Fedora made the switch in F40. Arch has it as a todo.

Same here.

I can imagine growers don’t like them as much though, despite the lack of patents and trademarks. In Europe they were abundant and amazing quality last year, lasting into February. This harvest their flavour wasn’t there, many were mealy, and they were unavailable within a month. Their worst year as far as I can remember.

That’s the best one of the lot. "Dein Name ist ungültig", "Your name is invalid", written with the informal word for "your".

L with stroke is the english name for it according to wikipedia by the way, not my choice of naming. The transliterated version is not great, considering how far removed from the proper pronunciation it is, but I’m sort of used to it. The almost correct one above was jarring enough that I wanted to point it out.

The name of the city has the L with stroke (pronounced as a W), so it’s Łódź.

I think the source of confusion is the use of “at the time” in your previous comment, which is talking about events in WW2, when the article discusses events in 1914 with no reference to 1940.

The cause in 1940 was apparently an artillery duel between German and British troops, which is on a different level from purposefully setting fire to a library within an occupied city, even if the result is equally terrible.

To be sure, the burning of the library happened during the early days of WW1, which had neither nazis, gestapo, nor Nuremberg trials.

Hardware Unboxed has the interesting theory that the I/O die, which is unchanged between Zen4 and Zen5, is a significant bottleneck especially for the latter. The 3D v-cache would then ease the pressure there, and so see the cpu get an extra boost beyond that expected from increased cache.

The SSL error happens because the server sends a certificate which is only valid for the www subdomain. So this link should work:

Agreed. Beekeepers have gathered a lot of experience. Is some of it based on incorrect understanding of science? Sure. Would they have noticed if insulation was a deciding factor in loss of colonies? Absolutely.

I will say that this article together with one from earlier this year [1] put into question the benefit of cold storage.

The 2008 quench happened at the other side of the ring. (Sector 3-4 then, sector 7-8 now.) The physics run was going very smoothly up to now [0]. Last year part of the machine (RF) had to be brought to room temperature as well, after a cooling tower fault, and there was no beam for four weeks. I get the impression that this will take longer, but I hope not by much.

The ability exists. Such constraints aren't used very often for root certificates though, as far as I can tell. The Japanese Government CA which was mentioned in the discussions around TrustCor was constrained to .go.jp.

My parents used to own a LaserJet 4M plus, which had PostScript built in. I played around with it once I figured out the possibilities.

It had all of 2MB memory originally, which was a real bottleneck in its later days. I did add 16MB at some point, to increase its life. From then on, when using PostScript instead of PCL for printing, it was clearly CPU-bound.

I’m still conflicted about them taking it to recycling even though it worked reliably. It was over 20 years old.

OCSP is done over plain HTTP (for obvious reasons), so the OCSP provider doesn’t have exclusive access to this data. There is not much value there for DigiCert and others when every ISP can potentially sell the same data.

OCSP stapling helps maintain privacy, so eg. ESNI isn’t completely pointless when stapling is used.

I can confirm this issue. It’s related to Fedora’s crypto-policies which are more restrictive than Firefox. In this case it seems to be caused by the SHA1 DigiCert root in your cert chain, not by your nginx settings.

Edit to add: It’s possible to run update-crypto-policies --set=DEFAULT:SHA1 and avoid enabling the whole LEGACY policy

Or sea planes. That was what I was asked for most recently.

Interesting question, I did some searching. I guessed they might have done such research with fruit flies [1], but I can only find one plan to try it for nine generations [2]. I suspect that project never launched because of the end of the space shuttle program. I can’t find a relevant paper by the mentioned researchers in any case. All the other Drosophila research seems limited to a single generation in space.

(It seems like C. Elegans has not been studied in space to the same extent as fruit flies.)

The Airbus factory has had a museum nearby since 2015, Aeroscopia [1]. It hosts two Concordes, among others (like the Super Guppy [2]). It has a pre-production Concorde (F-WTSB), used for test flights, and an Air France one (F-BVFC). It’s worth a visit for any aviation enthusiast.

You used to be able to go inside the test flight one, but it’s a cramped space, so things might be different while covid regulations are in force.

I’d suggest using chronyd for anyone planning to set up a new time server this way. Unfortunately it’s not covered by guides as extensively as ntpd, but it’s less error prone in my experience.

I’ve had a buildroot image on a Pi 4 for over a year now, and it appears to be accurate to within 10 microseconds.

You’re not wrong, anything older than a Pi 4 is a bit flawed as an accurate time server. Even the Pi 4 needs a stable temperature or its clock speed will be unstable, as there’s no temperature adjusted clocksource, it just uses cpu.

On older Pi versions USB is run in kernel instead of on chip, causing thousands of cpu interrupts per second. Also its on board ethernet is run through USB.

I use uBlock Origin with default third-party blocking, so I see such trends happening as I browse. The strong consolidation on fastly feels like a recent development (last year, at a guess). Before that it was edgekey for a while.

Maybe we need a crawler that keeps track of the hidden centralisation of the web. Or is someone doing that already?

Cloudflare, AWS, fastly, etc. It’s not quite all eggs in one basket, but the amount of baskets is small, and the amount of eggs in them is growing. This is a timely reminder of that.

The salt compartment is usually on the floor of the dishwasher. The salt is used to soften the water. Not directly, but as the source of sodium ions for an ion-exchange resin. [1]

It’s not the same as the rinse-aid, which reduces the surface tension of the water so droplets won’t stay on the dishes (i.e. a surfactant).

The genocidal aspect of this story makes it a lot worse, but the 20th century catholic church has form on this.

From the paper:

For the high-magnification objective we find M = 254×. For the low-magnification objective we find M = 27×.

I only see one claim backed by experiment: “The ferret-experiment shows that the measuring of—and then storage of—a maximally-simple experiential-fact (the duration of the interval between two simple events) occurs within a single huge cell (neuron) in the cerebellum. It also shows that subsequent single-spike input to this cell triggers the reading-out of this memory into a simple behavior: an appropriately-timed blink.”

The huge cell is a Purkinje cell. I don’t remember much about neuroscience, so I hope someone else can elaborate.

Later on the interview suggests that every single neuron could store megabytes of information, but this seems more like conjecture to me.

I’ve read “Mao’s Great Famine” by Frank Dikötter, but it’s been a while. Wikipedia [1] captures every contributing cause, but I’d emphasise the illusion of superabundance, which was essentially local government exaggerating the size of their harvests to make themselves look good to Beijing. Their province then had to export the entire harvest to cover their lies. Incompetent government was the major cause either way.

I’m sure that’s true. I’ve only used this for Rpis, which have it as a neat pull-based capability. Just add a subdirectory with the right name for each one in the tftp root.
