fiberstore has them as well, plus you can buy modules, DACS and everything programmed to the vendor of choice, including different vendors on each end

Especially handy for specific Intel NICs where they refuse to link up if the module isn't in the driver-allowed list and those modules are hard to come by


The DDX3216 was such a nice piece of tech to work with, sure it had its flaws, but compared to what else was out there the value was just insane for the time.


Most devices still support S3 sleep, it's just disabled by default as s2idle (modern standby) has become the default. You can almost always re-enable S3 sleep if you really want to, but on modern devices it typically only takes a few seconds to resume from S4 (suspend-to-disk) which technically is safer and more reliable. Also you can always use suspend-then-hibernate if you really want fast resume during the day, but long battery life when it's more than an hour or so.


My Thinkpad p16s does not have s3 sleep. And s2idle lasts for a couple hours before it dies because every device has to sleep before it goes to true idle, but can never get all the USB devices to sleep. It's crap. S3 worked fine and was robust.


Dunno about other manufacturers, but Thinkpads removed S3. Stock BIOS on some T14 G3 had S3 had it, but it was removed by subsequent BIOS updates.

The notebook market is dead for me if the notebook can't sleep on 0.3% battery per hour and if it can't wake up within a second or so.

So far only macbooks and >5 years old Intel notebooks can.


I don't know what "most" in your case means, but pretty much none of the new laptops I've seen have S3 support available in their UEFI. And even if you somehow patch it in, the peripherals don't have drivers anymore that would successfully resume.


Linux does, my 12th gen Intel does, one year newer AMD doesn't.


Modern devices generally do not have s3 anymore


Sssshh, don't give Verisign any bad ideas!


So fun seeing all these familiar names pop up in a single thread, haven't been active in video after leaving Kaltura but have fond memories of FOMS/FOSDEM and meeting all of you!


Give it an image, get back a URL, scale to zero when there’s no traffic. The platform handles isolation, routing, and resource limits. The user handles their app.


Only if there's a commercial incentive to do so methinks. Just one of the things where I expect a legal catch-up is needed to get companies to do the right thing.


The first part of the word viking, or vik simply means "bay" in nordic languages


Yes, but similarity alone is not a guarantee that words are related. The words val and [h]val are not related in Swedish, even though they ended up with the same pronunciation and spelling in the modern language. Sometimes, words can end up as "fossil words" because the main usage of the word was lost.

This can also happen to word roots. Because this is about a historical word, it's interesting to look at the broader Indo-European language tree for clues about the original meaning.


The even firster part "vi" means "we" though.


I don’t think -kingur is a suffix in old norse. It is not a suffix in modern Icelandic, and I can’t think of any suffix like that.

In fact I don‘t remember a suffix which attaches to a pronoun. In modern Icelandic at least we like to introduce more pronouns or conjugate them rather then to suffix or prefix them.

If the word was broken as vi-kingur, I think the modern Icelandic would be við-kingur (or við-lingur), which is simply not a word in the language.


And vi was an outgrowth of ex, which was an improved version of ed, which in my experience, roughly translates to ‘ugh’.


In old Norway, the best vi hacker was crowned as vi king every midsummer.


Argghhh! When all ye got is a 300 Baud connection and a ASR-33, then ye be thanking your lucky stars for ed! And pray that the ribbon ain't worn out, and that the paper tape don't jam!

A pox o' chads on your house, ya mewlin' landlubber!


webay hmm. they started a trend

If you work at AWS in a technical role you can check the capacity of each pool in each AZ using an internal tool. Previously the main reason for pool exhaustion was automated jobs at the start of each working day as well as instance slotting issues (releasing a 4xl but only re-allocating a l means you now cannot slot another 4xl).
