That last comment is insane. They sound like one of those people who believe that video games are a waste of time. Meanwhile they’re probably browsing the Internet all day and slurp up all the propaganda against US enemies they come across.
I always have to lol whenever I see a lib being very serious about some comically overblown made up shit. It’s like a kid trying to tell me they saw a big scary monster in the woods.
There are a couple websites that use it. Others that come to mind are http://leningrad.su/ (no HTTPS) and https://sovnet.su/
I had an abusive parent so I wouldn’t know what to do with children even if I had them. I don’t even know how to interact with other people’s children, so I instinctively avoid them. Also I find a lot of people’s children to be annoying/exhausting. I think seeing parents playing with their kids is nice, but I can’t ever imagine being in such a position myself. All I have right now is myself and I don’t see that changing.
Sent me a message from 2 different accounts. It’s just spam mail.
Many km² of precious wasteland. Those commies don’t hold anything dear.
This reads like it was written by some LLM.
Enable journaling only if needed:
tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/sdX
Don’t ever disable journaling if you value your data.
Disk Scheduler Optimization
Change the I/O scheduler for SSDs:
echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
For HDDs:
echo cfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
Neither of these schedulers exist anymore unless you’re running a really ancient Kernel. The “modern” equivalents are none and bfq. Also this even doesn’t touch on the many tunables that bfq brings.
Also changing them like they suggest isn’t permanent. You’re supposed to set them either via udev rules or some init script.
SSD Optimization
Enable TRIM:
fstrim -v /
Optimize mount settings:
mount -o discard,defaults /dev/sdX /mnt
None of this changes any settings like they imply.
Optimized PostgreSQL shared_buffers and work_mem.
Switched to SSDs, improving query times by 60%.
No shit. Who would’ve thought that throwing more/better hardware at stuff will make things faster.
Actual ICBMs arent as big of a threat
Where is this suddenly coming from? I think this is the second time this month I’ve seen someone arguing that nukes aren’t actually that bad. I thought most people agreed that nuclear weapons are devastating things that should be avoided at all cost. I really hope this is not becoming a common sentiment for some reason.
Firefox isn’t much better in that regard. Bootstrapping alone takes many minutes, which is no surprise since their build system is not only huge but also written in Python of all things. Even if you use gcc instead of clang to compile the corporate spaghetti, the tons of rust in the codebase will make up for all that time gained lol. On my 2014 Xeon workstation where a generic Linux Kernel takes less than an hour, FF takes 6+ hours to build.
I’m aware of FreeTube but unforutnately it’s yet another Electron App, which is just Chromium w/ NodeJS. I host my own personal Invidious instance for YouTube.
The current “web” is utter trash. It’s so complex that compiling any browser that supports at least most web standards from source takes a lot more time and memory than compiling the entire Linux Kernel or even the mesa userspace drivers. The only way to “fix” the web is to throw it in the dumpster and start over. A web browser should only be a document viewer that can load and display interactive documents from a remote location and nothing more.
Web search is shit anyway
Yeah. It’s getting less and less usable even with FOSS frontends. I’m working on my own web search off and on. I’m so sick of wrangling with search engines just to get useful results for my query.
I used to use Waterfox for a while until they got bought by System1 (a yankee-based ad company). Librewolf is probably the best option. GNU Icecat is also pretty good if you’re on Linux.
COW filesystems like BTRFS/ZFS with btrbk/sanoid are great for this. Only the initial copy may take a while, but after that it only takes the delta between the source and the destination to synchronize. On my main Server I have the OS on a single drive with BTRFS and all the actual data lives on a 4 disk zpool in raidz2. I have cron jobs set up to do hourly snapshots on both and I keep about a week worth of history. The BTRFS one gets synced to an external drive every 24 hours, while the zpool gets synced to another external 4 disk zpool on a weekly basis.
Next their VPS expires and the instance disappears completely. (I hope not). Reminder to any sysadmin to do regular off-site backups in case something like that happens.
Anyone who runs their own DNS can just add a record to their config (for example in unbound):
local-data-ptr: "37.187.73.130 hexbear.net"
local-data: "hexbear.net A 37.187.73.130"
RIP. It will be a miracle if they can get that domain back.
Interesting feature, I had no idea. I just verified this with gcc and indeed the return register is always set to 0 before returning unless otherwise specified.
int main(void)
{
int foo = 10;
}
produces:
push %rbp
mov %rsp,%rbp
movl $0xa,-0x4(%rbp) # Move 10 to stack variable
mov $0x0,%eax # Return 0
pop %rbp
ret
int main(void)
{
int foo = 10;
return foo;
}
produces:
push %rbp
mov %rsp,%rbp
movl $0xa,-0x4(%rbp) # Move 10 to stack variable
mov -0x4(%rbp),%eax # Return foo
pop %rbp
ret
Actually it’s ((unsigned long long)-1) total lost troops.
I too enjoy Turbo Overkill a lot but I’m only maybe halfway through. :/ I stopped playing because for some reason I started getting this weird sound bug where all audio cuts out for 5 - 10 seconds and then comes back and is fine for like a minute until it cuts out again. I’ve tried everything. No matter what I do it just keeps happening and it only tends to happen on the Windows version of Unity games in general I’ve noticed. I’ve combed the web for answers but only found a couple people with a similar problem with no answers, or answers that don’t work for me.
If only they released a Linux native version. Linux native Unity games are completely fine.
