You will always need some sort of oom killer unless you have endless memory (or swap space, which comes with its own problems in the form of grinding your system to an almost halt). Imagine all memory is in use, then some system critical task (or even the kernel itself) needs memory as well. If the kernel can’t kill a less important process to free memory in such a situation you might just crash your system.

Hearing Snow by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers while my mom is folding clothes (thats a very specific one). I have no idea how old I was exactly but I remember it vividly. The funny thing is that I didn’t understand a word of the song as german is my native language. Recently I stumbled across the song again and suddenly, as if struck by lightning, I remembered this weird mundane situation as if it was yesterday. The human mind is so weird.

and you can afford to lose everything in the case of a power cut

But ext4 is a journaling filesystem, so a power cut shouldn’t harm it.

I have no idea about apple design guidelines and am not a UX designer, but wouldn’t a horizontal seperator look better? In gtk i would add one here, gives some extra space and more visual seperation.

I was the same, but I recently gave zig a try, it’s lovely to write.

Managed to segfault the compiler though, so maybe not quite ready yet.

So I don’t even use systemd myself I run OpenRC. Yet honestly I find the idea quite intriguing, having the service manager (PID 1) invoke the command seems like a cool idea to me.

It’s not really a sudo alternative as much as it is another way of doing something similar.

Hey LKW fahrer hier, mach gerade meine 45 Minuten Pause (-;

LKWs haben zwar tote Winkel Spiegel und ich muss sagen dass ich darin eigentlich bis jetzt immer alles sehen konnte (fahre erst seit ein paar Wochen), aber rechts habe ich 4 Spiegel, da geht schnell mal was unter oder man wird (leider) faul, so wie manche PKW Fahrer keinen Schulterblick machen. Habe bei meinen Einschulungsfahrten Fahrer gesehen, die garnicht erst in die Spiegel geschaut haben beim abbiegen. Der Warner in den LKWs meiner Firma piepst automatisch wenn er bei eingeschlagenem Lenkrad oder Blinker was erkennt, so ist man zumindest aufmerksam wenn doch mal etwas rechts neben dem Auto ist.

Tote Winkel gibt es aber zumindest auf jeden fall direkt hinter dem LKW, da gibts auch keine Spiegel für. Wundert mich manchmal selbst wenn aus dem nichts ein Auto zum überholen ansetzt das ich hinter mir garnicht kommen sehen konnte.

Sonst ist eigentlich alles gut durch Spiegel abgedeckt. Trotzdem bitte vorsicht rechts neben und direkt vorm LKW. Kein Fahrer fährt euch gerne an.

Alternatively you can launch sudo inside a terminal window. For example with xterm: xterm -e sudo [some command] [some arguments] […] This will pop up a terminal window to type your password in.

Pretty sure almost all terminal emulators have a similar argument.

In München könnt i ma wahrscheinlich ned mal an Karton am Straßenrand leistn ;)

Normalerweis trink i Augustiner, kriegts in Österreich aber nur in den großen Geschäften. Zipfer is von den Brauunion Bieren mMn. eh noch eines der besseren.

Also tiktok really only makes sense with a big algorithm knowing what users want to see. Even if you were to follow many people, with the average video being only about 30 seconds long you won’t have much content to enjoy. The whole short form video thing is kinda built on knowing what your user likes and doesn’t. I don’t know how you could design such a platform without some privacy concerns.

Die Föderation scheint immer noch ein wenig defekt. Hochwählis und Kommentare von euch seh ich immer noch nicht. Aber 0.19.2 ist ja bald da, hoffentlich klappts dann wieder.

Wenn ihr mir antwortet seh ich das nicht ),:

Never worked with nim or godot, but it is able to call c routines? So I guess you would be able to call to gdnative?

Likely isn’t gonna be beatifull, but it should work.

Well we’ve had binary packages for ages for big builds like firerox and default is still to use source packages.

Still I’m really excited for this, having the whole, or big parts of the package tree, will speed up initial installations by a lot on weak arm systems for example. Now initial installation can be done quick and later you could still compile stuff yourself for the full gentoo experience.

Also I find their Zorin OS Pro offer a bit scummy. Now the themes do look nice, but few would spend 50$ for a few themes. So they advertise having 5000$ worth of professional creative alternatives bundled. In screenshots you’ll then see Kdenlive, Blender and Inkscape. I don’t know what to think about the fact they want 50$ for bundling a few themes and free software. If they had just kept the stupid 5000$ part out I would have been fine with it, professional support can be great for people switching over from windows, but this seems a bit scummy to me.

Wayland is a Display Server Protocol, meaning it is a specification of how a program wanting to display something like a window communicates with another program, the display server, which handles drawing to the screen.

It matters because it vastly simplifies and modernizes display server infrastructure.

X is huge, with many parts from the 80s and 90s that were simply not needed today, creating a fully compliant X Server with all extensions was pretty much impossible, which is the reason pretty much only X.org existed as a full implementation.

Some benefits for users are no screen tearing, VRR and support for more complicated setups like having multiple monitors all with a different refresh rate, which was a pain in the ass on X but is no problem on wayland.

X is going to die, especially with the fact that frredesktop and the two big DEs, GNOME and KDE are working on it. Some distros come with wayland by default already.

If I develop anything with a GUI I use GTK4. It has a bit of a learning curve to it but honestly I’ve come to like it.

I am currently creating a program for simulating networks and the drawing area is great for drawing the actual simulation because it basically allows you to have a cairo area as a widget so your possibilities there are basically unlimited and cairo is just a great drawing API.

Also gtk is basically the only modern GUI toolkit that can be used with C, which is great because it is pretty much the only language I know well enough to program a big application with. (But GObject still feels like black magic to me)

I use gentoo everywhere, from my nas to my webserver and my pc and laptop.

With binhost and distcc it’s really not bad and the customizability is just unmatched.

I am running gentoo on 4 different systems currently.

Setup can be a bit of a hustle, especially on exotic hardware (one of my devices is a Pine64 Quartz64) but once it’s running maintenance isn’t that big of a deal, an emerge —sync && emerge -avdu @world per week generally is all the maintenance I do.

Also if you want to learn about linux there is probably no better way except LFS which will not leave you with a system you can easily use in day to day work.

I say give it a shot if you have the time and are willing to learn and troubleshoot!
