charliedevolve··on OVHcloud fire: SBG2 data center had no extinguisher, no power cut-out
Roughly, "ruled by whatever you have on hand"?
charliedevolve··on We Need Chrome No More
When I upgraded to FF 60.0.2 the energy use on my Mac went off a cliff. Maybe you should try re-creating your FF profile?
charliedevolve··on The Giant Planets in the Solar System Stunted the Growth of Mars
I suppose that means that in our search for potentially life-supporting exoplanets, we ought to place a higher priority on systems with large outer planets.
charliedevolve··on Joplin – A note-taking and to-do app with builds for desktop, mobile, terminal
The web clipper is the killer app for me as well. I've been looking for a replacement for a long time and thus far have found nothing comparable that is open, self-hostable, cross-platform & syncable, and saves web media or pdf natively. I will also kick in to a Patreon if a web clipper is promised.
charliedevolve··on Facebook recruiting and Unix systems
While reading the exchange, I totally thought that you were conversing with a bot. Just scanning the resume for missing items and pointing them out in slightly different ways each time. Kind of disturbing, actually.
charliedevolve··on Lack of Oxford Comma Could Cost Maine Company Millions in Overtime Dispute
That's not what happened in this case. The statute was written in accordance with the style guide, which made it ambiguous, which is why it went to court in the first place.
charliedevolve··on WordPress on .NET
Yes, and look at the avg response times. It looks likely that the webserver can't handle the load. The number of concurrent requests should be limited.
charliedevolve··on Evidence points to another leaker at the NSA
Signed updates aren't secure either. Ask Microsoft.
charliedevolve··on PostgreSQL Scalability: Towards Millions TPS
I think he meant that MySQL is the only supported DB for Wordpress, and while you might be able to get it running on another DB after jumping through some hoops, it's probably not worth the effort.
charliedevolve··on O Reader My Reader – Remembering Google Reader
I also use Selfoss, it does what I need it to. Although the author's decision to override the Space key is odd. I comment that part of the JS and let the aggregated js regenerate to return that behavior to the browser.
charliedevolve··on Snowden Seeks Assurance from Norway It Won’t Extradite Him
Well, based on Assange's history, I wouldn't travel through Swedish territory if I were him.
charliedevolve··on Hidden latency in the Linux network stack
Oh yes, I forgot that tcp/53 is mostly (if not entirely) for zone transfers.
charliedevolve··on Hidden latency in the Linux network stack
Mixing in the source port might be a good way to fix that hash function.
charliedevolve··on Hidden latency in the Linux network stack
Reduce the collisions how much, though? Are you using a port number == N*hashSize+53 for something else a lot? A collision is guaranteed for every connection to port 53, so isn't that a much bigger source of collisions? I think the hash size of 32 isn't the problem. It's the function.
charliedevolve··on Hidden latency in the Linux network stack
Why did increasing the size of the hash help? Wouldn't the %64 (or whatever the new value was) just send all the port 53 sockets into the same bucket again? It seems you'd need a different hash function that provides more uniformity.
charliedevolve··on Atom Reaches 1M Active Monthly Users
A program bundled with every copy of Windows, ever? Yes, that would be silly.
charliedevolve··on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B confirmed, with onboard BT LE and WiFi
I noticed the favicon too. :-)
charliedevolve··on Maru turns Android smartphones into portable PCs
Not so magical. Google "headless vnc server".
charliedevolve··on DigitalOcean lost our server
If you're paying for backups and they get deleted the moment there's an issue with payment, ur doin' it rong. I don't care whatever the TOS says, they're being completely shitty to customers. Sure there should be regular off-site backups. No one is arguing against that. But the fastest restore is usually from the closest source, and that's partly why you'd pay them for it.
