So, can this be used to speed up Gentoo's emerge/portage tools?

I thought Qt 6 was supposed to have some special JavaScript to native compiler or something to make Qt Quick less of a drag? Did they decide it was too...

Newsflash: software engineering is time consuming hard work.

Trying to re-invent an already mature, stable, and well adopted piece of software...

MMMmmm good, faster start up times!

Now we just need "fix and continue" support and gdb will be complete.

That's great that they're finally supporting Raspberry Pi with a full desktop!

I do refuse to use any Electron app. Reddit I only use grudgingly to retrieve some answer or another that Google claims might be found over there. I definitely...

I have a lot of experience with dynamic undervolting in microcontroller electronics. It is a very lucrative endevour for battery powered devices, but...

Sure, Microsoft could port their own NTFS driver over, but how compatible with the Linux source code infrastructure do you think their Windows NTFS code...

[ed31337]

Does anybody have any suspicions as to why Paragon is looking to mainline their NTFS driver? Wouldn't this sabotage their commerical driver income? For...

I think "When is Microsoft replacing Windows with Linux?" should become a meme.

We've got this fast, secure Linux kernel with it's...

[ed31337]

Hooray! Now I'll be able to learn Vulkan.

And I don't know when this happened, but sometime ago somebody fixed something in the RPi4 OpenGL...

[ed31337]

So, in other words, now we're optimizing the kernel by using self modifying code? Awesome!

One thing that bugged me about Linux video editors was that none of them seem to support lossless video editing. Most of the time, I just want to cut...

[ed31337]

In the earlier days, X11 provided Linux with video drivers entirely in userspace. But it was a poor system. It caused problems with Linux console frame...

Somehow, I very much doubt a laptop specific new fan for this old HP laptop is going to cost only $10. Unless you're talkin about an external fan blowing...

Cooling, the achille's heel of most cheap computer systems. And by cheap, I mean expensive to buy, but cheaply made and engineered to fail at some point...

2GB RAM? No thanks. Even at 4GB, my RPi4 really could use more RAM. I keep eyeballing the 8GB version whenever it goes in stock, but at $75 I keep hesitantly...

How do you keep your fancy fans from getting caked up with dust over time? Do you periodically shut it down to clean them or do you have filtered air...

[ed31337]

Yeah, and then when Mozilla implodes and takes down Rust with it, what then? Mesa developers will have to take up maintaining Rust in addition to Mes...
