Many have different definition of 'help' where they expect the job to be done for them, and not just a help in a form of advice. That's flaweed though.

Oh, for a several sessions? Yes, this sounds useful. I usually just switch to systemd-nspawn --ephemeral containers derived from my host rootfs for such cases, not to pollute the rootfs at all.

1. IPFS has addressable content The main drawback of BitTorrent v1 file hashing scheme inside the .torrent file is that it makes a virtual stream of the directory you want to share, splits that stream…

IPFS (at least initially) was designed to be a BitTorrent replacement, a new version of it, which you can use not only with a special software, but also via HTTP and also directly inside the browser. …

Also used it several times for almost-live video broadcasts, served over cloudflare ipfs gateway while it was working. It used HLS with .ts files, in a special way which circumvented cloudflare protec…

I use it for about 5 years, to publish javascript file (proxy auto-configuration) and serve the contents over different gateways. It is a huge server traffic saver. Used to use it to host different st…

The interface design reminded me of yunohost a bit.

For HDD, it also needs to be tuned. In its default configuration, MGLRU 'just' manages multiple generations of working sets, but there's a min_ttl_ms tunable which tries hard to prevent…

And not a word about MGLRU and its settings. It has the biggest impact on performance on lower-end PCs, especially with low amount of RAM and slow HDD. Here's a post from "le9" patch us…

It is not exactly well documented, dpkg-buildpackage (debhelper) has cross-compilation wrappers for autoconf, cmake, qmake, meson, ninja, ant, perl/python, maven, gradle, bmake, golang, probably …

Wow, no cross-compilation as a feature?! Architecture emulation with qemu-userspace is 5-10x slower than running a native build. The only 'proper' no-friction cross-compilation system I know…

Gemma e2b, Gemma e4b. It's made for smartphones basically. You can run e2b with 8GB RAM.

You can read why people prefer 24 fps movies instead of high-fps ones. I'm quite puzzled by the article. Animations in software are transitions, it should not be perfect in UI sense, because it m…
