- Comment on Data HDD with SSD catch drive 2 months ago:
In my very limited experience with my 5400rpm SMR WD disk, it’s perfectly capable of writing at over 100 MB/s until its cache runs out, then it pretty much dies until it has time to properly write the data, rinse and repeat.
40 MB/s sustained is weird (but maybe it’s just a different firmware? I think my disk was able to actually sustain 60 MB/s for a few hours when I limited the write speed, 40 could be a conservative setting that doesn’t even slowly fill the cache)
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 2 months ago:
Sounds like most of that would be handled by the kernel with non-Deck-specific modules - it won’t forget to notify the userspace that a device has disappeared just because it was in sleep mode at the time it was physically disconnected.
The only problems I ever had with sleep on Linux were all inability to wake up some part of the motherboard or the GPU because of crappy firmware, never with connecting/disconnecting external stuff.

Your mileage may vary
- Comment on Cannot reset DNS Settings 5 months ago:
Are you sure you didn’t set DNS directly on some/all of your devices? Because in that case they won’t care about the router settings and will use whatever you set them to.
Also as the other commenter said, DNS changes might not propagate to other devices on the network until the next time they connect - a reboot or unplugging the cable from your computer for a few seconds is a dirty but pretty OS agnostic way to do that.
- Comment on Is Lemmy.one planning to upgrade go 0.19.3? 6 months ago:
Yeah, that same website says there are 4.8k “new” users here, so it doesn’t add up.
- Comment on NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden 6 months ago:
You get a special unique(?) cryptographic token
I might be nitpicking, but IMHO it is perfectly reasonable to read this as questioning whether the token itself is unique, which is how I read it. The idea of non-unique NFTs then made me write a short quip about it, that’s all.
- Comment on NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden 6 months ago:
unique(?)
Now introducing: fungible NFTs
- Comment on Follow-up question to mounting encrypted drives 10 months ago:
On the other hand, it’s also worth noting that newer RAM generations are less and less susceptible to this kind of attack. Not because of any countermeasures, they just lose the data without constant refreshing much quicker even when chilled / frozen, so the attack becomes impractical.
So from DDR4 up, you’re probably safe.
- Comment on Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Reference Poster / Cheatsheet 10 months ago:
I think the idea at the time was that if /usr is unavailable, you won’t be doing much with the system anyway (other than fixing the configuration).Nevermind, apparently the original meaning had nothing to do with a network (TIL for me), so our discussion is kinda moot. See section 0.24 in this 2.9BSD (1983) installation guide
Locally written commands that aren’t distributed are kept in /usr/src/local and their binaries are kept in /usr/local. This allows /usr/bin, /usr/ucb, and /bin to correspond to the distribution tape (and to the manuals that people can buy). People wishing to use /usr/local commands are made aware that they aren’t in the base manual.
- Comment on Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Reference Poster / Cheatsheet 10 months ago:
No comment on sensibility, but technically both are equally difficult - mount the parent filesystem, then mount the child filesystem into an empty directory in the parent. Doesn’t matter which one is where, it’s all abstracted away at this level anyway.
- Comment on Is searx got discontinued ? 11 months ago:
(and i’m not sure why PG is encouraging it by boosting it)
I’m pretty sure that’s just how other ActivityPub platforms see posts in Lemmy/kbin communities. There’s no boosting here and @privacyguides isn’t an user
- Comment on NFS or iSCSI? 11 months ago:
I mean, there is the whole 128/8 for localhost, kinda hard to beat that with crazy allocations. And OP still has another /12 and /16 networks available even if they refuse to further divide them.
- Comment on Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run? 1 year ago:
JavaScript. Your browser downloads and runs it automatically and the vast majority of people either don’t consider it a problem at all or just accept that they can’t choose what software they run on their computer. This person apparently wants to avoid websites with proprietary JavaScript if possible.
