University of Toronto ☛ Linux kernel NFSv4 server and client RPC operation statistics
What I think is going on is that Linux has decided to optimize its NFSv4 client statistics to only include the NFS v4 operations that it actually uses, rather than take up a bit of extra memory to include all of the NFS v4 operations, including ones that will always have a '0' count. Because the Linux NFS v4 client started using different NFSv4 operations at different times, some of these operations (such as 'lookupp') are out of order; when the NFS v4 client started using them, they had to be added at the end of the 'proc4' line to preserve backward compatibility with existing programs that read /proc/net/rpc/nfs.

PC World ☛ Why I'm switching to an eco-friendly laptop
Framework laptops, for example, have a modular design that makes it easy to swap out old parts for new ones, thus extending the life of the laptops. Acer Vero laptops, on the other hand, consist of recycled materials like oyster shells and post-consumer recycled plastics.
Choosing a refurbished laptop over a new one can help offset the environmental impact, as well. It takes a lot of materials to make a brand-new laptop, so by picking a refurbished one you’re circumventing that process. If you’re going the refurbished route, then I’d recommend buying from an official manufacturer. Getting a warranty with your purchase is always a good idea, too.

Ruben Schade ☛ But you can just disable your phone stabbing you!
The latest BSD Now! also reminded me of the Do-Not-Stab HTML header as well, which satirises online tracking and surveillance. The assumption that people wish to enter an adversarial relationship unless they opt-out really has to be nipped in the bud.
