I've not found this at all -- PXE "just works" on legacy boot or UEFI for me. I've used it for years to install hosts via Foreman (https://theforeman.org/), as well as for personal stuff on my home network, and it's so much better than getting people to use USB sticks or whatever else!

You can also do things like boot with PXE (Legacy or UEFI PXE boot) to get a small image like iPXE, and then have iPXE do the http boot part. This means that you have an extra shim but you can pull larger images than TFTP is any good for.

TFTP is also UDP and I don't think it is pipelined, so it's all req->ack->req->ack, so any additional latency hits it hard too.

I've had the same experience of looking up and finding an old answer from someone I knew, but one that I made _myself_ for the exact same problem I've just hit again years later... :D

Oracle Linux already builds from RHEL sources, so that could be an option.

Edit: There's also Rocky Linux already : https://news.itsfoss.com/rocky-linux-announcement/

Isn't that the point of such fixes?

(And also why a lot of people thought that the Y2k but was over-hyped, when there was a lot of background work which fixed the problems so few people noticed when it did come to roll-over time)

"Better than Lotus Notes" is not a high bar.

> I personally hate working from home, and will only do it if there are reasons I can't work somewhere else, such as needing to be home for a plumber or being sick.

Why are you working if you're sick?

> ...like an android phone. You might get OS updates or not but mostly whatever OS version it starts with will stay on it for life.

Not all Android phones are like that -- what are you buying which doesn't get any OS updates?

Be extremely careful if soldering Lithium-Ion batteries together, as getting them too hot (which isn't very hot compared to soldering!) can easily cause them to burst into flames or explode...

> It's sad if different trusts have such varied support.

Different trusts in the NHS have wildly differing support, policies, physio, mobile apps, leaflets and documentation, etc etc. It makes the "N" in NHS a bit odd, and surely is tremendously inefficient!

(Having said that, and having recently had a baby the NHS and their staff have all been amazing!)

Or turn it off at the socket so it's not even on standby, using (a small amount of) power all the time?

> Every new parent seems to report that they basically don't sleep for a year or two

I'm a new parent, and I'm pleased to say that our 5-week-old is sleeping really, really well. I was not expecting this after all the horror stories others told... I did, however, feel like I aged about 10 years in the first week as my other half had an emergency C-section and I had to do everything for both her and the baby.

Nothing like getting thrown in at the deep end! :D

But burning a lot of natural gas instead. Still fossil fuel!

> I wish they had an option to show open tabs list in a docked on the side.

Vertical tabs extensions exist on Firefox, and are one of the major reasons I have stuck with Firefox for a long while.

edit -- I use this one : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vertical-tabs...

> e.g. Labor party imposing a death tax.

This was advertised on Australian radio before the elections by other parties too, so it's not exclusive to Facebook.

I do something similar (ripping to FLAC, putting on a tiny fileserver, except mine is an Antec ISK-300 with a single 6TB disk and external backups), and then use Logitech Media Server to serve it out to other machines.

"Squeezer" is excellent as a remote control for this, and I just have a stream URL I point players at to all play the same thing, or they can use DLNA and slurp music from the archive.

Works nicely, but does require more setup than most users will want to do when they can just plug in a "smart" speaker and stream from Spotify or whatever.

Most places (especially where they have enough money to be buying Cisco Nexus 9k kit) will want some sort of change management, not the vendor to be making arbitrary changes to their critical infrastructure.

Also, given the number and severity of these sort of vulnerabilities in recent times, do you want to give the same companies remote access to your infrastructure as well? :)

On Android recently I've been more tempted to just use "termux" and to run emacs and org-mode locally, using git to sync files back-and-forth.

The main pain there is going to be the key combos required, which aren't exactly mobile-friendly, but they can be reconfigured...

If it's those sort of numbers then that would be fine - in everything I've read about this (which isn't a great deal) it's been very unclear as to how often such pulling back of power would be used. :)

Would be interesting to know if those tapes have Teletext info which can also be recovered, as well as the news video:

(Not sure whether this works in the US, as I'm in the UK)

Goodreads requires all books/shelves are publically-visible, which you may not want.

Disadvantage to the end user of the car: Cycling the batteries more to do this will shorten their useful life.

Just grabbing it to elsewhere and searching there would be trivial, so I'd expect not.

I use something similar but offlineimap/notmuch/emacs, and it's the happiest I've been with email too.

I previously used elm, mutt, sup, and probably a few other clients, but none of them felt as configurable and complete as my current set-up.

The libraries you use with SBCL are likely to be source rather than binary, unless you mean via FFI to (likely) C libraries.

Quicklisp[1] has made a massive difference to how easy it is to download and manage sets of dependencies in a Lisp project. Try it out :)

Has anyone tried org-sync[1] and could comment on how well this works, and whether there are more backends hidden away elsewhere (e.g. for gitlab?)

(Although if I'd replied with this at the time rather than accidentally having the tab open for 2 days it would have helped ;)

df shows both used and available space on a whole disk/device.

du is for space used by particular files/directories.

> With code, less is more, less code to do the same means easier to read, easier to maintain, less bugs.

Whilst this can be true, it's not always the case. Squashing code down to fewer lines can also mean doing something in a way that is much harder to understand or hides bugs behind complex subtleties in the code. Obviously it's a balance, and "lines of code" is, as usual, a poor metric of code complexity and readability.

Yet you can take those on a plane but not a >100ml bottle of water.
