Atemu, to linux in Windows NT Sync Driver Proposed For The Linux Kernel - Better Wine Performance
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Proton would still need to make use of it.

Damn rat files…

I just opened a nix-shell with unrar in it on aarch64-linux and am able to execute it, so yes, it can be made to work.

Indeed it won’t modify rar archives. What do you need those for?

The typical flow for rar archives is to unpack them and then either leave the files on disk as plain files or put them into a better archive format such as 7z.

Only with the unfree unrar plugin.

It can only do that with the unfree unrar plugin. Do not expect your distro to ship it by default due to that issue.

Atemu, (edited ) to privacy in Accept cookie banners with third-party cookies rejected
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Cookie banners are not really about cookies.

What they’re actually asking for is consent to process your data for profit in unethical ways. That usually involves cookies but could theoretically be done entirely without. They’re just a technological standard.

You might aswell say: “We use https. [consent] [settings]”

And, most importantly, money bags to subsidise the hell out of it. Let’s not kid ourselves here, the damn low price is one of the main reasons why people buy the SD rather than the ~2x more expensive alternatives.

Atemu, to selfhosted in Best Way To Mount A Directory on Boot
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ll let you in on a little secret: Fstab gets converted to mount units anyways.

Debian has an effective Rolling distribution through testing than can get ahead of Arch.

I wouldn’t call a distro “branch” where maintainers say “don’t use this, it’s not officially supported and may even be insecure” an “effective” distribution. I’d consider it a test bed.

Debian tends to align its release with LTS Kernel and Mesa releases so there have been times the latest stable is running newer versions than Ubuntu

  • Ubuntu LTS.

Ubuntu’s regular channel releases every 6 months, similar to Fedora or NixOS. That in itself is already a “stable” distro, just not long-time stable (LTS).
So Debian can for a short span of time after release be about as fresh as stable distros which is …kinda obvious? I would not consider a month or so every 2 years to be significant to even mention though, especially if you consider that Debian users aren’t the kind to jump onto a new release early on.

For some the priority to run software that won’t have major bugs, that is what Debian, Ubuntu LTS and RHEL offer.

That’s not the point of those distros at all. The point is to have the same features aswell as bugs for longer periods of time. This is because some functionality the user wants could depend on such bugs/unintended behaviour to be present.

The fact that huge regressions have to be weeded out more carefully before release in LTS is obvious if you know that it’d be expected for those “bugs” to remain present throughout the release’s support window.

As an example, users of Debian are reporting tons of KDE Plasma bugs that was already fixed, but because they are running an ancient version, they still have the bugs.

The idea is that those bug fixes would be backported as patches; old feature version + new security/bug fixes.

In practice, that’s really expensive to do, so often times bug fixes simply aren’t backported and I don’t even want to know the story of security fixes though I’d hope they do better there.

Atemu, to linux in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

And, even more importantly, search.nixos.org/options to figure out which options to set. Always search for options first. “Installing” something by just adding the package to systemPackages etc. is usually the correct thing to do for end-user applications but not for “system things” such as services.

Atemu, to linux in Linux 6.8 Network Optimizations Can Boost TCP Performance For Many Concurrent Connections By ~40%
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Depends. There was that one F2P COD clone which used TCP and IIRC it did fine?

Atemu, (edited ) to linux in Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex...
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

You could take the revision number. nixos-unstable has 567011 commits currently.

Atemu, (edited ) to linux in TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

I meant that as a reply to the second paragraph which generalised anarchism; including the non-Linux world.
I also disagree that this isn’t an issue in the broader Linux community however. See for example the loud minority with an irrational hate against quite obviously good software projects like systemd who got those ideas from charlatans or “experts”.

It’s unkown whether he improved his temper or whether he just built a very good mail filter for himself though.
