Who else would the bug fixes be for?
Who else would the bug fixes be for?
I was thinking about recommending TCL as a joke. My favorite thing about it is it’s “whimsicly typed.”
There’s all sorts of inappropriate ways to use a toaster where the failure mode is fire. Making toast in bed, under the covers? Catch fire. In a puddle of gasoline? Catch fire. Seriously, WTC toasters?
I guess I’ll find out. I have wondered if any of these are just scams.
when it started getting really bad, i started replying stop. it maybe made things a little better but i still get a fair number if these (including this one). it definitely hasn’t made it any worse.
Funny, I just finally gave up on it just a few months ago and moved on Quod Libet.
The problem is the less awful side’s awfulness is what lead to the growth of the scary-aweful side.
And, worse, the crumbs in the bed.
Does any of that explain the 404? An even 400ml is very close to 14 imperial ounces. 14.078. 404 makes it further off and a weird number in any units I’ve tried coverting it to.
Yes, it avoids the worst of stupid thumbnail patterns that the YouTube algorithm pressures people into. Yes, nobody is making an O face, and the title isn’t misleading. But this is still in a style shaped by those same pressures, and IS cringey to me. Titling something “I did such and such” and the visual style… does this not scream dumbed down for the algorithm to you? Five years ago you’d have wondered if this was targeted at children or something.
Listen, I understand why people who may have good quality content make compromises to reach more viewers. You might think i’m being excessively hard-ass about it, but in my opinion, playing ball with the algorithm just contributes to the problem. The fact that the style of this thumbnail has become so normalized that people can’t even see what I find objectionable, IMO, just demonstrates what a slippery slope this is.
I’m sorry I just can’t bring myself to watch a video whose thumbnail looks like that.
There is definitely a caveat with nvidia. The nvidia repo is managed external to the main repos, so it is possible for a new kernel to drop in the system repo and the nvidia repo not yet be updated with a compatible driver.
I always wait a few days on such updates and watch the mailing lists for problems especially from nvidia users. So far I’ve only experienced problems due to prime wonkiness that required re-running a couple of prime commands. I haven’t had to use the boot-from-btrfs-snapshot yet, but it’s a nice security blanket.
Tumbleweed? Could you have been looking at Leap?
I’d recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed instead. They originated the btrfs setup that lets you rollback in the grub menu, which has been copied by others. They are bleeding edge except that all packages go through an automated testing system before being rolled out so there’s much less breakage to start with.
I’d suggest checking out fish shell.
As someone who has always been cautious about SSD writes (possibly overcautious/ paranoid? Idk, some seem to think it’s not a concern with modern SSDs. But I haven’t really spent any time researching recently.) I always like to have a hard disk as well as an SSD and I put my writeback device and any swap partitions there.
Sorry this probably isn’t a helpful answer.
Sorry, it’s been a while since I read this stuff and I don’t have the links. The state of web searching these days sucks and I can’t easily find them.
One bit I remember was that a lot of the concern about LRU inversion in ZRAM that might make ZSWAP look preferable is out of date since the addition of a writeback option to ZRAM. I also remember people claiming that ZRAM had an advantage in being multithreaded.
FWIW I find this three year old answer saying the kswapd that ZSWAP uses is single threaded but there is a patch to make it multithreaded that significantly improves it’s performance. No idea if this is out of date.
I’m talking about ZRAM and I did mean writeback.
“With CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK, zram can write idle/incompressible page to backing storage rather than keeping it in memory.”
From https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.html
Aren’t their embedded systems that run the Linux kernel without the core-utils (maybe with busybox instead) and would therefore be non-gnu linux variants?
I haven’t tried slackware in some years, but doesn’t it require not minding that the version of everything be way dated? OP said “up to date”.
