You have to open the images in a new tab to get the full res version. Then the webp lossless looks perfect.

WebP is actually based on a video codec. It's just that VP8 pretty much never caught on with hardware encoders/decoders apparently.

The first picture is very hard to spot imo. I had to zoom in a bit to spot it initially. You'll see the "blockiness" is slightly worse in the webp version. (Left side of the image, head height)

For the second image, I opened the jpeg 90 [1] and webp 90 [2] versions. Comparing those two, there are clear banding issues to the right of the neck. Slightly less visible are the darker bands circling around the whole image, though still noticeable if you know where to look.

Comparing the jpeg 90 version with either webp lossless, jpeg 100 or jpeg 95, I can spot some very slight banding in the jpeg 90 version just to the right of the neck. Very difficult to spot though without zooming in.

I compared launch price across Steam and Epic for a few games a while ago both cost the same.

Why would I choose Epic and loose

- Linux support - social features - the workshop - (mostly) having a single launcher

They also pulled a few games off Steam just before launch after they'd already been advertised there.

Didn't Intel switch to using d9vk on their Arc GPUs because it was faster and less work than fixing DX9 directly?

I bought a used OnePlus 3 on ebay and because I already had another OP3 I noticed right away that the screen was different. Especially in a dark room it was obious that somebody had replaced the original OLED screen with a cheaper IPS one.

I did end up getting a partial refund for about the price of a replacement OLED screen.

My point is simply that I can't see any evidence of Wayland using more memory than Xorf in the scenarios we can compare.

You're free to find or create benchmarks of lighter Wayland compositors and prove me wrong, of course.

Sure, but purely based on the comparisons between KDE and Gnome under Xorg and Wayland, I don't see any indication that Wayland would inherently use more memory.

It's simply a matter of using one of the lighter Wayland compositors, none of which have been tested in the comparison you linked.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Compositors

Agreed, but this will change in the feature when Wine and later Proton get native Wayland support.

Based on your source Wayland vs Xorg memory usage looks to be within the error margin and I don't know which computer you're running where an additional 100MB claimed make the system unusable.

You missed the ~

The full path would be /home/user/.local/bin

Finally, the chance to build CCP/IP

I can absolutely recommend FolderSync. It's not open source, but absolutely solid for automatic and scheduled uploads of various files.

I guess it's fine if you want a widely integrated solution that can do a lot of different things. I'm using it only for myself, so definitely not representative of using it in a company but maybe my experience helps.

The just working part, at least for me, are the calendar and contact plugins. Never had any issues with those. File sync with the desktop client works mostly fine on Linux where I use it most of the time. However, I've run into issues with it on Windows. Using the automatic bandwidth limit for example might cause Explorer to freeze. [1] Also forget about the automatic upload feature in the Android client, I switched to FolderSync for a reliable experience.

I've managed to get OnlyOffice working, Collabora Office previously broke for some reason. However latest upgrade also broke OnlyOffice. The solution for this is to put the secret and authorization headers into config.php in addition to the OnlyOffice plugin settings. [2] No idea why, but that is a thing.

My Nextcloud runs as a normal PHP application and I haven't had any issues with upgrading yet. Going from, I think, version 23 on Debian 11 to 27.1 now on a different machine running Debian 12 since I started using it.

Maybe I should find something more focused on file syncing, but the all-in-one approach of Nextcloud and its various plugins makes trying some new services very easy.

I tried searching for workarounds of network shares causing explorer freezes when no connection can be made.

The only "solution" I found was sfc /scannow

I'm using i3wm and maybe I've been doing scaling wrong, but I've only needed to set Xft.dpi and one setting in Polybar (because it doesn't read Xft.dpi) to scale everything toba comfortable size.

Why wouldn't it change the layout immediately? If the user changes the setting, I would imagine at least a sizeable portion of those users want to use their desired keyboard layout to enter their information and might be unable to do so using whatever layout is selected by default.

> - it asks for a keyboard locale, which then relocated the @ symbol somewhere totally bizarre (why it would allow this instead of forcing the keyboard it is installed with is beyond me, and I just chose UK vs USA, as I am used to this choice being more important for autocorrect and AUS spelling is more UK than US. No - apparently there are a bunch of keyboard layout differences that will then mean you need to google in an external device to work out why the @ symbol has moved, which means you can’t log in with your Microsoft account

I'm sorry, but obviously the keyboard layout moves keys. How else would you expect someone to type using dvorak, have Z and Y keys swapped on German language keyboards or swap keys to perform the most common function for a language. ö and é for example are on the same key but swapped in which one you need Shift for between German and French layouts.

Preset 10 is pretty fast, but you're disabling a lot of the features that allow better quality and compression ratios (see readme on the svt-av1 repo). For archiving 3 or 4 is probably good.

The WHOIS records for a lot of domains are hidden by default now and only know to the registrar, available in specific scenarios upon request.

This only affects the official AMD vulkan driver. Mesa's vulkan driver is still being supported, check if you're using that.

Check if you're using the mesa driver for vulkan.

See my comment here

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38032124#38035968

Apparently this isn't as bad as it sounds. Reason being, there are three drivers for vulkan on Linux with AMD GPUs.

The first one is RADV, part of the mesa project and will continue to receive updates with mesa.

AMDVLK comes in two variants, one open source and one closed source. The open source variant (and maybe the closed source one?) are affected here.

If you want to check which one you're using, try `vulkaninfo | grep driverName`. If it says `radv`, you're good.

Better even use a long password 15 characters or more

There's also Yggdrasil [0], an ipv6 based completely decentralised network. You can join the public network or restrict access to known keys for a private network.

It's funny how most diagrams describing DNS or TCP look like they were made in the 2000s (and probably were)

Maybe Authentik can do what you need? It supports all the various protocols as provider and consumer.

Outlook sometimes likes to swallow normal attachments when forwarding/replying or some combination. I've never experienced issues with inline images though.

I've had a single monitor for a long time, but I've recently come around to dual monitors. It just makes working with additional information on the second screen so much easier. Indo spend more time shuffling windows around now though

People should start using a good editor.
