If Redis is superior then sticking with Valkey would just be throwing good money after bad. Hopefully those companies are competent enough to understand the concept of sunk costs. Maybe Valkey has served its purpose in pressuring Redis into

C++ is definitely a drawback for a long time. Not because it is 'bloated', but because of how ABI changes were handled. It is all history now. Nowadays the major problem with KDE is that by the time it is stable a new QT major ver

Gnome is a acquired taste, but it is also a lot less work to keep working then KDE or other desktop options. There are a lot of people that bitch about it, but that is only because it is the most popular one and they think that Linux deskto

wow, that is kinda dumb. Governments can and do target GDP with their spending, with predictable results. The classic example is "ghost cities" in China. They have ghost cities nobody lives in, ghost roads nobody drives on, and g

OpenZFS exists and there is a port of it for Mac OS X. The problem is that it is still owned by Oracle. And Solaris ZFS is incompatible with OpenZFS. Not that people really use Solaris anymore. It is really unfortunate. Linux has adopted fi

I use a trackball almost exclusively. I will go back to mice for first person shooters. Mice can move faster and have easier time with pointer accuracy. This is where the sensor on a trackball is very important as it helps a lot with track

It integrates naturally into my desktop environment. I drop a .container file into ~/.config/containers/systemd/ and the rest is taken care of. I use yadm to manage my dot files and that way it ends up on all the systems

It would be nice to have a laptop you can safely use outside somewhere or handle drinks getting spilled on the keyboard. But I guess that would add 10 or 15 more dollars to the manufacturing cost and make it harder to deny warranty claims.
