Yeah - I'm backing the patreon and very excited for this work. I don't need it often, but when I do, being able to boot natively into Linux is tremendously useful.

It's no Cyberpunk 2077, but I recently played through Control on medium-ish detail on the AMD GPU on my 4 year old Macbook Pro (in Bootcamp, obviously). It managed around ~50 FPS most of the time, only very occasionally dropping a litt

> ARM Macs are going to just be lost for any kind of gaming Every game I've tried with a Mac port runs great on the M1 under Rosetta. I've sunk many hours into Factorio and Offworld Trading Company on my M1 mini, and if I gave

Untrue, Apple does permit you to replace your kernel on Apple Silicon macs. Hector Martin has a Patreon where you can sponsor and follow his work towards making Linux usable on these systems: https://www.patreon.com/marcan

I have encountered the same problem with the tunnelbana in Stockholm. Normally I use a card, but on a few occasions I have left it at home or forgotten to top it up, and bought a ticket with the app. When it wasn't scanning and I took

As someone not able to see well enough to get a drivers license, I do not. But I take your point.

I totally quit TV long ago and haven't looked back. Didn't do much for my sleep, though.

With sufficient memory barriers, the x86 memory model can be emulated entirely in software without having to sacrifice multithreading. I expect a year from now we will be able to run x86 Windows on our AS Macs at reasonable-ish speeds this

> I suspect that Apple will support x86 longer than it supported PPC. Totally agree - I was surprised how quickly they dropped PPC support. The install base is so much larger now, and hardware refresh cycles so much longer that it'l

Shit like this makes me feel a lot less guilty about my own environmental impact of getting a new phone every 1-2 years and a new laptop every 3.

Aside - calling it now - but the M1's x86 memory model mode is a temporary thing that'll go away in a few years along with Rosetta 2 once Apple is happy with the level of universal binary support.

Thanks - this seems useful, but currently > cloud backends are WIP and I probably don't have good enough rust skills to help out myself practically.

I'm currently writing my own backup tool because of one feature I want that nothing else seems to have. In my opinion, it's not enough to distrust the server where the backups are stored. The client should also not need to keep ar

I've moved all of my side project dev to a M1-based mini with 16GB. It's still lacking docker+virtualisation support, which is a bit of a headache, but I'm confident that'll be resolved soon. Other than that, everything

My take would be that once you need another environment than staging+prod, that's the time to move to at the very least move to containers, and probably think very hard about either a hosted Kubernetes or something like Fargate.

Totally agree with this post. I use WSL1 quite a bit, and it brings many of the things I love about working on the mac to Windows. I do hope MS does continue to support it as promised.

This is cool, I'm definitely going to try this out. I like that they give you a choice of how you want to pay - annual subscription, monthly, or one-time payment. I only have need of something like this occasionally, so I might end up

I'm not sure what your point is. Yes, diet and lifestyle are important for a whole host of health reasons. No-one disagrees with that. And yes, some people said things about ventilators at the start of the pandemic which now appear dum

I'm fortunate in that my condition is not degenerative. So further loss of ability is not a risk, at least not above what generally occurs as a result of ageing. But no diet or exercise is ever going to restore ability that was never t

As someone with an inherited ocular disease, I'd like to know what diet and lifestyle changes you think I could make that could restore my cone function.

Ethernet also has 802.3az, so the link speed can be dropped when the speed isn't needed. I'd wager that most home and SME applications are going to be perfectly happy just being able to burst to 10G for a few minutes at a time, an
