this surprised me as well, the more you know the respect for his influence diminishes, really sad.

awesome work and write up! hella impressive!

wow, didn't know about this, i developed some drivers and had this test mode enabled to debug some aspects of it, but now it is almost unusable with this on screen.

or an ad blocker, here i had to disable to load the cookies consent window. On Firefox worked better for me here, Chrome had some lag.

:D, and i think they would add some optout telemetry flags too to make this even funnier

so sad, hope the family get some kind of closure (never will be enough with an lost life)

on postgres I can update a field easily and atomically with transactions (or there is something I don't know about?), like (postgresql 14)[0]:

   UPDATE users SET profile = profile || '{"lastname":"Washington"}' WHERE profile->>'name' = 'George Washington';

so nice memories, and the same occurred to me, but was writing macros and hotkeys for Ragnarok Online (in Pascal/Delphi and VB/6)

got here to comment on that, hella impressive and looks so simple and clean.

whoa, didn't know PonyORM, looks really neat! thanks for showing

wow, impressive! this game bring so many good memories.

I switched to Void Linux, have been great so far.

i have the same sentiment, and for me systemd was getting so slow and hard to tshoot (the tools to analyze boot graphs and sequence showed service sequence breakage, some times there is no problem, sometimes sequence changed and problem happened) and i just changed for another distro without systemd and boom, startup in seconds no problem at all.

lol, so true, and that both are really good malware attack vectors (chrome/vscode extensions, etc.)

the creator even acknowledged the risk in the sample... but i do not understand why not create a more secure sample first time? since people will absolutely copy to test.

totally agree and i have this same feeling. An the fact they provide this "updates" and doubling down the same points is unnerving.

ohh, nice! thanks for the info Bruno!

yeah, docker and permissions always a pain. you tried passing --user or through compose? [1]:

  my-service:
    image: ubuntu:latest
    user: ${MY_UID}:${MY_GID}
    volumes:
      - /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro
      - /etc/group:/etc/group:ro

hope this helps/solves

whoa, didn't know this project, looks really incredible, will add to my others search engines and give a try, thanks for the devs/creators and hope for success to you all!

yeah, github has a nice search now, the only complaint is that you need to be logged on to use, besides this is really nice.

This really looks nice! Congrats!

same thing with the Edge browser for me, i have to remove on every update (he has so much telemetry that is a burden, same with other parts of the SO). This is a testament on the philosophy change between all those years, i used so much win95/98/xp that i loved, the times were so simple...

Like anothers comments said, mpv has some awesome native hw decoding and you can play frame by frame, previous and next, vlc you can only do next [1] (awesome thread btw). :) And mpc/mpc-hc is discontinued [2].

mpv tries to be pretty minimalist (and does this well), you could try a frontend (Celluloid, Haruna, etc.). And for the commandline, when you install the mpv package, depending on the distro, the package creates a default shortcut/desktop file, so you can open videos on your WM without hitches, on the menu bar. You can associate the shortcut to mime/file types and set as default player too. You can create yourself a desktop file too if necessary on your profile (eg: $HOME/.local/share/applications/mpv.desktop) with this file/content [1]

did you use the in browser or another external task manager? most pages without videos or some kind of gpu process uses 20~30 MB here (like hacker news for example).

suspect, but susceptible on this case

yeah, this was expected when they nerfed uBlock (and various other extensions) with the manifest v3. Using another alternatives is the way now for me too, like other comments, using Firefox.

nice article, thanks for this. It's great to know that linux increased usability in another areas beyond software development.

neat tool, congrats on the release and thank you for this and the analysis/comparison.
