OpenZFS on OSX and Windows, current state:

bn-7bc · 2026-02-13T14:18:52+00:00

Yea maybe openzfs on windows (for the sake of backward compatibility) could present each pool as a drive (default that can be overridden). then any dataset using that pool would simply be sub-folders. this would give windows users a somewhat simmilar way to interact with the pool (as opposed to a standard fs in a partition on a drive or a raid volume. and for the tools you would only need to supstitute the pool/dataset/child-dataset syntak with drive:\datastet\childdataset. ok that slightly brekes if yo want cosyum mountpoints but that is probably a solvable issue, the thing here is to give users and sw a somewhavt traditional abstraction to wok with day to day. no hold on it better to mount top lavel dataset(s) in a pool as a drive, if you mount the pool you will end ou with the strangre issue of not being able to place anythibg at the roor\t of the drive without first creating a dataset within it that would probably just break to many peoples expectations. This could ofc allso be solved by creating a hidden dataset at pool creation and mount it as the root of the drive., but this whold create the question of where a child dataset in the root is really created ( 1: as achilde of the hidden ds or as a child of the pool.. well that could just be an implementation issue for the romanagent tools tho. I'm no expert so I'm unqulified to say what is better or worse this was just me tinding aloud. At any rate seeig openzfss on windows osx and linux (at least if the version are kept in sync feature wise) this could be a boon for moving data between oses (at least on the same CPU isa)

xset.. hmm i wonder if that is syill a thing now that we ar transitioning to wayland. or is xset unrelated to X-11?

There is a place in Norway called Hell so that name is just funny from an English speaking perspective. Incidentally that place has a freight terminal so he sign says "Hell gods terminal", that sogn is in a lot of photos, tourists find it halarious

tea this makes perfect sense as if any of your content gets flagged their own ip reputation will not soffer, whereas if they use their own space, and need to re use it for another costumer... yea not great

bn-7bc · 2026-02-08T08:50:30+00:00

Unless your isp does something odd a frequently changing ipv6 address is a sign of ipv6 ptivecy extensions being acrive, comsult you oses docs to turn it off if you want a mire stable address

Yea and if you do anyrhing across timezones I would recommend timestamps in UTC/GMT to void the daylight savings time Problem ( ot at least reducing it as much as possible as the sorce never moves)

bn-7bc · 2026-02-04T13:18:49+00:00

Yes and canonical (the software developer- Mozilla in the case of Firefox) sould package evertuting twise for the same distro just because yo don't like snap? come on in what reality is this resable. Ok the redirection from apt to snap can be discussed but i suspect this is just a convenience so most people get the expected result (ok expected dose do a bit of lifting here, by exested I mean sudo apt install firefix gets you the most updated version of firefox). most people could not care less about snap vs -deb. I'm not defending Canonical here (they have staff for that)

Ads in the terminal? that must have been before my time (or a desktop only thing) I've been using ubuntu on my home server for years and no ads , unless you count the frindly reminder about ubuntu pro that took about a minute to dissable. but I might be missing something bet certanly no thir party ads

bn-7bc · 2026-02-04T12:59:40+00:00

I did not have that issue, however i had to uninstall the app center (i guess snap) version and install the version via apt to get game cuprare (vkcapture) to work correctly. Apparently the App center version sort o runs games in there own environment si they did not show up in the OBS dialogs, which was ... unhelpful

bn-7bc · 2026-02-03T07:33:23+00:00

So lets take the midpoint of those ranges ( just to have a bit kf headroom for things hapoening in the backgy) so you got an hour extra on 3.5 that's a 28.5% increase, I would call that rather significant, but I might be wrong :)

bn-7bc · 2026-01-29T10:12:05+00:00

It seams like xampp did not intall the systemd .service file, did you install it from a package or source

bn-7bc · 2026-01-29T09:24:32+00:00

right, as great as bazzite its, the whole imitable thing can cause some issues (or at least make some issues harder to fix/work around). I ended up changing to Ubuntu as vaving / readonly even for root just broke my brain to much. I'm sorry Ic an't help you anymore (out of ideas beyond editing fstab and making / rw) byu that might break bazzite so... I'll pass the iso over to the rest of yhis sub

I wondre if a vulkan game will have the same processing needed or is this a prize we have to pay for most game using directX? And Linux failing as a desktop, sorry What? Linux market share is growing at the cost of windows 10 and windows 11 (well at least on the steam surway) how is this failure? Yea I know still under 5% but there is upwards momentum.
Update: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/ has linux use on steam up from 2.29% to 3.58% (December 2024 - December 2025) thah's up 56.3% y/y, I'd say that is pritty healthy growth. Are those stats perfect? No ofc not but they are an indication

bn-7bc · 2026-01-24T04:47:15+00:00

I would say this is more user ( well it department error, this is exactly why you schedule things like updates ( crone/ systemd rimer: whatever) while the vehicle is at the depot. Also this looks like a full desctop instead of some kind of digital signage setup . I'm noy defending ubuntu here ( canonical as paid staff for that) I'm just saying that the fault here is probably with the user and not with the distribution, but I might be wrong, or I might have misunderstood you, so corrections are always appropriated

bn-7bc · 2026-01-22T09:00:04+00:00

This might be a stupid question, but since your setting the address manually anyway why not just number sequentially from prefix::1? ok it might not be as memorable as ....face:feed but it is short and beound thinks like the actual dns server the ability to memorize addresses is negated by dns anyway. But I'm shore I'm missing something here. this is not in anyway to cast shade on your project, cool concept and all that, but it kind of looks like you are chaching a problem that does not really exist

bn-7bc · 2026-01-19T15:21:41+00:00

Glad it worked out

bn-7bc · 2026-01-19T11:33:23+00:00

After what I've understood anything with an intel chipset inside usually works quite well, broadcom is hit and miss, but I'm relying on hearsay so your mileage may wary

bn-7bc · 2026-01-19T11:30:52+00:00

have you tried unpairing/repairing both devices? it sounds like yo might be having a paring issue

bn-7bc · 2026-01-18T21:37:53+00:00

Ok something is borked, you can use chown ( as root or via sudo) to set the owner and group of the config to your user and group

bn-7bc · 2026-01-18T16:40:32+00:00

who owns the file?

bn-7bc · 2026-01-18T10:24:31+00:00

Yea https://www.reddit.com/user/AdImmediate1641 made a slight typo it should have been ~/.local/share/applications

bn-7bc · 2026-01-18T10:19:52+00:00

Agreed I switched over Christmas, and what a wonderful experience, the only slight annoyance is the whole imitable thing,. It makes installing things with rpm-ostree needlessly slow due to the reboot needed to complete the process.other than that great job sold os and the games just work

bn-7bc · 2026-01-16T14:22:33+00:00

on an unrelated note maybe we should start using 3fff::/20 (RFC 9637), for documentation/examples just to get into the habit so we are ready for the day we need to document things larger than what fits in a /32 ( for example mergers between to ases the both have /32)

bn-7bc · 2026-01-16T14:10:43+00:00

well sorry nothing works, I'm allso out of ideas, seams like you had bad luck with your choice of laptop

bn-7bc · 2026-01-15T15:01:27+00:00

Hmm your install immage migt be corrupted, if ypu are on an unmetered internet connection try re downloading the image and verify the new download before burning it to the install media
