I've never lived in those, but my sister lived in Boston and didn't own a car. Income tax is progressive, so a higher income tax is probably less relevant to you if you are housing-insecure. Sales tax is regressive, but is maybe

I've had only one issue with ejabberd (didn't read the docs close enough and had to move from mnesia to sql when I hit the size limit) in over a decade of self-hosting it. Knowing which XEPs you actually want is a bit of a pain, b

Meanwhile in areas where housing is absurdly expensive, other things aren't as expensive, so 1/2 is totally doable. E.g. if a studio is $2000/mo you have $24k/year for all other expenses, which is probably fine?

If there are N houses available in the bay area and FAANG hires a total of more than N people from outside the bay area at a median $X/year, then the median cost of a house will be more than the most house that someone making $X/y

For making compact high-quality jpeg files, consider trying jpegli[1], it does an impressive job. More specifically, if I try a bunch of AVIF quantization options and manually pick the one that appears visually lossless, it beats jpegli, bu

Each pixel would represent roughly 16cm^2 using a cylindrical equal-area projection. They would only be square at the equator though (representing less distance E-W and more distance N-S as you move away from the equator). No projection of

IIRC they benchmarked it as "not much better" than AVIF, not inferior.

I like X11 better than Wayland, but it's kind of hard for me to be mad at other people for ... not doing something I'm also not doing?

Hah, that actually works, thanks! Is it possible to do the permission-set remotely?

Last time I tried krdp, it didn't fit my needs. I needed to have already started krdp locally if I want to connect remotely. Neither x11vnc nor freerdp-shadow have that limitation.

I think The fact that people e.g. run the ydotool service as root is an example of this. It's like making a safe that is so hard to open that people just drill a hole in the bottom; you end up with something less secure than a safe th

I will build or buy an IP-based kvm that plugs into my hdmi port and has passthrough for the local monitor before I use GNOME. I used GNOME for many years, but nearly every UX decision they have made in the past 20 years has been the polar

If that really meets my needs, that will pull me away from KDE to a wlroots based compositor. I'll try it later, thanks.

Wayland was started primarily by those who were maintaining X11. There is almost nobody who is both capable of working on X11 and wants to work on it. The redesign also reflects their priorities. The best analogy I can come up with is ima

Wayland is missing one thing still for me. Perhaps someone can tell me there is a way to do this: 1. ssh into a machine with a running session 2. start (something) that lets me remotely connect to it Right now I have two working solutions

Yes, I always preferred the short term with renewals; I didn't realize that it used to be the creator not the publisher. I wonder how that would interact with the current "work fore hire" laws that exist.

This is price discrimination. Everybody would love to charge more money to rich people and less money to poor people, since that increases the total profit. The only companies that we directly allow to do this are schools, but having a pre
