Didn’t look at the article but ya if you want to leverage SEDs then LUKS is the way to go.

JXL is based.

That someone was correct.

Right now I’m solving this by having two separate ingress controllers in one cluster - one for private stuff only available over a vpn, and one only available over public ips.

How’s this working out? What kinda alternatives are there with a single cluster?

They actually got better? Nice work

When installing an encrypted Arch system, I couldn’t figure out how to change the keymap in GRUB stage 1, which asks for the passphrase and then decrypts /boot. I just entered my passphrase with the default en-us keymap without really knowing what characters it outputs.

Is your system then actually low on memory then? This doesn’t seem to work for me, but then again even javascript sites aren’t going to eat 32gigs just like that.

One theory that I tested, was that whether it was a scheduled BTRFS scrub in the background (basically reading all the data and checking for errors), but it doesn’t seem to have an effect when manually started.

Another observation now that it’s running fine: At the time my fans never revved up to speed like they do now. Just stayed mostly silent. It really felt like it was accidentally using an integrated GPU, which I don’t have…

Stupid as it sounds, this seems to be the case. It works great now (+ extra smooth because of all the settings lowering :D ). I even rebooted yesterday to no avail. Today I haven’t done anything special with the machine.

How often has this happened to you?

Ohh yeah I have a mouse like that. The reason being just that I don’t want to deal with mouse control software ^^

I’ll try to fiddle around a bit.

Thanks for the hint, though I didn’t manage to find a magic setting yet at least.

Also, did vulkan shaders run and complete? Mine don’t on Enshrouded, get stuck at 99%. I know that can have a performance impact.

I should think so. The dialogue doesn’t seem to appear anymore but on the first launch of today it did, and I don’t remember anything special about it.

Mildly interesting observation: Having the game open in the background made browser scrolling very sluggish.

And other smaller things tend to misbehave as well. For this reason I always upgrade right before shutting down my machnine anyway.

An unintended side-effect of this is that I tend to postpone upgrades because I’m just about to leave somewhere and wouldn’t have to deal with any manual interventions.

You always have to be prepared for that. This is Arch.

The only use case for Appimages
If users want to carry applications around on a thumbdrive, or run on a fully immutable system like TAILS, Appimages may be needed. But this is the only target, and it is not a standard use case.

I guess I agree. This is precisely the case where I have ever used them. Namely to have a portable executable of my password manager on a stick together with a backup of the password database.

I had no idea they were being used elsewhere.

Think of it as a Linux vs. Window$ election

Would you mind elaborating? Honestly interested

Robot vacuums. Some of them you can root and install the opensource Valetudo.

This reminds me of QT’s signal/slot system. I.e. instead of calling functions directly, you just emit a signal and then any number of functions may have the receiving slot enabled.

Lot’s of similar systems in other frameworks too I’m sure.

If markdown fulfills your formatting needs, then there’s no beating it in terms of focus and simplicity. Use whatever text editor you like. My recommendation would be Kate. It supports previewing the rendered document in side by side view.

I’m a shell user too, but as a programming language I would rate Bash utter garbage. Fine for little piping but for longer scripts I will be reaching for Haskell.
