Well no you can translate, but it just seems that nobody has actually made a product to do so.

e.g. those M.2 SSD to USB adapters, those aren’t speaking NVMe to the host device. They either talk the traditional USB “bulk transfer” protocol, or potentially SCSI, translating that to NVMe for the SSD itself.

Man, it sure would be helpful for my argument if I could.

I went back and checked the ones I was looking at, very helpful fine print stating “not for NVEM ssds”, so they all only work with mSATA M.2 SSDs, hell of a let down.

Especially since you can get M.2 to SATA adapters, so people stuck with SATA only motherboards can still upgrade their storage.

Literally the same deal when companies stopped making IDE drives, people just used SATA to IDE adapters instead.

If you detach the origin from the host it’d work, aka HTTP Alternative Services. Firefox used to (maybe still does? idk) use it to silently switch from using the base hostname to a hidden service when running under Tor, when the site provided the mapping.

Clearnet stuff would work without it, but any I2P/Tor support needs server integration, which would be non-existent at the moment I’d bet.

Git itself (Or any other VCS for that matter) really should treat symlinks as special, similar as to how btrfs stores everything as “reflinks” internally. They be stored as special references to other tracked objects (so it’d be impossible to commit a symlink that pointed at anything other than a checked-in file, and ensure they always match), and git can materialise them as needed.

eg I have a photo of my foot when I broke it off at the ankle.

How on earth did you manage that?

There’s also xml5ever, for if you hate XML.

I have hope they draw inspiration from “Supergirl: Woman of tomorrow”

I doubt the choice of book is a coincidence

Not really - if a woman came in with a gunshot wound, she’d be asked if she was pregnant. Why? Because she’d need a CT scan or an X-ray, which are ionizing radiation and have a risk for a foetus.

Pretty sure immediate blood loss from a bullet wound trumps hypothetical risks of an x-ray.

Edit: To quote the health department of the state next to me…

Most radiation exposure during medical testing is unlikely to harm a developing baby. Testing is only done if the risk to you or your baby is greater than not doing the test. The ‘risk’ is the increased chance of your unborn baby getting a cancer during their childhood.

Well we’ve recreated namespaces, and JSON already has a completely useless type system, so it’s pretty much already there.

We’ve got shovels and we are in a big hole … which way are we going to dig?

It’s a shame you’re getting downvoted since you’re actually right, and distros are in the process of moving to “kmscon”, a userspace console, rather than the old kernel console (Which iirc isn’t actually intended to be a general purpose console, it’s meant for boot messages)

That said, the fonts the kernel uses are old style bitmap fonts, extremely limited “attack surface” as they’re not doing stuff like opentype/font shaping, it’s just setting pixel values directly.

Windows Terminal is the terminal emulator that hosts the shell (cmd or PowerShell, or anything else really). It’s the modern replacement for “conhost”.

It’s also a fantastic app, some of the devs are on Mastodon too.

Pretty sure that’s just high-frequency trading.

This behavior is actually in line with what I’d expect, as Unicode support in Windows predates UTF-16, so Windows generally does not handle surrogate pairs and instead operates almost exclusively on WTF-16 code units directly.

So it’s just straight UCS-2, and the software does enforce that, pretty much the opposite of “WTF-16”.

Edit: Pretty sure “modern” (XP+ I think) Windows actually does enforce UTF-16 validity in the system, but there’s always legacy stuff from the NT4/2K era that might turn up.

Landrun as well, takes the restrictions on the command line. Can look messy, but does make it entirely standalone, so you can e.g. drop it into a service file as the readme shows easily enough.

Webp is a smaller file size than jpeg for the same image quality in almost all circumstances

For lower quality images sure, for high quality ones JPEG will beat it (WebP, being an old video format, only supports a quarter of the colour resolution than JPEG does, etc.) JPEG is actually so good that it still comes out ahead in a bunch of benchmarks, it’s just it’s now starting to show it’s age technology wise (like WebP, it’s limited to 8bpc in most cases)

It also doesn’t hurt that Google ranked sites using WebP/AVIF higher than ones that aren’t (via lighthouse).

Edit: I should clarify, this is the lossy mode. The lossless mode gives better compression than PNG, but is still limited to 8bpc, so can’t store high bit depth, or HDR images, like PNG can.

Edit 2: s/bpp/bpc/

Phones and tablets? They’ve displaced computers for a fair few people, and it’s hard to consistently run a P2P client on those devices (And that’s ignoring metered connection costs)

Well, all websites are written in JS (on the frontend)

Not true anymore unfortunately, some sites are using frameworks compiled to WASM instead.

e.g. X is apparently using Yew now.

Edit: Ok the “apparently” is doing heavy lifting, since now I can’t find the original source I read about it. Turns out “X” is a garbage name with no searchability, only an idiot would use it.

That’d at least make sense, this is a (literal) black box. Seriously, my monitor takes long enough to wake that it’s at the boot loader screen by the time it’s ready.

I found a post on Reddit claiming it’s a RAM thing, and I should enable XMP to avoid it. But I’ve already got XMP enabled so I need to poke around it again.

And also disable the 5 second delay in the bootloader, not like I’m ever using that fallback option.
