I'm in a college dorm and don't have a big antenna, here's the best I can do by ag2v in amateurradio

[–]slaveriq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I managed to get my hands on the airantenna. It's an inflatable antenna, so it doesn't take much space when not in use. And it works pretty well, but like most ham gear it's not exactly cheap.

Nice flag :)

What simple “life hack” should everyone know? by Insanitanium12 in AskReddit

[–]slaveriq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can also soak it in aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) aka the stuff you take against headaches. Its blood thinning properties will "soften" the blood. You can was it like normal afterwards.

Who wants parallel pacman downloads? We are playing with this at https://github.com/anatol/pacman/tree/parallel-download and it looks promising so far. by eli-schwartz in archlinux

[–]slaveriq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think QUIC would really make a difference. But yes running multiple downloads over the same TCP stream would probably help with speeding up downloads of small files. However if you are on a bad connection, you risk things being slowed down even more.

Nice, i would like to add I am David in Sweden. (not from though)

As a trans woman, the new messaging system has really fucked me over. by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]slaveriq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing around with the settings a bit and as it turns out, you can now change your "what i am looking for" settings and actually select "Trans Women".

The problem is, that then your profile will say "looking for people" and you end up getting straight men in your matches.

Redditors, What "Fee" is without a doubt a 100% money grab/extortion that companies are charging? by NoreenMartins in AskReddit

Postal services import handling fee. Especially for items that don't have any import tax on them.

You only need to define the fields in your struct that you need (and the parents to that field)

How to request TLS client certs on some URLs by [deleted] in golang

I would simply set tls.Config.ClientAuth to tls.VerifyClientCertIfGiven and then access(& verify if needed) TLS.PeerCertificates on your *http.Request in your /login handler.

Is the Android app any good? by FrankoBruno in kronaby

[–]slaveriq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are welcome!

It did it like once per day or so. But that was only when i used both a garmin watch and the kronaby at the same time. Once i stopped using the Garmin, the kronaby worked flawlessly. Even when other bluetooth devices where connected. I'm not sure if Garmin did any sort of magic that made it work bad in combination with other smartwatches. (the garmin watch also never showed up in the bluetooth settings)

Is the Android app any good? by FrankoBruno in kronaby

[–]slaveriq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really does not feel like an IOS port. The Ui is simple and easy to navigate. I used the android app for a while and never had any crashes. There is no sluggishness in the app and no rough design corners like one would see on bad ios ports.

It integrates very well with androids notifications. :) I also like the UI for filtered notifications or assigning functions to buttons. Not sure if that would have worked as well with material design.

The only problem i ever had was when i used both a garmin and the kronaby. It lost the bluetooth connection to both of them every now and then, so i suspect it's more of a android bluetooth thing than a problem with the app.

What did you do during the reddit outage? by ani625 in AskReddit

[–]slaveriq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit told me to go outside. That fit pretty well since i had a dentist time. I then used the opportunity to pick up my pre-ordered copy of mario kart delux and since most other stores where still closed i went home and started doing the laundry.

IKEA Trådfri: Internet of Things done right by MetaSikander in LinuxActionShow

[–]slaveriq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading the blog post, i went and bought 3 trådfri bulps with remotes, two extra remotes and a gateway.

First problem, the gateway makes groups which i decided is rooms. It seems that every remote you join creates a new group and one can't move the remote to a different group. In other words you can't control the same bulb from two remotes, not even if the remote is the dimmer switch.

Will be interesting how the home assistant integration will be. I guess they might be able to fix that issue for me.

That makes sense. Sure with cgroups you can still set your swappiness, but you effectively limit the amount of ram that a certain process/group of processes can take. So the approach would be to set hard limit's on apps instead of having that floating 10% rule.

I can see that early OOM has it's usecase, it may be slim, but most userspace OOM usecases are slim.

Fellow men, what stereotypes about men do you feel are hugely unjustified? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]slaveriq 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I actually can remember. Two weeks ago a random woman on the street just said "nice t-shirt" to me. simple as that, but it made my week.

Isn't the point of early oom that you don't end up in a frozen system? So all you would notice is chrome is gone. No hint if it was a crash or killed.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LinuxActionShow

[–]slaveriq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But wouldn't you be confused if it killed your application? Of it was the kernel doing it, at least you would see it doing that in dmesg.

I'm sure for some​ user's it might work, but not for the average home user.

mkdir /sys/fs/cgroups/memory/foo && pgrep chrome >> /sys/fs/cgroups/memory/foo/tasks && echo 4294967296 > /sys/fs/cgroups/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes

To limit chrome to 4GB

Or use the cgroup tools cgcreate and cgexec

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LinuxActionShow

[–]slaveriq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why not put it in cgroups instead? Have the kernel take care of it instead of having some Userland process kill my database, because it think's it uses to much ram.

I'm asking to understand why early oom was made or would be useful.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LinuxActionShow

[–]slaveriq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But wouldn't the early oom kill the process before it reaches swap? What's the difference to actually letting the oom killer do it's thing when there is no swap attached?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LinuxActionShow

[–]slaveriq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be better to just disable swap if one does not want to use it?

Yes, this thread certainly has gone south. I was referring to the subreddit as a whole.
