Re: Overhauling memory tuning in the OpenJDK containers

planetf1 — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 08:50:12 -0000

When trying this (openshift 4.11, openjdk 17, ubi9 )I noticed that the default max heap is set to 80% of the pod 'request' rather than 'limit'. Is this expected? What recommendations are there for request vs limit (specifically a development use case so overcommit less a concern)

Re: RHEL 9 VM guests on M1 processors with macOS Ventura

planetf1 — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 12:23:18 -0000

I tried 3 times to install RHEL9 but unfortunately each time I hit an error. First an unknown anaconda error. try 2/3 just seemed to get a frozen VM with maxed out CPUs, at different places.

Most likely bugs in UTM and/or Venture 13.1 (beta). Will revisit at a future point. Thanks for the idea anyway!

When setting up the advanced settings for the VM you noted that the DVD needs to come second, rather than first.

In current versions of UTM it's possible to simply drag the virtual iso drive (in the left section) down to be below the virtual hard drive :-)

Good news -- as a constant openshift user (developer: containers/charts/operator) using Venutra with Apple M1 max, it would be useful at times to run openshift efficiently. (though maybe a more mini version). for demos/offline working. Look forward to trying rhel9 version

Def agree — We use UBI containers, but the docs don’t always seem great

++ for Rancher desktop. Good support, nice dashboard. Though I do use podman, sometimes remote, it’s what I recommend ‘generally’ as it has the best ease of use whilst remaining free of commercial license constraints. The only gotcha I hit is that qemu’s networking as setup by rancher struggles with ICMP

Re: Running IntellJ IDEA with JDK 17 for Better Render Performance with Metal

planetf1 — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 06:21:33 -0000

Thanks so much! I've felt the same, and did try the jbr (with jcef) runtime, but did problems and didn't persue - the extra flags above now allows it to work for me, so I can try out the metal support (also using ext. 4K). I'm using 2022.1

Re: Slideshow: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, or Safari: Which Browser Is Best?

planetf1 — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 01:51:31 -0000

How come the compatability score for edge is so much lower than chrome, now that edge is also based on chromium. Is that a section of the article not updated from previous tests?

Re: Hyundai IONIQ 5 spotted charging 22-80% in 16 minutes – new charging king?

planetf1 — Thu, 04 Mar 2021 12:59:52 -0000

That sounds like the UK too.... Ok so chargers are getting more reliable, but still even the new chargers are being installed 1 or 2 at most locations. Occasionally there's 4/8 or more but it's rarer. Tesla - it's 8/12/16/24 ..... that's quite a difference. The ioniq looks amazing, but if I was driving a lot of LD, the tesla still surely rules (I have to decide between the two - current car goes back in april! help!)

Re: Smart Ticketing: The way ahead

Barcodes help with this a little, but NFC is much easier from a user's perspective

Re: Smart Ticketing: The way ahead

planetf1 — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 06:06:49 -0000

My local (SWR) station/route apparently doesn't allow smart tickets yet. My local operator (SWR) doesn't sell single/return smartcard tickets online. Smartcards are (IMO) being superceeded by contactless/apple pay/android pay, so THAT is where we need integration. I'd like to be able to have an app on my phone, buy my journey ticket, and use phone or watch to validate as I travel. Even better extend it to all contactless cards as with tfl (though I know the price range variation of tickets poses a greater challenge). Anywhere, any device

Re: BMW i3 vs Volkswagen e-Golf vs Nissan Leaf vs Renault ZOE

planetf1 — Fri, 04 May 2018 05:55:29 -0000

'best' is always a subjective time as it depends on your needs. I agree it's the best for me - rex, performance, style, fun, but then I could afford it. If I had to recommend best value (which actually is what many people want) I'd concur it's pretty much the leaf.

Re: BMW i3 vs Volkswagen e-Golf vs Nissan Leaf vs Renault ZOE

planetf1 — Fri, 04 May 2018 05:54:17 -0000

I had a Leaf mk.1 before the i3, then i3s. It was a good solid car - sure some things to improve, but good value for money. I am worried about their latest rapidgate and truly hope they get it resolved as we need confidence in the industry (and frankly the i3 is at the higher end of the market)

It may depend on country, in the UK 7KW (240V/32A) is pretty standard for public charge points and home charge units. We don't have many 11kW units though

Re: Introducing automatic VPN connection for Wi-Fi

It would be good to see this on the iOS app. I recently tried a competitor solution (vyprvpn) and noticed they had auto connect which worked well on iOS

Re: Rate Limiting on Three UK's Feel at Home Service

planetf1 — Tue, 16 May 2017 12:40:01 -0000

My experience has been similar, though I've not done detailed analysis. Some pages are very quick -such as social media, though facebook upload is SO slow. I've had issues with buying train & attraction tickets, downloading apps, let alone vpn, tethering, streaming. I'm verging on leaving three now.....

I also noticed the MASSIVE battery drain too -- I'd set about 20+ photos to upload to facebook and the app took about a day to upload them.... in the meantime I had to be tethered to a powerpack due to massive drain.

Frankly it's very poor

Re: What Is the Difference between iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 6s Plus?

planetf1 — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 05:39:37 -0000

Now that's a great question.

best sensible comparison article so far which sums up my thoughts. As to whether to upgrade - most of the changes I'm not bothered about. Shame battery isn't a bigger leap, or new screen tech. BUT the camera leap is appealing... in fact that's pretty much what it comes down to for me. Do I want better telephoto and portrait photos. Errr. Yes! I think that could be what swings my hands onto the keyboard and across my credit card....... Sigh, I thought I'd got off lightly this year.

Worth noting apple now have broadened their upgrade programme to include UK & China as well as the US

How about the chinese networks - qq / wechat etc? I would have thought they are huge?

Hi there. I'm looking for current links too (BMW i3 on the nov 2015 sw). I have an enet cable ready to go!

Re: EV Disruption

planetf1 — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 02:29:17 -0000

BMW is going to be formidable IMO. A lot of pre-release experimentation with Active E etc, then innovative MATERIAL design with the CFP in i3/i8 let alone the electric power done in 2 different ways. Now serious electrification happening throughout the range. Impressive. The other manufacturers are ramping up too. I don't think they'll be left out at all, they'll adapt.

Re: Three customers furious over steep bills hike – here's what you can do about it

planetf1 — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 05:52:31 -0000

Thanks Lucy but my prior experience with o2 was poor with data /3G and roaming not good value... I did look but likely to stick with three.

Writing this from the canaries so good test of roaming value.

I think my only decision is 200/600/unlimited minutes

Re: Three customers furious over steep bills hike – here's what you can do about it

planetf1 — Tue, 02 Feb 2016 14:15:18 -0000

I got the letter and was considering leaving. However as a high 10GB user, with occasional tethering and roaming three still offer the best deals for me...

So instinct nay be to leave but consider carefully the grass isn't always greener. Bt mobile had no tethering. EE roaming and plans are pricey. Vodafone is radically better but still struggles in areas not yet upgraded

which is brilliant because it's what you want. kids or no kids is fine, whatever the couple want...

that's disgraceful behaviour. They could have contacted you to ask first . So So rude to disregard your wishes. Hope you had a lovely day anyway.
