay Reddit for an ad-free experience if I can use an app that's better than

I use "rif is fun golden platinum" because it's simple and fast and I don't have to look at ads. I'll gladly pay Reddit _and_ rif to keep using that combination without ads. I'm certain whatever I pay Reddit

I share my desktop (single windows and/or whole desktop) at least once every day. Usually with Google Meet in Firefox, but also with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. I don't need remote access to my desktop or laptop (windowing

I'm not disagreeing with any of the technical points in the article. I'm just saying that my experience with Wayland is pretty good. Someone (GNOME? Ubuntu? thousands of generous developers?) is doing all the work to make it wor

So much is written about Wayland not "being ready." I've used it exclusively on my desktop and laptops for... as long as it's been available in Ubuntu. It works fine. I don't have any issues with input methods.

Many years ago, I managed a server room with dedicated cooling on the 4th floor of a 4-story building with a flat roof. One night the temp alarms went off, and when I showed up water was dripping off my overhead Liebert unit and onto the r

I'm "letting" semantics shape my reality? The war metaphor for drug policing was chosen 9 years before I was born. It's been used my entire life to normalize the violence and societal costs associated with criminalizin

How did they decide that this data doesn't need to be protected? If it's PHI (at the covered entity) and accessed through their BAA, it's still PHI and deserves protections. Were they willfully ignoring their obligations?

You can't win a war against something that can't die or surrender, so you can't win a war against drugs. You can win a war against people. Is that how the US should solve its health problems? With war against its own peopl

Which MITM attack has a government used to read your Signal messages? I've heard people allude to government breaks of Signal for years, but always without evidence. Surely some Signal messages have been recovered from devices in the

I did a quick search for my username, and to my surprise I found that I submitted both a trivial patch and a new splashscreen image for The Gimp 1.1 back in 1999! I would have never remembered that on my own. Lots of fun!

I bought a pricy 1999 PowerBook G3 to run Linux, and it was an excellent little computer. At the time there wasn't much out there with the same build quality. 1024x768 display, built-in Ethernet, and a SCSI port! I mapped a couple o

The Brie I buy is made in France, so I'll leave it up to you guys to convince them that it's not "real."

I buy French Brie at US grocery stores many times a year. Did you mean to say it's one of the types that isn't illegal?

About 6 years ago, Google Fiber buried fiber along several streets that surround my South Durham neighborhood, but I couldn't order it until this year. I had it installed in April and it's been excellent. The day before my instal
