dxdxdt··on Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers
The very first thing I remove when I install Fedora. It's such a bloat that only takes up space and memory for most people.

> just computationally expensive. (But less expensive than training from scratch.)

Model training requires GPUs w/ 1kW TDP. I can shit out code on noodles and red bulls. Not sure about the quality, but still way less energy :)

Jokes aside, the defrag program probably was a slob to some extent.

Yeah. Pretty much.

Read the defrag code in other well-established fs like ext4 or btrfs. They all have limitations(or caveats, if you will). It's one of those problems where you just have to throw money at it and hope for the best. Even Microsoft kinda just gave up on it because it's really a pointless exercise at this point in time and age.

I did the same. Was genuinely curious. Didn't get much from it. I'm still confused.

The code base is huge for an LLM to handle, perhaps it was generated over multiple prompts idk. Not sure if someone can train a model on the kernel code or exfatprogs and generate the code. I doubt someone with such expertise would even go through the process when they can just write the code themselves which is much easier.

I don't get it. That post was a whole bag of nothing. Why are you guys upvoting it?
