httpsterio··on Measuring Input Latency on Linux: X11 vs. Wayland, VRR, and DXVK
Can't say that I agree. I play rhythm games on a national level and benchmarking and reducing input latency is very important in those games.

The games I play (ITGmania) measure accuracy to the tenth of a millisecond, any fluctuation in your hardware latency can ruin your scores and nothing really is more annoying than an inconsistent setup where the latency change between or during a session is absolute hell.

Vibes and latency don't belong in the same sentence at all imo.

httpsterio··on DaVinci Resolve 21
This has not been my experience. I have frequent crashes with Fusion that seem to be related to specific nodes. Checking my computers usage it doesn't seem like I'm running out of juice either.

When it works, it's really nice and I'm sold on the node based workflows, but it's not all entirely roses.

Resolve itself is excellent, Fairlight works just Ok and is still heaps better than Audition ever was. But Fusion I feel like hasn't seen enough love in the past few years.

The whole Reactor setup for installing Fuses feels really broken and for the free users they disabled those entirely in version 19.1.

httpsterio··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
The 940mx on this laptop doesn't support hardware video encoding, so I'm basically forced to run everything on CPU. I do also stream so it's definitely a nice to have.

I could run the game on the GPU and leave more CPU for the desktop and encoder, maybe I'd be able to record and play on Wayland that way, but there's some additional drawing latency if I run the game on the GPU, the frame buffer gets sent back to the CPU before it's drawn on the display anyways.

As it's rhythm games I mainly play (ITGmania, Stepmania fork), the additional latency for getting the picture out on the display it's not really working out great for me.

httpsterio··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
yep and I've also tried disabling the compositior in KDE, which marginally helps but not enough.
httpsterio··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
my experience us sadly the opposite. when I'm recording gameplay with OBS with x11 and xfce I have roughly a 7-9ms frame render time and with Wayland and any desktop env it creeps up above 16ms, which means I can't get a solid 60fps.

in all other cases other than gaming and recording, Wayland has been a delight.

httpsterio··on Didgeridoo playing as alternative treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (2006)
this is incorrect lol. the water is just to help with humidity, to prevent a dry mouth and sinuses. all resumed cpap machines for example can be used without the water tank as long as you have the backplate.

the water in the tank is heated to increase the humidity of the air circulating.

cpap machines work by increasing the air pressure on breath-ins and help open your airways by keeping your genioglossus tensor veli palatini muscles engaged.

httpsterio··on Sauna effect on heart rate
The one event where we say and drank, it was about 90 deg celcius and lots of water on the stove (löyly).
httpsterio··on Incident with multple GitHub services
Yeah true. I have an old Asus X550L from 2014, a very budget / mid basic home laptop with the battery removed running as my server. I do some dev on it with VSCode remoting into it and Claude Code, run Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, Teamspeak, IRC and TS bots, nginx, SyncThing and some static websites.

I'm still usually under 10% cpu usage and at 25% ram usage unless I'm streaming and transcoding with Jellyfin.

It's been fun and super useful. Almost any old laptop from the past 15 years could run and solve several home computing needs with little difficulty.

httpsterio··on The Ferrari of Espresso Machines Is Fueling a Hot Resale Market
You're not wrong, bad beans are bad beans. But on the other hand, no matter how fancy single origin perfectly roasted beans you have, a crappy barista will most likely pull a terrible shot.

Beans can't compensate for the lack of skill.

httpsterio··on Used La Marzocco machines are coveted by cafe owners and collectors
That can't really be called a shot anymore tho, you're not even in a lungo territory if you're pulling a 200ml shot.

Or do you mean an Americano? Are you adding water afterwards?

httpsterio··on Sauna effect on heart rate
Huh what? I can easily sit in a sauna for an hour without breaks as long as it has some type of ventilation.

Smoke saunas a bit less, electric or wood stove saunas no issue. It's nice to take a breather once in a while but I'd honestly have no issues sitting in a 80-90 deg sauna for an hour as long as I have enough to drink with me.

One time I sat in the sauna for six hours with a few breaks between with a group of friends shooting the shit. I had a headache the next morning but I blame it on the Jallu and not the sauna.

httpsterio··on Show HN: A WYSIWYG word processor in Python
Markdown without formatting isn't usually the nicest to read imo. I actually appreciate a well laid out and formatted document myself.

Also wysiwyg doesn't mean it can't be back and forwards compatible with markdown, it might just mean that it's a markdown editor gui with a preview.

httpsterio··on BunnyCDN has been silently losing our production files for 15 months
Not a great way to handle the issue originally, but I think the CEO's response is more than fair.

I haven't had to contact Bunny's support so it's a bit disappointing to see this type of runaround from the support, but as an actual issue it seems pretty minor in the end.

I've been using Bunny for ~four years after looking at video hosting. In the four years we've saved approximately 50 000€ compared to if we'd gone with Cloudflare video streaming service and it's just been rock solid for us.

httpsterio··on FFmpeg 8.1 "Hoare" has been released
Ffmpeg continues to be the most impressive open source project in my opinion.

It's such a joy to use and I've had a dozen of weird use cases where it's been the perfect solution.

httpsterio··on Segagaga Has Been Translated into English
Lol what? You got it the other way around. Also out of the dozen or so friends in my friend group who had a PS2, none of us had a modded PS2 or pirated games.

The PS2 was popular on its own and it wasn't related to piracy.

httpsterio··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
SwiftKey also crashes daily. There's no good keyboard for iphones, at least for my stubby fingers. I've literally won local mobile typing speed contests (so it's not user error I dare say) and the last five-ish years that I've been on ios have been a total and utter misery. If I had some cash floating around I would be back on android.
httpsterio··on Finland looks to introduce Australia-style ban on social media
I wouldn't call it censorship. We don't allow kids to drink or smoke either, is that censorship? Gate keeping media thats possibly harmful for developing brains, when the users are possibly unable to make an informed decision for themselves, isn't inherently bad.
httpsterio··on I switched from VSCode to Zed
I'm guessing the user you're replying to is meaning that the vscode default config file is 11k lines and the AI setting just one of many lines in the file.

I don't think they meant that their own settings are that long, just the default in the app and they're commenting that it's ridiculous to expect a person to find it there.

I think you're confusing js with node. node typically doesn't run on the frontend, but can be used when developing the front but it won't be running on the users browser.
