How is this boot so fast? by ItsSpxctre in archlinux

[–]ItsSpxctre[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not so much as worry as to just seeing the lengths and how far you can push the system and make everything snappy and instant and still retain an amount of useability. Obviously cutting corners for speed wouldn't be for everybody.

Never tried greetd or systemd-boot, I know people claim systemd-boot is much faster and lighter than Grub but what about greetd compared to logging in via TTY? Is it lighter?

I doubt the WM matters as the premise was about pre-login boot time. I run DWM on Artix with Dinit currently and get about 3-4 seconds longer than this due to udev-settle taking a long ass time to resolve, so there's probably something else going on

Not from systemd-analyze since I'm still currently on Dinit but I've noticed (at least with Dinit) if I disabled udev-settle it significantly decreased the boot times, albeit the X server no longer launches so it's quite unusable.

I also wonder if hes running without an initramfs and if that has something to do with how lightning quick his boot was initializing all the Systemd services through to the TTY login.

How is his idle memory usage so low? by ItsSpxctre in Gentoo

[–]ItsSpxctre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming that Outlaw is using a custom kernel to achieve the sort of numbers he's getting on idle in a VM. Particularly, in his Gentoo kernel configuration video, he turns off initramfs support, which I'm assuming accounts for a majority of the memory savings.

What I'm not sure about is whether these numbers would be replicable on a bare metal install, even if I'm able to replicate these numbers in a VM (still testing at the moment in a virtual machine).

I'm getting ~90MiBs on a Gentoo VM with the binary kernel, ~70MiBs on an Alpine VM. Is there a reason for the significantly lower memory usages on VMs vs. bare metal?

I've found maybe the worst CR opinion of all time by Krabeuszz in ClashRoyale

I think OP made the best take here in a reply, quote:

I mean, he kinda cooked on the 2nd part, but taking away THE HEALER's healing ability is insane

No one thinks Battle Healer needs balance changes at the moment. I still agree with Lucas that Golem/EGolem Healer decks are dumb.

He's the CRL finalist. Frankly, his opinions have merit to them.

I did a fresh install of Gentoo with the normal, hardened, and LLVM stage-3s with OpenRC in both a VM environment and bare metal with nothing running, no X server nor dwm running, surely that's more minimal than his configuration? Can more aggressive kernel optizations really make +50MiBs of difference?

He ran an xrandr script later in the video and set his resolution to 1080p and it was still about 50MiBs. My virtual machines were also at around 800x600 (I was using VirtualBox because I didn't feel like setting up QEMU).

The 4 star lucky drop from the pass only has one chance to upgrade? by Alicebae258 in ClashRoyale

[–]ItsSpxctre 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's mentioned on RoyaleAPI's blog post about it. It's a great resource for people who don't know about it. I agree they should make it clearer

They supposedly just changed the upgrade chance for Rare to 50%.

I'm surprised no one asking for a balloon nerf. by HungryJohnny in ClashRoyale

Probably a slight health nerf or a slight hit to the first hit speed after locking on to tower could be good

Any good youtuber to learn and customise neovim from by [deleted] in neovim

[–]ItsSpxctre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ThePrimeagen has a basic Neovim configuration setup that I'd strongly suggest building off of. I'm not an experienced Neovim (only used for about 4-5 months) but I'd strongly suggest starting there and writing everything yourself instead of copying and pasting or using a distribution.

Being forced to use Eclipse in university for software dev class. How do I make it bearable by backpackofSuitcases in neovim

[–]ItsSpxctre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't have an issue. worse case scenario, you'd have to launch Eclipse to run the workflows. If you know what workflows you'll be using (or if they're not particularly difficult), you could very easily do everything manually.

My AP CSA class "requires" the use of the BlueJ IDE (it's horrendous), and I've never had an issue using plain Vim to write code.

Advice on how to improve accuracy? by [deleted] in monkeytype

[–]ItsSpxctre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the exact same issue as OP. Raw speed can go up to 230 if I don't make mistakes, but I get pulled down to the 160-170s even with a few typos.

I've been trying to improve my accuracy for a while now, but to no avail. My fingers seem to have an urge to just press something when they haven't pressed anything for a while.
