Like a highway brake failure ramp, you have room for handling failures gentler. So services don't just get outright killed. If you monitor your swap usage, any usage of swap gives you early warning that your services…
If there isn't a way to get pass more than a few days, regardless of any choices made, the one lesson simulator is giving is "there's no way an autistic developer can last a few days without burning out". Or from a…

There's also "diskonaut", a TUI which displays the output like the treemap of WinDirStat. Bonus is that the display is incremental and updates as it scans everything, so you don't need to wait for the complete scan to…
For my daily use, Firefox needs built-in passkey support. Can't switch for all uses yet. In the meantime, I'm running both.
It's from Diamond Age, alluding to a character (YT) that was from Snow Crash.
Whoa, another (ex?) jed user in the wild. I still install it on new servers, and that was how other admins know if I was ever there. Smaller and faster than installing emacs.
NNCP (Bellard's prelude to ts_zip, using similar techniques) is not qualified for Hutter Prize, btw, because hardware and speed limitations specified by Hutter Prize. "Must run in ≲50 hours using a single CPU core and…
There's Fabrice Bellard's textsynth server. https://bellard.org/ts_server/ No open source though.
I guess that's why the .zip format chucks its catalog index at the end of the archive. But it's still unnatural to use in a streaming format like tapes though.
Just a separate rules file that blocks .in and other popular domains for India will probably work just as well.
Elden Ring, for one.
You have some of the empty lat, lon data (e.g. AWS GovCloud (US)) interpreted as at (lat,lon) = (0,0), putting them incorrectly on Null Island.
One new way for swatting. Send or otherwise inject problematic images to the target, but make sure the target can't see it (image too small, part of larger collage), but their device does. The target gets flagged by…

I'm not quite sure mmap is such a good idea if you're trying to have more low-level control over performance. Weird Carmack advocating this, because you can't really guarantee the latency of grabbing any resource if you…
Speaking of Hugo Award, all these reminds me too much of Iain Banks's The Player of Games. An outsider, new to the game, had managed to pick up and challenge top players successfully in a venerated game. The reactions…
I wonder how hard it is to cause a very spiky, targeted temporary network outage (DDoS, etc) and use it to correlate with which Dark web sites relies on which physical network. With enough random events, it's probably…
