At 1080p60, YouTube uses 12Mbps, and 251Kbps Opus or 192Kbps AAC. That's a factor 50 smaller. Insignificant.

The audio data is miniscule compared to the video data, and the size of it is tied to the video quality level. And everything is streamed in chunks. It'd only amount to milliseconds of extra buffering.

Sysvinit was brittle as hell. It was bad at preventing races (hence no parallelization), in part because it couldn't give guarantees on which services had started when, and if they started at all. At this point Systemd its unit files a

by jorvi 2y ago
Well, as far as your first point goes: Systemd has been a suite of tools instead of just an init system for a while now. The Linux kernel is de facto pretty tightly coupled with GNU stuff, but you don't get irate about that, so why doe

NixOS checks/enforces its own reproducibility via systemd in various ways. It seems unlikely to me that replacing something battle-tested with a bunch of self-rolled brittle scripts will make it more reliable.

You shouldn't disable Spectre mitigations, but Retbleed and Downfall (Intel) are much more of a "lab" exploit, and the fall-out for Retbleed is much more severe on cloud boxes than your personal PC. Easy 20-40% performance up

It would have been nice if KDE and Valve could (would?) work together to reimplement KWin's features on top of wlroots. That would have basically made Gnome the sole holdout, and I imagine they'd eventually have switched to the ex

I agree. But the nature of open source means that you can't force someone to work on something, unlike a job. And for whatever reason, open source seems to attract people that would rather be principled and split a project into two bar

Just use NeoStore. Uses F-Droid on the back-end but is somewhat less buggy, has a few more features, and is a lot more modern.

3D-Cache blows Intel out of the water and has absolutely nothing to do with TSMC. Same goes for the clever chiplet design.

Sonos has a loudness toggle! Sadly its much too aggressive and applies even at 50% volume.

I've always found these "perceptual vs absolute" things about human senses very interesting. Hearing has a few quirks too: - When we measure sound pressure, we measure it in log (so, every 3dB is a doubling in sound pressure)

That sounds like a relic left over from a bygone era. Like the digital storage levy we still pay despite music and movie piracy only being rampant from 1990s-2000s :) I love the EU but it certainly has its idiosyncrasies.

If you add pear and spices to vodka, we call it liqueur and not pear-flavored vodka. So no, you are wrong. And the AI is wrong. But that is okay, if you want to enjoy leaning into the hype that's your choice.
