Hey, it looks nice! But, are you required to be running JACK? I mean, isn't this routing capability part of the PipeWire's core?

I gave JACK a try more than a decade ago, and I remember how cool it was to be able to pipe the audio from one application to the input of another (unrelated) app, possibly adding effects or transformations in between. But JACK never became

No, it doesn't work like that. You pay for something and you complain. Even if you don't. And if the guy doesn't like criticism, he can quit at any time.

Can you please elaborate on this "Wine in reverse" concept?

Yes, but why is it not a problem for X.org? Can't Wayland be made to work using whatever Nvidia is currently providing? I guess I read it is, and even something (KDE maybe?) made it possible to run Wayland under proprietary Nvidia, so

Yes, however when you're running a DBMS in your server, I guess it will be doing fsync() all the time. I wonder, if other filesystems like XFS or ZFS have a different behavior here, how much performance gain for a typical database load

I don't know if I got this correctly: > When we look at the fsync() and fdatasync() man pages, we see that those system calls only guarantee to write data linked to the given file descriptor. With ext4, as a side effect of the files

Reading your comment, it also came to my mind this inter-process communication from KDE called DCOP, which allowed you to call methods from KDE applications supporting DCOP from the command line or shell scripts. For example, the Konqueror

Well, I never pretended to say that Microsoft has just one source of inspiration. But even admitting* that Microsoft got those before, they were not the pioneers either. * I say that because Mac OS classic was not the only operating system

I sometimes flash people on roads where there are no speed traps. This way I achieve two things: defeating the usefulness of flashing people as a warning and also possibly making people drive slower than they would.

I'm not sure the things you find missing are Ubuntu's fault. For example, while it's true that there is no ifconfig by default in Ubuntu (it's provided by a package called net-tools), one can read this: > In 2009, Red
