xz comes standard with every Linux distribution, and it implements the same 7zip compression algorithm but with more options.

Written in hand-optimized assembly with individual implementation for every CPU on the planet, with integer division function in 10000 lines of code impelented with XOR and bit-shifting which is somehow 0.3% faster than CPU built-in division operation.

I’ve recently used Codeberg. It’s online about two hours per day.

Magic circles are all started in 13th century with Kabbalah, and then every kind of text on demon summoning featured esoteric letters arranged into a circle. What’s interesting is that the historical alchemy did not use magic circles, but invented a crap-ton of new symbols, subsequentlly adopted in texts on demon summoning.

Surprisingly, DnD does not mention magic circles at all, and in the old fantasy literature (Tolkien, Zelazny, Le Guin etc) the magic is more like voice commands to your Google Assistant, or instinctive abilities like breathing fire - no circles are necessary.

And I guess anime draws magic circles because they look good on screen. Overlord even stacks several circles for an impactful magical sphere.

You can append

2>&1 | logger -t my-cronjob

to any command, and it will write logs to system journal which you can view withjournalctl

Just poweroff is fine. Why lose extra 2.5 seconds typing two words when one word will suffice?

Most of the proprietary VPN clients are a fork of OpenVPN or Wireguard client with rebranding and a payment button.

You can write true instead of : and it will look better, true is an actual command.

In a sane and healthy software company, they would contribute their changes back to BSD just because it makes easier to apply latest BSD changes amd security fixes.

Most companies wont. They fork, modify the BSD code for their specific hardware, sell it, and never ever update thier software.

256 GB SD card already costs like a new phone.

Open-source VPN clients do not implement the most important feature - a monthly reminder to pay your bill. Well, and dumbing down the technical UI to one big green button, so even dumbest users would not have trouble with it.

TreeView is designed as an afterthought. Some manager at MICROS~1 was like ‘ah yes we need an expanding nested list widget by tomorrow’ and they mutilated text edit box to draw text lines that expand when you click them. It does not have keyboad focus. It can only be operated with a mouse. It does not have shadow or raised widget borders. It has black text on white background, while every other widget has Windows Gray background.

The proper UI would be a separate button for each label, like multiple hierarchical combo boxes.

How’d you suppose Europe would open-source one very very commercial software? It’s practically like asking McDonalds to pay you for eating their burgers.

Jinshi has seen better days. Maomao bleached her hair, and Maomao the cat has turned into a goat.

When you open a serverless website in your browser, it becomes a regular app.

AI companies gonna crash, and then memory manufacturers will be left with 50% oversupply no one wants to buy. So they don’t build new factories yet.

No, no, long answer is fine, it’s linuxmemes community.

I didn’t think it was possible to invent a worse format than .gif for moving pictures.

Congratulations!

Are you using that huge-ass TV next to the laptop as your second display?
