Hopefully this will be supported on Intel Arc cards that have hardware encoding and decoding.

As the years go by I get more and more annoyed by the fact you cannot sort results by upload-time on Soundcloud. Your only time-related option is a filter which makes no guarantee about the order of results.

Is that solved with wal2 mode?

It is not ideal, but you can buy C-to-C adapters with the resistors to force the charger to supply 5V.

You are missing the point. I do not want delegate the root of my domain. I want to delegate a subdomain, which is not possible without a paid account. Not to be confused with the registrar.

I browsed the website but I could not find a simple url I can put into my radio player. It appears the only way to listen is either on the website or twitch[.].tv which seems to defeat the point of a radio stream.

On a similar note, there is 50G internet available in the UK, but there is only a single customer to my knowledge (on the Youfibre/Netomnia network). Another difference is that I believe Switzerland is using 25GBASE-X as the transport, whereas in the UK it is 50G-PON (alongside the regular XGS-PON service which most customers have).

I wanted to give Cloudflare a go, but I did not want to move my whole domain. Unfortunately you can only host a subdomain with a paid account.

This is good news! For anybody wondering, there is a terraform provider available.

When an SSD fails it often reverts to read-only mode. The manufacturers may require you to return the drive to receive a replacement or refund. By which point it is too late. You now have the choice of potentially risking the disclosure of your personal data to a third-party (and your shipment could end up on a lost-parcel auction of it did not get delivered) or missing out on your warranty.

I wonder if the likes of Red Hat, SuSE and Canonical have a support contract as they are commercial redistributors.

Nice job! Please consider providing an oci (docker/etc) container image (or if you do already, make it easier to find!)

Is it feasible to tie the grid frequency to an external clock reference, such as TAI?

I do not understand why anyone would want their email provider to be "E2EE". If I want end-to-end encryption then I will exchange public keys with the recipient.

I expect that once the infrastructure is in place then it will be co-opted by governments to enforce their control over the digital domain.

You keep the hash of the request so that you can reject a subsequent request with a different body. This has helped me surface bugs and data issues in other systems.
