Usually yes, but i wouldn't mind a single 8TB drive just as a backup location. All my data is already on a nice redundant system at home, but having just 1 extra replica somewhere else would be really good.
I don't know the specifics of the Net6501, but can't you do a foreign debootstrap where you let debootstrap copy all files on a machine that is already installed, then boot it up on the Soekris itself and let it do the rest of its install work over the serial connection?
Yes, but then they have been made explicitly and they show up in a directory listing.
If you would make the filesystem case insensitive ls would only show a.txt, but suddenly a "virtual" A.txt a.Txt etc would also exist.
Now there are some folders on my machine that i would like to be case insensitive like ~/Downloads, never having to check if i downloaded distro.iso or Distro.iso would be nice. But i can see so many more problems with files i did not expect to exist and not showing up in my directory listing suddenly being there when i open something "else".
Yes, because the banks are not the ones who should be protecting the consumer. There are consumer protection laws in place to do the same thing the credit card companies seem to take care of from my POV :)
I've played with both BeOS and Haiku, and I would say Haiku is practically the same UX wise. They have built more tooling etc on Haiku, like a package manager where as far as i remember BeOS was More windows like (download file, install)
Thanks for the hint on replacing the heatsink on the x220. A quick search lead me to a reddit post claiming the heatsink from the x230 can be fitted to a x220. Is this what you did, or did you do something else entirely?
In the article the creator of the font said that they see it as "an echo or a simulacrum", IANAL, but i would say that that recreation is a work of its own under at least copyright law. And ignoring the legal angle for a moment, they did put a lot of work into it, so asking money for it is not wrong imho
But i remember a machine managed by another organisation entirely still whitelisting me to do sudo service invocations. Apparently i could have gotten root on that machine.
Well, yes and no. On modern enough hardware you can do nested virtualisation, so you can run kvm in esxi on hyper-v if you want. Not that it's very usefull, but it is a fun weekend project nonetheless.
Color is not the only variable here, there are many variables in picking a tape for a job. Of course usually just plain tape will do, but the article gave a very good example:
“Imagine you are a stage technician and you need to tape a lamp that gets very hot to a pillar,” Ghouneim says. “If you go to [DIY store chain] Bauhaus, they wouldn’t know what to do. But I can tell you that you need a polyester film with a special type of silicon glue that can stand up to 300 degrees. I have sticky tapes in my store that mere mortals would never dare to dream of.
I may be old, but if you have a network loop inside your own infrastructure wouldn't it be way more sane to handle that on layer 2? for instance with properly configured spanning tree?
Looking at the graphs on github you could say development has slowed down, but i'd like to argue that since there is no commercial incentive anymore the project seems to be much more focussed on stability. And when bugfixing you write less lines while spending the same amount of time.
To me focus on stability is the most important thing in a database so this makes me happy as an ops person, get it stable first and then if needed add more features. though i think rethinkdb is already quite feature complete.
I'm guessing you mean for a work machine as an entertainment machine(like gaming) would easily use more than 256G. My dev machines have 120G ssds and that's enough. The real number crunching happens on a machine that has 2 960G ssds in raid-0. I know, that's not exactly safe, but all the data on there is ephemeral anyway.
I really like the core of gitlab. It's a really good git hosting system that is easy to maintain and work with. My self hosted instance has broken only twice in the last 1.5 years and it was always because of an upgrade and it was always easily fixed.
But now i have to say i'm afraid gitlab is getting bloated. Why not keep the core product as a seperate thing from things like CI? a simple plugin style system would be enough for it to not feel like bloat but feel like extra options.
