There is a lot of hype in this article and precious little in the way of verifiable facts.

Does anyone have any links to something more credible?

With?

I run projects inside Docker on a VM away from important data. It allows me to test and restrict access to specific things of my choosing.

It works well for me.

Hands up if you have done this at least once in your life…

The SCSI solution requires making sure that you have the right terminator connector because of course there’s more than one standard … ask me how I know … I think the Wikipedia article on SCSI says it best:

Is it for Clickbait purposes?

I can absolutely guarantee that you are not the only person to have spent quality time getting to know the intimate backwaters of a codebase tracking down a bug that you introduced whilst tracking down a bug.

You dared to ask a question and the tools to explore answers are readily available.

This is how we as a society make progress.

Please don’t feel like my experience is the final answer to your question … my experience tells me that this is rarely … if ever … the case.

If you genuinely attempting to quantify this, you can create a swap file of any size right there on your drive. You could iterate and test every setting for every scenario. You could even change settings dynamically if you wanted to.

That said, I leave it to the kernel to figure out and over the past 25 or so years that’s been fine.

I miss Galeon …

Obviously not everyone learnt from the pandemic…

This is the second post with Unix and socks on my feed in the past few minutes.

There was a post about software and socks a few weeks or so ago where I replied about a company called functional software that made functional socks which I wore for years, which come to think about it also started a discussion about functional programming.

Anyway, here’s a community where the socks seem to be coming from.

BIOS could be managing CPU based on battery power.

CPU thermal throttling.

Hardware fault.

With Google maps on many phones you should be able to get a good idea if this true or not.

Listening to the Wiggles over and over again will do that … 😁

I came across this just now.

The CVE Program is invaluable to cyber community and a priority of CISA. Last night, CISA executed the option period on the contract to ensure there will be no lapse in critical CVE services. We appreciate our partners’ and stakeholders’ patience.

What’s the point? 4chan seems like such a low value target.

It’s “possible” … really, that’s the word you’re going for?

How about “likely”, “obvious”, “certain”, “duh”.

Why are people acting all surprised? This is the company that brought you Clippy and the Zune.

On 14 October 2025 they’ll give you the final incentive to kick them to the kerb and install a different OS when your perfectly fine Windows 10 PC stops getting security updates.
