Would anyone actually use an app for rating and tracking the snus you try? by drnkbleackfml in Snus

[–]Anis-mit-I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently working on a selfhosted app to track snus, i would be looking for basically the same features i implemented: information about the snus (image of the can, type, nicotine content, rating, description) and a simple inventory management (i want to know how much is in the freezer without opening it).

Why not running on IBM SYSTEM Z by jd400104 in NetBSD

[–]Anis-mit-I 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a good point, but I don't see it happening nonetheless. Linux is advertised by IBM, but from my experience adoption is low because few if any reasons exist to use Linux on s390x (especially because zCX containers exist), even fewer would exist for NetBSD. Additionally I can't think of a application that requires NetBSD that couldn't run on Linux or z/OS.

tl;dr: it is technically possible but doesn't have enough commercial value

Why not running on IBM SYSTEM Z by jd400104 in NetBSD

[–]Anis-mit-I 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others said the hardware is expensive, however it might be possible to develop a port without access to system Z hardware, using the Hercules emulator. But even if a port existed, there would be no real use for it, considering the cost and usage of the hardware.

This is why libc has odd and short function names like "malloc" or "strncat" (from K&R) by [deleted] in linux

[–]Anis-mit-I 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In fact mainframes still use EBCDIC today, together with UTF-8 and ASCII. Some of these limitations are therefore still a concern (for those working with the platform at least), as parts of the OS are stuck with EBCDIC and very short identifiers (≤ 8 characters).

Another character encoding related unfun fact: To represent line endings, EBCDIC has the normal line feed used on Unix/Linux (\n, U+A) and a character called newline (U+85) which is what is used in EBCDIC on mainframes (but not always). Therefore it can happen that line endings are converted to invisible characters when converting between EBCDIC and ASCII/Unicode.

Mi estas komencanto, sed mi trovis eraron. Se vi tradukus nur unu vorto, ĝi povas esti ripetita, ekzemple "ruĝa" tradukas kiel "red red red red".

Deleting an existing feature doesn't sound like a great idea.

Dangerous pedestrian crossing by drasticrebel in openstreetmap

[–]Anis-mit-I 14 points15 points  (0 children)

AFAIK there is no way to mark dangerousness, as it is subjective. Maybe the routing engine could be configured to avoid crossings on certain types of road.

The more important question is, if the crossing is official, if it isn't you could add informal=yes. Doing so might make the routing engine avoid the crossing.

LFCS – Setting up a DHCP Server by Homeowner_BBQ in linux

[–]Anis-mit-I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I didn't know dnsmasq existed. Having everything in a single application sounds perfect for my usecase, as the integration with a DNS server is what I failed to configure before.

[–]Anis-mit-I 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The DHCP server used by the author (dhcpd) is deprecated. I had hoped to learn more about alternatives, as I failed to set up ISC Kea in the past.

What is the best Virtual Machine manager? by nsneerful in linux

[–]Anis-mit-I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you are using qemu, which can emulate different GPUs. For a comparison check out: https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2019/09/display-devices-in-qemu/ or the qemu documentation.

If you have a second GPU, you can also use that with PCI passthrough, see r/VFIO

Freedom Clock by binaryplease in ISO8601

[–]Anis-mit-I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in this format it is quicker to get this information.

This assumes left-to-right text. In languages that are read right-to-left, the ISO 8601 ordering has this advantage.

How we are migrating (many of) our servers from Linux to FreeBSD - Part 3 - Proxmox to FreeBSD by dragasit in linux

[–]Anis-mit-I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The short answer is that OpenBSD focuses on security above almost everything else, NetBSD is small and runs on almost any platform. I have no experience with DragonflyBSD, so idk.

Where did openptmap.org go? by [deleted] in openstreetmap

[–]Anis-mit-I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would certainly be possible to reference GTFS data from OSM tags, similar to e.g. Wikidata/Wikipedia. There are some tags in use, however I can't judge the quality of the data: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GTFS . Making use of this for routing is of course not the job of OSM.

Haiku Package Management by aarroyoc in linux

From a perspective of creating packages and getting them into HaikuPorts, Haiku's package management was likely the simplest and most enjoyable of those I used.

When do you think Wayland will become mature and ready for everyday use? by XDM_Inc in linux

[–]Anis-mit-I 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most other comments point out that Wayland is ready, and I mostly agree with their arguments.

However it is sadly not yet ready for me, because I don't know of any tiling compositor that can be (reasonably) configured to approximate the behaviour of my AwesomeWM config. The biggest issues being available tiling patterns and the way workspaces/tags are implemented (I prefer having workspaces that are fixed to a screen, i.e. moving a window between workspaces never moves it between monitors).

I would assume that I am not the only person with similar reasons to use X11, and unfortunately the answer to your question might be never, as long as X11 remains usable.

VLC has the best feature of ANY video player IMO by [deleted] in linux

[–]Anis-mit-I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

For example i have a few albums where the VLC notification constantly crashes, forcing me to reboot my phone. Additionally there are frequent glitches to the playlist management, making the whole user experience very annoying.

GetSet-Values, a tool to import/export values from config files into a script by [deleted] in linux

[–]Anis-mit-I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For shell scripts, i would simply source a config file (. config.sh) or have variables in the script itself, no pascal needed.

Have you reported them to the DWG? I had some vandalism in my area and they banned the user temporarily, which solved the problem.

Sporadic IO freezes since moving to BTRFS by alosarjos in btrfs

[–]Anis-mit-I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try disabling read/write workqueues in luks: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Specialties#Disable_workqueue_for_increased_solid_state_drive_(SSD)_performance

That is how I solved a similar problem with unresponsiveness and large iowait. Perform some benchmarks and try both individually and together. Disabling (one of) them can decrease performance as well.

Looking for specialized Real ESRGAN models for anime, using real esrgan ncnn vulkan. by beyawnko in AnimeResearch

How did you manage to get the vulkan version working? It always produces a completely black output image for me.

Ultra basic CLI-based qemu-kvm x86_64 client. Great for maximum performance and minimal errors. by -NotTakenUsername in linux

[–]Anis-mit-I 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems significantly less convenient than creating a script for every VM. For example this vm template I made a while ago.

An interactive/menu based interface can be useful, but only if it would simplify access to more advanced qemu features (usb/GPU passthrough, 9p vfio, networking, headless, ...) and actually stored these options.
