Open source dev, kernel, llvm, jvm, bunch of other shit.

Never came up with anything as bad as systemd.

Don’t talk shit if you don’t know, been doing software since the internet was dialup.

I’ve worked with both coreaudio and launchd.

They weren’t architected like trash, and actually did their jobs well.

If systemd was just like launchd that would be awesome, it’s not, then it took over half the linux userspace, badly.

No, nobody forces you to use emacs at gunpoint.

Not much, I have services that run both externally and only over wg.

Only issue with wg is sometimes I have to shut it off for things like multicastdns, or otherwise that try to look around the network or wifi.

A world war would involve multiple countries on both sides, dragged in by mutual ties and a recognition of which camp would have it in for them in victory.

This is hilarious. That anyone would stand up for Russia, one of the most hated states on the planet.

China especially, they would watch and wait till Russia was about to fail, and take their eastern territories, giving them both the land and resources they are so desperate for.

Russia is a country without meaningful allies (oh, I’m sorry, I forgot north Korea), in a world that hates them and wants to see them suffer for their past actions.

Poland alone would do anything for the chance to revisit Russia with a fraction of the pain they’ve caused over the centuries, and nobody would dare stop them.

This is inevitable, the Russian decline guarantees their predation and destruction at the hands of their growing neighbors.

Like I said, popcorn futures.

I’m excited for Russia seeing justice.

And a world War?

With Russia and whose army? Because theirs can’t handle Ukraine on their own. Their missiles explode on the launchpad, their submarines sink themselves, their only aircraft carrier has more Russian kills than enemy.

Oh, you honestly think China will save them? That’s absolutely adorable.

That shock therapy? That was their own oligarchs looting Russia wildly, which is why corruption has destroyed the Russian military so completely.

Russia has historically felt their only safety came from the perception by others that they were strong. That perception was utterly shattered by Ukraine, forever.

There is no way this turns out that is not disastrous for Russia, but then again I guess they just call that ‘history’. Personally I’m looking forward to it with anticipation.

Not thirsty for blood, thirsty for justice, as are much of Europe that were victims of Russian imperialism under the name of ‘buffer states’. Now those states are stronger than them and everyone is desperately eager to watch them suffer.

I could make a fortune selling popcorn in eastern Europe.

Russian hatred? We call that ‘being European’.

Fear, as a fellow Finn, might be a bit strong word, but it’s a definetly a concern.

I mean, if my country suffered through the Winter War, I’d consider that a very rational fear.

I’m sure Jews are pretty nervous around German hyper-nationalists too.

Edgy tweens being edgy.

I just smoked weed and … smoked weed.

I mean, I hate most Russians, but only since they invaded Ukraine.

Russia whines endlessly about ancient wrongs against them, the Finns have a lot to remember about Russia too.

Russophobia is the fear or hatred of Russia or people from Russia.

Ok, seems logical so far.

Linus is Finnish, maybe this is also a lesson: “Don’t brutalize random neighboring countries because in the future they might be in a position to fuck you in the ass.”?

I mean, the Winter War is kind of not a fond memory for them, though everybody loves some Sima Häyhä, one of the most righteous men of the 20th century.

To be fair, it was a controversial feature at the time, some people said it actually encouraged the development of btrfs as an alternative.

So VCN has caught up some, but QS is still faster, generally has better support and better codecs before VCN. Also has combinations, vainfo gives me something like 20 encoders on intel, 8 on amd, mostly stuff like 444 for each variant of hevc, etc. Also my 7600xt was more picky with which settings it would take, the intel block seems fairly comfortable with more.

My Xe has AV1 encode (at ludicrous speeds, I get 30x sometimes, it changed my flow entirely, I stream av1 only now), it’s had hevc well earlier than amd, and overall it’s usually a good bit faster (an intel igpu will usually encode faster than an amd dgpu).

Also quality has been reviewed to be better, feel free to google that, it’s apparently pretty marginal to human observers.

But like I said, the difference is nowhere like it was, AMD is catching up, software is coming together so vaapi covers most cases without complaint.

There’s no reason to consider the difference between them unless encoding is your primary focus, and you’re trying to use very modern codecs.

Basically.

I like the E and p cores, mostly because I used to do a lot of core architecture for supercomputer chips and this was one of my ideas I wanted to implement, fully heterogenous cores with Linux support for scheduling.

But no, there’s no reason to pick Intel, I only got it because it was cheap, and I don’t use it for gaming.

There is basically 1 reason to go Intel cpu: quicksync video encoding. Amd’s is fine but intel’s is the gold standard.

Otherwise definitely go amd, it rocks Nvidia perfectly.

Think I have the Intel version and absolutely adore it. Everything works, it’s a monster and plays as a solid workstation with a low-end thunderbolt 3 dock.
