  • Are there any distros that could run on a pentium 2?

    Jump

  • Fli4l is still around?! Crazy. I used that back in 2002 or so to turn an old i386 with 3 ISA HP 100Mbit network cards into a router + fileserver combo. Good times.

  • Java uses double ram.

    Jump

  • glibc's malloc increases the stacksize of threads depending on the number of cpu cores you have. The JVM might spawn a shitload of threads. That can increase the memory usage outside of the JVMs heap considerably. You could try to run the jvm with tcmalloc (which will replace malloc calls for the spawned process). Also different JVMs bundle different memory allocators. I think Zulu could also improve the situation out of the box. tcmalloc might still help additionally.

  • What's your job?

    Jump

  • Software/Staff Engineer, as Architect and Solver. So I help design our system (from the technical side), I assist and to a degree coordinate teams, I jump in when know how or man power is needed, I rework or rebuild systems that have no clear ownership of a team, and so on. Oh and I always have an opinion no matter which (technical) topic.

  • How was your experience using Linux in college?

    Jump

  • I ran Arch on a convertible laptop around 2006-2010. Most notes I did using OpenOffice Writer, with hotkeys to quickly add formulas. Drawings were done with the pen. Homework (where speed didn't matter as much but where I wanted high quality) were done in ConTeXt.

    Programming was done in FreePascal using Lazarus IDE or Java using Netbeans IDE, depending on the course and my personal preference.

    I think I had no complaints from anyone. Quite the contrary, one professor even gifted me a book as a thanks for the high quality typesetting in my homeworks, since most students didn't give a shit and had no fucking clue how to really use their beloved MS Word.

  • What Air Conditioner would you recomend between $500 and $700 CAD?

    Jump

  • Thanks for filling that gap of knowledge!

  • What Air Conditioner would you recomend between $500 and $700 CAD?

    Jump

  • So they have two airflows? Then I assume in contrast to the ones with just one exhaust they need two fans? One for circulating (and cooling) the air from the room and one to circulate the air from (and to) the outside?

    Then I assume that would make them even noisier then the single exhaust ones, right? (More moving parts.)

    Jump

  • Two tubes still means it pulls in hot air from the outside that it then needs to cool down first. The split ACs are basically the only sane ones (but expensive).

  • That invitation confused me hard. With the picture of a city I expected to find a location somewhere. But then it was a relatively subtle word "online" on a link deeper down that finally gave away that it's an online meetup.

  • Immich v1.109.1 released with optional paid license

    Jump

  • So "it's weird then". As I said. And basically as the person I answered to said.

  • Immich v1.109.1 released with optional paid license

    Jump

  • Yeah but why not both? Extra support shouldn't hurt.

  • Immich v1.109.1 released with optional paid license

    Jump

  • ... each time the server restart and randomly during login.

  • They already accept donations as a means of continuous support. So I guess this is now just another channel for people who prefer buying a license over using github donations.

    Edit: oh I just realized they stopped donations with the restructuring. Ok, that's weird then.

  • CachyOS Introduces New Repository Optimized for AMD Zen 4 and Zen 5 CPUs

    Jump

  • Even latest gen Intel i5 don't have AVX512.

  • They also ship ZFS out of the box, which makes their kernels my go-to solution for the systems I want to boot off ZFS.

  • GE-Proton9-10 Released

    Jump

  • Proton-GE is a custom distribution of Proton with its own patches applied.

    umu is a script/launcher that makes it easier running Proton without Steam.

    So these projects work together, not against each other.

    I am so confused regarding hyprlock and systemctl combination

    Jump

  • There is no "maybe" here. With systemctl suspend you tell systemd to suspend the whole machine. Most of the hardware will be powered down.

    Maybe you should generally separate those concerns? Depends entirely on your usecase, but maybe you want your screenlock to do only that... lock the screen. Then you do not want suspend/sleep in there at all.

  • Why do you still hate Windows?

    Jump

  • Although to be fair, WSL fixes that issue to a big degree. Maybe even better than OSX, since you get a real Linux with real userspace. WSL(2) might be the only really cool feature Microsoft added to Windows, that actually brings value for the user.

  • Offlive account during install works only when you are not connected to the internet from that PC. Maybe also only with Win Pro, not Home.

    The crap you have to disable are all dark patterns and I hope the EU rips them a few more holes.

    "Just update".... I think I went into enough details about what pissed me off in my initial comment.

    Almost every Linux distro would have been: boot the installer, select disk, select meta packages, username, password, done. 10 mins later you have an up to date system with no shady online crap.

  • Linux during the mid to late 90s (Windows 95 and 98 era)

    Jump

  • I remember buying a bunch of old HP ISA 100Mbit NICs to turn an old computer into a router/server combo. Naive as I was I put them all in and nothing worked. Turns out they were all configured to use the same IRQ (since they likely came from independent machines), and that caused them to overwrite each others settings... including the MAC adress. Thankfully I found some nice hacker that worked with these cards before and published a little C tool to rewrite their EEPROMs. I contacted him if he sees a chance to resurrect the cards and that saint indeed hacked the necessary features into his tool so I could rewrite the MAC adresses, change the IRQ one by one and ended up with a working network. Good times.
