damentzon Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains

Unless you are running an ancient LTS distribution, you at least have fsync. But then also recognize, with the ancient LTS distribution not carrying any enhancements for the last few years, your drivers are also out of date and games will play terribly for unrelated reasons.

damentzon Logging sucks

I'm pretty sure by verbose it's the realization you've wasted precious time reading AI bloat that you'll never get back. On top of that, now you need to reread the text for hallucinations or just take a loss and ignore any conclusions at risk that they came from bad data.

damentzon Rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia

Correct, another way of looking at it is from a programming angle. If Debian fixes a bug that breaks your tool, then Debian is unstable. Therefore, to maintain stability, Debian must not fix bugs unless they threaten security.

The term "stable" is the most polluted term in Linux, it's not something to be proud of. Similar to how high uptime was a virtue, now it just means your system probably has been pwned at some point.

damentzon U-Haul Growth Metros and Cities of 2024: Dallas Top Metro for In-Migration

The list is for 25, not 10. Using just 10 over represents the top 10 out of 25.

damentzon When do we stop finding new music?

Ya you're not being honest in the slightest. The OP likes the music made by the group he mentions. You instead say he's being racist for liking music of that group. I'm having a hard time discerning if you're trolling or serious.

damentzon Show HN: Retriever – Securely share secrets over the internet

You're right, but yopass let's you send the link and decryption key separately. The link is only destroyed if the secret is decrypted, not if you just reach the prompt to supply the key.

damentzon Any sufficiently advanced uninstaller is indistinguishable from malware

What is "it"?

damentzon Liquorix Kernel

I agree, I'll think of something more suitable to replace it. There's already good feedback in this thread I can work with.

damentzon Liquorix Kernel

For the most part, Liquorix should always lose on throughput benchmarks. Most of Phoronix's benchmarks focus on those.

You can check the comments regarding a discovery that certain sched_yield configurations destroy performance on out-of-tree schedulers and was amended post benchmarking.

This however was using MuQSS, which was notorious for poor single thread performance. Liquorix now uses PDS which attempts to use all physical cores before deferring to SMT threads. This completely changes performance for lightly threaded workloads.

There's been no news-worthy benchmarks since Liquorix switched from MuQSS to PDS.
