I have yet to read this, but. But the first part is like the internals of systemd, you won’t immediately need it.

If you want to make use of systemd, you can skip directly to where it explains unit files. You’ll soon see just how much it can do for you

One of my university professors wanted us to program using DrJava, so of course Java 8 it is.

Why did he want to use that? Because it was similar DrRacket, which he made us use in the previous term to program Scheme (which is just lisp for teachers). Of course that was just us being all modern and such, he himself used DrScheme, the deprecated precursor of DrRacket.

This guy is so old that my high school Systems teacher had him as her university professor.

He has a fancy current gen MacBook Pro that he uses for his stuff. Then when it’s lesson time he whips out a windows 95 netbook and a daisy chain of adapters from VGA to thunderbolt.

The pine nuts are the seeds that are inside the pine cones. The pinecone being wooden clearly didn’t stop us from prying them apart and eating it’s content

People put pine nuts in salads all the time, and rodents do as well. It’s also one of the 5 ingredients of pesto.

And why the airplane?

I don’t know, it looks pretty strong. People end up in ER with lightbulbs up their butt, it can’t be weaker than those.

I was weird and still got the pyramid scheme DM. What about it?

No flared base…

What does this mean?

Today I discovered a new website

If only…

Those are POSIX acls, and they suck

We could have had NFSv4 ACL, of which windows ACLs are a subset. In fact, every other unix os did… Except for Linux, they decided it didn’t fit well to Linux. And so we are stuck with UGO permissions, and posix ACLs.

I pronounce it spelling out only C H, but spelling them in my native language, so it sounds like “chee akka mod” and of course the same goes for “chee akka own”

Have you tried gnome connections? It’s more on the “quick and easy” rather than “professional” side, but maybe it does the job.

Tho I wonder whether it’s more of a windows-side issue… maybe windows 11 requires some kind of online authentication that cannot be implemented by other clients, and maybe this authentication can be turned off. I’m merely speculating here, but I know that remmina works for windows 10 so it’s suspicious.

It works because of triangles. Just start drawing some diagrams and you’ll quickly figure out how on your own. Which is more fun than having someone give you a geometric proof.

Try it. Look at a mirror and put a ruler on the mirror, the size of your face on the mirror will always be the same, no matter how far you are. It will be half the size of your actual face.

When you see your own face in the mirror, no matter how far you are, the portion of the mirror showing your face is always half the size of your actual face.

AMD has an nvdec/nvenc equivalent called AMF, on Linux it’s going to be deprecated in months in favour of va-api.

To my knowledge, it does not have an nvfbc equivalent. Which anyway, Nvidia has deprecated on windows in favour of a windows-native screen capture with a name I don’t remember.

For what is worth, va-api encoding + kmsgrab works pretty well for me, it does have some latency, but nothing too unacceptable. Probably less than the one caused by the Bluetooth controller. And none of this is vendor specific, you can get it working on Intel, AMD and Nvidia (Nvidia needs a compatibility layer, but it works). Also, it works on Wayland, but sunshine needs some privileges to work.

Sunshine supposedly supports nvfbc with patched Nvidia drivers, even on Linux, I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know if it works on Wayland. I don’t see why it shouldn’t, as long as you give sunshine privileged permissions (like you need for kmsgrab). Even without nvfbc you can use nvenc, so you don’t need the va-api compatibility layer.

Supposedly, since this Nvidia driver release nvfbc is used as backend for pipewire screen capture, so it should just work for apps like OBS, I don’t know if sunshine has intention to move to it.

In general, screen capture on Linux pretty much works, even on Wayland. The general sentiment that it’s broken is actually old news.

There’s a caveat though. Proprietary apps tend to use outdated stuff (e.g. electron builds from 5 years ago) and thus don’t support screen sharing on Wayland.

It doesn’t replace the editor, it creates a stream and opens it in your default text editor. When you write out, it saves the stream to an appropriate drop in file
