It segments a certain amount of ram to “swap” to which means compress and store. Normal blue sky ram operations are not compressed on macOS

flatironon Meta lays off 11,000 people

I would also believe these lay offs are mainly in recruitment and other HR roles and light on the hard core tech roles.

flatironon WireGuard in FreeBSD

My server is 20.04 and it’s 1.1.1f. I would think most people aren’t on 22.04 yet as that’s still pretty fresh for a server.

flatironon WireGuard in FreeBSD

there are no open CVEs against the default install of wireguard on Ubuntu. for all the grief ubuntu gets i find their server has very sane defaults.

Different use cases. Jetson is for open CL. This is a SBC for general server/light desktop usage.

flatironon Nvidia’s hot adapter for the GeForce RTX 4090 with a built-in breaking point

“Lick a 9V” is usually how I phrase it. Not the best feeling in the world.

flatironon Show HN: Restfox – Open source lightweight alternative to Postman

I just installed Ubuntu using deboostrap and it did not come with curl (to my surprise)

flatironon SHA-3 Buffer Overflow

So if we ported this library to rust sha3 seems peachy? No doubt an interesting port but it now seems inevitable.

flatironon SHA-3 Buffer Overflow

If you don’t use that library then nothing. If you do and you hash my crafted binary I probably could crash it.

What’s wrong with qemu/kvm?

flatironon Transmission 4.0.0 beta 1

I run my torrent client in a container and have that container only go out the vpn. Works very well without screwing with computer wide network settings.

flatironon Steam Deck Now Available for Immediate Ordering, Steam Deck Dock Also In-Stock

I don’t have a gaming pc and I never leave the house. But at the same time I’m very tempted to get this! All I do is play Stardew and Minecraft.

flatironon NVIDIA and nouveau

thanks! honestly all i use this for is personal web browsing, minecraft, stardew, and a bit of brutal doom to blow off some steam :). for me its perfect and i got it maxed out at 32GB of ram and the quad core i7.

one day i'll upgrade, maybe when all the kids are in public school and my wife has graduated law school. right now i'm paying a pre school and a law school tuition on a single income (as well as mortgage etc.). i would be excited about an amd framework laptop. i guess i will have to wait until they get their usb stuff straight though.

flatironon NVIDIA and nouveau

I have a Kepler laptop gpu using nouveau and the 2d experience is great. Even after reclocking it’s only just as performant as my haswell i7 iGPU with worse OpenGL support. That being said all I play is Minecraft and Stardew so it doesn’t bother me much.

I will be happier in the future getting better support. Either that or getting a newer laptop!

flatironon ZFS 2.1.6

What are the advantages of it on a laptop. Do you have more than one drive in it?

I honestly use ext4 for everything based on ignorance and familiarity.

flatironon The PS5 Has Been Jailbroken

Maybe no shockingly obvious “improvements” but I’ve noticed friends and family who don’t game have a much harder time following the gps while the gamers usually have it on silent and glance every now and then with no issue. I bet there are a lot of mini things like that gaming improves.

flatironon The PS5 Has Been Jailbroken

It is if you just don’t play current AAA games. I mainly do my gaming on a WiiU. Console and everything cost me $100 used. It plays pretty much every Nintendo game ever made short of the switch titles. Games are very cheap and of high quality.

flatironon Does Company ‘X’ have an Azure Active Directory Tenant?

I guess everywhere. I’ve worked at a ton of “big” companies. All AD. Even the company’s that bake everything themselves. (I’m looking at you apple)

flatironon Does Company ‘X’ have an Azure Active Directory Tenant?

Good question. I’ve worked at apple and google and both like to cook their own implementation. It was AD there.

flatironon Google is shutting down Stadia

My main computer is a MacBook 2103 running Linux. Stadia was my only way to play games. I’m kinda mad I’m losing my save progress on some games.

Ironically I will probably use my refund to buy a steam deck.

flatironon Google postpones MV2 shutoff in Chrome stable to June 2023

Are you listed on the store? My company’s is unlisted and just part of the onboarding documentation. I think in my case nobody would give two craps about the badge.

flatironon SEC charges owners of New Jersey Deli with a $100M Valuation

It’s called market manipulation and is very much a crime.

flatironon WhatsApp Remote Code Execution in Video Call

It runs as whatsapp so if you allowed it access to photos, location, etc you gain that. Very powerful stuff.

flatironon Kill-sticky, a bookmarklet to remove sticky elements and restore scrolling

https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky/blob/master/Dockerfile

flatironon Is the Micro Machines guy still the fastest-talking man on the planet? (2016)

So funny. Was just thinking of this guy last week playing with open ai whisper. It really did a great job transcribing him. But then I got to thinking it most likely trained on him.
