Assuming that's 15 FPS that's about 80-100 Euro (sans shipping) per second of gameplay and due to most PCB fabs having a MOQ of 5 you could play 5 at a time!

Yeah but just liked an overclocked gpu, there's errors on those boards so you have to throw them away and wait for the for the next revision.

It’s more incredible to me that Microsoft has different versions of teams that don’t work with each other, but are named the same thing, and that the home version of teams that doesn’t work with enterprise teams comes forcibly bundled with an pro or enterprise os.

It's so fucking bizarre that there are multiple versions of the same thing, that are called the same thing but aren't the same thing!

The damage on the ground is scary to look at. I think the only silver lining here is that it was "just" a sparser industrial area and there weren't any homes. I'm really curious about what the investigation will reveal in a few months. This doesn't look like a "regular" engine fire from a bird strike or so, you would normally expect the flames to come out the back and not over the wing. And at least in theory the MD-11 should be flyable with just two engines, although flames on a wing is probably "really really bad" just by itself already. Too early to speculate about what happened though.

Looks like a compressor stall on number two engine two seconds into the video.

Honest question: why would this code clamp the reported round-trip time? By default, min = 0.05 ms and max = 800 ms [1].

           if (rtt < config.min_rtt)
                rtt = config.min_rtt;
            else if (rtt > config.max_rtt)
                rtt = config.max_rtt;

Wouldn't this hide bugs in the code or network anomalies? Replies from localhost seem to typically arrive in less than 50 µs.

Comments in an earlier version [2] make no sense to me:

            /* Use standard timersub for more accurate results */
                    if (rtt < 0)
                        rtt = 0;

                    /* Cap at reasonable maximum to handle outliers */
                    if (rtt > 1000)
                        rtt = 1000;

> website with a list of payphone numbers ... my home phone number was one of them

Did you find out how this came to be, or just random typo?

Curious what the purpose of calling a pay phone is? (wasn't possible in my country)

roygbiv2 · 2 months ago

There was once an application, long gone and probably short lived, that let you ring payphones for free over the internet. Me and my mates had a great time phoning up times square, a pub in Australia and other places chatting to randoms.

Mosquitos bite with their nose.

Oh I thought I couldn't hate them anymore and I learn this. My leg currently has large hives on it from multiple bites, the antihistamines I have are doing bugger all.

I'm currently testing for alternatives of minio on my homelab. Ceph was nice, lots of bells and whistles, built in support for virtual IPs is excellent, but on my aging hardware it was using 10-15% CPU in my VM while idle. Currently benchmarking garagefs, scales very well with core count and multi node set up is a breeze.

Yeah, I was gonna say I've used Iodine to get free Wi-Fi on Delta flights for years at this point.

roygbiv2 · 2 months ago

Does it work well? I've never actually got it to work consistently. Either it works for a very brief period or just not at all.

Iodine has done this for many years. https://github.com/yarrick/iodine

I love iodine.

I used to do a lot of consulting work at locations with extremely locked down networks. I could use iodine + wireguard to punch through most firewalls, slow, but effective.

roygbiv2 · 3 months ago

The only real place I got iodine to work was 40k feet above the ocean. Even then it was only good enough to telnet into an SMTP server to send an email. Most of the time it's failed for me.
