What exactly is the deal with DragonflyBSD? Is it still being used and where?

>>107900604
Matt Dillon (iirc his name) was not happy with the FreeBSD's SMP implementation and he believed he could make it better, so he forked freebsd 5 and implemented his message passing SMP

He also had interesting ideas, namely the hammer fs and the virtual kernels capabilities

To this day it seems that freebsd caught up dbsd performances (and also ended up being better)

The ideas are (were?) interesting on paper but lacks of men-power makes it look like it's virtually stagnating at this point


Essentially
> documenation is not comparable to other bsds (last time I checked there were graphs from 2012) and the "handbook" still had a lot of sections TBDed
> Performance wise it loses systematically to freebsd
> Hammer looks like it's "almost ready" since forever

i'm currently using a 21:9 2560x1080 75hz monitor, i'm thinking of buying a 1440 145hz monitor, is it worth making the switch or is ultrawide that superior?

Reminds me of that story about Henry Ford, where he had a broken equipment in one of his factories and asked an accomplished electronics repairmen to fix it. The dude listened to the machine with a stethoscope for 3 days while taking notes, then made a chalk mark on one of the walls and told the engineers to change the coil that's under that panel. Then billed Ford $10000 (this was 100 years ago, so it was like asking for 1 million dollars today).
Ford then asked a detailed breakdown of the costs, and the dude gave a bill that was like
>chalk (used) - $1
>knowing where to draw the chalk mark - $9999

it did fix the machine mind you.

Maybe there is a way to automatically do that, but the results will be pretty bad, like >>107850751 said. I think it would be better to do it manually for each theme. modus-themes provides a couple of bg-<color> color values that are good for this. For standard-light theme it would be something like
(modus-themes-with-colors
(custom-set-faces
`(font-lock-keyword-face
((,c :foreground ,fg-main :background ,bg-magenta-subtle)))
`(font-lock-function-name-face
((,c :foreground ,fg-main :background ,bg-blue-subtle)))
`(font-lock-string-face
((,c :foreground ,fg-main :background ,bg-red-subtle)))
`(font-lock-comment-face
((,c :foreground ,fg-main :background ,(color-lighten-name red-faint 100))))))

and so on for each font-lock face, adjusting each color to your liking with `color-lighten-name' or `color-desaturate-name' for example.

Whats the fastest table data display in emacs, packages included?. Will I need to make my own?

By pitching a fit and making it so you have to add dynamic rules in uBOL using dNR syntax directly instead of normal ABP/AdGuard syntax, he has accidentally exposed the hostname redirect functionality he previously explicitly eschewed from uBO, having cited phishing risks. He accidentally made uBOL more powerful than uBO and you don't need a separate redirect extension. Even in his bad-faith porting efforts he's ironically too lazy to keep up the artificial restrictions. What a fucking retarded manbaby.

So, I drew this character for my game (only the first sprite), and then I managed to prompt nano-banana do do the rest. That took so many retries that I won't be able to generate the rest any more.
I also tried with img2img ComfyUI + IllustriousXL, but it didn't really went well like with nano-banana.
Now I wonder if there are any more practical ways on creating sprite sheets. I mean, I can draw the first sprite, but I would need a way of "telling" the AI to complete the rest of the characters.
I tried some of the guides on the OP but they weren't really that helpful for this (or maybe I missed something along the way).
Any where else I can look for more info on this? Searching the internet I only found people trying to sell their own AI platform, I don't want that! I have a pretty good GPU, I just need some guidance on workflow. Thank you in advance.

there's really not a ton to say about this one. it just helps to implement the necessary signal trampoline to restore state after executing a signal handler. but i guess that alone is pretty interesting. related, and perhaps more interesting, is https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man0/setjmp.h.0p.html

DAYUM

For the past year I have unfortunately gone down the rabbit hole as a noob in the realm of privacy, security and all that stuff.

Because I broke my former computer I ended up getting a novacustom laptop with HAP disabled IME, no bluetooth and wifi modules, no physical webcam or mic, no windows (I opted for Debian), and LUKS disk encryption. Also an assload of unreasonably long passwords on all my accounts, hardware security keys in physical vaults etc.

But recently I have been thinking this would be pretty problematic if I suddenly lose my memory or if I died suddenly, for my family to access any of my stuff.

I am questioning it all, it seems kinda more trouble than it is worth. Surely the secret police still has it all backdoored. And at the end of the day I am just a regular guy.

The (un)fortunate reality is that if you're indeed a "regular guy", then the secret police simply does not give a shit about you and the best thing you can do to secure your privacy is continuing to stay off their radar.
Otherwise, this man here >>107901568 is 100% correct. Unless you have some valid answers to the questions in his post, all you're doing is tickling your own paranoia, and you should probably know best if that's worth all the trouble.

It sounds like you've done your research and probably know more than me so take everything I'm about to say with a grain of salt, but >>107901568 is correct. I would try and identify who you're worried about and what you're trying to protect.
While you're figuring out what that is, don't go looking for trouble and you'll probably be okay.
In fact, it may be better to use technology less/abstain from it completely in a use case if the tech itself is something you're worried about.

Anyone familiar with bloghandy/powr…

How does the ‘post limit’ work on these blog sites for example, on the free plan. It says ‘5 total blog posts’.

Does that mean your entire blog can only have posts then you have to upgrade? Or like the basic plan is 50 posts…so if you make 10 posts a week, your blog is just finished after 5 weeks or you pay more? Or is it just saying that’s what will be displayed and after 5 it gets archived? Appreciate it frens.
