When will plasma be livable in general? I used KDE from 2001 through KDE4, and tried to use KDE Plasma5 for a few years before throwing in the towel and moving to LDXE. The Plasma versions seemed to embody change-for-change's sake, and

Not that I'm aware of. The sendfile path is our hottest path, and that's already improved immensely by async sendfile.

question: How hard is it to get jellyfin to just present me a random video from my library that it cannot scrape metadata for? This has always been the sticking point to me for software like this that tries to make things "easy"

The outside shots were always very jarring for me. I grew up in upstate NY (not that far from Scranton), and have lived in CA. It was always just so obvious that the outside scenes were filmed in CA that it disrupted the experience for m

kqueue is most comparable to epoll. In a way, async sendfile is like iouring in that a web / file server does not have to supply a blocking thread context to wait for io -- once data arrives from the storage driver, its pushed through

I was too.. I then disabled DNS over https (which was pointing at nextdns) and it started working. Not sure if that was coincidence or an actual fix

Yes, I think a lot of it also depends on how much you interact with the code of the open source project vs just consume the finished product. If you're just a consumer, then it makes a lot of sense to consume the LTS branch. Whenever

In the specific example I give, no I cannot change the background color of the UEFI shell as far as I know. That's why the dark-blue on black color chosen by the UEFI shell people is so horrible.

I hate colorized output with a passion and disable it in my personal shell. You never know what the background color of a terminal might be, and there is a good chance at least one color will disappear entirely into the terminal background

We run bleeding edge FreeBSD at Netflix and are never more than a few weeks behind the FreeBSD main branch. This has worked out quite well for us. We used to run -stable, and update every few years, like from FreeBSD 9.x to FreeBSD 10.x.

I can't be certain, but it appears that the plugs are embedded in the curb stone and face directly upwards. What prevents water from collecting in them and causing a short?

As an EV owner with home charging, fast charging cost pretty much doesn't matter. The only time I ever use a supercharger is when I'm on a road trip, which happens just a few times a year. The rest of the time, I schedule chargi

My understanding is that this kills 32-bit OS support. Eg, you can't run a 32-bit Linux / Windows / BSD distro on it. However, you can still run legacy 32-bit applications in your 64-bit OS.

+1 for airport codes. I was surprised to learn about this convention which seems to be used by many CDNs when I first started working for Netflix, but it makes a huge amount of sense. Now if I just had a dollar for each time I've fat-

How about getting estimated wait times for pickup for riders even remotely correct? That helps drivers too: Recently I had a severely delayed flight that didn't land until after 1am, and was by far the last flight into my podunk air

The downside of Richmond is that you get to add an extra ~2 hours to most trips to the west coast. Either by the need to change planes in ATL/CLT/ORD/etc, or by having to drive to DCA/IAD to take a direct flight.

I'm curious if there is a similar bacteria that triggers Crohn's disease and/or Ulcerative Colitis. I'm wondering this because there is a large crossover in the biologic "TNF Blocker" drugs that treat RA, Crohn

I stand corrected. I erroneously picked up 2034 from the timeline. But the point still stands; 8 years is a depressingly long time. If we base missions on the discoveries of previous missions, there is an 8-year minimum gap between mis

Wow, 11 years to Jupiter. I wish we had better propulsion systems. EDIT: This wasn't meant to disrespect the ESA mission. I'm just sad that the outer planets are years away, rather than the hours, days, weeks or months of scien
