Andries Brouwer on the OOM killer
  • jeremias jeremias Now 100%

    You will always need some sort of oom killer unless you have endless memory (or swap space, which comes with its own problems in the form of grinding your system to an almost halt). Imagine all memory is in use, then some system critical task (or even the kernel itself) needs memory as well. If the kernel can't kill a less important process to free memory in such a situation you might just crash your system.

  • What is the earliest memory that you have?
  • jeremias jeremias Now 100%

    Hearing Snow by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers while my mom is folding clothes (thats a very specific one). I have no idea how old I was exactly but I remember it vividly. The funny thing is that I didn't understand a word of the song as german is my native language. Recently I stumbled across the song again and suddenly, as if struck by lightning, I remembered this weird mundane situation as if it was yesterday. The human mind is so weird.

    Nur noch dieses Monat, dann bin ich zurück in meinem alten 9 bis 17. Echt respekt an alle die das Langfristig machen, habe jetzt nicht mal ein Jahr Schichtdienst gemacht und fühle mich 10 Jahre älter. Habe gedacht ich bin 20, da geht das noch, aber ehrlich, das Geld ist es nicht wert.

  • EXT4 Has A Very Nice Performance Optimization For Linux 6.11 (Phoronix)
  • jeremias jeremias Now 100%

    and you can afford to lose everything in the case of a power cut

    But ext4 is a journaling filesystem, so a power cut shouldn't harm it.

  • GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better
  • jeremias jeremias Now 100%

    I have no idea about apple design guidelines and am not a UX designer, but wouldn't a horizontal seperator look better? In gtk i would add one here, gives some extra space and more visual seperation.

    I was the same, but I recently gave zig a try, it's lovely to write.

    Managed to segfault the compiler though, so maybe not quite ready yet.

  • Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement
  • jeremias jeremias Now 97%

    So I don't even use systemd myself I run OpenRC. Yet honestly I find the idea quite intriguing, having the service manager (PID 1) invoke the command seems like a cool idea to me.

    It's not really a sudo alternative as much as it is another way of doing something similar.

    Hey LKW fahrer hier, mach gerade meine 45 Minuten Pause (-;

    LKWs haben zwar tote Winkel Spiegel und ich muss sagen dass ich darin eigentlich bis jetzt immer alles sehen konnte (fahre erst seit ein paar Wochen), aber rechts habe ich 4 Spiegel, da geht schnell mal was unter oder man wird (leider) faul, so wie manche PKW Fahrer keinen Schulterblick machen. Habe bei meinen Einschulungsfahrten Fahrer gesehen, die garnicht erst in die Spiegel geschaut haben beim abbiegen. Der Warner in den LKWs meiner Firma piepst automatisch wenn er bei eingeschlagenem Lenkrad oder Blinker was erkennt, so ist man zumindest aufmerksam wenn doch mal etwas rechts neben dem Auto ist.

    Tote Winkel gibt es aber zumindest auf jeden fall direkt hinter dem LKW, da gibts auch keine Spiegel für. Wundert mich manchmal selbst wenn aus dem nichts ein Auto zum überholen ansetzt das ich hinter mir garnicht kommen sehen konnte.

    Sonst ist eigentlich alles gut durch Spiegel abgedeckt. Trotzdem bitte vorsicht rechts neben und direkt vorm LKW. Kein Fahrer fährt euch gerne an.

  • Help with Openbox menu to run command
  • jeremias jeremias Now 100%

    Alternatively you can launch sudo inside a terminal window. For example with xterm: xterm -e sudo [some command] [some arguments] [...] This will pop up a terminal window to type your password in.

    Pretty sure almost all terminal emulators have a similar argument.

  • What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?
  • jeremias jeremias Now 93%

    Also tiktok really only makes sense with a big algorithm knowing what users want to see. Even if you were to follow many people, with the average video being only about 30 seconds long you won't have much content to enjoy. The whole short form video thing is kinda built on knowing what your user likes and doesn't. I don't know how you could design such a platform without some privacy concerns.

    IIRC it comes with a firmware called InfiniTime preinstalled. So I guess that one.

    I had the absolute pleasure to sit in BOTH of these Panthers at Innsbruck airport last year.

    They even startet the engines and drove out of the hangar with us inside and gave us a little water salute. Absolute pleasure, I felt like a little kid!

    I do have a video of the spray, sadly there were many people around and I don't want to show their faces. Needless to say these things shoot water like a rocket!

  • Bring Karma back from reddit (if you want, no hard feelings pls), but without toxicity (maybe)!
  • jeremias jeremias Now 100%

    Karma inherently breeds monotony and circlejerking. When people "farm" for fake internet pointe by appealing to the oppinions of everyone else it leads to people just expressing one "right" (popular) oppinion.

    I think we are fine without a karma system, but if you like it go ahead and use the extension. I'm happy I don't have to worry about karma, and worst of all, karma minimums on communities here.

    [Swaybar] Cava in swaybar

    Distro: Gentoo WM: Sway Bar: Swaybar It seems swaybar gets very little love, but it is honestly amazing how easily customizable it is. I have only been able to find similar things for waybar, so I thought I should probably just code up a solution for spectrum visualization myself. In the background runs a little selfmade C program that uses cava in binary raw mode, playerctl, pactl and some system functions to gather all the necessary information like the spectrum analyzer, song currently playing, volume and date/time. Some rudimentary optimization was done to keep swaybar from drawing when the levels haven't changed, so if no audio is playing it takes up basically no computing power. The source code is pretty hacked together, but if someone wants it, just comment and I'll provide it. ~~A small moving demo of the spectrum analyzer: [https://youtu.be/S7IFNHgnybU](https://youtu.be/S7IFNHgnybU)~~ Edit: turns out YouTube doesn't like weird aspect ratios and stopped processing the video, so here we go again, this time hosted on my server: ![https://jears.at/pub/swaybar-demo.webm](https://jears.at/pub/swaybar-demo.webm) [https://jears.at/pub/swaybar-demo.webm](https://jears.at/pub/swaybar-demo.webm)
