It's funny the most "consistent user experience" I have day-to-day is on GNOME.

Huh, viewing the graph "adjusted for inflation" this seems to suggest to me streaming has solved the crisis of making money for artists? It seems like there's a sharp jump for the 20s a…

I believe that's the case too. However speaking with my manager I think the long term plan is to dump it for RHEL - too bad because I'd like it on my resume :-) Not every day you can play wi…

Yes I feel like OpenBSD can be a great system for this use case, but the prior owner of this system had neglected it. Now it's still on 5.6 and who knows how much cruft has built up. It's cu…

I mean this seems to be rapidly changing. A lot of the AWS guys I know are learning on their ARM instances. A few even run them in prod.

Probably the best method. I believe most applications our either our own (some Golang tools, for some reason?) or basic base applications (migration to relayd instead of nginx as a proxy is probably …

Luckily, I believe a lot of the applications are our own and the rest are in base or with a good upgrade path (nginx). My only concern is if I'll find missing packages for such old releases - I g…

How do you do that at the Apple Store?

I had a power outage corrupt UFS and another indecent due to a kernel panic while debugging a WiFi driver. I've run Linux on various filesystems for significantly longer and have never seen files…

Maybe someone here would have advice for upgrading ancient OpenBSD installs? I inherited some 5.x OpenBSD systems at my current job and I'm really curious how I'd go about upgrading to 7.4 -…

I agree, a modern FS is the biggest oversight in OpenBSD for me. I can overlook a lot of things, but filesystem corruption isn't one of them.

I believe PassKeys are fixing that.

Some sort of Atom chip would be my guess.

Yes the R60 supports adding a Core 2 Duo via the socketed chip. https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:R60 …

> FreeBSD 15.0 is not expected to include support for 32-bit platforms. However, 64-bit systems will still be able to run older 32-bit binaries. > ... > With the current support schedule, sta…

I’ve come around to using btrfs as basically ext4++ but ZFS is head and shoulders a better product. This article is somewhat outdated but the author is knowledgeable on the subject https://…

This is a very Stack Overflow response but, yes, don’t use USB for any storage you expect to be reliable.

OpenBSD is many things but performance isn't something I rely on it for.

Yeah I hear a lot of people bring up the battery life thing but the Apple Watch and wearOS devices are fully functional computers in their own right. If you do want a fitness appliance of sorts it…

>Already there are no 20 year old and few 30 year old geeks. lol, lmao even.

Eh, in 2023 it feels like most peoples experience with Windows is less “Personal” Computer and more “Appliance work sent me”. I’m pretty sure a lot of that is set by IT.

Shouldn't that be handled by the native platform? I have a thinkpad from 2008 with dedicated volume keys...

I mean yeah, if you don't trust the devices on your network...don't add them to your network?

I think we should use X12, personally.

Why would E2EE matter for something like Matrix when you're trusting third party servers anyway?

I’ve had the best results converting normies with Telegram first and Signal as a second. while I do love the values of Matrix it’s still reallly rough. Matrix 2.0 seems to be changing a lot of that h…

Auto-revoking permissions has been a feature of Android since Android 11 in 2020 https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/09/28/android-11-can-auto... …

I think the less advertised feature of iOS 17 “Personal Voice” is probably laying the ground work for features like this along with the “Voicemail Screening” feature people are mentioning. https:…

Yeah I feel like Samsung has a very good value proposition in 2023. I guess my biggest thing is it requires you to remove all the bloat and adware as a prerequisite.

Indeed, it's hard to overstate how bad of an experience it is. The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP, a wiki) https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page vs the Elder Scrolls &qu…
