Darktable is one of the foss apps that actually is almost as good as the Adobe app. In many ways I like it better. https://www.darktable.org/

I haven't used the ai denoiser but the noise reduction in Darktable seems decent to me, has lot's of options. I am pretty new to raw image manipulation so maybe I'm missing something I don't know about but it seems fine?

I have to use SQL at work enough that I just use that for any database I need for personal projects, almost always MariahDB. Helps me stay current on my skills I guess.

Hype.

Oh man, what did mage and Glenda get into now?!
Did they figure out the correct tar flags to compress themselves?

I am also an IT nerd that hikes as much as I can, when the weather permits. Too many of my local trails have decent reception so I have to just forget my phone exists for a while.

I actually did this in my early 20s.
Girlfriend at the time got super drunk super fast so I had to stay sober to drive us home.

They didn't have a sign posted, so I figured I was safe.

Yeah, this was before Uber existed and the town I lived in at the time had very sketchy and unreliable taxis, non-existent public transit.

I think that's Glenda. Gotta nice hat there.
When can we expect a pmjv art piece to show up on the 9front website ;)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/swap#Swap_file

I call them swap files but either is correct.

A swap partition is a part of your storage disk that is formatted for swap use. It could also be it's own disk for high performance systems, but mostly for HPC.

A swap file is basically an empty disk image file that you mount as swap, the OS will use it just like a swap partition.

I prefer swap files because I find them easier to manage. I can easily delete, move, or enlarge the swap file whereas the partition will take a bit more work and is a bit riskier to change. Changing partition layouts can get very messy.

I always recommend a swap file be created when setting up a new Linux machine, even if you have loads of RAM. Some applications will use swap space to help performance, but I also like the fact that if I do something really dumb and fill up the root partition I can delete my swap file to free up space immediately, fix the full disk problem, and then recreate the swap file.

I've never noticed an appreciable performance hit, but I also don't generally swap much. Most of the time on a desktop/workstation I'm surprised to see a gig or 2 in swap. Nvme drives are pretty fast.
If you are actually using swap space on a regular basis it might be worth it to upgrade RAM or use a dedicated drive for swap if necessary.
I remember btrfs having swap file issues but the details are fuzzy, these days I use zfs on my nas and ext4 everywhere else.

This is also how I read the meme.
Codes are fine, tokens are fine.
Your proprietary spyware app is NOT fine (Microsoft) and I hope you get fucked.

But on Ubuntu I don't have to use the terminal to update my apps?

I'm in this comic and I'm not sure if I should be offended or not.

As you should. The obviously don't have any loyalty to their customers, don't give them any back.

It does look kinda sketchy for a full 3.0+ data cable.
Could be one of those stupid charging only cables.

Hi. It's me. The guy bitching about best practices every other meeting. Sorry, but some of my past and present coworkers are clowns.

Obviously Glenda. You can tell by the lack of hat.

jodanlime , 3 months ago

Oh yeah robes are totally not hats, so it's fine.

I'll second this, stupid good battery life but a fairly simple watch.
Doesn't do apps but it does health tracking and notifications and it's pretty good at looking like a watch instead of a toy.

Scribus has been around for a while, their UI looks like older versions of Microsoft Office. If you hover over the icon it will tell you what it does.

Maybe I'm older than you but scribus feels like comfort food, it isn't loud and flashy and lets me focus on my work. I really don't like the gigantic touch friendly buttons on desktop apps personally, so I hope they don't go that way.

I cannot see any settings to change the toolbar size but I'm not a scribus wizard either.

I have 20 years of Linux experience.
I tell people 'I know a few things.'

Would never say I know everything or understand everything though.

Just like an xkcd comic I expect to see someone reply that has 30 years experience or something.
