post-factum··on An EEVDF CPU Scheduler for Linux
Setting the nice level is not enough. Instead, `SCHED_IDLE` policy should be applied to the workload that is being run in the background.

[1] may help if you run such a workload from CLI.

post-factum··on Mozilla removes Bypass Paywalls Clean extension from its add-ons repository
How does this compare to https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome ?

post-factum··on Mozilla to explore healthy social media alternative
For sure you can, and also you really should if you are able to. If you are going to use the server by yourself only, you may also consider going with something easier on resources like GoToSocial instead of the fully-fledged Mastodon server.

I'm building a crash-like environment on top of drgn: https://codeberg.org/pf-kernel/crush
post-factum··on Seer – a GUI front end to GDB for Linux
This is why I like HN. You open a discussion, you see other related projects that may be of your interest. Isn't it neat?
post-factum··on Training my sense of CO2 ppm
Well, so far I haven't heard any beeps.
post-factum··on Training my sense of CO2 ppm
It does allow reading data via USB.
post-factum··on Training my sense of CO2 ppm
I've bought [1] and coupled it with Zabbix using [2].

Now I have a pretty realtime graph and a strong reasoning to air my room more often.

post-factum··on Show HN: Porting OpenBSD Pledge() to Linux

post-factum··on AV1 Video Codec
Except those based on Navi 24 (6400/6500) IIRC.
post-factum··on AV1 Video Codec
We should rather compare AV1 to VVC aka H.266.
post-factum··on AV1 Video Codec
svt-av1 is pretty fast. Well, depending on crf/preset etc of course, but in general, the more cores you have, the easier it is to get realtime encoding with decent quality. You may want to try ab-av1 first, and then go and play with ffmpeg manually if the result does not satisfy your needs.

For other encoders that do not do parallel encoding that well there are things like av1an.

post-factum··on Ask HN: Modern Alternatives to C
What about Zig?

Is it possible to convert a repo in place?
post-factum··on Show HN: "q", a DNS query tool with support for UDP, TCP, DoT, DoH, DoQ and ODoH
This was my question: what's the benefit of using `q` over `doggo`? Both are in Go, both seem to give nice colourful results. I'd appreciate having some comparison.
post-factum··on Show HN: "q", a DNS query tool with support for UDP, TCP, DoT, DoH, DoQ and ODoH
Nice, given `dog` seems to be stalled.

Why `q` over `doggo` btw?

Bought from here: [1]

Works with no hassle as AP under stock Linux kernel.

Indeed, some CDNs like Akamai do not bother distinguishing relays from exit nodes and just ban everything.
