For reference, in the US, Comcast only gives up to a /60 for residential connections. It’s still fine for most use cases, but it does feel a bit like doing a bit of penny pinching when you’re wondering if you have enough /64’s for how your network is going to be set up.
A manufacturer’s Android can have special privileges for their own apps, and almost will certainly have special privileges for Google’s apps.
Graphene by default wouldn’t give special privileges to any app, so that’s at least a plus.
It’s true that it would be locked down, but you at least have a couple more controls over how locked down compared to a manufacturer’s OS.
That’s odd, I’m on Android 14 and have andOTP installed.
BTRFS is stable for all RAID levels except for RAID 5 and 6 (because of the write hole). I’m using it with RAID 10.
To add to what the other person said, there are some Windows-only games even today that run better on Linux than on Windows (I don’t have examples off the top of my head.)
It depends on the place. There’s a grocery store I go to (in Seattle, WA) that has a $100 limit for mobile payments.
You mean the Linux kernel specifically? I think most people do regard it as a monolithic kernel, even if there are modules you can load and unload.
It’s a set of smaller tools that are developed in the same repository and all released together, all sharing some amount of code.
That basically makes it monolithic, even if there’s separate binaries that the user calls.
With the backpack I have, I do lose a good part of my leg space from having my backpack underneath the seat in front of me. That’s why I sometimes pull my backpack out and then set it down in front of me, but not underneath the seat in front of me; this lets me stretch/move my legs more than before.
$1/day? At 100W average power usage, that’s 2.4kWh per day, suggesting that where you live, the price is 41.67 cents per kWh, roughly double that of California.
Is electricity that expensive where you live?
Edit: it’s been a while since I lived in the Bay area, I hadn’t realized that the electricity price now ranges from 38-62 cents per kWh, depending on rate plan and time.
I think podman by default does do that, but it’s easy to disable almost all of it, at least.
Discord has also been using ancient electron versions for a long while now (I don’t know if they’ve since updated to versions that haven’t been EoL’ed).
On Linux, I literally have a better experience using discord in my browser than the electron version.
Edit: looks like discord updated to Electron 22 in March 2023, with the update to Electron 23 happening maybe at the end of the year or early next year, according to this reddit post. So they’re getting better, but still a bit behind.
Second this. If you don’t need to go into the UEFI or do a full hardware reboot, and you’re running Linux, kexec will be much better for you.
TB docks are very well supported. Depending on the DE you use, you’ll need to “authorize”/allow the dock for it to get used.
Can confirm that btrfs on nvme with sleep/suspend has been working fine for me on my Framework laptop (haven’t tested hibernate, though).
Are you using Wayland? If so, you need to launch Steam as steam -pipewire, and then select your display. Note that your screensaver will be inhibited while Steam is open with this option.
That being said, I would recommend going for a Sunshine/Moonlight setup if you can rather than using Steam remote play. I get much better performance with Sunshine and Moonlight.
Edit: I just read that steam games work fine for you. In that case, I’m not entirely sure why non-Steam games don’t work.
Yeah, fortunately, for my own use cases, /60 is enough, but I can’t think of a good reason for Comcast to not give out /56 since they’re pretty cheap compared to IPv4.
