That is a very useful article, thanks for linking it!

The difference might be HTTP vs HTTPS. On a Pi the extra CPU load to properly encrypt the HTTPS stream is probably significant.

HTML 5 isn’t a programming language! (Yes, I’m a nerd)

This isn’t about replacing javascript, this compiles something that looks a bit like Python to C and then to WASM. Which browsers can run natively these days. But you can do that with any source language if there’s a compiler for it, type safe or not. You can compile Rust to WASM too for example. So nothing’s getting replaced, these are just additional tools for Web developers.

Yes

I have read them. While Vaxry makes his points in typical Vaxry fashion he’s not wrong IMHO.

I think it’s ridiculous and unprecedented to demand that other open source projects adhere to the rules of another project. If more projects would do that then where will it end? The big COC wars where camps of open source projects are split and fractured along opinions of how one should moderate their own communities? This is not the way to work together with others.

The demand was not about Vaxry’s own behaviour outside freedesktop, but about his community. I disagree that behaviour there reflects on freedesktop itself. Hell, I think a lot of people who use Hyprland couldn’t even explain what freedesktop is and does.

So in my opinion Vaxry was right to refuse the demand, and right to publish the email conversation about it. Openness in open source about these sorts of things is important. His hostility in writing about it is something else altogether. Feel free to judge him on that, but it doesn’t retroactively excuse freedesktop’s behaviour.

Last part isn’t true, he was banned for refusing to give his own community a COC that was compatible with the freedesktop one. Which is quite an overreach IMHO.

If this means I can deny WhatsApp access to my regular contacts and still have a decent user experience I’m all for it.

The inherent flaw is Qualcomm actually having to properly support one of their chipsets directly to customers for once, something they’re apparently really bad at. This box has had some pretty bad press already, mostly due to the software being abysmal.

FS 2020 reportedly already used 2 PB of data as it’s base. Good luck downloading that!

It is absolutely fine to mix tabs and spaces in Python, as long as you are consistent about it. It’s not recommended though, as it’s easy to mess up if you’re not paying attention. Most IDE’s will convert tabs to spaces anyway so it’s a bit of a non-issue.

Object storage (the S3 API stuff) is the most logical answer here, it’s much simpler and thus more reliable than solutions like Gluster, and the abstraction actually matches your use case. Otherwise something like an NFS share from a central fileserver works too.

But I agree with the other comment that you’re trying to do kubernetes on hard mode and most likely with a worse result.

Thunder has experimental support, haven’t tried it yet though (says it costs extra battery)

btop has GPU stats in recent versions.

Good on you for getting it fixed. One of the reasons Linux is a great OS in my opinion is that everything is in the file system and not in some arcane hidden thing. So every problem is solvable without a reinstall if you’re motivated enough to figure it out.

Firefox has been able to block all third-party / cross-site cookies for ages. It’s just not the default because it breaks some sites. But dive into the settings and you can easily set it to block all cross-site cookies, or even all cookies if you prefer.

Most of the delays are effectively from pre-ordering. I ordered mine just after last Christmas, got it the first week in January. Would have probably been faster without the holidays. Also, get the AMD model if you can, it’s much better than the Intel offerings.

Oh I agree with your post, but I was responding to Valmond who used different criteria.

You can have all three of those, but you won’t get great performance. The Samsung QVO SATA drives are a great example. I wouldn’t use those for an OS drive but they’re fantastic for NAS or media use.

My i3 has an OBD-II port, and it’s not the only EV that has one. Bimmercode can change A LOT of vehicle settings through the port, and software like ABRP can use it to read out the battery level and route you to the next charger when needed.
