Sched-Ext finally in mainline!

Also increases baseline allowance, which will be super useful since my “portable” AC has been eating so much power this month.

The San Francisco Bay Area is having the hottest and longest heat wave of the year right now. I hate it. October shouldn’t be so hot. 90% of residences in SF don’t even have AC because it was almost never necessary 20 years ago.

I say “zeesh”. Like “sheesh” with a z.

Not sure how much longer I’ll be using the 5950x tbh. We’ve reached a point where the mobile processors have faster multicore (for the AI 370) than the 5950X without gulping down boatloads of power.

The Google antitrust decision will result in Mozilla losing 90% of their revenue since Google won’t be allowed to pay them to use their search engine anymore.

Mozilla is about to collapse due to the Google antitrust ruling though.

He’s not a candidate in this election, and Trump is older now than Biden was during the last election.

That just made me imagine a Rust rewrite of systemd

What about the installer? Anaconda isn’t great, but you only need about 1 minute to set the options to install and then let it do it’s job before rebooting.

Some also do have specific use cases where they work really well, like Tea Tree Oil for acne and nail fungus or Peppermint oil for nausea. Most of them don’t do anything though.

50GB for the simple dual layer discs. You can theoretically reach 100GB with triple layer disks. The largest BDRip I have is 90GB for the Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Edit: UHD Blu-ray only supports dual and triple layer disks, not quad. Quad layer discs do exist though, with up to 128GB of capacity.

I’ve been using a Raspberry Pi 400 with LibreELEC installed. Mostly watch 4K HDR Blu-ray Remuxes that I have on another machine with a Samba server. Works really well for me.

Another good option would be to have Jellyfin on a media server and cast to the TV or use the TV directly if it has a Jellyfin app (I know there are official apps for Roku and WebOS (LG)). Jellyfin is similar to Plex but open-source and fully local (no need for an external account).

Of course, this is only works for local media. For streaming, just use a Chromecast.

You can’t. Just wait for it to be stable

Bread and beer. The reason that modern civilization exists. Of course, the modern versions are quite different from the ancient ones

A line of code that enables the backdoor was out present in the tarball. The actual code was obfuscated within an archive used for the unit testing.

I like the way kde does it. On first install it gives a slider with how much analytics you want to send. I just do all of it because I trust KDE, but it’s nice that it asks you. They probably have some pretty good data.

I imagine you could find a lot of options. Just a quick google turned up ThinStation, which only needs 30-50MB if storage and 64MB+ of RAM. A bit outdated, but should work fine.

You could also make your own OS with LFS if you want to optimize it to the extreme.

Chrome is actually doing a lot of work to display modern webpages though. A thin client only needs to receive a video stream and send inputs to a server. That can be done with an extremely low memory footprint. The Steam Link only had 512MB of RAM and it actually ran a steam client (which contains embedded chromium) instead of acting as a pure thin client.
