I am absolutely in awe of the skill of these people, reverse engineering Apple hardware in their free time.

Absolutely classic music player. The iTunes 1.0 UI pattern, which was pre-enshittification. To my eyes, I still don’t think I’ve ever seen a more overall efficient and descriptive way of browsing a local music library.

I don’t know what the conditions are inside, but I’m assuming that people need light in there to work, and that if it’s designed to be disaster or attack resistant, there would be a need for climate control, ventilation and flooding mitigation. I get that the venue is chosen because it should keep everything frozen and preserved, it just depends how fragile / robust they’ve built it.

But I wondered because I can see light coming from inside and it looks like there’s a fancy light show on it.

I wonder what the power source for that vault is.

I pretty much just want a functioning vanilla Gnome desktop, remap caps lock to control, and I’m happy.

Yes indeed. Well: 0x0007.

I’m on trixie, since recent Mesa has many fixes for very old Radeon GPUs, and it appears to be on by default! At least, I didn’t intentionally turn it on and it’s on.

I think I did go with LZ4 after looking at benchmarks; I figured on a weak CPU speed would be more valuable than another few percent of compression. I’ll have to look into the RAM page read-ahead.

Did you need to compile a kernel to enable it? I’ve just done the project of installing Debian on a 20 year old iMac with 2.5 GB of RAM, and while zram definitely seems to help, I’d love to try this as well.

Probably to run Minecraft, I’m guessing.

I think what he means is that the unique identifier for a database record is a composite of two fields: SSN + birth date. That doesn’t mean that SSN to birth date is a one-to-many relation.

This is making me realize that I don’t fully understand the relationship between “instruction-tuned” and “pre-trained”. I thought instruction tuning was a form of fine-tuning, and that fine-tuning comes after the primary training of the model.

Tux the penguin, the FreeBSD daemon, the OpenBSD pufferfish, MS Clippy, GIMP’s Wilber, the Rust crab, the GNU Gnu, the SuSE chameleon, a Firefox, the Darwin OS duck, and a dude in a red Fedora.

I so badly want a source for this.

Well I was going to try Hyprland this weekend, but I think instead I will very much not do that.

I hope someone forks it from a good commit just before they replaced wlroots. I don’t know the specifics of compositor code at all, but I bet It’s going to cost them quite a bit of velocity to maintain their replacement.

I’m a happy btrfs user, but it’s most definitely a great thing to see what seems like a really clean implementation like this that is able to learn from the many years of collective experience with ZFS and btrfs.

This one is particularly good
