Been running jabberd for probably >10 years. Horrible experience (for the users) and terrible clients. Sometimes you'd just appear online while not sending/receiving anything.

I switched to Nextcloud Talk after Skype shutdown and migrated all my family there. They love it. We have a private cloud, we can share photos and other files, great mobile support... The only issue at the moment is relatively long delay before receiving a message (up to 30secs?) since I've been too lazy to setup redis.

How is there an entire page without a single line describing how it works?

Add that before UDMA modes any disk I/O burned CPU cycles as well. A single core CPU spent most of the time reading from a slow disk. Good times!

Windows before some version (maybe before XP?) only supported BMP wallpapers. BMP is uncompressed, a 1024x768 24-bit BMP is 2.25MB. That could be 7% of the 32MB system RAM and if the image got paged out - you were looking at it being redrawn line by line...yeah, I'm not doing that :)

This ^

I debugged an app a couple of years ago that from time to time brought entire MSSQL down. The server had to be physically restarted. Nobody could figure out for years what was going on, all the queries had been analyzed and checked for missing indexes, everything was profiled... Except when an app generated a query like this which did not go fine through the cached plan.

See the other comment below. Maybe you also have a hash of the patches? :)

I'm not sure if I can. But if anyone else has the file, the hash is: 82c6658d53fa611273a4742ac824cc98196fd35e

Should be pretty magnetic :)

I got the audio part, but didn't download the patches :(

That's where the disagreement is. Yes, it can be shared but RedHat under their license is not bound to provide you with any further updates.

However, this makes it as if you are being punished for exercising the rights that have been given to you by the original software license.

I survived by saying since it's bottomless I never reach the ground.

"It's the ground that kills you, not the fall" :)

Definitely helps by leading the prompt, I survived this scenario by saying I relaxed, focused and suddenly a familiar feeling returned as I remembered how to breath again :)

Another interesting one was where I was attacked by 500 puppies and just said I realized it was a dream and woke up safe in my bed.

The problem is not the same...Shuttle's main engines were dead in orbit after jettisoning the main tank. Only OMS thrusters were working and it landed unpowered, gliding to the surface (more like a controlled crash). It would never make it to orbit with the main tank attached. There was no possible way to fuel it, no engines and OMS was not usable beyond LEO.

You have full powered engines in orbit on Starship, "just" need to fuel them :)

That's really bad. I refinanced last month to a 3.7% fixed 20-year because the fixed rate here is currently lower than base variable rate (6-month Euribor at 4.1%, which would mean about 5.5% effective rate after the bank markup).

My UPS is showing 236V at the moment (continental EU). We also used to have 220V IIRC, but are now closer to 240V it seems.

That ~9kW is probably split over 3 phases. Here you have 3x20A main breakers and then each circuit has a 10A or 16A breaker. So about 3.7kW limit for larger appliances (16A * 230V) on a single circuit, but should not exceed 20A on one phase. Stoves can be connected to 2 phases, 400V and get 7.2kW.
