@vga @gravitas_deficiency Adhering to the much-flaunted spending commitments wasn't ridiculous, but Trump's framing of it was.
Back when he raised it, he was threatening to withdraw the US from the alliance if other nations didn't start adhering to it, and as recently as this year he's said he'll encourage Putin to do "whatever the hell he wants" to states who don't meet the spending commitment, directly undermining the collective defence principle of NATO.
@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.
@flashgnash Yep, just once to transfer the terminfo files and resolve this.
The SSH kitten is pretty useful though. If you use it in combination with kitty's --single-instance mode, you can start new kitty windows in the same SSH session without logging in again using its shared connection feature. Hugely convenient for how I work at least.
@flashgnash @Laser Connecting once with its ssh kitten resolves this by uploading appropriate terminfo files to the user's directory.
@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.
