I just searched for the asahi linux (Linux for M Series Macs) battery life, and found this blog post [0].

> During active development with virtual machines running, a few calls, and an external keyboard and mouse attached, my laptop running Asahi Linux lasts about 5 hours before the battery drops to 10%. Under the same usage, macOS lasts a little more than 6.5 hours. Asahi Linux reports my battery health at 94%.

Was this the same issue as on February 1st? Or are these outages unrelated?

FWIW about:config is available in beta and nightly on android, my main browser was nightly for a while but it sometimes was too unstable, so I switched to beta as my daily, which seems to be stable.

I'm fairly certain that I paid once for WhatsApp back in the day (on Android)

EDIT: just checked my payment history and in November 2013 I paid €0.89 for "One Year Service"

The Legion Go S with Windows will cost $599 and the Legion Go S with SteamOS will cost $499. I suppose those will be the same hardware wise. So a $100 difference

SushiHippie — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 12:40:42 +0000

Funfact:

There is a German saying: "Ford kaufen, Ford fahren, Ford schmeißen"

which translates to

"Buy a Ford, drive a Ford (or "drive away"), throw away [a Ford]."

As Ford sounds the same as "fort" and "fortfahren" -> "drive away", "fortschmeißen" -> "throw away"

FWIW with the Java version you can easily create a LAN Server in game, by joining a world and then opening it to LAN.

Thanks for the hint, I had this setting enabled, but it didn't look good on Firefox, but using chrome made it look good!

All my smartphones had been Samsung, and then I bought a Pixel just to get GrapheneOS and for me it's a way nicer experience, so I'm curious what the rough edges are that you experience?

SushiHippie — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 14:20:30 +0000

lz4 is pretty awesome for ZFS compression. It has nearly no impact on read/write and writing/reading data is sometimes even faster than without compression.

Though I use zstd on zfs datasets which I rarely read/write to i.e. backups.
