I find it amazing how "naphtha" can mean crude oil, diesel, kerosene, gasoline or kind of white spirit.

EDIT: oh and it comes from Akkadian! how many Akkadian words do you know?


And RP-1 Rocket Fuel and Jet-A Jet Fuel are both Kerosene!

I have a 5G USB and getting it to work at 5G speeds in Linux was a challenge. The driver worked properly only with kernel 6.12 not 6.10 nor 6.14

Or a charitable gift to Sandy Hook families

Nice, on Hetzner AX41-nvme (~50 eur, from 2020) non-raid I get:

IOPS: read 325k, write 139k

Throughput: read 1271MB/s, write 545MB/s

Latency: read avg 0.3ms, P99.9 2.7ms, max 20ms; write: 0.14ms, P99.9 0.35ms max 3.3ms

so roughly 100 times iops and throughput of the cloud VMs


Yeah its best to avoid using the windows filesystem for anything else but a source of cp -r

Tell that to Germany in 1917

Fix for WAL bug, improved ALTER TABLE


I had the 6600 GT, insane price-perf ratio, kept it for like 8 years


It's also not the first time humans are seeing the far side of the moon, Ronald Evans orbitted the Moon 75 times in the orbital module during Apollo 17 (and other ppl did before him), so he also saw it right? The only unique thing is that its the first mission where they dont really do anything more interesting than looking at the far side


Apollo 8 did pretty much the same thing so not a first there either, but a first for today’s Orion architecture.
