Is Apple Notes a TOTP program? At least where I do my thing, on AndOTP, there's a plainly obvious backup and restore function that saves or reads from a file. Doesn't get much simpler than that.

AVIF practically comes along "for free" by just having AV1 support in the first place.

And Mozilla waited for libwebp to reach 1.0 before making the plunge to support it in Firefox. One of the main issues was that libwebp was willing and frequently made backwards-incompatible changes to the codec in the 0.x days; Google simpl

I mean, WebP is _okay_ but it leaves a lot to be desired, even when it comes to image quality compared to the old 1992 JPEG standard; coupled with mozjpeg making giant leaps to get old-school JPEG file sizes drastically smaller without cost

In what ways can Rust be considered a complex language? It's not very much larger than C, after all. Well, I suppose the standard library is actually, well, standard, instead of a de facto standard.

TOTP with proper diligence (backing up your codes) is just about the best of everything. You aren't dependent on any third parties for an MFA factor; your email and phone providers may disappear, but your TOTP code is as secure as you&

Go is the successor to C++, maybe Java also. Rust is the successor to C.

> IMO the killer feature of JPEG XL is its ability to losslessly transcode already existing JPEG images. It's a nice transitory feature, but I think improved progressive decoding is even more worthwhile.

Yeah, that. One of the driving points of RHEL (and all the downstreams as a result, like Rocky) is that you get a minimum of 10 years of support for every release.

It appears the project was abandoned (last release in 2006). Sensible enough, I wouldn't expect newer software to exist in a 2006 release. I assume GP knows about Cygwin and elects not to use it.

CentOS 7 qualifies as very old too ;)

What was special about 3.81? Even Debian 9 had Make 4.1. You either have a very old OS or are keeping it around for some reason.

I suggest you reread "Rethinking PID 1": http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html Nobody happens across good design as a side-effect of going fast. It's much the other way around.

It's documentation from the systemd project. I don't think that would qualify it as propaganda, though it does make the HN submitted title misleading.

It's not very green at all. It's known to kill large swaths of the ecosystem. The true green yet unfashionable energy source is nuclear fission.

Not to detract from the point, but if you are using ffmpeg to process raw video files, you can just use the "-ss" parameter on input and "-t" on output to get what you want. It'll seek and avoid unnecessary reads.

Does anyone actually have all those? I certainly don't. I have Signal, Element, Telegram and I even think that's excessive. I can at least manage it, most RL contacts I know would not.

I completely disagree and am disappointed in this decision. One app on my phone to handle all my messages is easier than making a context switch per-contact. I also think it'll hurt the value proposition when getting people to join sig

It also has an "-a" flag that just runs the right compressor based on output file name. "tar -acf archive.tar.gz" and "tar -acf archive.tar.zst" will do the right thing in both cases.
