XFS started out very modern for its time. It is still quite modern, in my opinion.

Anyway, nothing much has changed since the 1980s in computer...

My experience with btrfs is that with a RAID1 the scrub finds the problem in your MP3 files, corrects it and everything continues as normal. Then I repeatedly...

[Zan Lynx]

Yes, because PostgreSQL and Nginx are preconfigured in there.

Hint: They're not.

And many admins I've run into are too good...

[Zan Lynx]

The real test with FreeBSD is the add-ons. No two BSD admins will do things the same way. Every single one thinks that he, and only he, knows the One...

Measuring quality by bugfixes is hilarious. That's why I brought it up here when EXT4 had a pile of bugfixes. You'd think, after all, that if this was...

[Zan Lynx]

Yeah, gnome-shell compositing and / or Wayland support does not require a fancy GPU. It's very basic OpenGL or EGL stuff that should be supported by even...

I had that happen once to me. Although in my case the error was unrecoverable (the data was recoverable but the metadata could not be repaired) and more...

Linux does not have a "copy_file" system call. The "cp" command does a series of read/write calls, or in some cases it mmaps the source...

Agreed. I worked on a software project a few years ago which was a library. Doing PGO on it was worth about 15% improvement. It already had a pretty good...

Vectorizing and register optimization will often break code that doesn't follow the standards. Or it is a bug in the compiler. But when I see this it's...

Three machines with AMD graphics here. Zero crashes.

Now, I used to have GPU crashes on this AMD 3900X / Vega 56. After changing to standard...

Huh? iGPUs only have a purpose in laptops. Otherwise they are a waste of silicon.

I haven't purchased a desktop Intel CPU with an iGPU, ever....

[Zan Lynx]

Doesn't this mean that the PoE renderer is accessing memory out of bounds? This sounds like a bug!

I wonder how this got past the Vulkan...

[Zan Lynx]

Many people do like it.

I think that if people want a different interface, they have many choices. Gnome should keep doing what they do....

[Zan Lynx]

I am now running Vega cards on two Linux systems and a Radeon Pro WX 7100 on another one. They all work great.

I'm sure there's some weird...

If your Intel graphics are having a hard time with [email protected] check your RAM setup. If it is single channel that's probably the problem.

I'm pretty happy with this. I've been using zswap on my Fedora laptops for ages. I haven't tried zram. But it looks like a similar idea.
