I fail to see what the slopped site adds to the Wikipedia article for the protocol.

Assume there is similar for other countries, though I can't see this being of any use whatsoever.

Re:DIY NAS: 2026 Edition on Thursday November 27, 2025 @06:37AM (#46068280)
I had one of the DXP4800 Plus NASes for about a month before RMAing it.

The CPU would immediately hit 100C with even the slightest whiff of load.

The entire thing was also unstable and would regularly just lock up without any kernel panic or other error message available, could even get kdump to gather anything (I'd binned their dodgy NAS OS and installed Debian).

It also seemed to amplify the noise of the hard drives within. Every thunk of a drive head moving around would be audible from a different room. Not sure how they managed to do that, but it's an acoustic nightmare.

The problem is the continual stream of bullshit emitted from Trump's mouth gets clicks, and as such even little things that don't have any bearing on an international audience are reported heavily.

When Biden was president I barely heard anything about US politics, but with Trump in power it's hard to avoid.

I have been having this exact same issue across multiple websites recently, most of the time it's monospace fonts that have the issue - Github is a nightmare. It only started after I upgraded to Fedora 42.

Haven't got to the bottom of it yet. I set Victor Mono as my Monospace font in Chrome and that has fixed it for things like the HN comment box, for instance, but Github and such still all look weird.

Changing the SSH port also helps cut down the noise, as part of a layered strategy.
As the kids would say, Gitlab CI is the GOAT.
Can I ask - why not Mullvad?
To add to the sibling comment, being stuck in a small, incredibly loud tube usually pinned under some receiver isn't great for claustrophobic patients either.
Re:Helix Editor Release 25.07 Highlights on Tuesday July 15, 2025 @06:49PM (#44576732)
I think I panicked at the amount it has undone and then in my attempt to redo, made a change and got myself into a mess with the history. It was quite early on in my time with it.
Re:Helix Editor Release 25.07 Highlights on Tuesday July 15, 2025 @04:05PM (#44575291)
I really wanted to like Helix, and for the most part did, but there is something about the way undo works that just feels incredibly wrong to me. What it wants to undo doesn't always seem logical and always undoes too much. I've lost work because of it in the past.
Same: uBlock on Firefox.

Arguably a competent person wouldn't have persisted in a role where it was obvious they were not able to make a meaningful difference.

You don't need SteamOS.

Just install Steam on any distribution (I use Fedora) and it all just works like SteamOS - Proton use is transparent.

Crap like this is why I haven't had the Facebook or Instagram apps installed for years. I still have accounts, but I only visit them via the browser.

Re:Ansible: Pure (only in its) pragmatism on Sunday April 20, 2025 @04:46AM (#43742480)
Not low enough, unfortunely.

Ran into this recently with Ansible 2.17 which can no longer fully run (dnf/yum modules don't work) on EL8 targets due to platform-python being 3.6.

2.16 still works but goes EOL in May, when the OS is supported until 2029.

Feels like a very deliberate attempt to get you paying for Red Hat's version. On one hand I can't blame them, but on the other, that's never going to happen at my company.

Did you write your app using an LLM?

It's starting to rub off.

Why? Where does the money come from? What's the product?

If AGI destroys millions of jobs, who is paying for products?
