This is not true, many are moving to OFTC. But the obvious answer is, Libera is run by the ex-freenode staffers, and runs on the same software. (Unlike OFTC) So Libera is basically…

> XMPP & Matrix bridge together fairly well these days. I want to test this claim. After an hour of google searching I'm none the wiser: 1. Can I bridge private messages, or just M…

Sounds exactly like my experience trying to reintegrate into society.

This is what you get for using Slack. Meanwhile, IRC still works fine.

Well, one question we could ask is why basically every single popular open source multimedia project (FFmpeg, x264, MPC-HC/madVR, mpv, avisynth/VapourSynth, MVtools/SVP, heck even …

SMPlayer can barely even be considered an mpv front-end and I hope nobody who uses it will ever make an mpv bug report again. It's a gigantic pile of hacks from the MPlayer age, an…

I believe you are misunderstanding the issue. Nobody is trying to argue that 4:2:0 video looks objectively superior to 4:4:4 video if given a free choice. Obviously, full chroma in…

I'm not actually sure. In retrospect, I'm not sure what ‘DCT without quantizing’ really means, since the output of the cosines are probably real numbers? I guess the interpretation…

> what i think of as undershooting or overshooting is relative to the range... and besides that, what is wrong with clamping? its how computer graphics has always had to deal with …

> Chroma subsampling isn't going anywhere. You'll usually get subjectively better quality with 4:2:0 chroma compared to 4:4:4 at the same bitrate. And this means you can't have eve…

This comment is pretty much what I was going for. I've reworded it to make it clearer. The issue you can run into in practice is stuff like softsubbed signs, which can clash and lo…

In the car analogy, the car crashing is the equivalent of the programmer introducing a bug. The adversary is out of the picture here - you want to write your kernel in a way that m…

I still think the title is misleading. Compare: “A TCP weakness in Linux systems allows ...” vs “A TCP weakness allows ... on Linux systems” Technically, it's not just Linux that's…

There's always the option of running certbot in certonly mode - in fact, that's what I do for the majority of my setups (mostly because certbot doesn't support nginx).

On second thought, block devices are sort of sketchy for this use case - but FUSE still seems like a perfectly natural way to export networked storage. I'd expect a backup hierarch…

Those patches are for running the nvidia kernel driver in a PaX-enabled kernel. It doesn't help you protect the actual libGL.so, which my concern was about. (Indeed, I have to use …

That implies running Windows, though. My biggest problem with GPU drivers is that they stick out like a sore thumb on a hardened system. All the protection and isolation in the wor…

I wonder if these numbers would change if one included sexting. I have a feeling that a growing portion of both relationships and sexual activities are being held over the internet…

Wait, wouldn't that be standard? I've never used online backup, but I would naively assume that Linux would just have a block device or FUSE driver for these things. How can that n…

I think a better way to look at it is not the chance of total data loss, but the expected running cost over time. Even with just RAID6 it's hard to imagine a scenario in which you …

> Which are ...? I'm not an expert, but I wonder if this means you could restrict GPU access to the master process only (for the sake of hardware-accelerated compositing) without n…

While I don't think the URL shortening matters too much, there's still another important attribute of using these shortlinks that manifests itself on youtube: They also omit irrele…

This feature already exists and you don't need a button for it. It's part of HTML metadata, specifically the tag. You could either provide some sort of button to your browser to pl…

I always copy/paste the URL when I want to share a website. That's what the URL is meant for. Heck, it's easier to copy the URL (using the keyboard) than it is to use the mouse to …
