I'm vague because I haven't used BTRFS since 2016 and last time I was looking into it was around mid last year, where it has the largest section of my...

Check the vm dirty kernel tunables(sysctl or something? should be able to google it). If you've got the defaults and a fair amount of RAM, then adjust...

[polarathene]

VM solution to partition the organized setup you have is probably useful too then I guess? It is a bit of a hassle to approach and get setup though I...

[polarathene]

Just to make sure it's clear.. The internal de-dupe is by a flash controller, not all SSD(and unlikely in USB sticks afaik) are going to do this optimization,...

[polarathene]

Actually, afaik it's not the read I/O you're seeing, but write I/O to the kernel buffer(RAM). I ran into this same issue a couple years back when writing...

[polarathene]

Defrag doesn't play well with other features iirc, such as snapshots? I think it causes some issues in combination with some other features too. Not that...

[polarathene]

Sounds like you should be running a bare server not a DE as the host system. That'll have no issues with uptime, and you can keep your services/appliances...

[polarathene]

Nice change with the speed fix, just got to wait until August now

I think a month or so ago someone was mentioning that specific performance...

You know Linux in itself, distro/DE choices aside is considered niche already right? Silly issue to raise as not being the norm. Why use Linux in the...

[polarathene]

Out of curiousity, why is it important to you for a DE to have such long uptime? Is there a problem with restarting/shutting down? Especially with modern...

What benefits does Ada have over Rust? Asking as a dev with experience writing Rust code but not that familiar with Ada which has apparently been around...

[polarathene]

Electron has pros/cons, resource usage isn't great, and I can't say I'd want all my apps losing UI consistency, can be annoying enough as it is to run...

[polarathene]

Aren't those for OpenGL ES? Would be non-issue on Vulkan?...

[polarathene]

I suppose those aren't likely to have great battery life?

[polarathene]

I imagine if You can run the DE with Wayland on Vulkan, then nvidia users would be happy? From what I hear, despite nvidia contributing code to get Wayland...

[polarathene]

What's wrong with it? Should bring more power efficiency so would be great for laptops/portables, could be swung the other way as bringing the market...

[polarathene]

The Sony IMX219 appears to be the 8MP cam that the RPi has had for years now. Has that not worked with mainline before or what was it using before this...

[polarathene]

Uhhh... as oppossed to what.. a "feature" update that adds telemetry without any opt-in/out from the user? Same thing. If you remove the opt-in...

[polarathene]

opt-in is ok if you want to support a project by providing anonymous data. Especially if it's an open-source project, you can confirm what sort of telemetry...

I have had pretty basic WebGL scenes, as simple as glxgears, some without any animation at all, no extra logic changing, just rendering the same static...
