You will always need some sort of oom killer unless you have endless memory (or swap space, which comes with its own problems in the form of grinding your system to an almost halt). Imagine all memory is in use, then some system critical task (or even the kernel itself) needs memory as well. If the kernel can’t kill a less important process to free memory in such a situation you might just crash your system.

and you can afford to lose everything in the case of a power cut

But ext4 is a journaling filesystem, so a power cut shouldn’t harm it.

I have no idea about apple design guidelines and am not a UX designer, but wouldn’t a horizontal seperator look better? In gtk i would add one here, gives some extra space and more visual seperation.

I was the same, but I recently gave zig a try, it’s lovely to write.

Managed to segfault the compiler though, so maybe not quite ready yet.

So I don’t even use systemd myself I run OpenRC. Yet honestly I find the idea quite intriguing, having the service manager (PID 1) invoke the command seems like a cool idea to me.

It’s not really a sudo alternative as much as it is another way of doing something similar.

BMW badge (because BMW drivers seem to have something against blinking)

Alternatively you can launch sudo inside a terminal window. For example with xterm: xterm -e sudo [some command] [some arguments] […] This will pop up a terminal window to type your password in.

Pretty sure almost all terminal emulators have a similar argument.

I doubt my .at domains is going under, and if so I’ll have bigger problems to worry about.

German Umlaute for you to copy paste:

I use a quartz64 from pine. Back when it came out it was beefier than the rpi4. With the 5 that has now changed but it still is a great little machine.

My instance runs on it aswell as my other webservices (A Homepage, cgit instance and a small blog). Handles everything really well with the 8GiB of RAM.

Setup is a bit of a pain, especially because I had the urge to run gentoo on it. Compile times are actually acceptable.

It costs 80 bucks, which is really acceptable.

Edit: Forgot to mention energy efficiancy, ARM is unbeaten by x86 in that department. People on here recommend old PCs a lot, which, depending on your local energy prices could quiet quickly void the savings made by buying it. Also it has a SATA port, which requires some tinkering with the Devicetree to get running but allowed me to use an old 1TB SSD i had in the house.

Also tiktok really only makes sense with a big algorithm knowing what users want to see. Even if you were to follow many people, with the average video being only about 30 seconds long you won’t have much content to enjoy. The whole short form video thing is kinda built on knowing what your user likes and doesn’t. I don’t know how you could design such a platform without some privacy concerns.

IIRC it comes with a firmware called InfiniTime preinstalled. So I guess that one.

Karma inherently breeds monotony and circlejerking. When people “farm” for fake internet pointe by appealing to the oppinions of everyone else it leads to people just expressing one “right” (popular) oppinion.

I think we are fine without a karma system, but if you like it go ahead and use the extension. I’m happy I don’t have to worry about karma, and worst of all, karma minimums on communities here.

It’s perfect for Sheldon Cooper!

Never worked with nim or godot, but it is able to call c routines? So I guess you would be able to call to gdnative?

Likely isn’t gonna be beatifull, but it should work.

Well we’ve had binary packages for ages for big builds like firerox and default is still to use source packages.

Still I’m really excited for this, having the whole, or big parts of the package tree, will speed up initial installations by a lot on weak arm systems for example. Now initial installation can be done quick and later you could still compile stuff yourself for the full gentoo experience.

Here is the source code of the status commans:

And here is the relevant cava config: http://sprunge.us/hiY6EA

Don’t say I didn’t warn ya about quality. Some path are hardcoded in, some are provided with defines. Generally just a big mess.

Comes with the works on my machine, might break yours warranty :D

Well it is pretty much impossible to delete any thing on any federated service. It is technically just not possible without opening a whole other world of problems.

I always like to think of the fediverse in some way like emails. If you send an E-Mail, the moment it leaves your mail providers server it is pretty much impossible to stop.

Basically think before you post. The internet never forgets, the fediverse especially so.

Also a good thing because I know nobody who can leave a “Christkindlmarkt” sober. Those things are basically a huge mulled wine festival and it’s great, but don’t want anyone driving home from these.

Also I find their Zorin OS Pro offer a bit scummy. Now the themes do look nice, but few would spend 50$ for a few themes. So they advertise having 5000$ worth of professional creative alternatives bundled. In screenshots you’ll then see Kdenlive, Blender and Inkscape. I don’t know what to think about the fact they want 50$ for bundling a few themes and free software. If they had just kept the stupid 5000$ part out I would have been fine with it, professional support can be great for people switching over from windows, but this seems a bit scummy to me.
