A small blurb from The Guardian on why Andres Freund went looking in the first place.

So how was it spotted? A single Microsoft developer was annoyed that a system was running slowly. That’s it. The developer, Andres Freund, was trying to uncover why a system running a beta version of Debian, a Linux distribution, was lagging when making encrypted connections. That lag was all of half a second, for logins. That’s it: before, it took Freund 0.3s to login, and after, it took 0.8s. That annoyance was enough to cause him to break out the metaphorical spanner and pull his system apart to find the cause of the problem.

claps and cheers

The plane was shot down in Russian airspace.

I thought I’d have to as well. Just got lucky.

There was no sound at all, and when I went to look at the tv before buying it, they turned it on to show zero pixel loss but didn’t have the volumn on. And I didn’t push it.

Got home, no sound, so searched the model and found the answer … a minor setting adjustment. I was super happy about that.

A win for me. \O/

I bought second-hand and got a wicked deal (cause they thought the audio was gone, but for me it a quick fix). :)

If I’m streaming a 4K the resolution is limited by my non-4K tv. Other than that the resolution is dictated by the stream itself (ie: some are DVD quality, some are low res for those who have poor bandwidth, etc).

Many of the streams I access show the size of the file stream so you can choose the best one for you.

My set-up doesn’t include a smart tv … I specifically stayed away from buying one because of the monitoring they can do on my usage.

So mine is a good LCD > HDMI’d to my laptop > running a good VPN > links to multiple streaming sources that offer everything from live sports to new movies/TV shows.

Been running this way for over 20 yrs now and it works for me.

Cool place to be. Our new home. 👍
