There's really two ways, the other is to manage your own CA. But it seems like every browser/piece of software/etc out there is hell bent on making that as difficult as possible. It'd also be nice if it was easier to…
Pfsense or OPNsense can handle ~5 gbps routing/firewall on a low power AMD or Intel embedded chip. My now old router Pfsense box I got off Aliexpress can comfortably handle 2.5 gbps on an ancient Celeron J4125 running…
Damnnnnn that's cool but ouch. I know you're really buying the whole platform and capability and flight-worthy certification but $2K for what is basically a wifi dongle still makes my head spin.
It was still small enough to be relevant but yes. The level of integration Valve can do with the steam box probably actually lowers the total cost for them a bit versus just comparing against individual component cost,…
Linus Tech Tips did a video a few days ago where they built a DIY Steam box for the same price. What they came up with was a decent improvement on the GPU but not a massive upgrade. Kinda suggests Valve isn't…
To be fair, "boffin" usually implies someone has relevant (usually scientific) expertise, but nerd doesn't. Henry Legg has the relevant credentials to give weight to his claims, he's not just some random basement nerd.
Never went away, Linux is now the primary target platform for OpenZFS (which is basically synonymous with ZFS these days). TrueNAS/iXSystems (probably the main commercial company using ZFS) moved from FreeBSD to Linux.…
I've bought a good bit of 10Gtek stuff over the years. Not sure to what extent they actually are designing their products vs. just acting as a reseller (I think the latter), but either way everything I've bought from…
Oh man, tasks isn't compatible yet? Thanks for mentioning that, I guess I'll wait a bit to upgrade.
This also got me on my partner's Macbook. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why I could access my local services on (Safari? I forget which one actually worked) but not on Firefox/Chrome.
The specs are underwhelming, but I could see the value to a beginner being in the software that accompanies it tightly integrated with parts kits and instructions. I'd honestly prefer to see a logic analyzer instead of…
Yeah, I certainly have my complaints about systemd but the parent's point is undermined by the fact that cron still works. If you prefer it, carry on I doubt seriously it's going anywhere. I still do sometimes.
Yeah, one of my bigger complaints especially on the Nano was the GPU only had really limited model support (iirc, mostly tflite but maybe I'm misremembering) and it sounds like the newer ones are more normal. That and…
Nvidia's software platform for the whole Jetson series was, at least in my experience, absolutely awful on the Jetson Nano and Orin boards I worked on. Has that improved at all? I did not appreciate that the only option…
Rocky's docs are also really nice. They aren't as thorough as RedHat's, but they're much more readable and concise, and tend to be written for a less enterprise-y audience.
I agree, it's far from pointless. The 538 model is arguably close to the best you can do considering how difficult the task is, but it's important to understand it as purely a reflection of the polling data (and 538's…
The real caveat is that 538 was a Monte Carlo model, and is only as good as its inputs. "Here's what the current spread in polling numbers is *given our model and the current polling and their reported uncertainties.*"…
Compact HF/shortwave radios with transmit capability exist, but they're pretty expensive and are generally definitely portable but not quite handheld. The biggest user of such equipment is the military, so a lot of the…
Analog handhelds are still abundant, they've gotten smaller and more efficient but older ones are still basically just as good as new. IMO digital handhelds are superior, but digital protocols are much more fragmented…
You only really get attention from the FCC if you interfere with some other service, especially broadcast or emergency communications frequencies. Grumpy Hams will also hunt you down sometimes, but only if you're…
I always thought WASTE was so cool, but my family was pretty late get off of dialup to be able to actually use it. Sounds like it's still around in some form, do people actually use it nowadays?
This was always the dream for 3D printing, heck going back to classic Star Trek replicators and other science fiction. Granted, even with these models available it's kinda difficult to print large organic shapes like…
The concern with this law is that it's constructed in such a way that the only way to comply may end up being for VPN providers to ban Utah. Though that's not the same as Utah banning VPNs since private VPNs would still…
It's 4x faster? If you have a storage server, its easy to exceed 2.5 or even 5 gigabit with SATA spinning disks if they're in an array. 10 gig is fast enough to work with network storage like it's local: do your work,…
Even CAT5e can do 10 Gbps if you do a decent job making the cable, even though it's out of spec. 6A can do it easily, in spec. I used it in my previous home. I much prefer to use fiber, but copper with good old RJ45…
