This is so endearing.

The Ratchet & Clank CPU Limited run has some noticeable FPS dips/loss under NTSYNC that FSYNC doesn't have. It seems like NTSYNC generally trails or ties FSYNC in most other cases. I didn't watch every minute of the footage - just skipped around through some of the CPU-limited sections since I imagine that's the only part that matters. In any case, it seems like there's not much to gain from using NTSYNC yet; maybe improvements will be made to at least tie FSYNC. My rudimentary (possibly incorrect) understanding is that FSYNC is hacky and that NTSYNC is the "correct" way to do it, so if nothing else getting NTSYNC to tie FSYNC means FSYNC can be deprecated at least.

Better yet, why put yourself at the mercy of something that can enshittify in the first place? I've never understood why people get into selfhosting and then go right back to giving power over their network to a 3rd party again.

I feel like it's 50/50 if that means that Bcachefs will be ejected from the kernel or if Linus is going to stop dealing with Kent somehow. I'm just not sure if Linus would leave Bcachefs people stranded on mainline? Hopefully this is for the best in any case; I'm very interested in seeing Bcachefs succeed, but the way Kent interacts with Linus is clearly getting in the way of productivity for everyone. If Bcachefs needs to go against the kernel schedule so often then it's probably not a good fit for mainline. Also, the way Kent continues to refuse humility even after this message really shows that this will never be resolved politely.

I'm used to LanguageTool, and at a glance it seems like Harper covers way fewer rules than LanguageTool does. Not sure if this is actually noticeable in practice, but I run my own LanguageTool server and am not too picky about the performance, so I'm not in a rush to move until someone figures out a good way to compare them. LanguageTool's rules are all open source at least, so it's only a matter of time before Harper gets anything it might be missing.

As a commenter on that post says, this sort of talk is also common in the comments of Phoronix articles. The commenter says they've completely stopped supporting Phoronix since it's clear that Michael enables this behavior by not moderating it (the least he could do is disable commenting; the type of people that are in the Phoronix comments are the absolute worst). It's been festering for a very long time, unfortunately. Click any Phoronix article that's older than a day and check the negativity. Worse, click an article about a controversial topic like X11/Wayland/Systemd/bcachefs/KDE/GNOME/etc. and it's just a shitshow.

I've been seeing it to a lesser degree here as well. I don't know what it is about X11 that really riles up the conspiracy theorists.

This was engaging and very informative for such a small piece of trivia. Will I ever use or remember this knowledge after today? Unlikely. Perfect.

Oh. I'm not sure where to host images then; I know that when lemm.ee closed literally all the images that were posted with lemm.ee vanished. It gives me pause to build up the same thing again.

Edit: I switched it to lemmy.ca as a host. (I'm not sure if PieFed allows uploading images without creating a new post in the same way that Lemmy does.)

I'm a big fan of btop, and probably a big chunk of that is that the default configuration is useful and very easy to understand. I can't be bothered to spend hours configuring a monitoring app and learning obscure keyboard shortcuts to navigate it; if I'm opening a system monitor it's because I want info, not because I want to live in it.

You can still use it as a target for a more sophisticated backup solution though, like borg. Borg handles the versioning, integrity, and encryption, so online backup can just be used as dumb storage location. If the online backup deletes your data or locks you out, just use your other copies to recreate the backup into another dumb online storage. In this way, your online backup target doesn't have to be very reliable, as long as it doesn't fail at the exact same time as your other backups.

Okay, but I did just find this game, and it's a free game that I'm pretty sure already hit mega-popularity back a year ago, so I don't know what advantage astroturfing on the tiny threadiverse would serve. I've just been having fun with it today and wanted to post about it somewhere.

I've been using this a lot lately, and it's been great after a bit of a learning curve. It even incorporates some of the functionality from the addons and userscripts that I needed for YouTube, like getting rid of clickbait titles/thumbnails and blocking specific channels. Since you never really have a tracking profile when using YouTube this way, it's very obvious when YouTube is trying to shoe-horn in political channels and clickbait, and you can just continually keep blocking those channels in the recommended section until you get all of them. I'm still missing a way to boost the volume on certain videos that are too quiet for me, though. I use LibRedirect to auto-open YouTube links in FreeTube. FreeTube has occasionally broken because of YouTube API updates, which requires them to figure out the problem and push a new FreeTube release (which could take a day or more), but other than that I'm fairly happy with it.
