The backend and frontend on the product I work on are like this.

As long as you remember that booleans are not strings and should always be parsed if they are, this won’t be a problem.

I am yet to see a boolean.parse() implementation in the wild that is case sensitive.

Albo will tell 'em to get stuffed.

Linus is Finnish, so it’s euro tech :)

Coins last longer and are easier to work with and count. Things like vending machines are far easier to make deal with coins.

Whatever they do, a shitton of vending machines will need reprogramming.

I would have assumed the hosts file got cached, indexed and re-read if the file changes. Surely it’s not read and parsed for every single hostname lookup.

My adblock list is in BIND9 anyway, so I don’t get this issue. I can see it definitely takes a second or two to parse the whole list on startup.

$5 should be a coin by now. It’s worth less than $2 when we coined it in the 80s.

Leave the battery in and you have a free UPS. Perhaps set it capped at 80% charge to increase its lifespan.

My server is always my old desktop hardware. It’s a 4th-gen i5 with 16GB RAM and it’s keeping up fine. I have thrown quite a lot of work at it too. If you avoid containers, you can serve 20 services off it no problem.

I too, was worried about power costs. Every time I do the maths, the new hardware will be obsolete by the time I make the money back in savings. If you’re concerned about environmental impact, the initial manufacture of hardware does more damage than running it over its lifetime.

Dedicated (1U rackmount) servers are always loud and power-hungry. I they idle at 130w and sound like a hairdryer that’s been left on.

Find secondhand on Facebook marketplace. Dive into an e-waste bin if you have to.

Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality”

Removing Copilot wasn’t unintentional at all. They said so right there in the release notes.

The photoshop page doesn’t even have a download link.

0/10 would not download.

I watching pretty closely too. I took this photo as he got out out of the wreck and walked off the track.

I don’t think this was shown on TV, but there was a cleanup crew sweeping the gravel off turn 6 while the safety car was out. It took them two or three laps to do it.

I was standing here when he hit the gravel. It made a distinct noise before he spun.

I feel bad for Alonso. The track had an absurd amount of gravel sprayed over it and he clipped it slightly and lost it entirely.

This is what I did. Flashed OpenWRT on all devices and enabled the 802.11r stuff. My “mesh” is just multiple APs connected by ethernet and fast BSSID handover.

802.11s is a mesh where it’s all done over Wifi. 802.11r uses ethernet for comms between APs.

So, he’s seeing America go down that path and decided that’s what Australia needs?

You are talking shit.

Australian voting isn’t just mandatory. It’s a two-party preferential system. If you vote for a minor party or independent, your vote ultimately goes toward one of the two largest parties. No vote is a throwaway.

BambuLab A1 Mini. It has a WNIC.

The last task I got from my boss had a Jira ticket headed with “THIS CODE IS BAD. FIX IT BUT DO NOT REFACTOR IT”.

Yeah, I have a reputation.

But it would be better if my coworkers didn’t write garbage.

Blockchain 10 years ago was hyped like AI now.

It would be great if more smart devices had a LAN-only control mode like my 3D printer, TV and AV receiver.

I would be perfectly happy if my iRobot phone app only worked from inside my network.
