idk what the official pronunciation is, but i say “gee lib cee” and “clang” (like the onomatopoeia)

DaPorkchop_,

I use a PowerEdge T620 as my daily driver, let me assure you the CPU fans at full speed can be heard clearly through 3 closed doors :P

DaPorkchop_,

enjoy running millions of dollars of sensitive equipment in salty air

An artifact of the Great Internet Meme Reposting industry

DaPorkchop_,

Displaying raw HTML? Sure a fair number of people can pull that off. Actually rendering HTML+CSS with all their many features and a performant JS engine is many orders of magnitude more complex though, which is why there are basically only three browser engines (two if you count Chromium as a WebKit fork)

DaPorkchop_,

Of course, but the original commentor’s claim was that writing a web browser is trivial, not that compiling an existing web browser with some minimal changes is trivial.

DaPorkchop_,

Virtually all modern x86 chips work that way

DaPorkchop_,

Personally I’d be somewhat nervous using dd to edit parts of a text file, but you do you :)

For all the doubters that Linux gaming is smoother and faster. (video.hardlimit.com)

A video for any doubters that Linux gaming is better than Windows in which it DESTROYS Windows by 25% in AC Odyssey. To put it in perspective, 25% improvement is like getting a new GPU. You can save $600 and instead use something like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for free....

DaPorkchop_,

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, as a graphics programmer AMD’s proprietary drivers are unquestionably the buggiest which I have to work with on a regular basis. Seemingly innocent stuff which works perfectly fine on every other vendor (and on the same GPU using the open-source drivers) will cause the proprietary drivers to break horribly or run slower by multiple orders of magnitude.

DaPorkchop_,

American who’s moved to Switzerland here, the number of times I’ve had friends/relatives ask me “How’s life in Sweden?” is quite frankly astounding

DaPorkchop_,

Sure, but unless they can get the engines started back up in time it’s unlikely to be a pretty landing unless there’s a convenient runway within gliding distance.

DaPorkchop_,

I, too, eagerly await the release of phones with a 1200km range.

DaPorkchop_,

My (relatively small) refrigerator consumes around 170kWh annually.

According to another commenter further down, a pro cyclist can put out 300W continually. That works out to about 566.6 hours, or 23.6 days of continuous cycling just to power the refrigerator for a year.

I am not a pro. The last time I seriously tried to use an exercise bike, I was able to keep a steady ~110W over 45 minutes (which left me drenched in sweat and feeling jittery for quite a few hours after the fact). That works out to 1417 hours, almost exactly 2 months, which I would need to spend on the bike at my absolute limit per year to keep my refrigerator running.

And of course, none of this is taking losses in energy transmission/storage into account. In short, I don’t see this catching on any time soon.

DaPorkchop_,

they’re still pretty RISC, using fixed-width instructions and fairly simple encoding. certainly a hell of a lot simpler than the mess that is x86-64

DaPorkchop_,

So… they’ll probably add some slower, larger-capacity memory chips on the side, and then they’ll need to copy data back and forth between the slow off-chip memory and the fast on-chip memory… I’m pretty sure they’ve just invented cache

DaPorkchop_,

That said, there are “active” USB extension cables which draw current from the power lines and use it to boost the signal along the data lines

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

DaPorkchop_,

Wait until they hear about DNS root servers

DaPorkchop_,

Michelangelo’s David is a well-known marble statue which was carved using a chisel.

  • modern NVMe SSDs have much more bandwidth than that, on the order of > 3GiB/s.
  • even an antique SATA SSD from 2009 will probably have much lower access latency than sending commands to a remote device over an ethernet link and waiting for a response
DaPorkchop_,

Well, assuming you’ve already gone through the effort to write a custom kernel module to offload your swap pages to Google Drive, it doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch to have it encrypt the data before transmitting it.

DaPorkchop_,

My point was more that the SSD will likely have lower latency than an Ethernet link in any case, as you’ve got the extra delay of data having to traverse both the local and remote network stack, as well as any switches that may be in the way. Additionally, in order to deal with that bandwidth you’ll need to kit out not only the local machine, but also the remote one with expensive 400GbE hardware+transceivers, plus switches, and in order to actually store something the remote machine will also have to have either a ludicrous amount of RAM (resulting in a setup which is vastly more complex and expensive than the original RAIDed SSDs while offering presumably similar performance) or RAIDed SSD storage (which would put us right back at square one, but with extra latency). Maybe there’s something I’m missing here, but I fail to see how this could possibly be set up in a way which outperforms locally attached swap space.

DaPorkchop_,

Yes, your data has been transferred to the great hard drive in the sky.
