That's a shame. I suppose you'll need 4 of them with RDMA to run a 671B, but somehow that seems better to me than trying to run it on DDR4 RAM like the OP is saying. I have a system with 230G of DDR4 RAM, and running even small mo

It’s too hard to determine what pieces of your stack interact with public-facing services, particularly in a monorepo with thousands of developers. The effort involved and the legal risk if you get it wrong makes it an easy nope. Just ban A

Free software basically only exists because it’s subsidized by nonfree software. It also has no original ideas. Every piece of good free software is just a copy of something proprietary or some internal tool.

Why didn't you just fork Chromium and strip out the renderer? This is guaranteed to bitrot when the web standards change unless you keep up with it forever and have perpetual funding. Yes, modifying Chromium is hard, but this seems har

Corps don't want to have to release the source code for their internal forks. They could also potentially be sued for everything they link using it because the linked binaries could be "derivative works" according to a judge

I try to use paredit-mode, but it never seems to integrate well with evil/vim keybindings. I always end up disabling paredit-mode after a few hours. I'll give this a spin.

Props for somehow convincing all the foundation models to generate charts using your markup. It is guaranteed to survive a very long time now.

Tbh the idea of keeping backups defeats the purpose of using RAIDZ (especially RAIDZ3). I don’t want to buy an LTO drive, so if I backup, it’s either buying more HDDs or S3 Glacier ($$$). I like RAIDZ so I don’t have to buy so many drives.

Been running it since rc2. It’s insane how long this took to finally ship.

You need to buy the same exact drive with the same capacity and speed. Your raidz vdev be as small and as slow as your smallest and slowest drive. btrfs and the new bcachefs can do RAID with mixed drives, but I can’t trust either of them wi

GH/CF Pages are only "free" if you have no/minimal traffic. Also, even that free tier will go away if you start popularizing it as a Wordpress alternative or make the barriers to entry lower. Let's keep it free, ple

Unless you're making money off it, $15k + however much you have to spend on installing a new breaker panel is too much to spend on hardware that will be outdated in 2 years. If you're making money off it, but you're still che

There's nothing wrong with SMTP. It's perfect. If your complaint is that it isn't a binary protocol, then you're the type of sender it was designed to keep out.
