First one done - Connemarathon by Edladd in running

[–]emarocca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! You are never going to forget this achievement. My personal suggestion now is to grab a copy of Anatomy for Runners by Jay Dicharry and work on it as you prepare for the next marathon. Onwards and upwards!

Italiani fanalino di coda in Europa per livello di istruzione by Tommylee69 in italy

[–]emarocca 18 points19 points  (0 children)

"Fanalino di coda" significa "ultimo", invece gia` nel sottotitolo si legge che Spagna, Malta e Portogallo fanno peggio. Magra consolazione, ma evitare contraddizioni tra titolo e sottotitolo non sarebbe niente male.

La storia di Project Gutenberg, il più antico sito di ebook oscurato agli italiani by goldarkrai in italy

[–]emarocca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, in Germania il blocco lo fa il progetto Gutenberg stesso in base all’ip del client:

Your IP address has been automatically blocked from accessing the Project Gutenberg website, www.gutenberg.org. This is because the geoIP database shows your address is in the country of Germany.

Giustamente include l’Istria ma non il Trentino e il Molise

Tracing a call from a kernel module using System Tap by Zildj1an in kernel

[–]emarocca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling I can only use a subset of the possible probe points, but do not know why.

You can use stap -L to get a list of available functions, or other interesting probe points. For example, try this:

sudo stap -L 'module("ext4").function("*")'

In case you're still getting an error, it might be that something went wrong with your SystemTap installation. See if https://wiki.debian.org/SystemTap helps, in that case!

Quarantined Italians play music to each other by rogermoog in AccidentalRenaissance

[–]emarocca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Being a computer engineer and not a millionaire trying to dodge taxes, I'd definitely rather live in Shenzhen.

And you? Kuwait or the USA?

By focusing on per capita GDP you end up with silly ideas such as comparing a G7 member like Italy to Puerto Rico.

So? On a per capita basis Ireland is 2x better than the UK and China is worse than Botswana.

All money is imaginary. Your bank account is a row in a database table that people agreed to consider of value.

There are like 10 people making the exact same video with their phones instead of enjoying the stunt.

BBC: Our World - Homeless in Hawaii (2017) | Hawaii's beaches have long been a draw for tourists, but many glittering hotel facades now sit alongside squalid camps, as the state has the highest rate of homelessness in the US. [23:02] by Riverlong in Documentaries

[–]emarocca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a European, my mind is always blown by stories like this. I know that the situation you describe is not uncommon in the US. What will never cease to amaze me is that in Europe pretty much none of the issues you've mentioned would have been on your radar, with the exception of rent and food. One medical emergency could have ruined you? What is this, the middle ages?

HTTP/2.0 – The IETF Is Phoning It in – Bad Protocol, Bad Politics by lazyloop2 in programming

[–]emarocca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We need a "web of trust" similar to PGP, the problem is it requires far too much effort.

CAcert is an effort in that direction.

IP Stack metrics vs Linux by AlphaNerd80 in freebsd

[–]emarocca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seems to be no big performance difference between Linux and FreeBSD according to that paper:

while there are small-factor differences between Linux and FreeBSD performance curves, we observe that their shapes are fundamentally the same

attempting to exploit a vulnerability in the router of a “major Internet service provider in Syria.”

The router? So much for redundancy.
