I did not see this coming. I thought the “recent” new driver NTFS3 is the ultimate driver. You can bet phoronix will do performance comparisons once it is available in mainstream. Is performance the only reason or are there other technical reasons for creating this new driver?

For me I was using SearXNG for years now, by rotating public instances. So this private one is basically the same, just private. The search results are really not great to be honest. That’s why I sometimes used other search engines back and forth, especially if the instance got blocked a lot or was no longer available. And a few times I still access Google directly, if the prior search results were nonsense. Most of the time the search results with SearXNG are satisfying enough for me that this is a non issue. I’m okay paying with a bit inconvenience or worse results. I’m not dependent too much on web search anyway.

It wasn’t like that before Ai. And since rise of Ai, the quality went down and not only for bounties. So this is not a problem with bounties. Now that the quality of reports went up and is not much of an issue anymore, we can assume it will not an issue anymore with bounties coming back.

In short, bounties are not the cause of the low quality reports.

bounty also encourages good reports. So your argumentation is that the bounty program is the reason why reports were bad lately? I don’t think that is the reason and bringing it back will not make it that worse again.

Does that mean the bug bounty program will come back?

Oh… :D But you were right.

Sleep doesn’t work well in some environments, like right now my current one using AMD+AMD hardware on EndeavourOS. Therefore I do boot. And couldn’t care less for 10 seconds faster or slower boot times.

First I wanted to install with podman, but the instructions wasn’t clear about it. And I’m not very familiar with docker much, just used podman to build a cross platform app with Rust (little unrelated I know). So I could not figure this out and looked into the AUR. To my luck that worked out pretty well. Maybe I will look into the docker again in the future, if I want do a cross device installation (access from other devices). Right now, I’m not comfortable doing that.

I encountered such programs in the past. It’s basically simple HTML with JavaScript, to run with my “favorite” browser and not being packaged as an Electron app. But that is very rare. Still better than dependent on the server, which solves a huge issue (which was my point). But the other point isn’t solved, if the person is “forced” to use a browser he or she does not like.

Well you have more control over it and not dependent on the server. Also it should be more private I guess. I’m not judging, just asking if there was no native app that you felt forced to use a worse browser.

Aren’t there native applications being able to do that?

Since they are adding Ai to the browser, it seems the quality and security standards are reduced.

There were parts compiling though, such as Valkey I think at least.

I think you don’t understand what LFS is. It is not a distribution you move on to, you build it from the ground up yourself following instructions and understanding how it works. Gentoo does all of that for you, you just have a ready to go distribution where you compile applications from source; you can even use binary builds to avoid compiling complicated and big apps.

I hope the downloaded collection will be uploaded to the Internet Archive. This would be a pretty cool preservation.

Science.

What is “The Year of the Linux Desktop” exactly? How do we measure this exactly and what does that even mean? (I use that phrase for memes usually.)

I don’t know how far you compare, as I only know him since I saw the Tetris video (with the great reveal part). He is not the only one that speaks lot slow, there is at least one another YouTuber (in a different context, but still gaming). Initially I suspected they slowdown videos to get longer playtime. But maybe not.

No, that is not what it was about. I know, don’t run sudo yay, but rather just yay and wait for password request. What it was is about a configuration to not ask password anymore, a passwordless package manger.

Hey, I didn’t meant this to be removed or anything; was just sharing my personal opinion. Everyone can do whatever they want, as long as they are aware of consequences and get teached about it. I’m just a bit paranoid, that’s all.
