  • This is speculation:

    I think a lot of it is temporarily leased or loaned. i was watching a retrobytws video recently, cant remember the exact name. but it was about this console that was ‘designed for girls’ (read what old men in suits think teenage girls want). He said a lot of.yputubers have made videos on it, but console is actually pretty rare. One or two people own pne amd loan it out to others for their videos.

    Also auctioning. I gotta imagine some of it can be flipped.

    Maybe donated to a museum.

    That’s just me speculatong tho.

    Hmmm, that’s a lot to go over in there. I have family sharing setup with, let’s say, my found family. There are a lot of improvements listed, but also many things I’m worried about.

    The one year period of waiting after leaving one seems excessive. I hope they have good separation of the logical family and the physical pc’s, It’s really annoying to resetup stuff with my partner every time one of us installs a different linux distro.

    I understand why they’re doing the ban sharing, but it’s still funny.








  • bcache is inherently designed to be an ssd cache that sits in front of slower bigger disks. Bcachefs is an extension of this into it’s own filesystem. iirc the words of the bcache creator were: ‘we’ve implemented 80% of a filesystem here, might as well go the rest of the way’. So how much it thrashes a disk is based on what position you give it in the architecture. The caching ssds are going to be used heavily, taking advantage of their fast random access to manage all random accesses, while sequential operations generally go to the slower disk that’s set as the background device. The background disks will tend to be accessed less.

    So yeah, it’s based on what kind of disk and position in the bcache, and what caching options you enable. If you want to look into it further, bcache is fs agnostic, so if you can find some tests that have been done for bcache enabled for classic linux filesystems, like ext4 and xfs, that include hardware degradation info, you’ll probably end up with similar usage and hardware wear with the actual bcachefs.



  • there’s a group called johncena141 who do linux specific repacks. They put the windows game in a dwarfs read only compressed archive, and then have an editable layer on top of it where saves and changes get written. The windows games are put into a wine wrapper and then you can run them while they’re still compressed. It’s pretty cool, but can be a bit finicky. Getting dwarfs installed can be a pain depending on your system. I find their stuff can be very hit or miss, but I like that they exist.

    Besides that, ymmv with all the other repacks. Sometimes fitgirl works fine for me, sometimes it fucks up completely. Same goes for dodi. though I’ve found dodi to be a bit more reliable on wine than fitgirl.

    That’s my two cents on stuff.




  • I have made a python script and ran it on a clone of your git repo to confirm it works, simply run it at the root directory of wherever the files are, it will walk through and find module.json and do the replace.

    #!/usr/bin/env python3
    
    import re
    import os
    
    import fileinput
    
    pattern = re.compile(r'(?P\.+)\"compatibility\":{\"minimum\":\"(?P\\d+)\",\"verified\":\"(?P\\d+)\"},(?P\.+)')
    
    def make11(match):
        if match.groupdict().get('min', None) and match.groupdict().get('ver', None):
            return f"{match.groupdict()['pre']}\"compatibility\":{{\"minimum\":\"11\",\"verified\":\"11\"}},{match.groupdict()['post']}"
    
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk("."):
        for file in files:
            if file == "module.json":
                for line in fileinput.input(f"{root}/{file}", inplace=True):
                    print(re.sub(pattern, make11, line))
    

    edit: lemmy is fucking with the formatting and removing the fucking regex group names, which will bork it. I’ve tried fixing it, dm me if you want me to send a downloadable link to the script
