They call it a polyfill because it polyfills your disk

nah, but storage is cheap bro, you really should just buy another hard drive! don’t even think about going below 4 TB, of course!

atomic has had a meaning for a very long time in IT, don’t pretend that it’s something made up bullshit. with this thinking we could just throw out the word mutable/immutable too, what is it my computer is radioactive and I’ll get cancer from it? of course not, because it has a different meaning with computers, and people in the know (not even just professionals because I’m not one) know it.

atomic means that if multiple things would change, they will either change at once, or if the task failed none of it will change.
sometimes these are called transactions, suse calls it transactional updates. but is that any better? now the complaint will be that suse must have transacted away all the money from your bank account!

and distros are obviously not immutable, that’s just plainly misleading. we update them, someone does that daily. updating requires it to be mutable, to be modifiable.

what’s the benefit of packaging drivers that way? surely not permission separation

I think I have found something interesting, check my reply to the other reply

it can be, if the client downloads everything. I’m not sure if most Matrix clients do that, I think instead they use the serverside search api: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#server-side-search

though, after looking at it, it seems it has more features than what the element clients expose to us.
also, it seems it’s not specified how the server should treat the search term. I think I remember something that with synapse, it is just passed to postgres as it is, but maybe a different homeserver can choose to implement it with wildcard or regex support

well search is not that good, it can only find exact word matches for any of the words, but otherwise yeah. though I think telegram isn’t much better at this either

and also, time of “saving” is always correctly preserved

since your CPU has 16 threads (“cores” but not really cores, you probably only have 8 of that), if a process uses up all the capacity of a single core, that will have a 100/16 = ~6% cpu usage. In my experience looking for this really works… at least on windows, please don’t hurt me. it should on linux too, but there I don’t have it at such a visible place.

this may not work that much though when your system is under a higher load, and the process you’re looking for also has a higher CPU usage, like 30% or something.
in this case you’ll want to look for the cpu usage of the individual threads of processes with a higher cpu usage. if you have a process which has a thread with 6% cpu usage (in case of a 16 hardware thread cpu), then that process is at fault. by looking at the name of the thread you may even find out what is its purpose.

yeah, but hardware support and buggyness is still a question

yeah, VLAN interfaces and other kinds of virtual interfaces can also be used. I think you can even have multiple “sub interfaces”, that will receive distinct IPs from the local DHCP server

I don’t think they even know that there’s a possible choice. Common people don’t understand computers, not at this level.

Cars is a good example for another reason. Do we have new cars without a built-in internet connection and continuous user (and environment) tracking, and questionable remote control functions? Afaik we don’t.

oh! last time I checked it was still just a feature request. This is cool, thanks!

I could only find this in the documentation of it, though, so probably it’s being kept quiet for a reason: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/contributor/federation-architecture/

the state of it can be tracked by looking at these issues and these blog posts

but users would, for the most part, not tolerate removing the ability to boot any OS they feel like, so there’s enough pressure that locked shit won’t migrate down to all consumer hardware.

what makes you think that?

forgejo is like github copy, and is a fork of the relatively known gitea. so far there are no federation features

radicle is something similar, but as I understand, with distributed repo management. I don’t know the implications of this.

radicle also has an own cryptocurrency, and is entangled with web3.
while not all cryptocurrencies are scams, and probably the same applies to web3 projects, almost all of them are either scams, or useless for the purpose of using it as a currency. I don’t know how the radicle currency fares, but it made me distrust them somewhat when they started talking about that in their announcement channel, and the fact that since then the channel did not post much else did not help to gain back this trust

another reason for doing that 8s that inotify is not guaranteed to tell about every change. I think it’s in the inotify or inotify-watch man page

solely? I guess that’s quite far because a lot of other, equally or more important features are still missing

I’ve read about Aeon a few months ago, and it seems very nice, but I wish I would have jotted down what made me not consider it because all I remember is that there were a few
