For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

I can't share any more information at this time, so please don't ask for more details. Thank you.

If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don't. Please don't make assumptions. Thank you.

I'm safe physically, but I'll be taking some time off in general to focus on my health.

Well that's sudden.

This week we’ve been monitoring the TestFlight of version 25.03.2 which is our first build of the app with Rust’s event cache enabled. There have been numerous fixes in the SDK following all of the feedback we received and we’re planning to make a second TestFlight next week with all of these fixes incorporated.

The Event Cache (matrix_sdk::event_cache) is a new API that stores all your events. It now supports lazy-loading, and thus provides an improved offline support, but also a much faster user experience. Before adding more features, we are tackling the last bugs. And, oh, how nasty they are. We can group the patches in a couple of categories.

Old devices? Low-end devices? You're in our hearts and you're not forgotten! A couple of patches improve the performance and reduce the memory usage greatly!

The memory usage of a Client has been reduced by a factor of 65'536 times

SqliteEventCacheStore is 35 times faster, yup, you read it well

Fastbackgroundcheck. com says there's info on me on truthfinder, spokeo, peoplefinders and instantcheckmate. When I try going through all four of those sites takes a super long time, including a few times in the past when I tried getting reports on myself.

The progress bars reach 100% and reset continously. If these sites are legimate like some reddit users claim, then why or be upfront about wanting me to pay? Right now I'm convinced that these sites are snake oil, maybe they work if you pay but the behavior of the free options turn me off. They act 100% like typical scam websites, the kind that asks you to complete three surveys on external sites with fake progress bars.

Basic info like my full name, address, age, and siblings can be found with search engines easily but I feel like there's no point in trying to wipe it if there aren't methods that could definitely work.

I made this Python menu-driven CLI script for yt-dlp. It guides you through a series of menus to download content from a YouTube URL.

If anyone is interested, feedback would be greatly appreciated as only I have tested this so far, and I want to make sure it works for other people's systems.

If you encounter any issues or bugs, let me know so I can fix them!

I regret nothing. Say what you want.

Edit: I just saw the two typos. If you find them, you're welcome to keep them.

Researchers at Harvard Business School and University of Toronto used unique data to quantify the value of open source.

Takeways:

• Supply-side (cost to recreate) is ~$4.15B, but demand-side (value to firms) is $8.8T. Shows massive cost savings & productivity boost from OSS.
• If OSS didn't exist, firms would need to spend an estimated 3.5 times more on software than they currently do. OSS provides a massive, often invisible, productivity boost.
• A tiny fraction of OSS developers create the vast majority of value. Only 5% of developers are responsible for over 96% of the demand-side value
• Firms should not just "free ride" on OSS but actively contribute to the ecosystem, as this is far cheaper than recreating the software themselves.

I wrote this implementation many years ago, but I feel it didn’t receive the recognition it deserved, especially since it was the first freely available. So, better late than never—I’d like to present it here. It’s an algorithm for computing the Weighted Voronoi Diagram, which extends the classic Voronoi diagram by assigning different influence weights to sites. This helps solve problems in computational geometry, geospatial analysis, and clustering, where sites have varying importance. While my implementation isn’t the most robust, I believe it could still be useful or serve as a starting point for improvements. What do you think?

I’ve recently discovered nixos containers and was wondering if there where any pros/cons of running them vs. Docker containers. Like if one needs to run a containerised service, would it be better to run it as a nixos container or a docker container in terms of resource consumption? And are there any limitations of each approach?

Plebbit is pure peer-to-peer social media protocol, it has no central servers, no global admins, and no way shut down communities-meaning true censorship resistance.

Unlike federated platforms, like lemmy and Mastedon, there are no instances or servers to rely on

this project was created due to wanting to give control of communication and data back to the people.

Plebbit only hosts text. Images from google and other sites can be linked/embedded in posts. This fixes the issue of hosting any nefarious content.

ENS domain are used to name communities.

Plebbit currently offers different UIs. Old reddit UI and new reddit, 4chan, and have a Blog. Plebbit intend to have an app, internet archive, wiki and twitter and Lemmy UI . Choice is important. The backend/communities are shared across clients.

anyone can contribute, build their own client, and shape the ecosystem

It happens all the time, a maintainer quits/abandons some opensource project due to economic realities. There are comics, jokes, threads, and so on about what the realities of maintaining opensource software are and that most people are not willing to donate or contribute in any way besides opening issues.

There is a lot of resistance to stuff like the business source license, but people do have to earn a living somehow. Doing so with opensource would be amazing. In lieu of the contested licence, could a template similar to Reminna's actually work? Basically "pay to get this fixed/implemented, make a PR, or it's low priority/ 'I will get to it when I get to it'".
