Only 57 synths? :( No automatic generation?

Same for me. To avoid the problem I'm using tmux inside SSH session.

But have you tried creating one thousand of OS threads and measuring the actual memory usage? If I recall correctly I read some article where it was explained that threads in Linux are not actually claiming their 8MB each so literally. I need to recheck that later.

By the way, for anyone interested in the "real" keyboards – welcome to the r/MechanicalKeyboards and QMK firmware, you will not want to buy Cooler Master after getting familiar with these resources.

Looks like there is coin miner on the page because of 100% CPU usage.

Go right to GitHub instead: https://github.com/Isaacdelly/Plutus

It's harder to find suitable wallpaper for HiDPI display.

But if serious, there may be some problems with adapting specific software to run HiDPI.

Re:Please Stop Using Local Storage on Sunday January 28, 2018 @03:47PM (#16253367)
OMG, he tell us to not store anything security-critical in Local Storage but advice to store encrypted session in Cookies instead!

He says that any JS code on the page can access Local Storage but he doesn't mention that Cookies can be accessed by JS as well as Local Storage. And also, Cookies will be sent with each request event if request target is an image or a CSS, when with Local Storage you can decide which data should be sent with each individual request.

He says that Local Storage can store strings only, but he doesn't tell that Cookies is even worse than this - it's JUST ONE string at all.

After that he tells about Cookie-related CSRF attacks prevention which not needed with Local Storage.

Doesn't he contradict himself?
