Oracle Java license teams set to begin targeting Oracle users who don't think they use Oracle
  • If you develop on windows, Adoptium.net will give you prebuilt openjdk.

    Only if you know it exists. It's not something that comes up when searching for it.

  • Leap Micro 6.0 reaches Beta
  • It's better in one way, in that updates are applied on reboot rather than pulling the rug put from under running applications. But I agree that it doesn't go all the way, as it doesn't provide a verifiable base system with clearly separated modifications. OSTree would be great.

    Another possibility would be to distribute a base image as a btrfs send stream (possibly differential against previous versions) containing a compose-fs image and associated files. And then OS extensions could be installed with systemd-sysext.

  • It's easier to remember the IPs of good DNSes, too.
  • 64 for the wan interface

    Nitpicking, but the address for the wan interface wouldn't have a prefix, so the host would just set it as a /128 (point-to-point)

  • Lost in translation
  • Oh, I thought that was just a grouping

  • Lost in translation
  • What's the difference between case 2 and 3? Those look the same to me. The three cases look like:

    • ¬complete ∧ ¬cancelled ∧ ¬null
    • (¬complete ∧ ¬cancelled) ∨ null
    • ¬(complete ∨ cancelled) ∨ null
  • VLC Player
  • I used to use it, but then I switched to MPV, as it works a lot better with hardware acceleration. MPV supports more methods for hardware decoding (e.g. nvdec), and also MPV will keep the frames in VRAM when doing hardware decoding, and do additional processing and presentation using the GPU, while VLC copies everything back to system RAM and processes the frame on the CPU.

    At the time I switched hardware decoding with copy-back would actually result in twice the CPU usage compared to software decoding, but that was a long time ago. Also, I would get tearing in VLC and not in MPV.

  • Installing and using Jellyfin without root
  • You're right, that might work

  • iFixit is breaking up with Samsung. ‘Samsung’s approach to repairability does not align with our mission,’ says iFixit’s CEO.
  • Motorola and Nokia have phones with 3.5mm jack, and they come with pretty clean Android, without a bunch of bloat, aggressive task killers and whatnot. Though I can't speak for camera, photosphere or repairability.

    Pixels are good in some ways, but of course, those don't come with a 3.5mm jack.

  • We've all been there...
  • Speaking of which, nowadays KDE hides files with these extensions for some reason

  • TCL demonstrates 4K gaming monitor with a 1,000 Hz refresh rate
  • Oops, I misread, that was a different monitor

  • TCL demonstrates 4K gaming monitor with a 1,000 Hz refresh rate
  • So it's not really a 4K 1000Hz screen then, if it's just togglable between being a 4k 240 Hz screen and a 1080p 1000 Hz screen.

  • Any of you folks around before epoch need a new job?
  • Sounds like a typical COBOL dev

  • Can I make it fit, or do I have to just let it go?
  • Maybe if you use a file system that supports compression, e.g. btrfs, bcachefs, F2FS, squashfs, or EROFS. Of course, you'd need to add a separate FAT32 EFI System Partition for the bootloader, not sure how to do that.

  • Comparison of privacy and/or security focused Android ROMs versus "Stock" Android
  • What's the difference between significantly and extensively?

  • Self-hosted Jellyfin CPU or GPU for 4K HDR transcoding?
  • A310 is the cheapest.

    I wonder how well it does for transcoding on older computers without ReBAR, since apparently gaming on it is straight out broken without ReBAR. As in, it would actually freeze for a second or so every now and then.

  • The retro Nokia phone everyone owned 25 years ago will get a reboot soon – and yes, it has Snake
  • The problem is the previous one only has 2G, and the 2G networks will soon be shut down, hence why they're making a 4G version.

  • MO2 works amazing with proton, even with an excessive amount of mods
  • Last time I tried it, the game's performance dropped severely when launched through MO2 in Wine.
