It's clearer to use the original term and meaning: Anno Domini is "in the year of our Lord", and follows the same year numbering system that has been followed by various kings in history (even Japan still does for their Emper

That's more comparable to WSL2 than WSL1. WSL1 is a subsystem on the NT kernel, allowing Linux binaries to run natively on Windows itself (not a virtual machine). It's the spiritual successor to Interix, that showed up in NT 4.0 a

The IEEE 754 standard has been updated several times, often by relaxing previous mandates in order to make various hardware implementations become compliant retroactively (eg, adding Intel's 80-bit floats as a standard floating point s

I can't really speak to what FreeBSD is (or was?) doing special, but even on Linux these days with proper ulimits, fork bombs are pretty far from the disaster they once were.

I'll throw this out there too: UTF-8 isn't necessarily better than UTF-16; they both support the entirety of the Unicode character space. UTF-8 is convenient on Unix systems since it fits into 8-bit character slots that were alrea

Windows would be so much better if it were actually UTF-16. It's worse than that: it's from a world where Unicode thought "16-bits ought to be enough for anybody" and Windows NT baked that assumption deep into the system

GNOME's had a software-controlled brightness that can change automatically based on time of day, for years now.

What does it mean to "eat my tea"? Isn't it normally made as a drink? I suppose you can eat tea leaves, never heard of someone doing so...

There are tons of underdocumented Rust libraries, where I've had to pore over it for very long periods of time because the author probably thought the code would speak for itself and not bother writing any documentation strings on any

Red Hat Enterprise Linux excludes btrfs support in its distribution because Red Hat does not believe btrfs to be stable enough to be worth considering. That decision trickles down to recompilation projects that pretty much amount to "R

btrfs lacking RAID 5/6 is exactly the sort of thing that makes it get written off as a toy. ZFS has had working raidz[12] since 2005, raidz3 since 2007, and draid since 2021. Completely stable and enterprise-ready.

If I was presiding over this case, I'd throw it out. It's never been misleading about what it is: it doesn't save stuff to your hard disk. That says nothing about remote servers.

Thanks, but it wasn't so much asking about storing more than you have at once, but as file systems are used, old unused space might still be occupying space in the Shufflecake scheme. Say you have that 1GB volume with three equally-siz

The website mentions overcommitting volumes being an effective method of creating plausible deniability. How does Shufflecake manage used data in the volumes to make sure they don't clobber each other? Do you depend on TRIM requests co

There's a large segment of Debian Developers that are also the upstream maintainers/owners of various projects. I can't think of any paid examples, but volunteer ones are plentiful. Perhaps the Debian project would force a .N

It sure wouldn't hurt if they hired a Debian Developer to do it right, or maybe work through the process of turning an employee into a Debian Developer.

That's not very comforting for the dozens of times (that I personally experienced) that the developer didn't make sure it was "golden" and instead left a headache on the end user.

I default on ewa_lanczossharp; it does pretty well at upscaling normal SD video to modern resolutions. I also often use oversample, for video game footage and whatnot where I want all the pixels to be not blurry.

Reverse usually works significantly worse, at least with common video codecs that work on key frames and intraframes. Depending on your work flow, codecs that don't operate on keyframes/intraframes will actually provide mpv the ca
