YarickR2··on Facebook is nearing a reputational point of no return
Typical case of spitting against the wind
YarickR2··on Why NoSQL
Headline is the question, the answer is "it doesn't"
YarickR2··on How WhatsApp enables multi-device capability
Don't you think many/most users dgaf about e2e ?
YarickR2··on Once an Addict, Always an Addict?
Well, quit smoking cold turkey after doing so for 10 years. No addiction. Quit eating lots of sugar, after doing so for 30 years, replaces with fruits and nuts. No addiction. Can't stop reading books, doing so for 40+ years; addictive as hell. I know iv drug users , they quit and do not look back, so , oaaa does not hold true in general
YarickR2··on Driving 1725km in an electric car in 2 days
Key word here is "probably'. I made multiple 16 hour almost non stop trips through Europe, and it's fine for me. LA to San Jose and back in one day, with useful activity in SJ (working in the data center servicing our colo hardware) is almost a monthly routine now, without the need to book a hotel overnight
YarickR2··on Bring back menus, QR codes are terrible
It's hostile to your experience; others (me included) find QR codes quite handy and saving time and efforts
YarickR2··on “Great resignation” wave coming for companies
You're in for a rudest of all awakenings. You cannot demand salary to be raised without understanding business will be looking elsewhere to fulfill business needs , and will be outsourcing actual labor. Business that can't be outsourced in such conditions (restaurants, hospitality) will be forced to shut down when outsourceable business lays out local workers and replaces them with someone half a world away.
YarickR2··on TC Energy scraps Keystone XL pipeline project after Biden revokes key permit
Yet Russia is the largest oil supplier to the US
YarickR2··on On Smoking
Well, it's probably like this for some, and totally different for others. I smoked for ten+ years, a pack a day, and quit cold turkey in three days, and don't miss it any tiny little bit. Light switch was ripped off the wall, and the place it had been hanging (nice easily reachable convenient place) has been levelled off, painted clean , and is now perfectly empty
YarickR2··on Tesla is found guilty of throttling charging speed
Lime, actually ? Any data confirming that, and any explanation of such a behaviour, if true ? Like, one if my cars has around 300kw engine (400hp). How much I should lose in 10 years, if your claim is true ? And where are the losses ? I can't imagine anything besides loss of compression in cylinders, but that's tiny
YarickR2··on Baltic airlines reroute flights to avoid Belarus airspace
Well, this is fine example of so-called "lie", plain and simple. You may mention it, and often it is being mentioned by all kinds of media. Things that really are frowned upon are highly controversial topics like alleged mass raping by the Red Army in Germany during WW2 . Other than that, no holds are barred, and things are discussed freely; I'd say hot topics are more frequent in Russian media than in the US one ; but clearly hotness and level of controversy is different in two blocs
YarickR2··on The Promise and Perils of Insect Farming
No
YarickR2··on The Case of the 50ms request
Error: <<you-said>>: error within widget contents (Error: cannot find a closing tag for HTML <pid>)

This hints to a possible XSS and/or code injection (not completely quoted input). Input was "strace -s128 -f -p <pid>" , as an answer to "how do you strace server process"

YarickR2··on Chia surpasses 1 exabyte of hard drive space
I stumbled upon an interview with the actual Chia <s>miner</s> farmer, he claims best SSDs will stay healthy for about a year, and having SSD is a must. Plotting should be done on an SSD (preferably as an NVMe), since this process involves creating 300Gb temp file on the same device that will be used to form a plot. Actual interview [0] is in Russian, but I guess you could get a decent Google Translate-processed English translation . [0] https://habr.com/ru/company/ruvds/blog/554046/
YarickR2··on The Sisyphean Task of DNS Client Config on Linux
Why do you need kernel-mode parser for that ? iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to <your internal recursor, sending .internal to authoritative dns server for that zone, and resolving globally available hostnames by itself>
YarickR2··on The Sisyphean Task of DNS Client Config on Linux
Mostly right. Article never mentions /etc/hosts , which is still largely a thing, and works wonders in difficult cases ( and makes other difficult cases much worse to debug)
YarickR2··on The Sisyphean Task of DNS Client Config on Linux
It's unreasonable to bring the whole cow to just get a gallon of milk . Use standalone resolver.
YarickR2··on The Sisyphean Task of DNS Client Config on Linux
This is proper advice. My recursor of choice is pdns-recursor , but bind in forward-only mode with several forwarders for different zones will work too
YarickR2··on The Sisyphean Task of DNS Client Config on Linux
I'd recommend to run it on the same port, but different IP (127.0.1.2 , f.e.) , due to inability of some programs to use non-standard port
YarickR2··on Anatoli Bugorski stuck his head inside a particle accelerator (2020)
My apologies
YarickR2··on A new database gives a sharper picture of homelessness across California
Cardboard is made of wood fibers and adhesive
YarickR2··on A new database gives a sharper picture of homelessness across California
Large pets and drug use in multi-family houses built from cardboard (OSB) ? That's one sure way to increase number of mental health issues among those occupying said multi-family houses
YarickR2··on Twitch will ban users for 'severe misconduct' that occurs away from its site
Does it ("social media influencing elections->government should step in") also apply to traditional media ?
YarickR2··on Anatoli Bugorski stuck his head inside a particle accelerator (2020)
Such episodes weren't unheard of, but they were rare, and occured during forst months of war, because armories close to front lines were bombed or captured, and military factories were in the process of being relocated farther into the country
YarickR2··on I Am Leaving Substack
Is cisphobia a thing these days ?
YarickR2··on Google open-sources the Lyra audio codec
Going as far as using trinary for on the fly data encoding .
YarickR2··on Google open-sources the Lyra audio codec
Original landline audio was/is analog
YarickR2··on Contaminated surface has under 1 in 10k chance of causing an infection
So handshakes are safe and there's no need to perform this awkward elbow bump anymore
YarickR2··on 533M Facebook users' phone numbers and personal data have been leaked online
you're confusing security, privacy, and personal details

Do you compare FB to SS and Stazi ?
