keep it on cache since I do a lot of code compilation, but I will usually switch it to frequency for gaming and stuff.
Isn’t gaming the most cache-heavy CPU workload there is? The X3D CPUs have consistently topped gaming benchmarks, even outperforming much more modern CPUs that lack 3D cache.
I’d sooner do it the other way around: frequency for compiling, rendering, transcoding, etc. Cache for gaming!
The problem with non-PLP drives is that Rook-Ceph will insist that its writes get done in a way that is safe wrt power loss.
For regular consumer drives, that means it has to wait for the cache to be flushed, which takes aaaages (milliseconds!!) and that can cause all kinds of issues. PLP drives have a cache that is safe in the event of power loss, and thus Rook-Ceph is happy to write to cache and consider the operation done.
Again, 1Gb network is not a big deal, not using PLP drives could cause issues.
If you don’t need volsync and don’t need ReadWriteMany, just use Longhorn with its builtin backup system and call it a day.
I tried Longhorn, and ended up concluding that it would not work reliably with Volsync. Volsync (for automatic volume restore on cluster rebuild) is a must for me.
I plan on installing Rook-Ceph. I’m also on 1Gb/s network, so it won’t be fast, but many fellow K8s home opsers are confident it will work.
Rook-ceph does need SSDs with Power Loss Protection (PLP), or it will get extremelly slow (latency). Bandwidth is not as much of an issue. Find some used Samsung PM or SM models, they aren’t expensive.
Longhorn isn’t fussy about consumer SSDs and has its own built-in backup system. It’s not good at ReadWriteMany volumes, but it sounds like you won’t need ReadWriteMany. I suggest you don’t bother with Rook-Ceph yet, as it’s very complex.
Also, join the Home Operations community if you have a Discord account, it’s full of k8s homelabbers.
I don’t have experience with any of the models you’re considering. I used a Corsair for years (don’t!) and am currently quite happy with an old Filco Majestouch 2 TKL that I added some white and pink keycaps to.
The Filco was bought used, is built like a tank and only cost about €80.
The one thing I miss in it is QMK/VIA support.
As I understand it, a keyboard with QMK or another firmware with VIA support essentially allows you to program your keyboard however you want. And then bring that programming (“layout”) with you to another board.
My Filco has 4 dip switches on the back that allow very limited programming: for example, switching Esc and `, or switching Caps Lock and Ctrl.
But I can’t make it such that Caps Lock works as Caps Lock when long-pressed alone, but as Ctrl when struck in a chord with another key. QMK/VIA would make this possible.
Even if you don’t want to do this now, having the option to play with combination keys and smart layouts like that is very interesting when you want to downsize from TKL to a smaller board.
Also, consider the used market.
I should try Gaterons sometime. I’ve only ever used Cherry MX Brown. Happily using those atm with my second mech keyb, a Filco TKL. First was a Corsair full-size, also Cherry Brown.
And I’ve tried linear in a shop once, but I hate those. Feels empty to me, like there’s no switch and only makes me push into the frame harder.
For my next keyboard, I’d like something programmable (Caps Lock as Ctrl, hjkl with Fn as arrows, etc) and smaller, no need for F-keys and separate arrow keys.
The article says it can debug TUIs, similar to what the browser’s debug panel does for web apps. That is useful for TUI developers.
Other than that, I don’t know either what Kitty is missing.
Finally, the end of “it doesn’t work on Wayland” is in sight. Just in time for Windows 10 EoL too
And did you know …
Hyprland is modern, flexible and widely used. I’m glad you can get it to work the way you want it to, it’s probably a better experience than using a more niche window manager built for your usecase.
In my experience, every window manager will give you
little things I will need to fix / figure out.
That’s why, even though I love tiling window managers, I ended up reverting from sway to a full Desktop Environment for my work laptop.
Give it a try and see how far you get. If I were to give WMs a try again, I would go with Hyprland for sure.
Yep, first-class Linux support, representative samples provided to reviewers, balanced hardware at reasonable prices. Not every for-profit GPU company does this.
I’ll add DCS World modders, thank you to the heroes who brave Lua and the DCS API to bring us obscure planes and helicopters!
Nah
EDIT: After reading, I stand corrected. Lua is better than Python and JS for many usecases, mainly due to size and portability.
Their versioning is weird though.
Oh my god, it exists. An Enter key large enough to please both ANSI and ISO fans.
With these kinds of things, where you need to manage state (waiting, executing, failed, etc), it is very easy to miss a case or transition and generally better to rely on proven tech.
Let the waiting for network connection and retrying be done by systemd, half the internet runs on it. You can trust that it won’t mess that part up. Write only what is specific to you in your script.
I’ve heard of SwayFX, but it’s pretty niche and I doubt it comes close to the featureset of Hyprland
That’s crazy and genius!

The way I understand it, there’s 2 use cases for a VPN, with different concerns and providers:
Is Tailscale fit for the second? I thought not, as the exit node is not an anonymized VPN server but one of your own machines.

It really is super simple
OG Crysis!
It’s a pretty great Deck game, and I’d never seen it run as consistently as it does on Deck at 40fps limit.
