I have 64GB RAM and my 64GB swap still gets filled to 60% over time.

It just happens so that apps end up touching some memory once that they never then use again. Better use some SSD for that instead of RAM.

I suppose it explains why people have a bad attitude about Wayland when tools providing useful functionality are described as trojans.

X11 can (..mostly..) have great security by just providing a suitable X Security module to it. It just seems it wasn't considered that big of an issue that anyone bothered. Nokia Maemo/Meego used to rock such a module.

It's two commands to grow the / fs on the fly:

        lvextend -L+10G /dev/mycomputer-vg/root
    resize2fs /dev/mycomputer-vg/root


  

So don't worry about it. LVM is great :).

I suppose they could implement smooth panning in high fps even if actual updates would be slower.. though it might look funky.

It doesn't actually detect moved code, though, like git diff can? I gave it a shot and also there's a couple issues open about it, e.g. https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/issues/520 .

Other than that, difftastic is quite nice.

Welcome video game streaming?

I use etckeeper to autocommit changes in /etc as git just has better and faster tools to look at the changes of a fle, compared to backup tools.

It's just so easy to do that there hardly is any point in not doing it.

I suppose it's the easiest way to try it out.

I wouldn't use it long-term, because you don't want Godot to update without you knowing, if there's something that needs to be changed due to an update. I bet a few people noticed the update from 3.x to 4.x..

I've read it also doesn't come with the C# support, so that's one reason not to use Steam for it if you're interested in testing that side.

If you can do that, you already had enough space for reflinking not to matter in the first place, right? Or you can carefully do defragmenting in parts, running dupremove incrementally? seems like a lot of wasted time :).

Here's one sharp edge: defrag will unshare file contents so sometimes it's not just feasible to do it.

I was under the impression cross-site cookies are a standard feature per the RFC, though? Or is Patreon using some kind of non-standard extension?

Speed records aren't usually representative of regular use top speeds, are they?

And how about the actual speeds they are used with? Another poster suggested the maintenance costs of traditional speeds skyrocket as speed increases, while maglev doesn't really have a lot of stuff that wears down in the first place.

I rather enjoy Tilix. It can tile a single tab without tmux and it can also give special handling to links matched from regexps. I use it to go from Python stacktraces to correct line in Emacs with just a click. It can also do Quake-like terminal, which I use alot.

The project is looking for maintainers, though, so it's possible at some point I need to start looking for alternatives..

Try od (or hd) to compare short files precisely visually.

It still loses to HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+6 with Tc = 133–138 K at normal air pressure, though. (I assume it's normal air presure as the article doesn't say the pressure for it, while it refers to some others as high-pressure ones.)

Maybe LK-99 still has other benefits, such as not using mercury.

For reference https://vaclavsmil.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/January2019.pdf says

Jet airliners are surprisingly efficient, commonly requiring around 2 MJ/pkm (=3.22 MJ/pmile). With full flights and the latest airplane designs, they can do it at less than 1.5 MJ/pkm (=2.41 MJ/pmile)

So 6x is still a big difference. Not sure what I expected, but maybe this is smaller.

Trains don't leave exhaust in the upper parts of the atmosphere, though, and depending on how the electricity was created, it could be neither did its energy source—though I suppose there's no avoiding that manufacturing any kind of plant and the train itself did cause emissions.

Admins can and do use email server block lists, though, so maybe that's a great example.

I suppose you're right--for now. But at some point Lemmy etc will grow large enough to make manual blocking infeasible. Just how much effort does it take to start a new instance even today?

Mietin tuosta täppäristä kuullessani että lääppäin olisi tarkempi.

Ei kyllä sekään ole levinnyt ☹️
