Oh I thought this was just the vulkan implementation of directx for wine, but apparently this person is saying that they forked that so it can be used natively from linux programs?

I'm really glad I haven't had to edit an x.org configuration fine in years, although I have had to do stuff like blacklist nouveau so my computer doesn't crash when x starts.

Maybe they insist on running build servers on os x vm's rather than having a secret linux port of their toolchain but they still are willing to use some standard hypervisor?

The filesystem situation is pretty bad though. EXT4 works fine for what it is but I wish there was something built into linux that had more modern features and wasn't scary for various reasons. BTRFS seems like it will never be safe and the the licensing problem with ZFS can probably never be overcome. At this rate maybe reiserfs will somehow come back after reiser gets out on parole. I wonder if the situation wouldn't actually be better if ZFS had never been open sourced, since its existence seems to have unfortunately decreased interest in developing alternatives. mystes fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jan 10, 2020 |

Snapshots are one of the areas where LVM is really behind stuff like ZFS, unfortunately.

The one feature I personally really want from BTRFS/ZFS is fast incremental backups, but I don't think it's worth messing with ZFS just for that and lol BTRFS.

Tankakern posted:mocking btrfs is like a meme. it works wonders, you should use it. used it on literally all of my systems for years, i've never had any issues. Most computers aren't hard reset that often but there's no way I'm going to use a filesystem that can't handle being hard reset.

I had this weird problem with libvirt where when I edited the settings for a vm they would change back again if I rebooted the host or restarted the libvirt service. Apparently this was because I had two configuration files with the same vm name, although it's weird because it's not like it was copying the configuration from the other VM as far as I can tell, and there were no errors, and using virsh to edit the configuration worked fine and the changes persisted until I restarted the service. It would have been nice if it just said "error: you have two vms with the same name, dumbass."

It won't really affect KDE, but if lgpl qt and proprietary qt end up diverging slightly more again it could be a huge pain in the rear end for other people who are trying to use qt for cross-platform software.

vscode isn't perfect and it's using electron and everything, but I still think it's kind of in a sweet spot where it's open source, has good extensibility so it can support new/niche languages, and is easy to use.

Maybe my plan will be to simultaneously upgrade to a new computer with USB4, get a hi-dpi display, and try switching to wayland again in two or so more years when I can muster the energy to give a poo poo.

I'd get a 4k monitor but it would be a pain with my current setup. I have a linux computer and a windows computer next to each other, one monitor is connected to the linux computer, and one monitor is connected to a hdmi switch which is connected to both computers (because the monitor only has one port I guess). I think the linux computer doesn't have a video card that can handle 4k over dvi or hdmi, so I'd probably have to replace both monitors, replace the video card, and probably buy a new power supply. If I replace the linux computer in a couple years I'll probably just switch to using virtualization with gpu passthrough for windows, and use one 4k monitor rather than multiple non-hidpi monitors, but I have a better graphics card in the windows computer and the power supply in the linux computer definitely can't handle that right now. Thank you for listening to my ted talk.
