Not enough info. What are you trying to actually accomplish here? If you're stress testing and trying to measure how fast a server can process all those requests, use something like jmeter. You can tell it to do 100 concurrent threads with 10000 requests each, then call it a day.

Bluetooth sucks on all platforms. It may be worse on Linux, but given how often my coworkers on Mac and Windows have audio issues it meetings, not by much.

Get a good set of RF wireless headphones and only use Bluetooth when you're traveling.

I have a friend with ADHD who is struggling with burnout at work right now, and I realized the same thing has happened to me (autism) at pretty much every job I've had before my current one. After a while (a few months to a few years) the workplace politics becomes unbearable, or culture becomes too toxic, or managers straight up ignore our feedback.

So what do you do to prevent emotional burnout at work? Or have you found a job that doesn't burn you out?

Edit: Y'all, your responses are making me want to create a neurodivergent commune where we just do whatever we want.

I frequently switch between audio outputs (headset for calls and focused gaming, speakers for other use). I installed an audio switcher applet to make changing that easier and faster. But cosmic is perfect for me other than that.

I joined a team years ago where everyone would catch exceptions then throw a different exception in the catch, swallowing the original. Sometimes these were nested many layers. Troubleshooting was a nightmare.

I spent a week deleting all of them and told everybody that "try" was now a forbidden word outside of entry points.

Games like Baldur's Gate assume you have at least some DnD experience. I remember playing Neverwinter Nights for the first time long ago and being really glad I played one session of DnD before it.

I have a cache drive in my NAS for reads, thinking about putting a second drive in there so I can have a read/write cache array. It makes a huge difference over just having spinning rust. I'd love an all-flash array, but 36TB of SSD would be very expensive right now.

Note to others reading this: If your main use case is gaming (or anything other than storing/processing buttloads of data), I'd suggest just getting a bigger pcie3 drive instead of a faster pcie4/5 drive. Going with a faster drive won't be a noticeable difference, but having 2-3x the capacity (for the same price) will help.

The scheduler is limited but it can still schedule across all the threads and cores in a given system. It's just doing it less efficiently. The headline is misleading.

The f150 is huge, unnecessarily huge. But still better than this thing yes. I wish somebody would make an electric truck or ute the size of an old Ranger or S10.

This thing was announced over 4 years ago. Tesla has been taking preorders for 4 years. It's a little late to change the agreement. Then again, I can't imagine ordering this thing 4 years ago and still wanting it after everything Elon has done.

Desktop or laptop? Do you need peripherals included? Honestly for under $500 I'd highly suggest looking at refurbished machines. You'll be able to pick up an off-lease Dell or Lenovo or HP system for < $300.

I'd guess all the amd64/x86 boards? Udoo and LattePanda have boards that would meet that criteria. You're going to step into a new price bracket running AMD or Intel though.

 

Anybody else having this issue (attached screenshot). Landscape mode is fine. I'm guessing this is an upstream issue. Text alignment is all over the place.

Eta: this is in Firefox on Android

 

Finally getting some (closer to) mainstream video cards from AMD. Still feels overpriced but a lot better than $750 for a 7900xt.

 

Heads up if you're using Alpine images to host your services or run build pipelines. Alpine's packages are going to be less current unless some others maintainers are found to pick up the slack.

 

It was me. I'm just excited that I published something and wanted to tell somebody about it. Especially something that might actually be useful to people (instead of just used by other businesses). It's not often I'm let out of the data warehouse cage these days.

Here it is in case anybody else needs an app to remind them about all the stuff they have laying around that needs to be constantly maintained.

I also made the satire app Antifa Recruiter a while back and updated it today. Just in case you need something to pull out at family gatherings.

Anybody else create anything fun or useful this week? Or does anybody have any constructive feedback on Maintain that could make it more useful?

 

AMD is releasing (what appears to be, still need all the reviews to come in) a beast of a mobile processor. 16 cores, 32 threads, and 128MB of L3 cache.
