A lot of people play online games. They aren’t exactly rare.

Something that is actually a lot less used (and probably a lot of effort to maintain as well) is webxr. It’s a cool technology but not very useful right now (although I could imagine it becoming more important in the future)

Why is webgl garbage? You don’t think 3d online games should be able to exist?

The chrome tab groups were what I missed the most when I switched, so I’m happy with the change. It’s a little jankier feeling as in chrome it’s harder to drag a tab out of the group, while in Firefox if you move a tab to the end it’s hard to get it to stay in the group.

It would also be nice if any of it was themeable, but themeability in Firefox is a whole other problem.

It can work in the normal tab bar at the top

It looks like the ux is very different this time tho

I love it, it was basically the only thing I missed when I switched from Chrome to Firefox. I’ve reorganized all of my tabs and everything is so much cleaner than it was a few days ago.

Now we just need jxl, webgpu, and better themes!

You can’t really kill a programming language though

Companies are going to continue using it just because it’s what they used before

I know some people are suspicious of fedora specifically because of its ties with IBM.

Arch also can absolutely be installed just as quickly as any other distro if you use the archinstall script. I used it recently to install KDE plasma onto a Chromebook from 2017 and everything worked exactly as expected, I haven’t had any issues with stability so far. Can absolutely be done in under half an hour. It ofc doesn’t come with the advantage of understanding exactly how your system is set up, like you would if you did it yourself.

The last time I did that (slightly different setup with xfce) though I broke it somehow and ended up with if freezing often when booting, although I’m still not sure if that was a hardware problem or not, but it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore. I also broke something with the audio jack somehow around then during an update, but chromebooks have weird audio drivers and you need to use this script maintained by (afaik) one person in their spare time. Anyways I would expect a framework laptop to handle it better as it’s newer and more common hardware.

You could keep the kernel tho while changing the gui

People do that with google translate as well

I’m just using basic fabric stuff running through a systemd service for my MC server. It also basically just has every single performance mod I could find and nothing else (as well as geyser+floodgate) so there isn’t all that much admin stuff to do. I set up RCON (I think it’s called) to send commands from my computer but I just set up everything through ssh. I haven’t heard of either pterodactyl or crafty controller, I’ll check those out!

for high vram ai stuff it might be worth waiting and seeing how the 24gb b580 variant is

Intel has a bunch of translation layer sort of stuff though that I think generally makes it easy to run most CUDA ai things on it, but I’m not sure if common ai software supports multi gpu with it though

IDK how cash limited you are but if it’s just the vram you need and not necessarily the tokens/sec it should be a much better deal when it releases

Not entirely related but I have a full half hourly shapshotted computer backup going to a large HDD in my home server using Kopia, its very convenient and you don’t need to install anything on the server except a large drive and the ability to use ssh/sftp (or another method, it supports several). It supports many compression formats and also avoids storing duplicate data. I haven’t needed to use it yet, but I imagine it could become very useful in the future. I also have the same set up in the cli on the server, largely so I can roll back in case some random person happens upon it and decides to destroy everything in my Minecraft server (which is public and doesn’t have a whitelist…). It’s pretty easy to set up and since it can back up over the internet, its something you could easily use for a whole family.

My home server (with a bunch of used parts plus a computer from the local university surplus store) was probably about ~170$ in total (i7 6700, 16gb ddr4, 256gb ssd, 8tb hdd) and is enough to host all of the stuff I have (very light modded MC with geyser, a gitlab instance, and the backup) very easily, but it is very much not expandable (the case is quite literally tiny and I don’t have space to leave it open, I could get a pcie storage controller but the psu is weak and there aren’t many sata ports), probably not all that future proof either, and definitely isn’t something I would trust to perform well with AI models.

this (sold out now) is the hdd I got, I did a lot of research and they’re supposed to be super reliable. I was worried about noise, but after getting one I can say that as long as it isn’t within 4 feet of you you’ll probably never hear it.

Anyways, it’s always nice to really do something the proper way and have something fully future proof, but if you just need to host a few light things you can probably cheap out on the hardware and still get a great experience. It’s worth noting that a normal Minecraft server, backups, and a document editor for example are all things that you can run on a Raspberry Pi if you really wanted to. I have absolutely no experience using a NAS, metasearch, or heavy mods however, those might be a lot harder to get fast for all I know.

polynomial approximation seems like a weird choice for audio, is it really more efficient than a frequency based encoding?

also, it seems like audio compression formats have seen a lot less development in recent years than images have. I want to try encoding audio as a lossless jpeg xl now just to see how it does, I think it should be possible as jpeg xl supports extremely large image dimensions

Wow, I’m glad I have auto-renew enabled.

No one’s making billions of dollars. No one’s making a single dollar. Both games have absolutely no monetization.

That’s a patent, not copyright.

Both games are completely free and without any sort of monetization, I do think he definitely should have linked to the original game and taken it down when the original creator asked, but a fan remaking a game doesn’t sound that unusual

No-one is profiting, no one is losing anything, why does it matter?
