Karbon (aka Xed): an advanced text editor for Android that is not affiliated with KDE in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago

For a second I didn't not get why you'd want to point out to not be affiliated with KDE so explicitly... Then I read the name again. I'm not seeing it anymore man. They have broken me...

What can I do in other Linux distros that I can't do in Linux Mint Xfce? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Compared to Arch(-based): Accesing the latest packages. It's not impossible, especially if you go for Debian testing repos, but it's definitely extra work.

Compared to special-purpose distros (i.e. gaming, portable, high security/privacy, pen-testing): Whatever their special purpose is will usually be harder to achieve.

Compared to huge corpo distros (SUSE/Fedora and derivatives): Ease of more intricate setups and maybe some security testing.

Compared to Ubuntu: Paying a corporation to not withhold security patches from you.

(In Python) Can you save an object that is in memory to disk and reload it at a later time? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

You can stuff all the info into an object and use it this way, no problem. I just wanted to point out that this doesn't have zero performance impact compared to what you currently have.

So (depending on how your OS caches files) you might not want to do this like twice in a lambda that you pass to an iterator over a huge slice or something.

I think pickle is what you want.

Keep in mind that this might have a huge performance impact if you do it all the time - it's still IO even when it's not parsing.

How to use KDE Connect with a VPN on Android? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Ich think you need to turn the blocker off. It seems to block anything not going through the VPN, even if the VPN allows to configure exceptions.

I would say if it serves a purpose, helps you to drive a point across, go ahead.

But don't make any other slide a meme please.

KDE's New Distro: Btrfs-Based, Immutable Linux OS, with Flatpak and Snap in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Ingl, this sounds like exactly the thing I want. Immutability aside, this is how I use EndeavourOS right now, but more sophisticated.

I'm sold on it.

I'd be much more exited for vertical tabs and tab groups. As much as I hate to say it, but IMO only Edge really go it right with their tab game

Your android is getting slower? Ingl, I never noticed something like this in the past ~14 years of android.

Seagate Skyhawk HDDs faulty / low quality? (lemmy.world)

Hey, so I have brand new HDDs I intend to put in a btrfs software RAID. They're Seagate ST4000VX016-3CV104 4TB Skyhawks. Workload is basically write and forget, I will probably never delete a thing.

However I decided to test them first and noticed that after writing about 160 GB, some SMART counters have gone up significantly. Read error rate went from 6.632 to 90.238.872 for example (seemingly all correct by hardware ECC), seek error rate from 143 to 87.661.

Am I reading things correctly? This does not seem like the way healthy drives should behave, does it? It similar on all of them tho. Are they just trash-tier drives they somehow got to work with ECC?
