If you've had good experiences with the nvidia drivers, thats great. My experiences with them have been bad and I will use Nouveau for general desktop environments unless I'm also doing gpgpu.

Nvidia/Nouveau is a good example. I've had a number of laptops with nvidia graphics. For most of that time Nouveau was _more stable_ than the official nvidia drivers. Linux clearly was a second class citizen for nvidia for most of

Cool, thats a different claim than what you said above but at least one I can actually engage with. I've run linux on many Dell and Lenovo systems over the last 25 years. Most of those systems were fully unsupported by the manufactures

Why does Apple need to contribute to this work to make it somehow legitimate or good? I own some nice hardware (an m2-air), I want to run Linux on it. Asahi allows me to do that! Why can we not celebrate that the asahi team is bringing oss

Poke is neat, but its one of those tools with a really steep learning curve and not great documentation. I've played around with it and then given up when seemingly simple things to do are not obvious and grepping the documentation and

I'm a big fan of FTS5 as a cheap/easy way of adding full text search to datasets. Recently I've been storing these datasets in S3 and been querying them directly via a VFS[0]. Its a simple way to have FTS available to lambda

I'm really not asking for that. I'm asking for communication that doesn't feel dismissive.

I'm an Asahi user and I back the project on Patreon. I also use xorg and don't have any plans on switching to Wayland any time soon. My reason is simple, there isn't an equivalent to xmonad on Wayland (nope sway isn't an

This isn't an equivalent comparison between Lambda and App Runner. The lowest memory configurations of lambda don't get a cpu allocation and run a lot slower than lambda functions with more memory. In practice this makes a pretty

Latex is a shibboleth that will get you points in the minds of certain types of engineers looking at your resume. Its a bad signal to evaluate candidates on, but it probably does have some effect. You don't need to use latex to benefit

It looks like there's been some good progress on getting Linux running natively on the Windows Dev Kit 2023 hardware[0]. There was a previous discussion here about this hardware back in 2022-11[1]. [0]: https://github.com&#x

I was expecting this also meant that I could add a FIDO2 resident key as a passkey, but the google UI currently does not allow me to do that. That's fairly disappointing. Its also fairly surprising that desktop UI on linux tells me I c

In practice, no. Key loggers are a minuscule threat to account security compared to weak passwords and password reuse. But lets say you are in fact a user that gets targeted by an adversary capable of deploying a key logger against you. Doe

TOTP seed migrations are a real pain. Its good to see Google offering a solution to that problem. I've moved to using the pass otp extension[0] which gives me secure storage of the totp seeds without being tied to a single device. [0]:

The main point of TOTP is that users passwords are mostly weak and reused across sites. TOTP protects those users from password stuffing and similar attacks. If you are using a strong random password generated from 1PW you've already m

Cross compiling with zig is so easy. For example I use sqlite in Go projects on arm. The incantation is just: export GOARCH=arm64 export CC=zig cc -target aarch64-linux-musl export CXX=zig cc -target aarch64-linux-musl
