Introduction What Is PCIe Bifurcation? PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) bifurcation is a technique that splits a single PCIe slot into multiple independent lanes, allowing various devices to share the bandwidth of a single PCIe slot. This approach was historically helpful in expanding connectivity options without requiring additional PCIe slots

Introduction Edge-TTS is one of those fascinating technologies with vague license and questionable legitimacy—yet it just performs. I Presume you've used the Edge-TTS Python package. In that case, you might already understand it taps into Microsoft's Bing Text-to-Speech API—the same API powering read-aloud functionality

Introduction I write this from a painful personal experience, an experience I never even thought about, let alone how to handle it when you can no longer Copy-on-write. COW filesystems like BTRFS are great for data integrity and snapshotting, but they have quirks. In this blog, we'll explain

Introduction In this article, I will examine OpenAI's API endpoints. Whose design has led many GPT providers to adopt similar structures and JSON payloads. I will cover the significant endpoints, showing example payloads for each, how to call them using Python and cURL, and what responses to expect.

Introduction Sentiment analysis is crucial in natural language processing (NLP), helping LLMs understand the tone and emotion behind text. Whether for chatbots, AI assistants, or content moderation, sentiment detection enables models to classify text as positive, neutral, or negative. In this technical deep dive, we'll explore: * Different approaches

Introduction Google Lighthouse is a powerful, open-source tool that audits your web pages and provides actionable insights to improve performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices. In this guide, we'll cover everything from installing Node.js and Lighthouse to understanding the key metrics in Lighthouse and ways to optimize

Introduction Keeping your mobile photos safe and accessible on your TrueNAS server is easier than ever with several robust, cross-platform solutions. You can choose the best method whether you're an Android or iOS user. This post will explore a few popular options and begin the setup process. 1.

Introduction If you're looking to improve the user experience on your blog, adding smooth scrolling navigation can help your readers quickly jump to the top or bottom of the page—or even scroll up or down by one viewport at a time. In this guide, I'll

Introduction Python is often considered slow, but it does support multithreading and multitasking. Understanding how it achieves concurrency is essential to effectively leveraging its capabilities. Key Points About Python Threads: * Python supports threads through the threading module. * The Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) affects how Python executes threads by limiting the

Introduction Ghost is a fantastic platform for blogging and publishing, but some themes do not include an option to open links in a new tab by default. Suppose you want external links in your Ghost blog to open in a new window. In that case, you can achieve this in

Introduction In today's data‑driven environment, uninterrupted access to storage is critical. This guide details converting the free version of TrueNAS—or any APT/Debian‑based system—into a robust two‑node high‑availability (HA) setup with shared, distributed, redundant storage. We'll walk you through re‑

Introduction OpenZFS (often simply called "ZFS") has long been valued for its robust data integrity, flexible storage configurations, and high-performance caching. While Arch Linux doesn't provide ZFS packages in its official repositories due to licensing conflicts, the community has made it possible to install and maintain

Introduction For over 12 years, I've personally deployed OpenZFS in server and workstation environments—ranging from simple spinning disk arrays to sophisticated SSD and NVMe configurations. This long‑term hands‑on experience has shown me that OpenZFS's innovative design isn't just about rock‑solid

Introduction Cloud computing has made building and testing custom operating systems more straightforward. In this guide, we'll start with a known Arch Linux instance, attach a second disk, partition and format it, and deploy your custom Linux archive (custom_linux.tar.bz2) into the new partitions (e.g.

Introduction When I was 17, switching a 286 CPU from real to protected mode and launching multiple tasks felt like wizardry. Protected mode was first introduced with the Intel 80286 (often just called the 286). While it provided basic protection features, it was the Intel 80386 that fully exploited protected

Introduction Entering kernel development is an adventure in both creativity and technical rigour. In my past project, I set out to build a Linux kernel module to support Intel's Gaussian & Neural Accelerator (GNA) – the dedicated AI accelerator present on the i9‑13900K. I scoured old email archives

Introduction In image editing, automatically removing the background is no longer a novelty—it's practically expected. From e-commerce product shots to social media posts, clean and precise background removal can significantly enhance an image's presentation. One well-known command-line tool that provides this functionality is rembg, which

Introduction In a world increasingly driven by data, having a robust pipeline to ingest, transform, and deliver information is essential. Whether integrating with an external API or consolidating data from multiple sources, an automated pipeline ensures you can reliably handle information at scale. This tutorial provides a hands-on guide to

Introduction Whether you’re entirely new to open-source software or a seasoned engineer looking to sharpen your knowledge, Linux is at the heart of countless computing environments—from personal devices to massive data centers. At its core lies the Linux kernel, the central program that manages hardware resources and underpins

Introduction As businesses increasingly rely on data-driven decision-making, the role of automation in software development and data management has never been more critical.
