@greedytacothief @AmbiguousProps How does Finamp compare?
@clark I don’t know the Slim, but I wrote about Linux on my Yoga here: https://rhys.wtf/posts/sway-and-arch-with-yoga
Might be useful.
@Moneo @SigHunter Networking came to be when there were lots of different implementations of a ‘byte’. The PDP-10 was prevalent at the time the internet was being developed for example, which supported variable byte lengths of up to 36-bits per byte.
Network protocols had to support every device regardless of its byte size, so protocol specifications settled on bits as the lowest common unit size, while referring to 8-bit fields as ‘octets’ before 8-bit became the de facto standard byte length.
@FrankTheHealer @KarnaSubarna Setting displays to run at 144Hz has worked for ages. VRR is a different feature, where the display’s refresh rate syncs to the framerate being pushed to it by your OS. Most environments have supported that for ages too, but some things haven’t. Mutter moving to support it is a big step toward it being universally available.
@madcaesar @otl It’s a small server running OpenBSD, configured to operate as a router and/or firewall.
Linux and the *BSDs can operate as very good routers and firewalls, usually being much more configurable and enabling you to do more complex than off-the-shelf consumer-level hardware routers. Using them on a small form factor computer with a cheap switch in front of them can give you a better performing and nicer to use alternative.

@squidspinachfootball @marcos Syncthing syncs. It does one way syncs, but if your workflow is complex and depends on one way syncs that’s probably not what you want.
Sync things between operational systems, then replicate to nonoperational systems, and backup to off site segregated systems.
@MonkCanatella Oh, this looks good!
My current solution is VSCode with Dendron and Excalidraw self-hosted using coder.com’s code-server. It’s not perfect, but fits well enough for me as a knowledge management system.
If someone repackages AnyType as a web app I can self-host in a similar way, I’ll be over the moon.
@MigratingtoLemmy @poVoq exactly what a bot would say 🤔
@railsdev @innercitadel Do you not write your web apps in assembler…?
@BlackRoseAmongThorns @daisyKutter Swap is a place on disk that gets used as a slow, temporary place to put memory when your RAM is full. Windows uses a swap file on an existing partition, while Linux generally uses a dedicated partition instead (although you can use a swap file if you really want to).
Appropriate sizes for the swap partition are hotly debated. Twice the size of your RAM if you have a small amount, or the same size as your RAM if you have lots is a good approximation.
