flux,

The pins are part of the window, so… You can access old closed windows through the history menu, which I believe works after starting a new session after quitting it.

flux,

I suppose it explains why people have a bad attitude about Wayland when tools providing useful functionality are described as trojans.

X11 can (…mostly…) have great security by just providing a suitable X Security module to it. It just seems it wasn’t considered that big of an issue that anyone bothered. Nokia Maemo/Meego used to rock such a module.

flux,

By that logic, is the compositor working any different than a trojan? Is there really a difference?

The Wayland compositor is always capturing all your keyboard and mouse as well. No permissions asked. Pretty sus.

I have 64GB RAM and my 64GB swap still gets filled to 60% over time.

It just happens so that apps end up touching some memory once that they never then use again. Better use some SSD for that instead of RAM.

flux,

It’s two commands to grow the / fs on the fly:


<span style="color:#323232;">lvextend -L+10G /dev/mycomputer-vg/root
</span><span style="color:#323232;">resize2fs /dev/mycomputer-vg/root
</span>

So don’t worry about it. LVM is great :).

flux,

I suppose they could implement smooth panning in high fps even if actual updates would be slower… though it might look funky.

flux,

It doesn’t actually detect moved code, though, like git diff can? I gave it a shot and also there’s a couple issues open about it, e.g. github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/issues/520 .

Other than that, difftastic is quite nice.

flux,

Here’s one sharp edge: defrag will unshare file contents so sometimes it’s not just feasible to do it.

flux,

If you can do that, you already had enough space for reflinking not to matter in the first place, right? Or you can carefully do defragmenting in parts, running dupremove incrementally? seems like a lot of wasted time :).

flux,

And how about the actual speeds they are used with? Another poster suggested the maintenance costs of traditional speeds skyrocket as speed increases, while maglev doesn’t really have a lot of stuff that wears down in the first place.

flux,

Speed records aren’t usually representative of regular use top speeds, are they?

flux,

I was under the impression cross-site cookies are a standard feature per the RFC, though? Or is Patreon using some kind of non-standard extension?

flux,

I rather enjoy Tilix. It can tile a single tab without tmux and it can also give special handling to links matched from regexps. I use it to go from Python stacktraces to correct line in Emacs with just a click. It can also do Quake-like terminal, which I use alot.

The project is looking for maintainers, though, so it’s possible at some point I need to start looking for alternatives…

flux,

It still loses to HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+6 with Tc = 133–138 K at normal air pressure, though. (I assume it’s normal air presure as the article doesn’t say the pressure for it, while it refers to some others as high-pressure ones.)

Maybe LK-99 still has other benefits, such as not using mercury.

flux,

Trains don’t leave exhaust in the upper parts of the atmosphere, though, and depending on how the electricity was created, it could be neither did its energy source—though I suppose there’s no avoiding that manufacturing any kind of plant and the train itself did cause emissions.

flux,

For reference vaclavsmil.com/wp-content/…/January2019.pdf says

Jet airliners are surprisingly efficient, commonly requiring around 2 MJ/pkm (=3.22 MJ/pmile). With full flights and the latest airplane designs, they can do it at less than 1.5 MJ/pkm (=2.41 MJ/pmile)

So 6x is still a big difference. Not sure what I expected, but maybe this is smaller.

flux,

Admins can and do use email server block lists, though, so maybe that’s a great example.

I suppose you’re right–for now. But at some point Lemmy etc will grow large enough to make manual blocking infeasible. Just how much effort does it take to start a new instance even today?

flux,

In other words, if all the billionaires just ceased to exist, it would result in the humanity achieving the emission goals?

Thomas Gleixner aims for "decrapification" of Linux APIC code, longs for removing 32-bit code (lore.kernel.org)

Thomas Glexiner of Linutronix (now owned by Intel) has posted 58 patches for review into the Linux kernel, but they’re only the beginning! Most of the patches are just first steps at doing more major renovations into what he calls “decrapification”. He says:...

flux,

I doubt there would be a measureable benefit: after all, the kernel is already compiled without 32-bit support, and the code related to it just doesnt exist in the resulting binary. I assume there could be some small exceptions, though, like choosing to do something in a certain way so that the same approach will also work for 32-bit, and opting for another approach would perform better in 64-bit. That’s just a guess, though.

It’s mostly about maintenance load.

Btw, with PAE the host can have more than 4 GB of memory, so the limit would only apply to individual processes. Still quite feasible to use that kind of system even in the modern day–even if the browser can sometimes become quite large… And then there are of course the numerous embedded applications.

flux,

A patch contains more than the changes: it contains the commit message. In open source projects, and in particular in CVE fixes, the commit message can indeed be quite descriptive. It needs to be!

You’re still right, though. But I like to think professionals are able to verify the changes with the high-quality commit message—possibly in less time than investigating the issue themselves.

flux,

I think I could easily enjoy the gesture, however it’s way too easy to trigger. It’s like a one centimeter movement on a tablet. E.g. the Android app switcher needs a much bigger movement to trigger app closing.

flux,

^Zkill -9 %1 is the only way.

kill -9 -1 if that doesn’t work.

flux,

It comes from the words “Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping”.

Yeah, the name hasn’t aged well…

flux,

Just keeping a single frame buffer image can take tens of megabytes nowadays, so 100MB isn’t all that much. Also 64-bit can easily double the memory consumption, given how pointer-happy the ELISP data structures can be (this is somewhat based on my assumptions, I don’t actually know the memory layouts of the different Emacs data structures ;)).

But I don’t truly know, though. If I start a terminal-only Emacs without any additional lisp code it takes “only” 59232 kilobytes of resident memory. Still more than I’d expect. I’d expect something like 2 MB. But I’ll survive.

flux,

Do share if you have experiences using yabridge with the flatpak distribution of Bitwig! My existing setup did not work with that, but the deb version worked ok on Debian, so I keep using that.

flux,

Thanks for the links! Once flatpak/yabridge works great I’ll be able to use it with SteamDeck :).

I wonder though if this might need some additional functionality in flatpak itself…

flux,

One other thing is that you can bulk create your own instances, and that’s a lot more effort to defederate. People could be creating those instances right now and just start using them after a year; at least they have incurred some costs during that…

I believe abuse management in openly federated systems (e.g. Lemmy, Mastodon, Matrix) is still an unsolved problem. I doubt good solutions will arrive before they become popular enough to attract commercial spammers.

flux,

There is the DJVU format for this exact use case, but you’d need to convert them to, say, pdf for many use case. Its also a bit old and perhaps not maintained, soo…

HEIF and other modern video encoders (HEIF=H265) should fare a lot better than JPEG, though.

flux,

I believe it’s quite possible that there is no information where a removed file belonged to in exr4fs and it’s ilk; after all they also have concept of “lost and found” files, and files there also don’t have that information. If the directory they were contained in gets overwritten in a form that the file is not there, then the information is likely gone; along with the name of the file.

Just get a secondary device, recover everything you can, pick the files you needed. Consider yourself lucky if you get to restore the file you lost.

Good luck recovering your files! For future I recommend making backups. I use kopia, borgbackup is also popular.
