I'd settle for something to just hand me required wrenches/bits/heads/etc while I'm under the car. This actually shouldn't require much.

Just got a loaf out of the oven. The smell, the crust, the whole feel of something very much tangible and enjoyable . I'm very much considering opening a small bakery.

Because Starlink was so cheap and easy (and stable for the last 4 years of the war), a lot of people in Russia stopped using any other form of internet access.

What are you smoking ..err.. any source to your claim ? (Which is between bizarre and just plain wrong).

This line shows either he does not get how wrong he is, or I do not understand the deepness of his enlightenment. "A simple Makefile covers 100% of my needs for 99% of my use cases". We've come a long way to replace simple Makefile with autotools (incredible monstrocity), cmake, ninja etc. I hope he does not propose to ditch *libc.

Reading this while doing emerge @world on my personal workstation, and preparing a fresh annual portage cut for our IT infrastructure (some 600+ VMs, 400+ bare metal servers), running Gentoo.

Tell that to my gardener I'm communicating with over WhatsApp regarding lawn. Or to general contractors ; we're discussing some remodeling there too. Or to a hair stylist, doing her business (managing appointments, collecting feedback etc) over the same WhatsApp for the last three years. Sometimes I wonder if privacy crowd is living in some kind of an impenetrable bubble, separating them from the real life and real people. Sometimes I'm very much convinced they are .

Yes , please, yes ! Having the world on your fingertips under the dial knob (ok, I'll settle for synthesized frequency receiver) is a feeling of discovering something not polluted by a countless hordes of opinionated ..persons of no interest. Many teenage nights spent catching voices from the other side of the planet.

They are doing that by polling private servers, which is sometimes less efficient power-wise, and sometimes notifications are being delivered slower than in case of using Google-provided mechanism (FCM). We've been using ntfy for alerting, using our private server and running ntfy client in polling mode, and I do not see significantly increased battery usage by the ntfy client; Android 15.

Biggest advancements ? Give me a break. Voyagers, Hubble, ISS, James Webb, upcoming Europa mission - SpaceX has nothing on that level of sophistication and cooperation between dozens of countries. I'm very much fond of SpaceX, but giving Elon too much credit does not feel right .

Just wait until Lennart pushes his idea of doing linking entirely via dlopen() in systemd (see the story from a few days ago). Last bits of sane and efficient means to track dependencies will be gone forever after that. Good luck creating any lean Docker/k8s images without pulling in systemd-based stack after that.

Bunch of bu... rather unsubstantial claims. Just installed fresh KDE 5 + Plasma , running Wayland session, with two displays having different DPIs (96 and 185), and Plasma menus on HiDPI display are blurry until I'm moving a mouse over them, then they magically are getting refreshed with proper resolution. Tell me about how Wayland is great and works out of the box, sure

the future of human-machine interface

No. I could go deep into "rare language, weird slang, local dialect" hole, but simple "No" would be enough. Their website is exceedingly non user-friendly, too

Xft.dpi and its global, not per monitor.

It's per screen, though ; you can have different Xresources on different screens bound to different monitors, I'm running such configuration just fine. Actually, since most of the software I'm using is GTK-based, my per-monitor DPI configuration tool(s) are a pair of xsettingsd running with different DISPLAY variables, and having different Xft/DPI values (and a few other tweaks, like different font rendering options). I'm running two openbox instances , xfce4-panel and tint2 , and two picom instances to properly support client side decorations. And I'm trying to scrape some time to patch xfwm4 and xfce4-panel to support per-screen processes for both . This way I'm driving 24" 4K as my primary display, for coding/browsing/etc, and 24" 2K as a sidekick for monitoring/documentation/spotify/etc

So, basically: performance accessing files on the host from the VM over NFS is not great, and this is bad. performance accessing files in the VM from the host over NFS is not great, and this is ok . Kind of self-contradictory
