  • Good to know. I'll have to check if my instance is one of the affected versions and probably also have to bring it up at work.

  • In Debian, if you don't set a root password during the install your first user is added to the sudo group.

    1. Get a hight adjustable desk
    2. Adjust chair until your legs form a 90° angle
    3. Adjust table until arms form 90° angle (sit very close to the table, remove armrests if possible)
    4. Adjust monitor top edge to your eye hight or slightly above (tilt monitors up a bit)
    5. Occasionally stand up
  • Eh, it's mostly everyone agrees but Gnome doesn't

  • To be fair, this is mainly a US issue. VLC (French) has provided h264 encoders and decoders for years.

  • I don't think there's concrete guidance.

    If the original package is dead, you might be able to convince the AUR maintainer to switch to the fork.

    In other cases, maybe a package with

    <main feature>

    added in the name could be created. I'd posit Supersonic as an example, where alternative packages exist just for enabling Wayland. It's still the same upstream, but an additional option in the build is required to enable Wayland.

    Similarly, Emacs offers multiple versions with different build flags, though in this case it is using the same PKGBUILD for all versions.

  • That's a fancy wallpaper

  • If you have your own music collection, I can really recommend normalising everything to a LUFS value of your choosing. (A common value is -14 LUFS for most streaming services Source)

    Note there are two types of normalising, dynamic and linear. Linear is what you want as it'll only move the average loudness to your target, preserving the difference between the quietest and loudest parts. Dynamic normalization squashes the quietest and loudest parts into a narrower range.

  • From my testing of the Wayland backend when it was still hidden behind a registry setting, it's mainly for DPI awareness. For example, I use a 1440p screen with 1.25 scaling. Currently Wine through Xorg therefor sees my desktop as 1152p high. With the Wayland driver it would still correctly identify as using a 1440p screen.

  • Did you set the correct block size for your disk? Especially modern SSDs like to pretend they have 512B sectors for some compatibility reason, while the hardware can only do 4k sectors. Make sure to set ashift=12.

    Proxmox also uses a very small volblocksize by default. This mostly applies to RAIDz, but try using a higher value like 64k. (Default on Proxmox is 8k or 16k on newer versions)

  • It's Konsi day again!

    Btw, you could probably show multiple images by making a text post and using markdown links to the images on your website.

    However, it depends on the client how it displays that.

  • Google controls Chromium same as it controls Android. The product direction and included features are set by the team at Google.

  • Technically accurate

  • What are some key differences?

  • Not quite EU anymore, but maybe they should get Mojeek on board as well.

  • If you're an EU citizen, please take the time to sign this citizen initiative to stop killing games. It could be our best chance of preventing such situations in the future.

  • It's always amusing how you can read Dutch with some difficulty by combining German and English.

  • Your desktop environment should have settings for when to clear the trash. You can also use autotrash to clear it automatically.
