Is this the same as enabling `init_on_free=1` in the kernel?


Netbox project used to go on and on about the philosophical justifications for not including n-type connections or different types of LMR. But the most recent release notes that I read had a blurb about all the new coax cable types they are supporting. I understand having limited time but instead of saying "no" they always had to make lofty philosophical arguments. It's weird.


Honestly that's fine I'm just glad I'm not crazy.


It doesn't have a modem. Why would it support eSIM?


It would be super convenient, given it's size, for me to purchase a eSim card abroad with unlimited data and not having to drain my phone battery.

This is a travel router.


This is a travel router without a modem. It would be super inconvenient if you bought an eSIM for a device that does not have a modem. You might as well by an eSIM for your toothbrush when you are traveling abroad, it would equally "convenient."


THW?


The transmission site for WWVB has hundreds of water bottles to insulate the equipment from temperature swings.

That page deserves its own submission. The juxtaposition in running four atomic clocks with a UPS consisting of "two car batteries, a power supply, a trickle charger (to keep the batteries continuously charged), and two car headlights (for discharging the batteries)" and a thermal mass consisting of water bottles is crazy


I do this same trick in an insulated utility shed, storing water beneath a desk to prevent overnight freezing within.

Works about as good as a heated rock in your sleeping bag.


You need xdg-desktop-portal . Its probably automatic in some environments but with sway I have to set it up manually. Its one of those annoying things I forget about whenever I set up a new machine.

Thanks. On Debian trixie, xdg-desktop-portal-wlr is broken. I had to compile in manually, but this did the trick.


You can confirm that GLP1s make "carbs specifically disgusting" and an example of this reaction is that you would have a desire to eat potatoes?


Oh no, you have torn through the flaws in my argument like bullets through paper, however will I live this down? Unless I clearly meant "it makes previously-desirable food undesirable", anyway.


I was not trying to tear your argument down. The comment you replied to was about carbs being specifically disgusting and in my head potatoes are the runner up to bread for classic examples of carbs. I was simply asking about what seemed like a contradiction. I have been looking into GLP1s and have not seen/heard people mention that GLP1 make carbs gross.


I think it varies per person. For me, it didn't specifically make carbs gross, but it did make unhealthy food less palatable. I think that's what the GP was talking about as well, they were just a bit more specific.

It really depends on the person, though. They worked for me for a while and don't work now, but I'm a small minority, from what I've heard from people. When they worked, they were great.


> Beets can do this too!

This is the best summary of beets. It's wildly flexible and configurable.


I havent been to boingboing in probably 15 years. Its weird to have nostalgia triggered by something so different from what it used to be.


It used to be one of my favourite sites for weird DIY stuff. At some point in the mid 2010s I guess ad revenue tanked and social media killed their business model, and it made sense to cash in on their underground zine-y brand to hawk affiliate links, sponsored content, e-courses and clickbait. Sad but understandable. Around the same time I found the same vibe in other disparate places: The Cracked podcast (I still enjoy Jason Pargin's stuff) listening to Mark Frauenfelder's Cool Tools podcast, which is now called Recommendo, which carries on the affiliate link stuff and scratches that gadget itch. And the DIY and tinkering vibe is a huge part of HN.


> you will not be able to transfer your hard-drive/SSD to an older machine that does not support x86-64-v3. Usually, we try to ensure that moving drives between systems like this would work. For 26.04 LTS, we’ll be working on making this experience cleaner, and hopefully provide a method of recovering a system that is in this state.

Does anyone know what the plans are to accomplish this?


If I were them I would make sure the V3 instructions are not used until late in the boot process, and some apt command that makes sure all installed programs are in the right subarchitecture for the running system, reinstalling as necessary.

But that does not sound like a simple for non technical users solution.

Anyway, non technical users using an installation on another lower computer? That sounds weird.


I am probably going to be the one implementing this and I don't know what I am going to do yet! At the very least we need the failure mode to be better (currently you get an OOPS when the init from the initrd dies due to an illegal instruction exception)
