Thanks! This is timely. I just spent an hour of my working morning fiddling with my Ergo K860 keyboard after changing it from Bluetooth to Unifying receiver. Having to find the secret reset key sequence, swapping ports, restarting everythin

Using Victoria Metrics here. Very easy to set up and run. I monitor under 100 hosts and resource usage is low, performance is good. One gripe is that they recently stopped publishing tarballs for LTS versions, which caused some grumbling in

A new major release of the Linux kernel happens every ~8 weeks. There are usually 7 or 8 release candidates (-rc1, rc2, etc) released on successive Sundays during that period, followed by a release of the major version. That's the work

On one of my sites I received a million requests from Googlebot before lunchtime today. Those requests were spread over hundreds of IPs. I get similar traffic from them and other hyper scalers daily. I'm just one guy. I don't have

I'm a native English speaker. Since reading a discussion about this a few years ago and paying attention to the way we speak colloquially I've stopped saying "just" as often. In most cases you can communicate your point

It's suspicious that your account created 1 day ago and you say there are more powerful and more battery efficient offers available but don't give an example. P.S. writing to you from a six year old ThinkPad running Linux. I'

I dunno. Four years ago the MacBook M1 Pro was able to compile WebKit nearly as fast as the Mac Pro, and nearly twice as fast as the Intel-based MacBook Pro, and still had 91% battery versus 24% in the Intel-based MacBook Pro. Incredible.

Four generations into the new platform and there is no answer from anyone else in the industry. Incredible.

Wow, I hadn't realized that MySQL and MariaDB diverged so much! In the last year I've started seeing some prominent applications like Apache Superset and Apache AirFlow claiming they don't support—or even test on—MariaDB at a

I'm a zsh user with a slightly complicated configuration. Fish or something else more modern with sane defaults could lure me away some day. I want to like helix. I've been using vim for twenty years. I suppose I have to put in so

One small way I support Mozilla is to pay for Firefox Relay https://relay.firefox.com . It's $1/month and you get a lot of value for that. Being able to create email aliases on the fly to keep your real email private is

It has really gotten terrible. Between DDoS and bots from massive tech companies, it seems like I have several events a year where thousands or tens of thousands of IPs from a single datacenter (Singapore!) are making requests to some of my

Came to say something similar. I've been installing and updating Circos on our HPC cluster for bioinformatics users for over ten years. It was really popular in the early and mid 2010s!

This looks rad. An amazing engineering effort for such a niche problem. As a Linux user who writes code, I'm excited, but I can't help wondering: what is the business model of Zed Industries?

My thoughts exactly. I'm on sway / wlroots for years and don't know how people put up with wl-recorder. GNOME's screen recorder works so much better.

I've also been trying out Rye lately. I didn't realize it had bundled formatting and linting: Black Rye bundles Ruff for formatting (rye fmt). Ruff Rye bundles Ruff for linting (rye lint). So that's two less depend

systemd can run Node.js apps easily, but unless your applocation is doing something special for multithreading that is single threaded. PM2 makes it trivial to run an application in cluster mode.

Yes, good suggestion. I've also stopped using "just" when speaking or writing in the last few years. You can almost always drop it and retain the same meaning without sounding rude or dismissive. I've noticed this in at
