Linux boots in 4.76 days on the Intel 4004
  • Maybe 3 months for it to compile and start up? Good thing it's fall in the northern hemisphere... that's gonna be toasty!

    COSMIC Alpha Released! Here’s what people are saying.
  • Not sure how, but alright! Take it easy.

  • Chrome is Entrenching Third-Party Cookies For Some Sites In A Way That Will Predictably, Inevitably Mislead Users
  • Agreed, but I suppose if all you can do is a make a better product and scream into the void, might as well!

  • COSMIC Alpha Released! Here’s what people are saying.
  • What types of mind blowing improvements were you hoping for?

  • 3 New AI Features Rolling out to Chrome Users on Linux
  • We’re making it even easier to search what you see with the power of Google Lens, compare products across multiple tabs and rediscover sites from your browser history, whether you’re at home or at work.

  • Zed, GPU-accelerated IDE Written in Rust, is now available for Linux
  • Ah, no full git integration breaks it for me. I’ll definitely check in again when that feature shows up.

  • Which linux podcast do you guys listen to?
  • I knew my ears were burning. Thank you for the shout out! :)

  • GNOME tablet support papercut fixes
  • I agree it's awesome. Looking forward to more, but the blog isn't mine, it's Peter Hutterer :)

  • Improved browser features for desktop and Vivaldi Mail 2.0 amped up with new functionalities
  • Sort of? Their Chromium specific code is kept open, as per the parent license, but their Vivaldi specific stuff is, indeed, closed.

    But that's why you can't Outfire the Fox. 🦊

  • How can I quickly "unclog" firefox when it runs out of memory (with 1000/2000 tabs)
  • Kodi and Emby. Ohhhhhh. ISOs. Ha! I knew exactly the types of sorting software that was coming when the idea clicked.

    "Search in all tabs" would be so awesome. I don't do 1000 tabs, but when doing research, I regularly have 30-40 I'm flipping through, and I tend to lose my place, know I saw something, and need that exact tab, and it's always a bit of a chore to track it down before I forget why I wanted the tab in the first place.

    I hope Firefox gets where you need it to be soon. I recently read the story of the 7000 tab person, so it's clearly a use case.

  • How can I quickly "unclog" firefox when it runs out of memory (with 1000/2000 tabs)
  • Those ISOs must go back YEARS! Same with the files! What sorting software helps keep track of all that?

    Notepad++ surely has some type of global search feature to help find the thought you saved for later, right? I'm utterly impressed with how much stuff you seem to have around, yet can still find and make sense of it. I would have long since buried myself under it all and given up.

  • You have 64GB RAM and that's still not enough for your browser. Wow.

    I've come away from this with only more questions. What does your Downloads folder/Filesystem look like? Do you have notebooks or any real world allocation of information? What's that like? What kinds of things do you keep in a junk drawer?

    Absolutely fascinating.

  • Can you suggest me some good Linux podcasts?
  • I'm part of Linux User Space. We do history deep-dives and a whole lot of other Linux content. Most recently was Xz and LXDE/LXQt. We even have our own Lemmy instance :)

  • GNU nano 8.0 Released with New Options and Various Improvements
  • The trick is to never get comfortable with Vim or Emacs.

    *taps forehead*

  • What's going on here? What's that smell? Smells like... empanadas...
  • The real questions are “What are you filling them with?” and “How can I order two dozen?”

  • Ubuntu will manually review Snap Store after crypto wallet scams
  • "stupid" and "lame" are a matter of taste, but "slow" is testable, and they're quite fast these days. They have their uses, especially on embedded devices and servers, but I get your point. Flatpak is my go-to.

  • VPS provider Vultr Claims Rights to Sell Your Data & Programs
  • Nothing. Apply Hanlon to the very original response to Vultr. It all works out.

    It’s Hanlon all the way down.
