txdv··on Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
My argon rasberry setup with an SSD is also stable.

Only reason why it fails is when the electricity goes out. A battery that could keep it running for 10 minutes would completely be enough.

txdv··on TCC RISC-V Compiler Runs in the Web Browser (Thanks to Zig Compiler)
Yeah, and zig solves that. Instead of installing, trying the right header files, you just untar 70mb and you are good to go.

txdv··on Container2wasm: Convert Containers to WASM Blobs
Maybe these containers should be build for wasm-wasi instead of x86 from the beginning? Then there would be no need to emulate x86 in wasm

txdv··on Features of Project Loom incorporated in JDK 21
Scala can just use the virtual thread pool as default execution context and its beautiful, you can just call whatever you want in a Future
txdv··on Building a Slack/Discord alternative with Tauri/Rust
I wanted to have apple notes on linux, so I used tauri and just redirected to the apple notes web app.

I could really feel the lag and the lack of snappiness when interacting with that UI.

Its webkit, safari also uses webkit? Why is it so slow?

You might want to hold on for a few more Qs because short term solutions like this do increase stocks.
txdv··on Build your own private WireGuard VPN with PiVPN
Yeah, I agree, I am a geek though and wanted a linux machine with arm so I could do some assembly hacking on it (nothing serious). Just the general geek factor I think makes a lot of people buy it.

I use the Argon case with ssd over usb, since the sd cards failed like after 2 weeks. For me it is perfect, I get to host all my minimal things (vpn, ssh over it, host photos, videos, run a few services) and it is like super energy efficient, although that efficiency is more of an ego boost than actual use.

I think there are a lot of atom mini pcs which have normal ethernet and m2 connectors that are a better alternative.

txdv··on Making a Linux home server sleep on idle and wake on demand – the simple way
i run an rpi to host stuff for cheap (the energy drain of the pi is low), my main machine goes to sleep after 15min to save costs. seemes like a neat trick to remotely wake it up
txdv··on I wrote a Ruby extension in Zig
Actually with zig you dont need gcc anymore. Everything in a 60mb zip.

tell them: its just business
txdv··on Thank You, Valve
I think they started using their proton layer for dota2. I am lately experiencing lags during their heavy animations when presenting Arcana and special game modes, other than that it works fine. I have a lot of games since I buy 3 year old games for 5 dollars and most of them work fine. The newest games with special anti cheat systems probably do not work.

But this is a huge step. They are ahead of the competition. If the competition wants to offer something better than Steam they now need to invest heavily in linux support which increases the costs of development significantly.

txdv··on Thank You, Valve
With all the machine learning we have, game makers could train models to spot hackers. The hacking patterns were obvious even during counter strike 1.6 days. Maybe they got more subtle?

I don't play a lot of FPS, but In Dota2 I see a bunch of hackers where the replay literally shows you how they do not even react with their mouse to a threat that appears suddenly but still manage to cast a spell somehow. I don't even think that machine learning is needed to detect that kind of hack.

Can you link to learning resources?
txdv··on Darling – Run Mac apps on Linux
Been playing a lot of steam games with proton, it is mind bogling how valve expanded from support for linux for the source engine to support 70% of the games.

txdv··on .NET 6 vs .NET 5 speedup
.NET has the ability to handle your memory layout explicitly with structs.

They expanded on that functionality with span and made sure that the common libraries is implemented using this.

If you do textbook OOP development for everything, you will end up with a lot of allocations and what not, which was the case, so they went through the entire base class library and rewrote all often used methods to be faster.

they even posted a bunch of posts with all their improvement tricks: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance-improvemen...
