That is very big. You would end up getting neck pain as you have to physically move your head to look at extremities of the screen. I use a 32" monitor and I find that I use only the center of the screen. I would downsize if not for ve

I have. Around 20 non-fiction and technical books in about 15 years and I agree with this Joe guy. AI is going to disrupt the whole academia and it is infinitely better than a book or a teacher. The student could move at his/her own pa

As someone who has been using Linux as a daily driver for 25+ years and also used linuxfromscratch.org for building some packages, I would say, don't waste you time building from scratch. There is very little utility unless you are mai

Still 53% of the useful life of a HDD for just scrubbing is excessive. You don't lose tracks in 3 months. If you don't read the tracks for a year and if the HDD is operated in high temperatures, then the controller might struggle

by kanbankaren 9mo ago
Once a month might be too high because HDDs are rated at ~ 180 TB workload/year. Remember, the workload/year limit includes read & writes and doesn't vary much by capacity, so a 10 TB HDD scrubbed monthly consumes 67% of

> With the same antenna size, the path loss is exactly the same. What do you mean? The size of the dipole or monopole antenna is dependent on the wavelength, so obviously the 2.4 GHz is just a few centimeters and not the same size as a V

> Through building materials, foliage etc, but not in free space/line-of-sight. Yeah. Even in free space. For example, attenuation at 1 km for 144 MHz (ham VHF band) is about -76 dB while for 2.4 GHz, it is about -100 dB. That 24 dB

by kanbankaren 9mo ago
It is not as easy as you think. RF attenuation is proportional to frequency and at 2.4 GHz, it is very high. Also, the distance over which one could communicate depends on antenna height, so if both parties are at ground level, it is not fe

yeah. I hate typing `local` for every variable. I would prefer they introduce some syntactic sugar like `let`(to mean local variable) and `const`(to mean local and constant).

4K was never advanced software. Even in the 90s, a typical Enterprise sofware was several 100 KLOC. A decade later, it had grown to a few million LOC while system software are also similar size.

I tried it on KDE Plasma(6.5.3) just now and it resets to 100%.

How did you do it? It doesn't allow any value below 100%?

That is why some of us still need X11 support.

My monitor DPI is 70. 70/96 is 0.73, but there doesn't seem to be a way to set 73%?
56.
by kanbankaren 11mo ago
How did you arrive at 125%? What is the formula? Just eyeballing? I set DPI so that a 15pt font occupies 15pt physical space on screen. Not sure how to set DPI using fractional scaling.

How to do it? I am not talking about fractional scaling.

Wayland has still no way to set DPI of multiple monitors. The fonts look terrible on it. I had to move to KDE Plasma on X11 ever since GNOME started forcing Wayland on us. I guess I have to buy a 4K monitor in future.

The exFAT suggested below is really not resilient enough that I could trust GBs of data on it. Easily gets corrupted. If you don't need to use it on Mac/Windows, use a FS like BTRFS with checksumming feature. Don't use any FS

Not true. I was programming in the 90s when these languages emerged. Developments environments were emacs, vi, Brief, Borland IDE, etc. There were a few other IDEs available, but about $200 per seat. All the scripting languages mentioned di
