How does the Palm-Detection work? To test this, you can do the following: Place your palm where the X-es are, then try to scroll with two fingers or move your mouse. I don't like that the mouse does not react anymore if the palm is pla

I did a lot of research regarding the trackpad situation on modern Linux and there are several reasons the macOS experience feels better for most people. The most important one is indeed SOFTWARE/DRIVER implementation. Using a hackinto

Oh, thank you. I recently considered moving from posteo.de to mailbox.org, but I think I won't anymore regarding such an issue took so long to even be considered as a problem and as I understand is still not solved.

For LLMs, VRAM is the requirement number one. Since MacBooks have unified RAM you can use up to 75% for the LLM, so a higher RAM model would open more possibilies, but these are much more expensive (of course). As an alternative you might c

AFAIK the interesting thing about these Illumos Forks is ZFS support together with a kernel based SMB server ability using it as file server. After enabling a share, connect as root and set NTFS alike ACL via Windows. The SMB server is usin

Interesting article and great results. PSUs are probably the only piece of Hardware, i DO NOT fiddle around with, not even for saving lots of money or time. PSU Capacitors are no joke, especially in (older) TVs. However, I expected more lik

My goto practise is to automate the shipping first and then do small increments. In the past i used a simple 'build-release.sh' whereas lately i tend to use Github actions or other CI/CD workflows. Another habit is to focus o

Cool. While I think this is indeed impressive and has a specific use case (e.g. in the embedded sector), I'm not totally convinced that the quality is good enough to replace bigger models. With fish-speech[1] and f5-tts[2] there are at

Yeah, I agree. That's an advantage of pipes - although much harder to read and write than chained methods in my opinion. The use-case in the article could still be solved easier with extension methods in my opinion :-)

Well, while traits might be a workaround for certain use cases, simple arrays with scalar data types could not be extended via traits. While I know that there are Collection classes in Symfony, Laravel, etc., I'm not a huge fan of wrap

by sandreas 1y ago
Exactly... similar in Symfony. While converting arrays to collection-object is a suitable option that does work, it would feel much more "native", if there were extension methods for Iterable / Traversable.

While I appreciate the effort and like the approach in general, in this use case I really would prefer extensions / extension functions (like in Kotlin[1]) or an IEnumerable / iterator approach (like in C#). $arr = [ new W

Haha ymmd ;) Yeah, I thought it might either have been a misclick OR wrong information on my side (IF there is something wrong with it, I'd still like to know what...)

I personally like the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 (Strix Halo), where you get non-upgradable, but unified RAM. This means that up to 96GB of 128GB can be used as VRAM, which is great for AI workloads and are the only machines similar to Apples ap

Nice writeup... Although I'm missing a few points... In my opinion a good backup (system) is only good, if it has been tested to be restorable as fast as possible and the procedure is clear (like in documented). How often have I heard

I use syncthing... it's great for that purpose, Android is not officially supported but there is a fork, that works fine. Maybe you want to combine it with either ente.io or immich (also available for self-hosted) for photo backup. I w

You are right, but to be max cost effective you could have gone 2 * 4tb or 2 * 6tb for 18 months and then sell the drives still in warranty to upgrade to more storage... Estimating storage growth is hard but when you monitor it regularly, i

While I did that and lost near to nothing, I still think that this should not be the default approach of developing a filesystem... it should be ready to restore as much as possible in case of hardware failure or data corruption.

No. Encrypted drives should be recoverable as long as you have the valid decryption values. I think it had nothing to do with the encryption layer... the FS layer was the problem.
