  • I edited several videos for work precisely 2-5 years ago and it was really good. That surprised me in the good sense because last time I tried it before that was like in 2010 and was rather funky, but so was my crappy laptop. And there’s been a while since that and since KDE brought it to attention and the fundraising and you name it and it seems it has improven even more. Maybe with time it can be another famous representative from KDE targeted towards content creation as now it is Krita.


    That being said, I just can’t take any “review” from a “normie” about FOSS stuff seriously because most of the time they come from a propietary software mindset.

    Take for example reviews about Inkscape or GIMP and you’ll find most of them mentioning “they’re not as usable as Photoshop/Illustrator”. So people expect any alternative to work exactly as their non-foss counterpart, which is absolutely ridiculous.





  • Well I wasn’t thinking about memory (and maybe that’s the reason some people downvoted that comment…) but because in my experience NetworkManager takes time starting at boot and with months/years it was taking more and more time. I reset it once and kept doing the same thing.

    As you said you’re planning on a home server kind of thing I’d think setting up a static ip is a good idea and NetworkManager is just an overkill for that - you could very well go along with Gentoo’s netifrc.






  • I know at some point in history there was talk about going to C++ but Linus brushed it off because he didn’t liked it. This time he thinks otherwise.

    So trying to get Linux into another language is no new talk.

    And Zig is becoming a thing. I do not know if it will be ever suitable for such task, but it seems like moving on from C or complementing C’s kernel development with Rust, Zig or whatever comes with the future is just a matter of time.

    It will not happen overnight as a fork will not happen overnight so the only way forward seems to be patience.






  • Couldn’t understand if the rims are made of steel or aluminium. I put Araya rims on my father’s bike when I started to use it and though they are sturdy and shiny they weren’t that great at braking and being trued. I wonder why they didn’t put the same disc brake system from the front wheel of the S1 in the front wheel of the S2. I liked the simplicity of rim brakes but mud and rain really wears quickly an aluminium rim - in my case disc brakes turned out to be more cost effective in the long haul - purging, disc pads and maybe even rotors vs rim pads, rims and truing wheels
