This isn't funny, think of all the poor HOA board members that get eaten by bats every night

Sonotsugipaa ,

A recompilation or repackaging of Linux 6.6.6 is still Linux 6.6.6

Sonotsugipaa ,

I'm not sure about specific packages, but in general a packager may not want to increase the upstream version even if they can do it themselves - for example, they may have made some mistake in the packaging process.

Everybody gangsta until the fabric of reality is computer science

I'm sure that if you set a barely documented registry key to a specific DWORD, you can disable it.

Removing it completely, though...

Sonotsugipaa ,

And the registry key/value pair to disable it will be changed slightly

Sonotsugipaa ,

That's exactely what happened in my mind when I was getting started with Linux (kind of), although it's arguably a habit that comes from using Windows where people don't really think about OS users and permissions

Sonotsugipaa ,

Gotta recycle this:

Jokes on them, the Covenant have broken long ago

Sonotsugipaa ,

I'm very confused by this thread.

Progress bars are handled by the applications themselves, whether flushing happens or not;

immediate flushing does not increase storage lifespan, in fact letting the OS decide when to do it may allow wear-leveling to work better.

(Though, IMO immediate flushing should be the default for removable media on user-friendly distributions, like swap partitions are)

The one for appending files to the standard output, or the one for murdering unresponsive children?

They probably downvoted because sometimes your job or education strictly requires Linux-incompatible software, and you can't do anything about it;

but then again, 9 out of 10 of those people spare absolutely no effort to move their eggs out of the metaphorical Windows basket.

Sonotsugipaa ,

Some do, unfortunately getting mad about them is sometimes all they can do in some cases (e.g. the OP)

Sonotsugipaa ,

Or that Europe-America Internet traffic goes through a transoceanic link

Sonotsugipaa OP ,

Disabling swap does not prevent disk I/O from becoming a problem under memory contention, it simply shifts the disk I/O thrashing from anonymous pages to file pages

While the rest of that post matches my understanding of swap (I still think 1GB is next to useless in this case), that summarized point perplexes me.

What non-special file(s) does the kernel write to and read from, and how does it know how much space to use?

Sonotsugipaa ,

I would rather say that Christianity is open source, but it's distributed with the MIT license and every relevant implementation is closed source and plants DRM software all over the system

    Nah, go public and commit to a restless chase that gets exponentially demanding and caters to a bunch of disinterested bottom-feeders rather than improving services and products for the customers

    Starting a space weed business with the funds I received by committing state-sanctioned genocide, and starting the chain of events that culminates with the destruction of a very big halo (no, not that one)

    Apparently you can use electricity to power a rocket , they do require expensive fuel like xenon but they're roughly ten times as efficient as chemical thrusters and they do propel ions

    To Your Eternity, probably not everyone's cup of tea but I've seen very few anime like it

    Tbf the US don't have the best drivers, since driving licenses are so easy to obtain as far as I've heard

    Sonotsugipaa ,

    Firefox containers are basically just named cookie sets: they don't have per-container settings, they just let you create containerized tabs that don't share cookies between each other (maybe local and session storage too, idk).

    They're useful if you want to make it a bit harder for websites to track you around, or for selectively keeping you logged into a website (alt account usage comes to mind), but your use case seems to be centered around actual profiles.

    Sonotsugipaa ,

    If you're frequently creating new containers I suggest the Temporary Containers extension, it saves you having to manually clear everything when you're done with a specific session and want to start another

    What fucking book?

    Sonotsugipaa ,

    Chris Chan?

    Sonotsugipaa OP ,

    Addendum: I reinstalled the GTK portal because I was desperate, now I can't even use that UX abomination because who the

    █▀▀ █░█ █▀▀ █▄▀
█▀░ █▄█ █▄▄ █░█

    knows

    (As it turns out, the cause was a previous attempt to get xdg-desktop-portal-termfilechooser to work - I'm just going to sneak this edit in here and go die in a corner or something)

    Sonotsugipaa OP ,

    I cannot even determine the culprit, to whom am I supposed to file a bug report?

    Sonotsugipaa OP ,

    I don't know if Firefox is at fault. It could be Firedragon (the fork I'm using), it could be any of the desktop portals messing things up (looking at you, xdg-desktop-portal-gtk), it could be Arch Linux due to how packagers package each portal, it could be that I stepped on a landmine by switching from Sway to Hyprland - this is when the problem first occurred.

    Firedragon's (and the Firefox flatpak's) output doesn't say anything, nothing stands out in their logs, same goes for both Sway and Hyprland - for all I know XDG portals don't even have standalone logs, they just dump error messages to stdout in my experience (which, again, have not been dumped).

    I could send bug reports to everyone, and get told "this isn't our problem, write a bug report to ${OTHER_SOFTWARE}". But then, which logs do I provide? All of them? Sure, I can gather up logs and non-existent messages from several pieces of software, one of them being a glorified API.

    It would have taken me a good hour to find the relevant data, find the correct places to write reports to, word things in a quasi-professional manner, all for a small chance for any of the developers of something to answer something that is not a variation of "can't help you bro, your logs are anorexic".

    So, after reminiscing the days of writing Windows registry keys and seeing no results (by writing XDP hints all over the system AND rebooting), I took 10 minutes to vent and make a meme - NoScript was intefering with imgflip, otherwise I would have needed 3.

    I could not, in fact, definitely have raised a bug report in the time it took me to make this.

    Sonotsugipaa OP ,

    Odd, that's exactely what my friends tell me when I'm playing BG3 and a bug causes me to get stuck in dialogue (in a Windows 10 VM)

    Sonotsugipaa OP ,

    Because I'm not installing that thing on bare metal
