doublepg23··on An open DNS recursive service for free security and high privacy
Yup, I get 1-3ms to 1.1.1.1 and 18-20ms to Google from a semi-local fiber provider.

Definitely blew my mind coming from the ~20ms DOCSIS adds.

UniFi and Cloudflare have interesting design philosophies where every time I load them up there's an entirely new experience waiting for me.
doublepg23··on 'People are going to get screwed' Pennsylvania voters unite against data centres
> Data centres are hardly new

A commenter below quotes a 73% annual growth rate vs. 23% over the prior decade.

You don't think that'd have an effect on people's perception?

Many things divide us here: Wawa or Sheetz; cheesesteaks or pierogi; Eagles or Steelers; but I very glad we could come together on this.

TBF KaiOS had a measure of success but it is now on life support.

The fact is Android could be scaled down way better than KaiOS could be scaled up.

(and you could just wait for the perf/$ to continue to decrease).

doublepg23··on Show HN: I missed the moving blocks, so I built a real Linux disk defragmenter
Wow! I did not know that, thank you for the info.

Indeed torrents were the most obvious cause of the fragmentation I saw.

only HDD drives I use are in a ZFS pool which has a very usable fragmentation value from zpool.
doublepg23··on Migrating a Synology NAS to a UniFi UNAS Pro 8 with Robocopy, SMB Multichannel
Thankfully it's not dissimilar to Synology internally: btrfs+mdadm on the smaller ones, ZFS on the big ones.

Shouldn't be hard to migrate if it got discontinued.

I guess my brain has been cooked by internet libertarianism but what's the basis of a C&D for proxying a website?

Is the legal basis just copyright of the contents?

Yeah, if you're transcoding for clients a lot I'd just spend the cash on upgrading the clients to support HEVC at minimum.

doublepg23··on Nostr is an inclusive communication commons
Nostr is cute but I feel it runs into xkcd 191.

To paraphrase:

> Yeah, but it would all be with the kind of people who use Nostr.

As of now it’s filled with BTC-maxis / crypto bros that mainly talk about how great Nostr and Bitcoin are … and not much else. I suppose there’s plenty of tasteless AI slop and gross adult scams if that suits your palate.

doublepg23··on Fixing a bricked Framework laptop
Indeed, multiple civil wars have been fought since the Lenovo acquisition.

Not a hardware engineer so feel free to fact-check all of this.

My understanding is Coreboot is a minimum-viable firmware implementation to get your hardware initialized ... and not much else.

Once Coreboot is ready you then use "Payloads".

Payloads can be as varied as booting into Linux directly, GRUB directly, or a whole UEFI/BIOS implementation.

SeaBIOS is a whole FOSS BIOS implementation (commonly used for emulators like QEMU) and is somewhat tractable according to my prior research (~50k lines of C).

My comment about CPU support is due to modern systems using UEFI - the payload for that is TianoCore EDK2. It's quite large (900k+ lines) and while it has much more eyes on it, if minimalism is what you're looking for I doubt it would qualify.

That leaves you with systems from before ~2013 or so - assuming you can even flash Coreboot to them, which only supports a handful of systems.

I suppose you could just jump into Linux though. Perhaps it's silly to do anything else.

> nobody really seems to talk about how repairable enterprise laptops are

Thinkpads have been a meme since the early 2010s.

It's funny to bring up the T480/s as positive example because I remember people complaining about anything past ~xx20 series.

> caught everyone's attention with the fun DIY repair angle

Framework is a reaction to the cult following a lot of the business laptops had. When people are spending $$ to retrofit modern mainboards to vintage Thinkpad chassis you know there's enthusiast money to be made there.

doublepg23··on Fixing a bricked Framework laptop
SeaBIOS on a Coreboot laptop is pretty minimal. Paltry CPU speeds on anything that supports it nowadays, but fun for a beater system.

The two I most often see in Ubuntu's dmesg are:

audit - appears to be some sort of AppArmor logging?

br[] - bridge interface docker uses consistently rebuilds itself? May be related to docker compose networking.

Are you aware where you find that in the US?

> Fun fact, it gets gradually better with each reheating

That was a very common theme when researching. I froze my leftovers for the winter!

There is a quite a lot of Polish influence in Pittsburgh.

Pierogi are very common here (the best is always "however my [grand]mother made them") but I'm not familiar with the rest!

Sounds like I'll have plenty of ideas for the winter :)

I had discovered this on Reddit and then made it the following night.

My wife was not pleased by the smells, as you say.

I think it'd be quite nice in the winter :)

doublepg23··on How to Increase OpenBSDs Resilience to Power Outages
> they consider ZFS "non–free" on par with the GPL

Why isn't it? The CDDL is basically the MPL, which in-turn is basically the LGPL.

The jihad against the GPL by FreeBSD and conveniently ignoring the CDDL being weak-copyleft was always ironic to me.

> and the devs probably haven't had one either

solene@ left and stated the filesystem as a supporting reason:

> I have grievances against OpenBSD file system. Every time OpenBSD crash, and it happens very often for me when using it as a desktop, it ends with file corrupted or lost files. This is just not something I can accept.

Can you expand on this? I did follow the “Moblin/Maemo/MeeGo” forks back in the day and it struck me as odd Android pulled off the HAL layer but “Linux” was unable to.
