windows 10 pro (and other editions) also have an option for 3 year of updates via https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol

Cpu utilization %% needs to be contrasted with a "business" metric like latency or RPS. Depending on the environment and hardware 40% can be too utilized or way underutilized

Lenovo still sells $100 ThinkPad keyboards with TrackPoint, it will never be as fast, but no need to move hands from the keyboard

my rsync backup use case over usb and adb (with adb root)

start rsync daemon: adb root adb forward tcp:6010 tcp:11873 adb shell "rsync --daemon --port 11873 --config=/sdcard/rsyncd.conf &"

rsync: rsync -rltHDhP --stats --size-only --append-verify --partial --delete rsync://localhost:6010/root/data/data/ /backup/data

cleanup: adb kill-server

/sdcard/rsyncd.conf for the phone: address = 127.0.0.1 uid = root gid = root [root] path = / read only = true

From the article:

To do so, users must actively opt out by finding and disabling the feature in settings. The process requires unchecking the box 'Turn on optional connected experiences' that is enabled by default.

On a Windows PC, the steps include going to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences and unchecking the box.

this type of marketing satire worked for me: 80% entertainment 20% substance

This brings back the days of trillian (the best multi-chat client for the desktop in the age of ICQ, AIM, MSN) that got killed by the raise of mobile phones and mobile chat apps.

Extra battery in the trailer can make it go so much further. And make battery in the trailer replaceable during a "charge" stop

podman and podman-compose became mainstream and replaced docker for me in "server" scenarios on rhel8/rhel9, fedora and derivatives. Glad to see progress on the desktop!

I have started using globally exported TZ=:/etc/localtime after previous discussion, but since stopped, since at some desktop applications (slack for example) were not reading timezone correctly.

Exactly what I'm looking for recently.. I dismissed ZFS (not mature on Linux) and btrfs (seems to be too complex and buggy as seen in a few horror stories)

So far I started using --link-dest for rsync, as explained in https://lincolnloop.com/insights/detecting-file-moves-rename... and used in https://github.com/dparoli/hrsync/blob/master/hrsync#L52

I switched from Cygwin+rsync(over ssh) to robocopy+samba to speed up backups (up to saturating 1Gbit connection):

    for %i in (C D) do robocopy %i:\ \\backup-server\b-%COMPUTERNAME%\%i /MIR /DCOPY:T /NFL /NDL /R:0 /W:1 /XJ /XD "System Volume Informatiowsn" /XD "$RECYCLE.BIN" /XD "Windows" /XD "Windows.old"

--link-dest is also used in hrsync, another rsync wrapper: https://github.com/dparoli/hrsync/blob/master/hrsync#L52

What is Gb/s per watt of power between 2x400Gb/s servers and a single 800Gb/s ?

Following these reports since 2015, when I compared estimated cost of your 9Gb/s server to F5 load balancer :)
