zswap indeed is the real magic almost silver bullet nowadays. Device backed swap is often not needed anymore and it solves a lot of the issues with freezing under memory pressure, though it may not be ideal for servers. And if I have a sepa

There is censorship of illegal streaming sites crippling the internet (Cloudflare). People are being freightened from illegal iptv boxes to watch free sports because it could be part of a botnet or residential proxy network. There are milli

Somehow the EU only appears to target big wealthy service providers. I wonder why.

What I really hope for is searchable filters. With filter packs installed I simply cannot find them in slow scrolling menu list.

Apparently you only want wayland based DEs and considered the argument to be over for everyone. How wrong were you. Lot's of people don't want to use wayland until it reaches a certain feature-complete maturity. I for instance hav

Playing devil's advocate: the projection alone won't be the patent and probably is not patentable on its own, the patent will be about applying such projections for real-time navigation which brings non-obvious difficulties that m

Hoorah! Hopefully big distros will at least offer an optional upgrade to this. I'm all for people switching to wayland but there should be choice and xorg should not be neglected for ideological reasons.

Red Moon Desert is now my wallpaper for the rest of the week. Looking at it from a distance indeed may raise some brows.

Is it really that difficult? Does not seem to me. Maybe the law makes it needlessly difficult though. Company instructs you to code something (on your own or using AI) -> they own it You instruct an AI to code something -> you own it

Thanks for this, was not aware this was added. Though better would be to have a global option for this, and a tunable whether to filter this completely or only for persistent storage. For the last few days I have been monitoring journald wi

by jck86 1mo ago
The cherry on the cake is that you practically cannot filter journald. The only option is limiting by severity (e.g. errors and higher) or switch to non persistent journald storage and forward to rsyslog and filter there. Am a bit vague on

Checking the prices of the components of my build from 2020 is rather frightening. CPU and motherboard should be fine, but the rest of the main components not so much. Quick comparisons: my DDR4 ram is x2-ish (64GB - 342 -> 648 euros). m

Half the internet will be gated in the next two years. If you thought mfa for every silly little site was utterly annoying and social media was an invasion of your privacy then this next wave of digital surveilance will finally turn you int

You may be overthinking this. It is privacy that means little to the regular joe. The internet they use every day and it being changed beyond recognition is much more tangible than privacy being curtailed just a little bit more. And these a

Also was curious, it is Maria Callas. Opera singer. The angry one is Ludwig van Beethoven. I guess of the designs with people I only like designs E and F. There the expressions don't look too odd. Takes some getting used too though.

That's pretty terrible. I guess only design H looks like it could be real money. And what are the options they give? I guess historical people with weird abstract community settings or birds with office buildings. Is that all the EU re

Most people are in favor of solving world hunger, poverty, the wars and climate change. Until you hand them the bill. Likewise most people will not agree with age verification when actually implemented.

But it is needed to protect the children. The politicians say so, so it has to be true. Being against this is very dangerous to our children and democracy. There is no alternative. Seriously, there is something tremendously wrong with gover

For replaygain purposes simply ignore the spec and use RG 2.0 tags? That works with Opus too and hardly any players support Opus R128 gain anyway. For very low spec devices Vorbis would do a bit better though. For legacy devices legacy code

by jck86 3mo ago
Choosing a lossy audio codec has become such a no brainer. Either use opus and be done with it or if for some reason opus cannot be used then use aac for compatibility with insane high bitrate for good quality without having to do research

This was not a path mtu problem since it was random IPv6 endpoints having issues. And if all the IPv6 endpoints of a major service go down we should pin our mtu to the bare minimum? Nonsense. The inconvenient truth is that IPv4 will be more

by jck86 3mo ago
It is not widespread. Not for the major services at least. But saying IPv6 is better than IPv4 with lower latency due to better routing and lower overhead simply is not true. Apparently there are other factors at play that also matter a gre

There were indeed consistent failures to specific IPv6 endpoints, clearly identifiable through curl, while all the IPv4 endpoints were ok. This happened with pypi (IPv6 BGP routing problem caused by a bad route from one of our peers combine

In my experience not true in practice cause I have experienced way more issues with the IPv6 endpoints of sites than their IPv4 counterparts. This becomes noticeable when pipelines on IPv6 connected servers suddenly have random request&#x2F
