I would posit that any device that can't be jailbroken is a walled garden. Whether the wall is made of an app store or an operating system, it's not yours if you can't do what you want with it.

Corporate devices that can't be jailbroken are also a problem. It's a right-to-repair and e-waste issue.

I've traveled from the US to various parts of Europe, Central America, and Asia. Most regular people I've met, despite as different a background as you would ever run into, are indeed not so different and are pretty easy to get al

Lower memory use == higher speed. Memory bandwidth is conserved with less to transfer; this is the biggest bottleneck. Compressing your filesystem generally makes storage faster as well.

Packages are signed, and contain manifests to check for file conflicts and help with cleanly uninstalling. The script installer might make bad assumptions during install that a package manager would catch.

Podman is rootless by default and is pretty darn easy.

Please stop spreading this toxic curl|sh nonsense. It's wildly corrosive to security and system stability.

The problem is that the tooling for creating, importing, and managing images is not as good with systemd vs Podman/Docker. There's also no clear path to import images from the Docker ecosystem, at least as far as user experience g

His owning of a volcanic island is what solidifies him as a Bond villain for me.

Huh. You read that as whataboutism. I just saw "this is also bad, let's list the offenders". Not an excuse or normalization, but an expansion of scope. It may not be terribly useful or relevant in this instance, but I tend to

If you add zstd to the comparison matrix, it wins on both speed and compression ratio. Its adoption is quickly catching up to xz as a result, and I expect it to approach gzip in availability in a few years.

Awww... It's a plugin for VSCode. I've long since moved to Zed and don't want to wrangle multiple editors :(

I think my choice of the word "dismantle" has caused some confusion. "Cleanly dismount, and ship back whole" is what I meant. If nothing is destroyed, they can't charge your with destruction. If the item is returned

Better yet, dismantle them without harm and send them back with no return address. Reduces what you can be charged with, prevents Flock from getting insurance benefits, and is all the more frustrating for them to deal with. > I found thi

Vortex at one time did have a native Linux version. IIRC, it had very minimal game support, lagged behind the main branch, and was eventually canceled. I don't think they're interested in contributions for native Linux. A separate

It's not quite that high anymore, and they hard-split the NSFW stuff out to civitai.red So the main site can be respectable enough for payment processors. There's plenty of SFW stuff to go around now.

If you're all on Android, the inability to dogfood iOS will hinder that "get the user experience right", won't it? Not being an app developer, I'm curious why a cross-platform framework wasn't chosen. Aren&#x27

PCIe is a switched protocol. We ought to have had better options to make better use of the limited lanes by now. There are a few cards with switches that can give you multiple M.2 slots on x4, but that's only with gen3, which the lates

I'm still pining for Optane to make a comeback.

I will not miss the awful, half-duplex protocol that never should have won over SAS. I just wish that PCIe switches and cheaper eMMC/UFS flash on M.2 were available for more flexible and cost effective storage options.

If by "deep integration" you mean "unit generator", then sure. There isn't much I've seen beyond that, nor are there many systemd features being used that version drift would cause an issue for. Static podman i

So use a static build of podman. They're readily available.

by MrDrMcCoy 6mo ago
The quadlet feature is just part of podman, which consists of no more than a generator for systemd. Generators are just an executable "hook" that spits out unit files according to systemd-defined paths. Any systemd system with pod
