New comment on How to enable hibernation on Fedora Linux:

Daniel Aleksandersen

Performance will primarily depend on your I/O and RAM speed.Faking from sleep is nearly instantaneous, hibernation is a tiny bit slower than a normal system startup.

New comment on How to enable hibernation on Fedora Linux:

Mike Schwager

I am thinking of doing this because my computer consumes too much power when it sleeps. How long does it take to go into and come out of hibernation? I wonder if it's worth it. I'm annoyed by the power draw during sleep but I'll be annoyed more by a long wake time from a hibernate state. Thanks.

New comment on How to run Windows 10 in GNOME Boxes (and fixes for common issues):

Seth

Does the networking work right out of the box without any special configuration? I've installed Windows 7 in a box and it installed the Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet adapter which seems to be working. No ability to ping outside hosts however. Shared folder does not show up because I can't access the web site to install Spice client tools.

New comment on Windows now blocks Edge browser competitors from opening links:

David

Is there a source for the claim that Edge ever unpinned other browsers? I'm trying to verify it before I repeat it.

New comment on Opera Unite tried decentral­izing the web ten years ago:

Anonymous

I used Unite back when it first came out. I thought it was the coolest thing including the chat room. It reminds me of an early version of Discord where its a room people could join at any time. The issue was I couldn't get friends and family to bother with it. It seems like the big push to the "cloud" has pushed us further from controlling our own communication and files and has allowed corporations and governments to spy on us more. Unite was ahead of its time and required people to care about things they just couldn't understand.
