This is actually stated in the xz man page: -0 is sometimes faster than gzip -9 while compressing much better.

With a random test file on my system, xz -0 was 3 times as fast while achieving the same compression as gzip -6.

The former for speed with source trees or such

xz -0 is faster than gzip and has a higher compression ratio.

Thank you!

Please share the documentary.

I don’t know about bees, but last year I noticed wasps crawling in and out a hole on my balcony. I did not think much of it, but noticed the home owner, just to be safe.

Well they send a beekeeper, and that guy explained to me that now it is quiet, but within 4 weeks he expect there to be about 20000 wasps in there, it would be getting really loud and they would have started to find an exit into my apartment. Apparently they multiply really fast.

Man that is sad.

It is still enough for babbys first website/newsletter/blog etc. 128 MB is plenty for any personal website; you could probably even run a shop on that.

Our company’s website requires 5 MB storage and no database.

Just put “free vps” or “free shell account” into a good search engine. For example: https://freeshell.de/services/

Or this is almost free (0.1 $ / month): https://tierhive.com/

I never understood why anyone would host on DO, they were always much more expensive then the competitors.

Seriously, most people probably could get by with a free VPS or free shell account.

Never heard of CSS tricks; I tried to investigate in the posted article, but too much emojis.

I am working in a very small company as a software dev and write everything by hand. I wrote some weeks ago in a different thread here that I tried all of the LLM powered coding tools and found all of them subpar.

If this company goes downhill or I lose the job otherwise, I will work something entirely different.

My very arrogant point of view is that these “vibecoding” tools are being celebrated by people who were making shit software before and now make software that is slightly less shit in what they perceive is the same amount of time, but I suspect it takes them actually longer. Meanwhile, they don’t grow their programming skills at all.

Most personal blogs I stumble upon are written by people who actually have not much to say. The post timeline usually is like:

1. I have started blogging
2. <something about Linux>
3. Why I moved this blog to Hugo

<months of nothing>

4. I now microblog
5. <some “micro” post about Linux>

<months of nothing>

6. Microblogging is just regular blogging
7. My thoughts on AI

Back in the day, personal websites where actually interesting because they were made by people with interesting topics, e.g. some Italian grandma sharing her tomato sauce recipes, or a huge page with nothing but Diablo 1 hacking by some student.

Nowadays it is 90% people who work in a 9-5 IT/software job, writing the same stuff as everyone else.

At the point where you are looking for a “cloud” provider you are already on a path doomed to fail. I like how he points out the “budget” version for “1 vcpu, 2 GB of RAM” at 8,60 € / month, when you get that at netcup for 3 € / month.

Also, when you book a server for 1 month at netcup, use it 10 days and cancel it, they actually refund your money for the remaining 20 days. I have experienced that personally.

This is really only an issue if you browse the WWW without adblock.

And it seems that this guy does it on a mobile device, which is the second mistake.

You are misunderstanding him. Wine has not implemented any UAC dialogue like windows; when the application requests it, it just gets “elevated” as if the user had pressed that UAC button under windows; but Wine does this automatically, as there is no need for something like that.

As stated in comment 50, applications requiring unelevated privileges can be run directly, without the need for “runas” or any similar manual intervention.

That can easily accomplished by running each game in its own WINEPREFIX.

Thank you. I am also using a french press, so I can try this easily.

Would you mind sharing your method on how you prepare coldbrew? I tried researching this before and found only garbage SEO spam websites.

I have honestly no clou if you are serious or if this is some kind of joke.

Isn’t that why it says in the second panel “turn me 180°”?

I don’t know if it is because of neoliberals, but education went to shit over the course of at least 30 years. The difficulty of the classes and exams was lowered and lowered, so that everyone - even the dumbest people - could get a university degree.

This of course lead to dumber and dumber people becoming teachers, which leads to worse teaching in schools, etc; a downward spiral.
