"(1) poor availability of Quake-style dropdown terminals on macOS and Windows"

This is a feature available in both iTerm [1] as well as Windows Terminal [2].

Great Scott!

Don't do this. Disabling swap is bad idea: https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html

Here's the link to the GitHub repo: https://github.com/netenglabs/suzieq

He's collated them all in a post on Medium here: https://medium.learningbyshipping.com/the-app-store-debate-a...

Not sure why you're being downvoted - my experience mirrors yours. I've just swapped from a 2018 MBP with the last (final?) iteration of the butterfly mechanism to a 2020 13" MBP with the new keyboard and in all honesty I preferred the butterfly.

Yup, this. Funny how quickly everyone forgets the serious data loss bugged that plagued the release of Snow Leopard.

For anyone looking for more information and benchmarks on the performance improvements in recent versions of Ceph (and with Bluestore in particular), here's a write-up that was done as part of testing for infrastructure to support the Human Brain Project: https://www.stackhpc.com/ceph-on-the-brain-a-year-with-the-h...

Yup, adding to this: For about four years we ran a similar size Ceph cluster that supported a burgeoning public cloud platform with users making extensive use of block and object. We did this on a range of hardware from creaky second-hand SuperMicro boxes to newer all-flash Quanta-based hardware.

Through questionable hardware selection as well as standard operational challenges such as upgrades and scaling, Ceph never let us down.

The only time we had a major problem turned out to be our fault. The creaky machines we were using at the start 'lost' half of their memory during a round of power failure testing. We didn't have monitoring in place to spot this, and unfortunately it manifest after we lost a node which triggered a significant rebalancing operation across the cluster. With several machines missing 50% of their RAM, this quickly descended into a horrendous disk thrashing exercise. Again, all credit due to Ceph - we were able to coax the cluster back into life with no data loss.

There was the data-loss bug that plagued the Snow Leopard release.

In colo (a former nuclear bunker, no less!) I have a small OpenStack 'cloud' deployment cobbled together from spare hardware, pieced together in partnership with a friend of mine. I wrote a bit about it here if anyone's interested:

At home I have:

  A Synology DS412+ with 4 x 4TB drives
  An ancient HP Microserver N36L with 16GB RAM and 4 x 4TB drives running FreeBSD
  Ubiqiuti UniFi SG + CloudKey + AP
  An OG Pi running PiHole

The DS412+ is my main network storage device, with various things backed up to the Microserver. Aside from the OEM services it also runs Minio (I use this for local backups from Arq), nzbget, and Syncthing in Docker containers.

The fzf.vim[0] plugin offers similar capability in vim to give you this: https://asciinema.org/a/171913

Same. I feel like I'm in a minority, but I much prefer the feel of the 'new' butterfly switches. I've had two MBPs so far with this mechanism - one 2016 and now a late 2018 and I've not had any reliability issues.

> Apple music only works on iOS and MacOS.

False: https://musi.sh

A couple of reasons. The integration with my existing iTunes Library is fantastic, and also there have been enough albums / bands only on Apple Music (for whatever reason) for me to want to stick with it.

This is great, thanks! As someone who previously listened to Apple Music on Linux via the Windows edition of iTunes running using Wine in a Docker container (lol), a proper alternative is massively appreciated.

Bogons[0] are involved in a great project to do something about this - check out Balquhidder Community Broadband[1]. Bogons' Twitter[2] also has some fantastic updates about their work to lay fibre and provide connectivity to a few of these remote Scottish areas.

It’s basically a quote from ‘The Empire Strikes Back’.

Just to add another datapoint: It works fine using my 27” Acer B276HUL that’s configured using a hacked EDID file. If it works with this third-party setup, it’s probably safe to say it’ll work with any.

FWIW you can also use Keyboard Maestro to solve this problem.
