   Good point. I'm using Debian as my Desktop for many years. I don't remember a "botched" system package upgrade in the last 5 years, but i've probably learned over years how to handle dpkg/apt. The atomic updati

   "Need" as in "will you use it?". I played around with snapshots once and never really used them. So i clearly don't have a need for them on my laptop. Journaling on the other hand helps data safety a lot and i think

   Over the recent years on every new laptop install i switched between filesystems, so i had ext3/4, btrfs and (currently) xfs on my system. I have to say, btrfs had the most glitches (a few years back), although it worked ok'ish (n

   So not true. I try Firefox once in a while, but Chrome still is more responsive and has the better UI -> better UX. Basically i am waiting for a Servo-based browser which will hopefully change the UX in favor of Mozilla again. Oh, and PL

   That's awesome! No scrolling is what prevents me from using alacritty. Hope this gets merged!

   I came to say similar things. After having had problems with ZFS (on Solaris) and btrfs, but never on ext4 or other "simple" filesystems i am wondering if i need and want all that complexity in my filesystem: And no, i don't.

   I'm from Berlin and happen to have found an awesome employer, who is constantly looking for talent, so if someone from Soundcloud needs a hint for a job in Germany, message me. Not that it would be hard to get a job in our industry, bu

    I'm curious what "don't need to be on the same LAN" means. If it would be exploitable over internet wouldn't you just write that oder even leave the part about LAN out?

    On the other hand: this post is probably on HN because someone read phoronix. So, why not give it credit for bringing such things to the attention of a wider audience? I'm a Debian user for a long time, but i don't subscribe to de

    Yes, just a casual glance. I usually don't really care about that. But from my point of view the share price says over a long period of time "this company is doing fine". The share price has been on a rise since many years. S

    I have the same issue. I don't think it's unresponsive in a sense of "slow", because page rendering and UI rendering is ok'ish... It drove me nuts when trying to enter an URL into the address field. (btw. you have t

    After seeing a youtube demo[[1] of how the aggressive parallelisation that is done in Servo (safely possible by using Rust) speeds up this browser, i'm really excited for Servo! Also, i think this will give us a great base for all kind

    One of the big problems of editors like emacs and vim is that they haven't had means for background processing for years. And no, multithreading is not hard if you design for it. It is very hard if you need to add it as an afterthought

    The projects goal is not to build a reactor but to study plasma physics. I'd guess the diamond window is surely industrial diamonds. Fun fact as well: There are inner plates for shielding which are screwed into place. The question is:
