Some Works In Progress You're Looking Forward To?

Jump

  • Yes, lots of storage space with redundancy and the speed advantage of an SSD. If you have enough data where a pair of reasonably priced SSDs is not enough then it is highly advantageous to combine them with (cheaper/bigger) HDDs.

    Personally I would not consider a filesystem without data redundancy for my personal files, and I have enough pictures to fill some hard drives but I don't like waiting for them to load.

  • It has RAID modes and it intelligently rearranges data s.t. commonly used files are stored in a fast drive and fetched from there, whereas BTRFS will write to and read from a "random" drive regardless of its speed.

    The previous solution of using btrfs raid1 + bcache (not the FS) separately was very wasteful because the cache had to store both/all copies of the data since btrfs picks a random drive to read from.

  • All the advantages of btrfs + the ability to combine SSDs and HDDs in a way that maximizes speed and space.

    • Which GPU to choose for Linux gaming?

    Jump

  • I haven't had an issue with gaming on Linux in ages. Since the Steam Deck came out checking the compatibility of a game is an afterthought I do not need to worry about.

  • I use PyTorch daily at work and I'm happy to have gone AMD. Initial support for last gen was lacking but it's there now. It mostly works , the performance is great but it crashes on some unusual tasks.

  • Install the ROCm version of packages and it mostly works (at least on Arch, and I assume Ubuntu since it has official packages from AMD.)

    • Which GPU to choose for Linux gaming?

    Jump

  • PyTorch actually works pretty well on Arch with opencl-amd and opencl-amd-dev (the official packages didn't work for me). I'm extremely happy with my new Radeon.

    • Gaming laptop with good Linux support?

    Jump

  • I am very happy with my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RJ. It's small, powerful, not too expensive, has a recent AMD GPU (RX6800S) / CPU (Ryzen 9 6900), upgradeable RAM, good resolution, and a gorgeous screen (great for photo development too).

    • FOSS keyboard under active development? (Android)

    Jump

  • I was very confused as to why you would need regular updates of, say, a SofleRGB, then I opened your links.

    • Recommendations for a FOSS Cross-Platform Note-Taking Application

    Jump

  • I use Zim, a local wiki which uses text files with a markdown-like syntax, Syncthing to synchronize the notes, and Markor on Android supports this syntax.

    • Have you ever tried an open source dating app?

    Jump

  • I tried that app but it crashes all the time on my phone from the moment it asked me to upload a photo.

    • cherrytree: An open source hierarchical note taking application, featuring rich text and syntax

    Jump

  • How does it compare to Zim?
