- out_of_protocol parentYou also need a VPN, otherwise you'll get results in local language anyway
- Any data on index size for big tables? Comparison (with ms/megabytes) vs trigram regarding size/speed?
UPD
> Biscuit is 15.0× faster than B-tree (median) and 5.6× faster than Trigram (median)
> Trade-off: 3.2× larger index than Trigram, but 5.6× faster queries (median)
- There's usually 1 or 2 spots for NVMe drives, but that's it. If you want more, fall back to SATA
- Also, tested .zip vs .tar vs sqlite vs file system. Of this bunch, sqlite was the most compact format with minimal overhead.
- Not your keys - not your computer
- Technically speaking, you can run anything on anything since stuff Turing complete. Practically speaking however....
E.g. i have half of macos games in my steam library as a 32-bit mac binaries. I don't know a way to launch them at any reasonable speed. Best way to do it is to ditch macos version altogether and emulate win32 version of the game (witch will run at reasonable speed via wine forks). Somehow Win32 api is THE most stable ABI layer for linux & mac
- Yes. Still, there are ways to do it anyway, from Dosbox to WineVDM. Unlike MacOS where having even 32 bit app (e.g. half of Steam games that supported Macos to begin with) means you're fucked
- Windows 95 was released... well, in 1995. In 2025 you can run apps targeting W95 just fine (and many 16-bit apps with some effort)
- There's way more than one rust implementation around

- https://github.com/tirr-c/jxl-oxide
- https://github.com/etemesi254/zune-image
Etc. You can wait for 20 or so years "just to be sure" or start doing something. Mozilla sticks to the option A here by not doing anything
- 18650 are everywhere from hand tools, drones and vapes to Teslas and scooters. High energy per cell (up to 3600 mAh * 3.7V ~= 13Wh) and fairly cheap
- Definitely, Phoenix is way more streamlined than Django/Rails. Even if you jump to other language/framework, it'll teach a lot how to built stuff due to good defaults and project structure. Also simpler too. I remember spending hours trying to figure out how to use specific method and where is it coming from in Rails. In Elixir/Phoenix there's very few "import"s in use (single file you can inspect and modify), non hidden state. You see Foo.bar("some argument") and you know you don't need anything else to understand what it does. Rails is very magical in this sense, Django as well, a bit
- They need DRM thing ASAP. Next step would be to auto-fail every device without hardware TPM module (including Win11 with bypassed TPM requirement). "This software wont run on this PC" "this movie won't play" etc
- Big bonus of the Revision - it is available directly on Steam - just install original & Revision, play. Everything else needs manual intervention
- VPN is a thing
- This is a feature, not a bug. Torrent file/magnet link contains hash of a data which is immutable. Just publish new link (you should anyway, even with http)
- > It requires slightly more complex firewall rules, and asking the network admin to put them in place might raise some eyebrow for reason 1
Well, in many such situations data is provided for free, putting huge burden on the other side. Even it it's a little bit less convenient it makes service a lot more sustainable. I imagine torrent for free tier and direct download as a premium option would work perfectly
- Nuclear produces constant amount of energy (while consumption is not stable), Solar and Wind are highly unstable, with peaks not matching consumption. Adding gas (which is fast to adjust/turn on/turn off) for maneuvers makes whole system cheaper and more stable
- Samsung Folds 1-6 are kinda bad, much worse than competitors. Samsung Fold 7 is really good, so are Honor phones (V3, V5). Honor folds are sold on Amazon in Europe. Currently own V3 one, 1 year in, so far so good, feels really sturdy.
- > than inconsistent but correct.
than inconsistent but sometimes correct.
- It's their security and not your security, don't mix up
- I see Ryzen 5 3550H + 16GB + 512GB + EUT VAT + free shipping at 152EUR (random Aliexpress deal, says "Ninkear G3 Pro") - not much considering bundled up RAM and Disk, N100 costs a little bit less.
Braindead YouTube-solution would be to buy this device, connect to TV, wireless mouse and install Windows 10/11 LTSC, install firefox + favorite addons. N100 is barely enough for 4k@60, and Ryzen gets a bit more juice to live comfortably
- N100 and friends is a good NAS+youtube machine. Some mini PCs allow multiple NVMe drives. For a few more bucks you can get entry-level (but much more powerful) Ryzen CPU in a similar small box
- On efficiency side, there's big difference on OS department. Recently released handheld Lenovo Go S has both SteamOS (which is Arch btw) and Windows11 versions, allowing to directly compare efficiency of a AMD's Z1E chip under load with limited TDP. And the difference is huge, with SteamOS fps is significantly higher and and the same time battery lasts a lot more.
Windows does a lot of useless crap in the background that kills battery and slows down user-launched software
- Can't access banks, ticket systems etc. unfortunately we are in the era of tightened screws, the freedom is running out :(
- My vote is for Elixir as well, but it's not a competitor for multiple important reasons. There are some languages in that niche, although too small and immature, like Crystal, Nim. Still waiting for something better.
P.S. Swift, anyone?
- > Did you miss the part where every VPN port is blocked
Many protocols can use https ports and packet envelope. Also, there's special censorship resistant VPN protocols, which work even in China despite its nigh-infinity money to block it via DPI
- 1) replacing gzip compression with zstd will speed things up by a lot while also reducing disk size
2) Plain old sqlite seems like a good idea, for a format (and also widely supported). Fast indexes included
3) combining (1) and (2) is probably a good idea as well
4) there's also Parquet
- > So 11/27/2025 starts with the most useful information
Most useful information would be to not confuse it. E.g. you see a event date 9/8/2025 and it's either tomorrow or a month from now. Perfect 50/50% chance to miss it or make a useless trip
- Is webp really losses here? As far as i remember its capped at 4:2:0 and can't do 4:4:4 files without loosing some of the color data
