  • What the fuck is an SBAT and why does everyone suddenly care

    Jump

  • They also fuck over their own OS. I don't think they deliberately broke dual boot installs, they simply don't put enough effort in QA. (See their recent problems with BitLocker after an update. Or that one update that fails because some internal partition is too small. And so on.)

  • 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.

  • Actors demand action over 'disgusting' video game sex scenes

    Jump

  • I wonder if that would be a genuine use case for "AI". If the voice actor consents to have his voice represented in such a scene but doesn't want to play it out in a studio, the computer model could take over that part.

  • Is mafia 3 really that bad?

    Jump

  • It's an okay game, but far worse than the first two. They forced an open world onto it, and made it pretty repetitive. The DLC is more linear and feels a lot more like a typical Mafia story telling.

  • 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.

  • Louis Rossmann's response to harsh criticism of "Stop Killing Games" from Thor of @PirateSoftware

    Jump

  • Its not said that they need devs to target home machines, it says they need to give the resources so people can host it themselves, period.

    Before attacking me with such an arrogant rant, maybe read what I wrote.

    I said:

    Once they release the source, people can refactor or reengineer it to run on smaller scale, replace proprietary databases with free ones, etc.

    So of course it's about releasing anything (!) at all.

    I simply said that you can't compare a small fan project like a WoW self hosted server with Blizzards infrastructure and the requirements to have a high available setup for millions of players.

    ArenaNet is quite open about their infrastructure and you can see that this is far from trivial, but also allows them to have zero downtime updates. That is a huge feat, but also means that self hosting that thing will be a pain in the ass. Yet I would not want them to not do this just so it could be easily (!) self hosted some time in the distant future.

  • Such an architecture is typically shit. Building a system that is simple AND scales high won't work. Complexity usually gets added to cope with scale. If we don't allow companies to build scalable (i.e. complex) systems, we simply won't get such games anymore.

    Again: I am completely in favor of forcing devs to release everything necessary to host it. I am not in favor of forcing devs to target home machines for their servers, when their servers clearly have completely different requirements. That's unrealistic.

  • Louis Rossmann's response to harsh criticism of "Stop Killing Games" from Thor of @PirateSoftware

    Jump

  • Not a fair comparison. The private servers were written with the small hosting in mind. They would very likely never scale to what Blizzard has in place. For all I know, Blizzard could run their stuff on a Mainframe with specific platform optimizations against an IBM DB2.

    But I also don't think this has to be transferable to a local setup without effort either. Once they release the source, people can refactor or reengineer it to run on smaller scale, replace proprietary databases with free ones, etc.

  • 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

  • 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

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

  • 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.
