My servers can’t and shouldn’t run GUIs so you can take your “hot take” and stuff it... somewhere else. Choices are great to have. Advocating for fewer choices deserves the derision it’s been met with in the comments here.

I like the Zig+Git+TTY portmanteau.

Not sure if LXCs would help in that regard as I haven't used it for gaming but you can share a GPU between LXC guests and the host. I have an unprivileged LXC running in Proxmox that uses the GPU for transcoding video.

I was wringing my hands trying to decide between Ente and Immich for a while as I'm trying to de-Google. I went with Immich in the end, but Ente seems like a great alternative for anyone that doesn't want to self-host.

I've been using it for the last 3 years since I needed to use Macs for work and it is a boon compared to the janky/jarring native Mac app switching behaviour.

I went to check if Flatpak would protect against this but it seems although it's a wanted feature it's not so straightforward to implement: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4311

You could try running the smaller QAT Gemma 4 models but I doubt they'll be very good for software engineering work.

So many in the software world pretend to care about human rights for some kind of credibility that they're good people. I've seen Ukrainian flags all over GitHub on many profiles or repos but the same people will be silent on the

What's the best way to apply this to slightly more modern hardware - i.e. 5800XT 32GB DDR4, 9060XT 16GB?

Do you also post "Take it away from $OWNER" every time your open source software breaks?

> Now, the reason why it won't work on Linux is that the Linux kernel and Linux distros both leave that unified memory capability up to the GPU driver to implement. Which Nvidia hasn't done yet. You can code it somewhat into s

I would expect the M4 options to be cheaper than their M5 counterparts. Given how expensive Apple products are, I appreciate them offering both options at the same time. Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it do

I'd rather use the 2.4Ghz adapter rather than Bluetooth as the connection is supposedly more reliable (and less prone to latency issues) from what I've read. Anyway, after jumping through all those hoops I did get it working so I&

Interesting. Every place I've lived in has been older than that so that makes sense.

> It’s not uncommon to have a one bed flat with 2 phone sockets in the living room and 2 phone sockets in the bedroom and a master socket in the technical room. It’s ridiculous. This sounds a bit farfetched to me. I'm 40+ and live

So I cleared out one of my SSDs and installed Fedora yesterday. I still had the issue of no gamepad detection. I had to install xone which took some trial and error. Firstly, I didn't have dkms installed and secondly, soon after instal

I dual booted Fedora back when it was still called Fedora Core from version 6 until 11-ish. I had it installed on a laptop and had a lot of driver issues with it and eventually didn't bother with dual booting when I moved to a new lapt

I guess I'm in the minority. I haven't reinstalled on my desktop machine since 2014 according to the install dates of some of my apps. According to the Windows Registry I've gone from 7 Pro -> 8.1 Pro -> 10 Pro. Both up

It’s a shame the Framework founder refuses to back down on his stance of “neutrality” since the Omarchy/DHH incident.

I was about to comment to say that unless Valve is prepared to invest significant effort into an x86 -> ARM translation layer that's not going to happen but a quick search for "linux x86 to arm translation" led me to an XD

What else does Waterfox remove? Does it still support signining in with a Mozilla account to enable sync features? Would be nice to see a comprehensive list somewhere; I couldn't see anything on the Waterfox homepage or the GitHub READ

I only just upgraded to iOS 18 recently. I'm unlikely to go to 26 unless there's a good reason to do so.

I've been using an iPhone 11 for 4 years now (also, reminder: the 11 was launched 2 years prior to when I bought mine). I replaced the battery earlier this year as it wouldn't last to the end of the day any more but besides that i
