Just recently there was a guy on the NANOG List ranting about Anubis being the wrong approach and people should just cache properly then their servers would handle thousands of users and the bots wouldn’t matter. Anyone who puts git online has no-one to blame but themselves, e-commerce should just be made cacheable etc. Seemed a bit idealistic, a bit detached from the current reality.
though you’d need to supply power
Go for really old ones with the crank handle for ringing. Like from army surplus and you don’t need the power :-)
We played around with these for a day in the army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldtelefon_50 when you crank the handle while your friend is still putting down the line you can shock them.
Pre-UEFI they were fighting over the boot sector, sure, but now that everything is more well defined, and every OS can read the FAT32 ESP? Never seen it…
At worst the UEFI boot entry is replaced. There are some really shitty UEFI implementations out there which only want to load \efi\microsoft\boot\bootx64.efi or \efi\boot\bootx64.efi, or keep resetting you back to those.
Assuming you were dumped into Windows suddenly, you can check if you have the necessary boot entries still with bcdedit and its firmware option
bcdedit /enum firmware
If you just have a broken order you can fix it with
bcdedit /set {fwbootmgr} displayorder {<GUID>} /addfirst
If you actually need a new entry for Linux it’s a bit more annyoing, you need to copy one of the windows entries, and then modify it.
bcdedit /copy {<GUID1>} /d "Fedora"
bcdedit /set {<GUID2>} path \EFI\FEDORA\SHIM.EFI
bcdedit /set {fwbootmgr} displayorder {<GUID2>} /addfirst
Where GUID1 is a suitable entry from windows, and GUID2 is the one you get back from the copy command as the identifier of the new entry. Of course you will have to adjust the description and the path according to your distro and where it puts its shim, or the grub efi, depending on which you’d like to start.
Edit: Using DiskGenius might be a little more comfortable.
I am not a computer science major, I studied linguistics.
We’re not falling for your deceit, Noam Chomsky. You probably used some context-free grammar to hack the website.
lol, the “j l’ai lu” domain is pretty funny
Actually Solaris is still squirming while the first shovels of dirt are being heaped on.
I scoured their website and they completely fail to explain what they are actually doing on a technical level. I assume it would probably be a GPON network, just based on the offered speed. Not the best type of fiber connectivity, but probably pretty normal for the USA market.
That said, single mode fiber is absolutely the way forward and if you replace the devices on the end it can scale almost indefinitely. So I would jump on the occasion of having some laid to your house.
They don’t have IPv6 and they don’t offer static IPs which both kind of sucks, but it might be acceptable: https://support.surfinternet.com/surf-broadband-fiber-faqs No data caps is good at least.
Concerning your question about the markings, they spell out their process on this page, it does include marking existing utilities: https://surfinternet.com/fiber-optic-installation-process/
For me things actually became easier when I got myself a native Linux install instead of Windows. But I guess it depends on your college.
Also Switzerland here, adding some more info:
The minimum by law is 20 days in general, 25 days for people under 20 years of age. But getting 25 days independent of age is pretty standard at least for office jobs. At my workplace I get 25, people over 50 years of age get 5 days extra.
Also by law two weeks of vacation are to be taken en bloc., so technically that’s not allowed hubobes ;-) but I have not yet heard of any enforcement of this for smaller places. I have a friend who works for a bank, they are apparently very strict in forcing their employees to take two weeks en bloc each year.
Some collective employment agreements for industrial sectors mandate 25 days and mandate an increase for people over 50, but I don’t know for which sectors.
Ah and as for sick days, by law 3 weeks in your first year, and longer later. There are a few scales for the exact increase over time, but just as an example the one from Basel is 2 months starting in your second year, 3 months starting year 4, 4 months starting year 11.
Unless your contract has an insurance for sickness, which work a little differently, there it’s like 80% of your salary for 720 days within 900 days. With various little details, like nothing for the first 3 days, or burden of proof from day x, or sometimes 100% instead of 80%. Depends on the insurance, but it has to be good enough to be considered equal to the above mentioned minima by law.
The issue is I don’t want to
Does “tabling” mean putting a subject on the table or taking it off?
Depends on if you follow the British meaning or the US American one.
In corpo speak. I’ve seen it used as a synonym for “energy.”
Wow that’s bad. You have my pity
The size difference is not significant. This is about the maintenance burden. When you need to change some of the code where CPU architecture specific things happen you always have to consider what to do with the code path or the compiler flags that concern 486 CPUs.
Here is the announcement by the maintainer Ingo Molnar where he lists some of the things he can now remove and stop worrying about: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250425084216.3913608-1-mingo@kernel.org/
They are so often stateful and fall over when some scanner comes by, or if a light DNS DoS attack happens, compromising the entire access link, when the scanned systems or the DNS server weren’t even bothered by the amount of requests.
They introduce weird unexpected restrictions, like preferring to blackhole our customers traffic rather than accepting some asymmetric routing. And then we get blamed for their setup, which they don’t even know.
They ossify protocol development in general, requiring things like header encryption in QUIC to force them to ignore things that aren’t their business anyway.
They are apparently also expensive as hell, multiple customers have declined upgrades because they don’t have fast enough firewalls and not enough budget to buy faster ones.
Those are the ones that come to mind right now. There are also occasional bugs that make our or our customers lives difficult, but I can’t recall a clear one at the moment.
Firewalls in general.
It’s quite cruel of that compiler not being happy until you’re exhausted.
Or they could just have been infected. Especially the ones on Windows 8, which has been EoL for over a year.
Hey OP, regarding Minecraft: It’s a Java program that uses OpenGL for rendering. Therefore it’s not a Windows game, but inherently cross platform. Here’s the official .deb package https://launcher.mojang.com/download/Minecraft.deb
No not really. I have the bedtime mode set up the way I want it with the necessary exceptions. Airplane mode would mess that up.
