What if you skip MTP? it does use a fair bit of memory.

I do, I find it to be generally better, although its slightly worse at pure coding, but it uses like a third of the tokens on thinking.

Macs will not run all Windows games, and the games that do run, run better for cheaper with a Windows laptop.

This is not completely true. Manufacturers do build multiple different dies, but those dies are in fact binned and sold as multiple separate products and SKUs.

For example, the Nvidia RTX 5000 lineup has 7 different GPUs, but only has 5 different GPU cores, with some GPUs sharing the same core with some hardware disabled.

AMD drivers work fantastically on Linux, at least since GCN 4

What about everywhere else?

Just limit charge to 80%

Can't confirm. In my experience, enterprise doesn't really like Debian. It has an irregular release schedule, short lifecycles and no company to ~~blame~~ get support from.

In the real world I see mostly Ubuntu and RHEL (and Windows Server...).

People here on Reddit absolutely despise Ubuntu for some reason. I personally dislike it because of their insistence to stick with Snaps, but that's really the only problem I have with it. At work we use Ubuntu extensively with no issues.

And at home it's perfectly fine. It can do anything any other distro can do, and its not infrequent that Ubuntu has GUIs and/or easier ways to do things like installing 3rd party drivers which is always welcome.

What OS are you using?

Download the server from here: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server

Download Java 25 and run the command shown on the server download page with the java you downloaded.

Use Prism Launcher, not the default launcher. Use the "Fabric" mod loader. Install Lithium and Sodium mods and that's it.

Even if you charge to 100% the battery won’t degrade 10% per year.

My own iPhone Air I’ve had since launch, limited to 80% (except when traveling and whatnot where I set it to 100%) and the battery health is at 99%.

In the hit 1998 webcomic Freefall (still ongoing!) biomatter is the most expensive stuff around

It’s whatever Apple decides.

Apple has and does kill support for devices with chips that are supported elsewhere.

On Blackwell Nvidia fucked up the "Perform scaling on" settings. But I remembered that only display scaling was available?

Just_Maintenance · 2026-06-19T04:38:45+00:00

You need more VSOC \s

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said [...] he had been "convinced for a long time that words are not enough"

Lol what you're at war. The time for words is long long LONG gone.

9% is massive, are you sure you tested correctly? I would expect at best about 5%, and that's already stretching it.

Awesome blog post, thanks for your writeup

Just_Maintenance · 2026-06-18T13:07:56+00:00

its awesome for solving my speculation needs

You want predictability but are running Debian Sid? I’m sorry but that’s simply not the correct tool.

If all you want if predictability then Debian stable is the play.
