Thank you for this post! I got curious as to what I have, so I ran zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -iE 'ntsync|esync|fsync' and saw that I only have ntsync which is a module and is unloaded! Now I have it loaded and set to autoload on boot so I’m ready for better performance. This is with the Arch Zen kernel. Thanks!

Well shit, that sucks. Except that means Buck will align with them more ideologically, Buck is still the best person for the job ;)

That’s sad if true. Is there someone else that can get the point across without even needing to utter a word?

Let’s start a gofundme to send Buck Angel to Idaho. They’ll change their mind when they see Buck and which bathroom they’ve now legislated him to use.

The answer always seems to be no for both performance and development reasons :(

How does that work if it’s peer to peer? Doesn’t at least one person need to open ports?

I know how fractions work, I just thought about the graph wrong. But yes, am awful at math (singular).

I get it now, thanks :)

Ahhh yeah this makes sense, thanks :)

Because you know how to grow food?

I’m awful at math, but how the hell is 12.5 a third of 24.5?!

Do users have to open ports for it to work?

I played Sin pretty recently for the first time. It’s pretty rough honestly. Pretty goofy game with enemies that seem a bit too deadly. I eventually turned on cheats to breeze through the game lol

There’s no way he said tonne with the e at the end like that.

That does happen, and those are bad. These people are bucking the trend and bringing the Windows mentality to Linux and I hate it.

Malware is the least of your worries with Linux. The real reason malware has historically been more prevalent on Windows isn’t necessarily because of market share, it’s in the way software is distributed. In the Windows world, you go to random websites and install proprietary software; you have no idea if it’s trustworthy, even when you’ve found the official site. On Linux, you get your software from repositories (like the app store on your phone) where the software is open source and has been reviewed. All this software comes from trusted sources, you’re never accidentally going to get malware from your OS.

I knew it!

Why say “Your Pixel can now…” when my Pixel can’t? Why not say “Pixel 8 and newer devices can now…”.

I can’t figure out if Free software projects don’t know or don’t care that GitHub is run by Microslop.

You can parse this kind of data out of a PDF with python, but when I did it 20 years ago it wasn’t pretty or fun.
