С обновлением интерфейса Youtube на 24" 1080 мониторе я могу видеть на странице только 6 видео или 3 видео и 5 шортсов. Хотя, зачем вообще показывать шортсы в рекомендациях на десктопе?
Вот бы еще в самом гугле на одном экране было видно только первые 2 результата, одним из которых был бы "обзор от ИИ", вот тогда это было бы UI consistency
Of course it is very sad that the 3 million people of Jamaica have to endure the lethal torrential floods, landslides, & ~300km/h winds of Hurricane Melissa. But surely we can all agree that is the necessary sacrifice we all must make to ensure that the murderous thugs running the world’s fossil fuel industries continue to enlarge their absurdly huge incomes they insist are their right and due. #ClimateChange #Hurricane #Mellisa #Catastrophe #FossilFuels
Random tip for comparing the performance of Rust and C programs that use stdout:
Rust stdout is line-buffered, even when redirecting to a file.
Glibc (and most C libraries I know of) are smarter than this, and will switch to a more aggressive buffering scheme if they aren't writing to a terminal.
Running the program _under hyperfine_ is enough to trigger this behavior, because hyperfine takes over the stdout stream. Glibc senses that this is not a terminal and turns on a 4096-byte buffer; Rust continues making one syscall per line.
So if a Rust program that prints stuff seems to lose a performance advantage over a C counterpart when run under hyperfine, it's worth stracing to check.
(There's continuing talk of fixing this default in Rust, but it's not fixed yet.)
Vorige keer "strategisch" op GroenLinks gestemd. Geen slechte partij, een groot en "breed acceptabel in de samenleving" links hebben is goed. Maar als de enige opties links en steeds extremer rechts is blijft "breed acceptabel" verder en verder naar rechts schuiven.
Dit keer zal ik volgens mijn hart stemmen. Om links weer terug naar links te proberen te trekken. Laten we dat allemaal overwegen. Ik wil dat links weer normaal wordt. Dat liefde weer normaal wordt in plaats van deze haat.
Dat is niet te zeggen dat ik niet blij ben met GL stemmers. Het blijft een goede stem en een sterk "breed acceptabel" links blijft goed om te hebben. Maar overweeg in plaats van enkel strategisch ook volgens je hart te stemmen. Want 1 zetel is zo veel meer voor een kleine dan een grote partij.
Mag GL lekker groot blijven, maar klein links ook gewoon eens groeien
Rust's NamedTempFile made me realize that temporary files that delete themselves when the object goes out of scope... are quite nice, actually. You have to structure your code so that they get passed around properly, but that makes the lifetime of the tempfile very clear. It's not garbage to be cleaned up afterwards (if you remember); it's just a temporary resource like any other.

@Jay42 don't think so. they code in Rust and use some GUI framework (I don't know which one, asked in the comments). I guess, the person that would be the most helpful is Matt @matt. But again, splendors and miseries of OpenSource: how can I urge Matt or even ask him to do something free of charge? I mean, who am I to do that? He already does lots and lots of things for the community, and it's up to the Zed team to care about accessibility. But they mildly told me to F off, basically.
@Jay42 The Zed team wrote their own Rust GUI framework, GPUI. So I don't know of anyone else who would have much motivation to make it accessible. And I can't go around implementing accessibility in every GUI toolkit out there, even with AccessKit. Working on AccessKit itself is enough.
So one thing I notice about #blind Internet culture: even back on Twitter, and now here in the #fediverse, blind people tend towards having discussions in giant threads, sometimes with as many as 10-12 people in them, that can often stretch on for days. I rarely (if ever) see sighted culture do this. I wonder why? It's not a criticism, it's just interesting to me. Maybe because Discord and other chat apps were historically less #accessible, so blind culture tends to use the fediverse more as a discussion platform? Or maybe it's something UI related that makes it easier for blind folks to track giant threads of doom? The few times I've been involved in this style of discussion with sighted folks, they've become confused and begged for everyone to move to Discord or Slack or somewhere. On the other hand, I rarely see blind people do a single, lengthy post broken up and threaded the way sighted people do, with (1/N) at the end. We tend to just move to instances with longer character limits, or put our long form thoughts on a webpage or something.
Edit to add: I'm pleased to say that this post has now become a perfect example of the thing I was talking about; my last post in the thread included the phrase "transsexual furry puppygirls". It makes me happy that people unfamiliar with what I'm talking about need do nothing more than look at the thread on this post.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@mcourcel DocuSign on IOS is fine if you're not using the app, and you click the button for screen readers. It's one of the only places on the internet where you should; it's not an overlay, it actually fixes things.
Somehow Talkback on Chrome either works flawlessly, or they manage to break it in ways even Google cannot figure out. I had Google Forms that someone managed to break for use with Talkback.
@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@quanin@mcourcel I think that says more about how fragile and broken TalkBack is. I have an Android phone for work and I had to replace talkback to get anything done. And it's still not as smooth as IOS.
@pixelate@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@quanin@mcourcel The obvious solution is just put every file on the blockchain and then something something cryptography hash mining something something distributed something something free market Yay! Success!
I am trying to figure out why Facebook will not log in on Edge with #NVDA, the information is correct, works on Edge on my phone, even saved it there to have it auto fill, my best guess is uBlock.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@mcourcel And by Linux, I assume you mean LinuxIO, the cloud-based agentic AI solution for autonomous 24/7 web 3.0 devops and rapid LLM deployment?
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@mcourcel Samsung is putting ads on there $3,000 smart fridges. So yes. But sadly, if you want accessibility, you don't really get that choice. Thermostats with just a couple buttons are pretty much gone, for example. It's a touch screen now, and that means an app for us.
Yes, I know. This need to connect everything to the internet is going to kill us before anything else does. I mean, what's next? You can't open your fridge unless you can pass Face ID on your phone? Don't even get me started on why my fridge needs internet access anyway. Every appliance I own is dumb and it'll stay that way where possible.
And you have no idea how much that pisses me off. Same with the people (and yes, I've heard blind people say this) who say "well just connect it to your Alexa and it'll be accessible". No, that's not accessible. That's lazy. And I'm not buying a fucking Alexa.
I have none of those, and absolutely 0 appliances that require them. Yes, I'm aware that won't be a permanent thing and yes it annoys me no end. I mean look. I get the convenience, ish, though I fail to see why I need the ability to adjust the temperature of my house in Ottawa from Toronto. But I just woke up to no internet this morning for about 2 hours. That already delayed me doing a thing that gets me paid. If it also delay me doing a thing that gets me coffee I will slap someone.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@mcourcel I did my lights because it saves me money. As a blindy I keep forgetting to turn them off. So smart switches and home automation ended up being a savings. Similarly, when I'm away, I set the temperature to be different than I'm at home. I couldn't really do that with an inaccessible thermostat, and again, it saves me a few bucks. My smart doorbell lowers my home insurance, so again, savings. The oven and laundry and dishwasher and instantpot being connected didn't save me anything, but they're the only way to get access to the touch screens. So yeah, I live in a smart home these days.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel Yup. I went with switchbot for that exact reason. You don't even replace the key, so you get to use your current housekeys. And they use NFC to unlock, so they're smart devices, but no actual internet connection is required.
I'm the only person in my apartment 90% of the time, so the lights are almost never on. Not that it would save me any money, as I don't pay for heat/electricity here - that's included in the rent. I prefer a lower temperature when I'm home so I can just set my dumb thermostat to where I want it and forget it. It also prevents my pipes from being frozen. I don't own an Instapot because I have no reason to, my intercom calls me, and even if I wanted a doorbell/camera it'd violate my lease so that's out. I dread the day I need to replace my microwave for exactly this reason, because I also dislike being attached to my phone.
I get both sides here. I think once I'll have an actual home/apartment, not just my little room I'll do the Home Assistant aproach. Yes, it's still relying on internet and phone, but I also see the useful sides, even when it might just be lazyness. Say you forgot to turn the light off, you can just do it from away, same for temparature or anything. The advantages have already been named. But I also don't want my stuff to be forced into one eco system/company whatever.
I mean, that's the thing right there. There should always be at least two ways to do a thing. Like, there are reports of smart locks that have failed closed when the power goes out, and people have had to call the manufacturer from outside their homes or they don't get in. Like, did we forget house keys exist?
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@mcourcel Ah, I pay for the utilities here. And frequent zoom meetings mean I need to have the lights on for that. I also record a lot of videos for various purposes, so have special lighting setups for 4k stuff.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel Yup. It's like everything home related: if you don't know what you're buying, you're going to be sold something that sucks. I'm a computer expert, so I buy smart home tech. But I would never purchase, say, my own windows or flooring. I have a trusted guy to buy that stuff for me.
See, those make sense and are something I'd use if I were in a place I could use them. But again, these are things that society wants us to connect to a homepod or an Alexa or something so you can unlock your front door from your bathroom or some shit. Like... why?
My primary workspace gets excellent light for videos during the day if I need that. No one's getting me on Zoom at 4:00 AM so I don't care what the light level is then.
@jonathan859@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@quanin@mcourcel Yup! It doesn't change anything about the outside of your lock. In the case of switchbot, there's a keypad that goes on the outside of the door, but you can screw it in where ever you want, it connects via bluetooth. And it has a sensor so it stops working if it gets removed from the door. And even if the keypad gets unscrewed and taken off, you still can't get in that way.
I'm a computer expert as well, and I won't touch most of this stuff because it's a fucking privacy nightmare waiting to happen. I mean at least Apple is somewhat better about it than most, but less bad is not the same as good.
@jonathan859@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@quanin@mcourcel Unless you own it, you need permission from your landlord to modify the lock in any way. At least in Canada. The place I live is mine, so it doesn't matter; I can do whatever I want without permission.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel Right, but it can still hear everything you're saying when you're in the room. And it still knows everywhere you go, because you take it with you. Once you have a powered on phone in the room with you, at this point you just have to assume that the manufacturer of the phone is listening or looking. It doesn't even need to be your phone.
I explicitly do not. My phone sits on a desk most of the time unless I need it for something or, you know, I'm going out. Or some platform I need to log in forces me to use it for 2FA.
here is the thing. yes, we have smart things here, however, when we buy smart things, we get ones thatyou can still use if the internet shits the bed. smile. our thurmostat for example looks just like a normal one. it even has all the buttons too, so if the app has issues for what ever reason, I can still walk to the device on the wall and adjust it the old fation way. The smart microwave we have, I guess we aren't as smart as as we can't even get it connected to alexa. we even had two or three different sighted people here looking at the manual, and not even they could get it connected, but that is ok. we put dots on the 2, 5, 8, 0, start/30 seconds, and stop/clear. from those few things marked, we can use it just fine. If I can't use it without the internet, I don't want it. sure the smart thing makes things easier, but you never know when something is going to go tits up on you.
Yes, this. Before actual accessible microwaves were a thing, marking the buttons like you're talking about was exactly a thing I've done. And I mean, I'm perfectly fine with even doing that. It's the devices where even doing that isn't helpful that I'm more talking about.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel Whereas I have an autofocusing camera with automatic tracking. But I do hear when it's recording, because the motor makes a sound as it moves on the gimble. And I could unplug the USBC port. I don't actually own a desktop. Just laptops and a server that lives in the furnace room.
Eh. I just assume everything's tracking me, even if I forget my phone at home. But that doesn't mean I'm going to make it easier for them. I explicitly disable the webcam on my desktop for that reason. I mean, physically disable.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel I'm also not exactly sure what it gets you, unless you have your laptop in your bedroom. If someone wants to watch me typing all day, sure! What I say is where all the private info is. And you can't disable the microphone the same way.
Yeah well, I don't have a webcam on my phone. But yeah. I do that at my work place too, but just because there was a little clip thing provided in the cams box. Would probably not tape anything over cam or mics or something like that.
Tape on the camera is exactly what a lot of people do. And because of that, cameras are now coming with more of those privacy lenses now. I still prefer to just unplug mine.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel Wow, you have a monitor? That's actually on a desk, where you could see it if you were sighted? Sorry! Your blind person card has been revoked! My laptop lids stay closed and I have no monitor. Even though that meant getting a tripod with an arm to mount the camera. ROFL
Yup, unplugging the USBC port is all I do. My camera's not quite as involved as yours - it sits on top of my monitor and AI handles the autofocus, but yeah... when I'm not using it, it's a paperweight.
@JamminJerry@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@quanin@jonathan859@mcourcel The issue hear is that sometimes I leave a window open in the spring or fall. I know that burglars in these parts will try yelling "Alexa! Siri! Unlock the door!" in any open windows. Sadly, that's been known to work. I use my locks via homekit and my phone, but I disable voice commands.
I will give you a perfect example. this is one I just thought of, not that it is happened, but hear me out. your room mate works, you usually let them in when they get home, oh sure you could make them dig out there keys, and just do it themself, but you feel like being nice. well ah shit! you are stuck on the shitter when they get home. if you could tell alexa, or google to unlock the door for them, that would be a perfectly good example. also what if they forgot there keys? yet again, another good example. so I can see things where it can come in handy, but unlike a lot of people I do my best not to rely on it, meaning if it goes down, don't have a melt down, just do it the old fation way. smile. you can have those things, and they are nice to have, but just know how to do things, and don't panic when things shit the bed.
@jonathan859@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@JamminJerry@pixelate@quanin@mcourcel When I'm away, I give the catsitter an NFC card that will unlock the door. Then I can revoke it when I get back. Doesn't matter if they copied the NFC card, or forgot to give it back to me or whatever. That code doesn't work anymore. Whereas getting a locksmith to duplicate a key is easy and cheap.
Simple solution, I don't feel like I' m nice. jk, but seriously though, I don't need Alexa or similar for that. They can just wait, if they've forgot their keys. Or rather, they must. Yeah it would be useful to let someone in while you're away in person, though then I'd want a doorbell to check wether the person in front of my door is actually the one I want in my house.
@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@quanin@jonathan859@mcourcel Now you've made me wonder if my instance is blocked by WebSense, the old content firewall my high school used. Running an http proxy for everyone at...research.dns2go.com/get/paper.php?url was I believe the address I used, so everyone could get past the firewall and look at whatever they wanted while eating up all of my home internet bandwidth. Good times!
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel Also, children and tweens have more time. As a parent, you have to set up the web filter and go to work and get the groceries and clean the house and so on. Your tween can spend all day other than homework and school bypassing the web filter you set up.
I've decided that in many cases, children are not in fact smarter than their parents. What happens is by the time the children are old enough to start being a problem, the parents have forgotten that hey, guy? This used to be you.
@pixelate@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@quanin@mcourcel {shocked, awkward face} Oh! I'm sorry! Uh, well, photosynthesis...is that offensive? Because you're blind? I guess that's offensive! You can't even see photos! Sorry, sorry! I said "see". I meant hear! You can't hear the photos! I will now spend the next five minutes awkwardly apologizing while I do absolutely nothing else to make anything easier or more accessible for you.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel Look at this guy, assuming it's a "he" just because it's good at computers. Burn him at the stake! LOL. Anyway, this has been more than enough silliness from me. I have an actual job to accomplish.
It's my daughter, the code to exit changes each, time, and we know she can get out of it, but the store remains disabled, so the best guess is Kids Space itself is able to install things, or the Lenovo software that you can opt to to get suggested apps is running and we cannot locate it. We just block them when she does it as Family Link still informs us she did it.
Nope, also blocked, when we set it up we blocked almost everything besides the kids space, YouTube kids, and stuff like clock, calculator, etc, play store she was originally accessing via a banner ad on an app that should not have had them, and disabling it stopped that. I mean she's also learned how to cast to our TV, send things to the printer, and is playing around with Scratch so…
PDF's aren't bad if you have a truly accessible way to read them, and Paperback does that for me anyway! I've only hit it with a few PDF's so far but it presented the information just fine when Chrome couldn't even open them. Granted, I don't know if any of them contained images and how it handles those cases, but I bet somebody in this thread does!
The write-up of my new graph layout algorithm for SpiderMonkey is finally live.
We built a custom layout algorithm for JS and WASM that follows the structure of the source code. No more spaghetti nightmares from Graphviz, and thousands of times faster.
gore, death, and a little bit of infodump about h&s, and "fancy" gases used for industrial purposes.
Sensitive content
Me, occasionally being in the factory area of the company: this is for the light incidents. The heavy ones are: run for your life, and if you see a body bleeding from all cavities, do not stop to help, or you will be next. A team in proper hazmat suits arrive soon to provide help.
And speaking of fancy gases. I've heard a story about people constructing some apparatus for physical measurement. And for that they needed to have a gas with a very specific refractive index. It is possible to mix some gases with different indexes to reach the result, but I've heard it is a tedious process. Apparently those people wanted to avoid that. So, they have found in the catalogue the gas which was perfect for their needs, considering the refractive index, and they have placed an order for the purchase in the internal system. And because this particular gas has not been ordered previously, the order went through local health and safety department for vetting. Few days later the engineers were complaining about those "assholes from h&s department, rejecting the purchase".
Apparently, those assholes from h&s had checked also other properties of the gas. And I wish to be a fly on the wall in the room they did that. The gas was a neurotoxin. Of a very fancy kind. It is almost asymptomatic. The first observable symptom was a merriness. But if you observe it, and start investigating, it's already too late. At least you will die happy. I do not remember well, but I have impression, that this gas was also explosive. The point if this story is: please give some respect to those assholes from h&s. They can save your life 😅
Also, please do not look into the laser beam with your remaining eye.
TIL that the president of Signal believes that people who run Mastodon and/or Matrix servers do so "in most cases" on hyperscaler* infrastructure.
This is my Mastodon server. And its UPS. And its networked KVM for when things get really hairy.
It's also my Matrix server. And Nextcloud. And Git. And Home-Assistant. And Jellyfin. And SearXNG. And Peertube.
When people objected to her claims, she doubled down and proclaimed condescendingly that we "don't have a clear understanding of this space".
TIL that I don't feel confident in recommending people to use Signal. Something's very off here.
*) "hyperscaler" basically means the big cloud infra providers with provisioning APIs that allow you to scale your resources up/down automatically with usage
Signal's president claimed it takes billions to replicate the availability and reliability of "hyperscalers" (AWS/Google/Microsoft/Cloudfare) that Signal uses.
@tomli what does IP address hiding have to do with the topic of the post? :) Anyway, Cloudfare probably sees all signal group members by the access pattern to in-chat media, including their IP address. Each #chatmail relay only sees IP addresses of its users but not of users of other relays.
@tomli now that's a stupid claim, only telegram is susceptible to network analysis due to plaintext message headers. cloudflare couldn't possibly figure out who you are sending Signal messages to
@morganist @tomli is Cloudfare not used for hosting encrypted attachments anymore? if you put a picture into a signal group, is it not accessed by the members of that group? Are the IP addresses not seen by Cloudfare ops?
@tomli Depends in your MTA. Chatmail does, most MTAs do. The ludacris X-Originating-IP is mostly a ghost of the past. And unless you are acting as an MTA you are likely safe.
@h3artbl33d I'm asking this because,when I go to the settings/password and account, there's already an existing email address and password,so I can change both?? Is proton mail okay or allies?? And by the way thanks for adding calls 🔥👍
@tomli @h3artbl33d right now you can't change the address. The 2) point in the post will take a release or two to arrive and then you can meaningfully change/add addresses. Stay tuned.
(Non gender specific) Dude! I had to fight to get people to use Element/Matrix and when the jank got too much I had to fight to move them to Signal. I'm tired and done with all that shit.
But you're saying all the right things so I'm looking at my soapbox and megaphone and thinking I may have to drag them out again... 🙂
@Mer__edith is a liar to the teeth, you want a proof ?
use tor on your device and call a friend. the only issue will be the time to connect after it will be flawless, so her "we need them" is a corporate lie.
dumb bait post, if you've figured out a way to cheaply (for open source projects) provide high quality group video calls internationally (the specific scenario Signal was talking about) without hyperscalers and also , please let us know, otherwise don't strawman them
@jackie i dont get why to promote your service you need to bad mouth other alternatives? Isn’t your service better, without the need to denigrate Signal?
@jaystephens @jackie thanks for correcting and the precision -- we didn't quite follow the evolution of signal's call support. The point stands that video calls were not moxie's original key reason to go for hyperscalers and centralization (see signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-… )
At Open Whisper Systems, we’ve been developing open source “consumer-facing” software for the past four years. We want to share some of the things we’ve learned while doing it. As a software developer, I envy writers, musicians, and filmmakers.
I don’t think that spreading poorly substantiated accusations of technical infidelity against signal helps your mission, or anyone else.
I think it’s cool that you’re writing your own messenger software, but please spread the word about it by advertising how it is good, not by trying to push others down who fight for the same causes as you.
@jaseg what exactly is "poorly substantiated accusations" in our post? We have often applauded signal for their cryptography achievements but their infrastructure choices are a different thing. Infrastructure matters. And we were laying out what we are doing in the same post.
they’re poorly substantiated in that they boil down to “large cloud provider bad” without considering why signal chose a large cloud provider, and what they have done to mitigate the centralization. The latter is the interesting bit, since they structured their protocol considering the cloud provider untrusted. This means the provider learns very little about their users, and their main role is providing uptime.
By over-reducing your point to “cloud provider bad” you’re circumnavigating a whole informed discussion and effectively spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt to people who don’t understand how signal works at a technical level.
@jaseg well, even signal's president started off by viewing hyperscalers as problematic. We then layed out how we want to address the reliability and uptime challenges (through using cheap relays redundantly). It's tough technical challenges to realize the plans. But discussing infrastructure and different ways than giving 20+ millions to hyperscalers yearly is not FUD.
I'm not saying you don't have a point. I'm not a fan of these providers either, and I think @Mer__edith is uniquely qualified to understand the risks and benefits they have. My issue is with the reductionist view you were broadcasting in the first toot in this series, which didn't go into any of that nuance and read like FUD to me.
@blazr with 2.22.0 you can try out calling, look for "Debug Calls" in the experimental settings :)
Instead of big email providers, we actually recommend self-hosting chatmail.at/relays, or using one of the existing public ones. This is basically how we aim to do scaling, horizontal instead of centralized.
Chatmail provides FOSS infrastructure for interoperable, secure, speedy and reliable end-to-end encrypted messaging. Check out clients as Arcane Chat, Bots or Delta Chat today!
I really hope you can pull this off. However, having worked with distributed, decentralized systems, I think the difference between a centralized system and yours will always be a limitation to adoption.
But I hope you'll write lots of blog posts for others to build upon :)
Google is going to make HTTPS required by default in Chrome in a year.
In the post there is quite a bit of talk about the problem of obtaining a cert for local network names. Hopefully their push to make everything-HTTPS will include local network addresses too. We really badly need it.
They kind of seem to say they will, but it's all talk until shown otherwise: "In the future, we hope to work to further reduce barriers to adoption of HTTPS, especially for local network sites."
An anonymous reader shares a report: After last week's major AWS outage took Signal along with it, Elon Musk was quick to criticize the encrypted messaging app's reliance on big tech.
GNOME 49 (which was shipped in freshly released Fedora 43 and Ubuntu 25.10 and also in rolling distros like openSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch) has a bug with some apps in XWayland, where they'll freeze if you have more than 1 screen.
The only workaround is to turn off all monitors except one. Or, if your app supports it, run with native Wayland instead of XWayland. Or wait for a minor release of Mutter before upgrading to GNOME 49.

@hub I've found that darktable now works better in native Wayland than XWayland, except for the submenu issue (where it closes the menu when it tries to show a submenu, as it attempts to draw it off screen and hits a bug).

Fedora Linux 43 is here! What do you get with this update?
* New Anaconda WebUI installer on all desktop editions and spins * @gnome 49 and being Wayland only * Fedora CoreOS now based on bootc instead of rpm-ostree * Under the hood changes like RPM 6.0 * All your favorite versions of Fedora getting up to date!
* New Anaconda WebUI installer * Automatic updates for Kinoite (which is based on Fedora KDE) * Latest updates from @kde Plasma 6.4.5 with improvements in tiling, color management, accessibility, and more!
Fedora has released Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Edition 43 to the public. The Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Edition is well suited for many needs. It combines the reliable and trusted Fedora Linux base with the KDE Plasma Desktop environment.
Any #ZFS folks want to offer me an opinion on the following? I have 2 ZFS pool of raidz2 with 7 2TB SAS drives each (about 11.5T). I want to add a LOG drive. I have a single SAS SSD that's 300G. When I suggested using a 1TB LOG drive earlier, someone said that was way too much. (which is why I picked up a used 300G SSD)
My question is whether it makes sense (is possible) to partition that drive into 2 partitions and have one pool use 1 partition as a log drive (e.g., 150G) and the other pool use the other partition as a log drive on the same physical device.
Is this going to be worse because it's just too much IO on one device? Is it reasonable? Any other ideas?
oh gosh, unless you know you are doing a lot of synchronous writes (almost never; databases and NFS mostly... maybe VMs???) you do not need a LOG at all.
If you do add a LOG, it just needs to be large enough to buffer the writes until they're flushed to the other vdevs. You honestly could get away with something as small as like 8GB for a low IO / homelab type environment. But you won't find a modern drive that small, so if you're going to do this just make it as small as possible. Pick quality over quantity here. SLC drives (do they even exist anymore?) are of course ideal.
Splitting the LOG device between multiple zpools isn't crazy. I have a tiny partition I use for LOG and then use the rest for L2 ARC which is another option to maximize the usage of your fast storage.
This is the most Sirius Cybernetics thing I’ve seen IRL. This was a floor mopping robot at the local QT. It had cute animated eyes and said “I’m cleaning the floor! Thank you for shopping at QT!” as it wandered around randomly, almost bumping into several people. It has a voice like a 12 year old girl.
