Can you talk a bit about the "moving pieces" and/or the process here? Interested in the process of doing this type of migration.

macos already has capabilities for compressing memory used by applications before finally giving up and paging it out. It seems plausible they could extend the code that supports that feature to push memory to external (or allocate it there

What POSIX and the linux kernel calls "capabilities" unfortunately result in quite a bit of confusion, which I believe is the cause of your post. POSIX capabilities bear little resemblance to actual capability based security (wher

That's a HDMI capture device. The one you've linked takes a HDMI signal, compresses it, and provides it over USB2.0. When digitalizing VHS tapes, generally one doesn't have a HDMI signal to use. They either have Composite (ty

Yes, it's clear that using a broken capture device or a system that doesn't properly sync the timestamps between video and audio captures (ie: driver issue) is the core issue. Just choosing a different capture device or finding on

S-Video output on SVHC players is active for both VHS and S-VHS tapes. VHS (normal) signal is not exactly the same as composite, the Y and C signals are encoded differently, meaning there _can_ be a benefit from only decoding VHS and not re

One piece of this is probably that compilers competing to generate the best code have increasingly incorporated understanding of undefined behavior into their optimizers, leading to things that were previously undefined but happened to beha

There are whole repos[1] dedicated to scripts to perform the delicate work of running `btrfs balance` in various ways to ensure space is recovered. openSuse (a distro which notably defaults to btrfs) packages these btrfsmaintenance scripts

My experience with btrfs is from a few years ago, so it's possible they've changed the semantics here since then, but this might be applicable: Btrfs requires a regularly run administrative task via "btrfs balance". Bala
