Does this guy have an actual software engineering job? I worked with assholes this bad and they either fire that person or I leave and the company fails later (not due to them, but just tons of other bad decisions, including not being able to identify shitty people).

If he wants bcachefs to succeeded, he needs to work entirely on making it a kernel module. Get the deb/rpm/AUR/ebuild packaging down with DKMS so people can have his bleeding edge shit if he wants. Then get some other volunteer to handle the actual kernel part; submitting the correct pieces in the correct window. Honestly for my own use, I wouldn't use anything other than zfs-on-linux today.

he seems to be an actual autist; he's spend the better part of a US federal holiday arguing with people (I found another one on hacker nudes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44464396 https://archive.ph/DnQF5 )

he appears to be technically competent but entirely socially ridiculous

he has that lolcow trait of not understanding causal chains more than one long - I did X which you warned would cause Y, I did X again, you did Y, I lost a dev because of Y, it's all your fault.

The guy is the cause of all of his problems. You would think someone that can understand how code works at the level they can write a filesystem. Would understand the cause and effect of not following kernel deadlines.

On the thing about hyprland. After thinking about it a bit today. You could argue that if it wasn't made for Wayland it wouldn't need to exist. But I think if it was another xorg window manager. I would still rather use it than i3. Dwm fills a different niche than hyprland. With the whole minimal suckless thing.

I feel like hyprland nearly gives you the extensibility of qtile or awesome. While not having to actually code out the extensibility with a programming language.

Then add to that. It's probably the best Wayland compositor around. It's easy to see why people like it. That is. People that aren't trying to replicate the windows style of window management.

Having a 3k monitor, from an x1 tablet routed into a x200, 3:2 dimension, each trial WM defaulted to impossibly tiny text within the GUI. Only MX Wildflower, shipping with X11, looked perfect right out the box. Cool, until MX upgraded Debian versions, requiring a full backup and reinstall. If what you have looks good, maybe backing up the xrandr for DPI is a good idea just incase.
I'm arch booting directly to console and it's quite alright. $startx as needed, but just for pure text editing, the console looks really comfy.

If the designers of X Windows built cars, there would be no fewer than five steering wheels hidden about the cockpit, none of which followed the same principles—but you’d be able to shift gears with your car stereo. Useful feature, that

Sounds a lot better than Wayland, with fifty different cars, a third of which have a steering wheel (broken), a third of which have a steering yoke (broken), and the dildo used to steer in the remaining ones breaks off at the worst possible moment.

And that every component has a micro component for their own individual micro components, that may or may not be compatible with one another depending on the dilation that day.

That might just be Jellyfin. I paid for Emby and it pretty much autoconfigures based on whatever you you have and it runs great.

Borderline necro, but do not disable journaling. It does not refer to logging, but a mechanism that tries to make transactions on the hard drive atomic to prevent corruption if you have a power outage or have to force a shutdown.

There should be very little overhead in terms of disk I/O. If it's writing 1MB a minute, that means other processes are writing 1MB a minute, jbd2 is not to blame, and iotop may be showing you bandwidth to a tmpfs filesystem which isn't going to your SSD in any case

I have not disabled the journaling that isn't logging. Also, TBW down to a few hundred KB a minute or less a minute usually (I used that SMART thing to see actual TBW to the drive). But there is these auto-updates that installs every day, like a few 100 MB -- or that writing is some fstrim process (even though the fstrim timer is set to weekly).

It was required a year or so ago in order to get tearing on wayland working without visual bugs. I think it's only been a few months since NVIDIA finally fixed it so no graphics card actually needs it anymore.

Bingo, thanks for explaining it better than I would have bro.

It's such a niche ass specific thing but it was the root of all my damned problems lmfao

I thought tearfree was only an option on X11 because it was old and busted? I'm sure they said it wasn't a problem on Wayland because it was the new hotness.

Note: The following fix is for X11 specifically, not Wayland. With Wayland you most likely will have no screen tearing issues at all they said, some years ago.

I guess they fixed that but Jesus fuck, what else is wrong with it?

If I recall on Wayland you cannot turn off v-sync, so if you're playing a game with v-sync it will be triple buffered and lag

Or just use hyprland instead of sway. Sway is for niggers and trannies. In hyprland you just just enable tearing in the config file if you want it.


Just to add. As far as I know the only reason tearing is a thing at all on wayland is because of hyprland. He pushed to get that accepted into the protocols. I don't remember the whole story with it. From what I rember that was obviously before he was banned from freedesktop.

Tiling window managers in general are for niggers and trannies.
Just Works in KDE Wayland. Pretty sure its on by default too.
