Guy reporting to Putin and Ukrainian chiefs have quite opposite interests to give estimations and I don't know how accurately you can draw lines on the maps, so I'd guess that the russian guy underestimates the area by a lot in a hope that his window doesn't suddenly break with his body and Ukraine likes to give a round number, even if reality is 830km² or whatever (I don't believe that they'd publicly lie about the area to be 3 times bigger than actual, but 20% on those cirumstances is pretty much just a rounding error).

Jitsi works, and they have open relays to test with, but as the thing here is very much analog and I'd assume she'd just need to see your position, how hands move etc, the audio quality isn't the most important thing here. Sure, it helps, but personally I'd just use zoom/teams/hangouts/something readily available and invest in a decent microphone (and audio in general) + camera.

That way you don't need to provide helpdesk on how to use your thing and waste time from actual lessons nor need to debug server issues while you've been scheduled to train with your teacher.

Linux, so even benchmarking software is near impossible unless you’re writing software which is able to leverage the specific unique features of Linux which make it more opimized.

True. I have no doubt that you could set up a linux system to calculate pi to 10 million digits (or something similar) more power efficiently than windows-based system, but that would include compiling your own kernel leaving out everything unnecesary for that particular system, shutting down a ton of daemons which is commonly run on a typical desktop and so on and waste a ton more power on testing that you could never save. And that might not even be faster, just less power hungry, but no matter what that would be far far away from any real world scenario and instead be a competition to build a hardware and software to do that very spesific thing with as little power as possible.

Interesting thought indeed, but I highly doubt that difference is anything you could measure and there's a ton of contributing factors, like what kind of services are running on a given host. So, in order to get a reasonable comparison you should run multiple different software with pretty much identical usage patterns on both operating systems to get any kind of comparable results.

Also, the hardware support plays a big part. A laptop with dual GPUs and a "perfect" support from drivers on Windows would absolutely wipe the floor with Linux which couldn't switch GPUs at the fly (I don't know how well that scenario is supported on linux today). Same with multicore-cpu's and their efficient usage, but I think on that the operating system plays a lot smaller role.

However changes in hardware, like ARM CPUs, would make a huge difference globally, and at least traditionally that's the part where linux shines on compatibility and why Macs run on batteries for longer. But in the reality, if we could squeeze more of our CPU cycles globally to do stuff more efficiently we'd just throw more stuff on them and still consume more power.

Back when cellphones (and other rechargeable things) became mainstream their chargers were so unefficient that unplugging them actually made sense, but today our USB-bricks consume next to nothing when they're idle so it doesn't really matter.

At least in here some of the older modems, specially from ADSL-era, only had two pairs in them, so they were only good up to 100Base-T, which is roughly 7MB/s. So maybe check if that's the case and throw those into recycling bin.

At work where cable runs are usually made by maintenance people the most common problem is poor termination. They often just crimp a connector instead of using patch panels/sockets and unwind too much of the cable before connector which causes all kinds of problems. With proper termination problems usually go away.

But it can be a ton of other stuff too. Good cable tester is pretty much essential to figure out what's going on. I'm using 1st gen version of Pocketethernet and it's been pretty handy, but there's a ton of those available, just get something a bit better than a simple indicator with blinking leds which can only indicate if the cable isn't completely broken.

Yep. I'm running 1/1Gbps wan connection over cat5e just fine. Even on very noisy environment at work with a longish run (70+ meters) we ran pretty damn stable 1/1Gbps over good quality cat7.

It depends heavily on what you do and what you're comparing yourself against. I've been making a living with IT for nearly 20 years and I still don't consider myself to be an expert on anything, but it's a really wide field and what I've learned that the things I consider 'easy' or 'simple' (mostly with linux servers) are surprisingly difficult for people who'd (for example) wipe the floor with me if we competed on planning and setting up an server infrastructure or build enterprise networks.

And of course I've also met the other end of spectrum. People who claim to be 'experts' or 'senior techs' at something are so incompetent on their tasks or their field of knowledge is so ridiculously narrow that I wouldn't trust them with anything above first tier helpdesk if even that. And the sad part is that those 'experts' often make way more money than me because they happened to score a job on some big IT company and their hours are billed accordingly.

And then there's the whole other can of worms on a forums like this where 'technical people' range from someone who can install a operating system by following instructions to the guys who write assembly code to some obscure old hardware just for the fun of it.

Liekö taas “optimoitu” toimintaa vähentämällä työntekijöiden määrää ja kiristämällä aikatauluja, että saadaan johdolle nätimpi tilipussi

Toivottavasti tuolle optimoijalle tulee kielto toimia minkäänlaisten räjähteiden parissa loppuelämäksi ja pariksi viikkoa päälle ja sanktiot tietysti koko firmalle vahingonkorvauksineen täydestä arvosta. Kuvien perusteella melko hurjan näköistä jälkeä ja ei ole kuin ihme ettei ulkopuolisiin sattunut. Kuvissa punaisen auton penkillä oleva kivi on sen verran iso että sillä varmaan saa hengen pois tiputtamalla metrin korkeudelta päälle, puhumattakaan siitä että lähtönopeutta on 100+ metrin lentoon.

Grub supports software raid just fine. The main issue is that you need to modify grub configuration to add bootloader on both drives, but even if you don't it's pretty simple to recreate needed files for second drive when the primary one dies.

Kurjuutta on jaossa jälleen. Jotenkin (taas) vähän hampaattoman oloinen lista, kun säästöjä pitäisi etsiä miljardiluokkaa ja esitetyt kohteet on muutamia miljoonia. Pienistä puroista toki kertyy, mutta en nyt ole aivan varma, että onko esim. keliakiakorvausten 9 miljoonaa nyt välttämättä semmoinen summa, joka pitkässä juoksussa parantaa mitään ja muutenkin nuo kiristykset tuntuvat isolta osin olevan enemmän raippaa raipan päälle pienituloisilla kuin mitään sellaista, millä saadaan talous kasvuun. Yritystuet ym on toki oma soppansa, mutta sieltä on nyt ainakin teorian tasolla odotettavissa sitä kasvua, mitä nyt kipeästi kaivataan.

Toisen asteen maksuttomana säilyminen on ehdottomasti hyvä juttu, mutta hieman olen skeptinen sen vaikutuksista kokonaisuuteen, kun valtakuntaan pitäisi saada niitä työpaikkoja mihin ne juuri koulusta valmistuneet sitten työllistyvät veronmaksajina. C-hepatiitista en tiedä oikein yhtään mitään, mutta leikattava summa on luokkaa 3500eur/tartunta, joka ei terveydenhuollon mittakaavassa kuulosta kovin paljolta ja toisekseen jos pitää säästää 12 miljardia ja tällä säästetään 3,5 miljoonaa niin mittakaavat ei oikein kohtaa.

Se on kuitenkin selvää, että parannusta nykytilaan ei ole ainakaan lyhyellä tähtäimellä tarjolla ja hyvinvointialueet imee rahaa valtavasti enemmän kuin niiden on ennakoitu, joten saapa nähdä ollaanko tässä parin vuoden sisään Kreikan tiellä vai kääntyykö kelkka johonkin suuntaan.

Unfortunately, I don’t think the Pi supports RAID1.

I haven't ran any Pi with hard drives, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with software raid on linux.
