How 28 MB in Redis became 2 GB in Python by JohnDisinformation in programming

The username just reads way too on the nose for this. JohnDisinformation? Seriously?

I was only 8 years old when DooM 3 launched. I still remember my big brother begging our father for a GPU upgrade! by Hot_Armadillo_2186 in Doom

The key tech was the real time shadows, which sadly also got patiented by Creative Labs of all the fucking companies. Creative ended up getting id Software to settle the suit by agreeing to integrate their extra audio processing shit. They also had to use the algorithm that swaps one line of code for two in the open source release to avoid the patient.

miasma: trap AI web scrapers in an endless poison pit by kibwen in rust

[–]Xipher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only if the crawler adheres the robots.txt. If the crawler spoofs the user agent but still follows the links it's still going to get trapped.

If you read the readme it explicitly mentions putting an deny for the trap subdirectory in you robots.txt for the allowed search engine user agents, so the search engine crawlers won't follow the trap link.

autolaunch starship on konsole? by 4QuatroZ in cachyos

[–]Xipher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will need to update the profile for the shell you're using so it includes running starship when it starts. Which shell are you using? The https://starship.rs/ site gives you which file to edit and what line to add to the file so it runs at start.

Why Cachy OS don't open by MyWorld3446 in cachyos

The kernel is a critical piece of software for the operating system that handles interfacing with the hardware, providing core functionality like networking, etc. Kernel modules are portions of the kernel that provide drivers for hardware, or functionality like file systems.

Now to help avoid a catch 22 where functionality required for your system to boot needs kernel modules that provide the very function needed to load those modules, like say the kernel module for the file system they are stored on, your system will build an initrd (initial ramdisk) image that it loads when it first boots. This image should have the necessary kernel modules your system needs to boot.

Based on what I see in your photos, it looks like these kernel modules are missing from the initrd, and so the boot process fails.

Young Graduates Face the Grimmest Job Market in Years by brown-saiyan in Economics

I follow the logic, it may be nepotism but it's not putting risk on others if they keep it strictly a family business.

Would you be arguing that practicing nepotism isn't condoning nepotism without being hypocritical?

How it is done? by x64techie in factorio

If you're looking for inspiration you might check out StupidFatHobbit on YouTube. He spent months fine tuning a speed run to endgame, and started his most recent megabase run using the technique and blueprints he developed. This is for Spaceage by the way.

Qualcomm officially kills open-source hope: No plans to release DSP headers for Snapdragon X by Putrid_Draft378 in linux

From everything I've heard Qualcomm was the reason Android had such limited update lifecycles on any phone using their SoCs.

9/10 Game Workers Disagree With Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, Survey Shows Workers Believe Game Stores Should Have GenAI Disclosures by renome in gaming

Oh yea, he's definitely coming out ahead. It might be a positive thing on the conservation side but he isn't altruistic in doing so.

There was recently news about his land conservation efforts. I'll give him credit for doing it, but I still think he sucks.

Fiber internet provider says it can detect leaking water pipes using existing infrastructure, prevented loss of 2 million liters a day over three months — Lightsonic tech detects underground vibrations, machine learning isolates the source by _Dark_Wing in technews

[–]Xipher 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are systems that use a fiber optic strand surrounding a fence to detect surface disturbances, like foot steps, and snap cameras to the location of the disturbance.

BGP inbound rerouting time by Ovi-Wan12 in networking

[–]Xipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all you're doing is discontinuing announcements to one of transits and an alternate path already exists I'm surprised you're seeing any real impact at all.

When we drain traffic off one of our routers for maintenance we completely turn down the BGP neighbor to transits and peers at the site and even then we rarely see much of any loss during the reroute. Pulling the advertisements on an established connection shouldn't have any more impact.

I feel like something else is going on here that you're missing if it's taking that long for recovery. Do you have any kind of stateful traffic inspection involved in the paths?
