I don’t understand how that hybrid is supposed to work. Monospace is a binary attribute; either all chars have the same width or not. So what is the font now?

Why? What did Zenimax do to you?

Most people in my company use OSX, followed by a few dozen Linux users (various distros; whatever each one prefers), followed by a few Windows users (whyever they want that). So essentially: we can choose what we want to use.

They also fuck over their own OS. I don’t think they deliberately broke dual boot installs, they simply don’t put enough effort in QA. (See their recent problems with BitLocker after an update. Or that one update that fails because some internal partition is too small. And so on.)

Fli4l is still around?! Crazy. I used that back in 2002 or so to turn an old i386 with 3 ISA HP 100Mbit network cards into a router + fileserver combo. Good times.

glibc’s malloc increases the stacksize of threads depending on the number of cpu cores you have. The JVM might spawn a shitload of threads. That can increase the memory usage outside of the JVMs heap considerably. You could try to run the jvm with tcmalloc (which will replace malloc calls for the spawned process). Also different JVMs bundle different memory allocators. I think Zulu could also improve the situation out of the box. tcmalloc might still help additionally.

I ran Arch on a convertible laptop around 2006-2010. Most notes I did using OpenOffice Writer, with hotkeys to quickly add formulas. Drawings were done with the pen. Homework (where speed didn’t matter as much but where I wanted high quality) were done in ConTeXt.

Programming was done in FreePascal using Lazarus IDE or Java using Netbeans IDE, depending on the course and my personal preference.

I think I had no complaints from anyone. Quite the contrary, one professor even gifted me a book as a thanks for the high quality typesetting in my homeworks, since most students didn’t give a shit and had no fucking clue how to really use their beloved MS Word.

Proton-GE is a custom distribution of Proton with its own patches applied.

umu is a script/launcher that makes it easier running Proton without Steam.

So these projects work together, not against each other.

Have you considered publishing that as a book? (/s)

You are insane… in a good way. I love it. Fantastic read and I had to chuckle a few times.

SiYuan is an opensource Notion alternative. (Not a clone.)

It’s just a config. You can adjust that on whatever distro you are.

Nah, explicit sync is the objectively better model if you want high performance. Android went for explicit sync right from the start and from what I gather also Intel and AMD prefer it. The problem is, that the graphics stacks on Linux have been using implicit sync for ages and so far no one dared to change the status quo. Nvidia was “simply” rejecting implementing an inferior mechanism in their driver. While somewhat understandable, it was still a decision on the back of their users.

I am not a big fan of this, because you then rely on the scanner manufacturer to produce good quality results.

I scan everything using VueScan and that has a special mode for text documents. A single page with OCR ends up being about 25kb as PDF. It removes folding edges, sharpens the letters, etc.

If that software gets new features, my scanning experience improves automatically, even though I still use the same scanner for 10 years now.

With relying on the firmware, I would have long ago stopped getting updates and I either was ok with the results or I could throw away the whole device.

Just as people here recomment to separate printing from scanning, I recomment to separate the hardware and software.

I am surprised that no one mentioned snikket yet, which is essentially a distribution of Prosody with sane defaults and a custom client.

I meant DNS within your container network. Exposed stuff should be mapped to host ports.

The bigger issue (IMO) is, that you now have a hard requirement on the startup order of your services. If another one happens to get the IP assigned automatically befor your service starts that requests it explicitly, you now have a conflict that you manually have to resolve.

DNS is the only sane solution here.

Do you think being maintainer makes you some kind of all knowing being? That’s not how that works. You write code and review code of others.

If there are multiple maintainers, you may obviously not even notice what another maintainer is doing; then you wouldn’t need multiple maintainers with write access if you could handle it all by yourself.

But everyone does keep their license. A company can not really take over in the sense that you lose your old code. They can stop developing in public but keep using your code, but so can you keep using the last public version and keep developing it. Or you can take your contribution and apply it elsewhere.

There is actually a mechanism that allows distros to register the system level driver as flatpak extension, so the driver is available in the sandbox. Unfortunately, almost no distro uses that :-/

… in which case you would have seen that they delete a path referenced by an env var being set earlier.

How likely do you think it would have been to notice, that this env var will turn up empty in your specific case?
