Great idea, pity about the slop.
Re:How to Turn Anything into a Router on Tuesday March 31, 2026 @04:16AM (#47584200)
I am more curious that OpenWrt doesn't set these (demux) settings. It feels a bit like looking for advice on ZFS tuning and finding out 10 years later that what you were told was completely wrong.
When we need to archive GitHub when it shuts down, I wonder if I'll need to exclude 30 billion lines of slop.
Re:Wise refuses to let us access our $60k AUD on Wednesday May 14, 2025 @03:56AM (#43982047)
Yeah just let me buy my coffee while travelling... waiting for confirmation... sorry still waiting. Shit, I missed my flight (who don't accept cryptocurrency)
$200-300 in Australia, so I'll just keep hoping emulation improves.
I dunno, software seems to be getting worse, hardware is getting more expensive and both Microsoft and Apple are distracted by AI, not to mention NVIDIA who seem to have bet the farm on Deus Ex Shovel
Imagine if we put this kind of optimisation effort into something worthwhile.
lol. lmao even.
Those Linux systems that aren't getting updates must be the ones sending Mirai to my Linux systems, which are getting updates (and also Mirai, although it won't run because it's the wrong architecture).

No malware? Only if you have your head in the sand.

Why? With what proof? With what statistics?
Would you like to elaborate somewhat?

What other countries?

What problem?

Re:No more boot loader: Please use the kernel instead on Monday July 08, 2024 @08:36PM (#40911387)
I'll bite.

Official documentation from who? For which audience? For which use case?

Making a bootable image for what kind of system? My Ryzen PC needs a very different image to my aarch64 router.

Where have you not seen info on "installing a bootloader to a target disk"? This is what every distro installer does - this can range from putting a kernel in an EFI partition and setting a variable to building a uboot image and setting variables in NVRAM

Lastly, what do you class as a "decent installer process"? Things have moved on from Slackware's installer. You've got everything from the Debian installer (which hasn't changed much) to Anaconda (let's run the install UI in a browser) to Ubuntu Server (everything is a container!) and many things in between.

I think the protocols for those are reasonably well understood, but e.g. you can only print via USB from a Mac, Bluetooth was only on a phone AFAICR
You don't need the AI generated picture at the top of that article.

Ew.
ITT: people repeatedly making the same mistakes, misunderstanding archival and also ignoring glaring problems with converted output
With what command line?

Figuring out what to ask qemu to do (without libvirt!) is half the battle.

(Thanks though, I have something to play with tonight)

Windows ping.exe supports both.

I have had IPv6 on every ISP I have been on since at least 2012 (http://web.archive.org/web/20120217204742/https://www.intern...)

It's fine. The only breakages I've had are when the ISP's v4 DHCP goes down (v6 websites keep working) or when IPv6 delegation fails somehow and my machines lose v6 (v6 only stuff breaks).

Your mobile phone probably already uses IPv6 (especially if you use VoLTE) and it's fine, too.

What tech do you use?
I currently get 600 using an Intel AX201 card and 900 from a better router.
You are probably in a better place than me to really push them on Linux support.

Mediatek's Linux support seems reasonable, but I've only had experience running the AP cards in OpenWRT, not the little baby client cards.

Try the card first but yes, you can do that.
Re:Not setting up Find My bricked my MacBook on Thursday October 12, 2023 @11:42PM (#37866349)
Apple creating e-waste like this should negate every single claim they make about environmental friendliness.
Is there any hope for the wifi bugs mentioned in the article?

I was trying to avoid reviews like this because I didn't want to be thinking about all the problems instead of looking forward to my new laptop.

I am now wondering if I should have gone Intel.

The installer is built for the Media Creation Tool, which handles this.
