All my troubles seemed so far away?

I was staring at that username for quite a bit after reading the comment saying that it was in their username. I did not get it, either.

Even knowing that there’s a trans flag, and that that’s what is in the username, I wouldn’t know what pronouns to use.

Plenty of options for dual SIM phones here, too.

Which makes it even more convenient to just pop in a local SIM while traveling.

My library has a banned book clubs for teenagers.

Books don’t get banned in my country, but they read and discuss books that are banned in other countries.

Also, you can check out a kill-a-watt to monitor your electricity consumption.

He also planned to have BcacheFS merged to mainline in 2018. Finally got it merged in 2023 (released in 2024).

Development will likely slow down a bit when things require more review, discussion and scrutiny now that it’s mainlined.

Let me quote the Wikipedia page.

Bcachefs describes itself as “working and stable, with a small community of users”. When discussing Linux 6.9-rc3 on April 7, 2024, Linus Torvalds touched on the stability of bcachefs, saying “if you thought bcachefs was stable already, I have a bridge to sell you”, and in August of 2024 that “nobody sane uses bcachefs and expects it to be stable”.

It’s been being for a long time. It finally got merged to mainline in Linux 6.7. Sounds like they started a lot of renovations after that. It’s still a bit too much in motion for me to consider it.

Performance and features look promising. I’ll revisit in 2030 if things have calmed down and they still have maintainers.

I’ve been running btrfs for 14 years. It has similar features and a proven track record. It doesn’t move as fast. That’s a good thing for a filesystem.

For an external display I’d bet the case is the hardware driver for the panel.

At least my 17" Powerbook G4 with a massive 2560x1440 display does it in the software display driver. I’m sure some laptop panels do it in hardware as well, but seems there’s some very janky shit going on at least with laptops that have both integrated and discrete GPUs.

My PowerBook G4 might be a bit dated, but running other resolutions than native is quite heavy on that thing. Your built-in display can handle one resolution only - anything else will require upscaling.

Your GPU can probably do that upscaling for cheap. But cheaper than rendering your desktop applications? 🤷‍♂️

You’ll have to benchmark your particular device with powertop.

IPv6 was “just around the corner” when I was studying 20+ years ago. I kept a tunnel up until the brokers shut down.

I’ve been hosting some big (partly proprietary) services for work, and we’ve been IPv6 compatible for a decade.

My ISP finally gave me native IPv6 earlier this year, which gave me the push to make sure my personal hosting does IPv6 as well. Seems like most big players services support it today. It’s nice to not have the overhead that CGNAT brings.

IPv6 got a bit of a bad reputation when operating systems defaulted to 6to4 translation but never actually managed to work.

From version 7.5 through version 7.6 onwards distribution of MaxDB (previously SAP DB) to the open source community was provided by MySQL AB, the same company that develops the open-source software database, MySQL. Development was done by SAP AG, MySQL AB and the open-source software community.

Wait, did I get his kids in the wrong order?

He does!

Say hello to MaxDB!

Their main product is telemetry and selling your watch history to advertisers.

That’s why Plex doesn’t work without an active internet connection.

The Android client seems to have dropped a few player engines in a recent update. Previously there was an option to use libvlc, omxplayer or a third option that I can’t recall. Seems the developer opted to go with the worst option.

The AndroidTV app can use external players such ss VLC. I went with kodi as a client instead.

I’ve been using qbittorrent for ten years, and now you’re telling me it has a search engine built-in?
