Coming from Rust I am toying around with Lua at the moment. Lua is a small, simple and I would say a very neat language. But for big projects like an entire game I would personally much prefer a “traditional” compiled language like C/C++, Java/C# or Rust. Scripting langs are great for small scopes, but they quickly become a burden for bigger things in my opinion.

But I like to use Btrfs on top of LUKS and more often than not it’s not an option.

Does it have to be an overlay or would a regular notification that pops up suffice? Those may be quite easy to write fir your chosen DE.

Very neat idea!

This is pretty verbatim.

Sounds like a great market situation for Aldi or Lidl to expand into!

Your btrfs snapshots are possibly counted separately by all the regular tools. They simply go into every directory they can find and add up the size of the files they see. They do not care if they are looking at an identical snapshot of the folder next to them, they simply add it all up.

Use sudo btrfs filesystem show (and maybe add a path behind it, I am not sure). That will give you the true usage.

That site is a gold mine!

I’ll look into that, thank you!

I’ve always been on android, so take this with a grain of salt. In my opinion Samsung phones have come a very long way. They used to be slower and bloated in comparison to other brands, especially while the market was still moving fast. I used to have a Sony, a ZTE, a Motorola, an Umi and a Jiayu - I tried quite a few over the years.

The recent generation are all fast enough and performance wise last 4+ years before they get noticably slow and an upgrade becomes necessary. Software support on Samsung is now phenomenal. I had so many bugs and hitches on other vendors’ phones and they were rarely fixed - the absolute opposite has been the experience on my Samsungs. Updates are frequent, smooth and stable.

I know this reads like an ad, but I was honestly positively suprised after I bought a Samsung tablet a few years back and have slowly switched over to Samsung devices. The same happened with all other members of my family. Samsung simply won.

I suppose the iPhone is very similar in that regard, both simply work and are great for everyday use. It’s almost boring!

I do advice you to look at the upper end though, they simply have more performance reserves. If you are a display menace and battery destroyer though, you won’t notice any significant slow down from the cheaper range in the 2 to 3 years you have before it becomes uneconomical to repair the device anyways.

Out of curiosity, how did you solve that software wise? I was planning to do the same thing with my old MFP. Are you just using CUPS and SANE?

It’s probably also highly automated and the staff’s job is just to watch for irregularities and alert the necessary teams.

But it has had networking capabilities for like… ever? RTSP, HTTP, …

Changes are looking good, great to see it is still very active!

Please actually read the post.

How would they earn money on this? It’s still a FOSS project. They are simply revamping their GUI and adding support for one more protocol.

Plex is NOT FOSS! Plex is a private company’s cash cow.

Maybe read more than the headline.

Dude, they are not starting their own ad supported streaming service. They are merely adding dupport for one more streaming protocol that happens to be used for that. If these services were using RTSP for their streams, they’d already be supported. This is absolutely in line with VLC’s swiss army knife-approach.

Otherwise, new GUI sounds good to me. The old one is proven but a bit clunky.

Oh and you also need a decently sized stone crusher for all your failed attempts and speedbenchies.

There’s Syncthing and it’s proprietary counterpart Resilio that allow you to sync folders between machines and send individual files over p2p. Very neat software.
