Btw, not that it’s gonna change him or whatever, but discord works pretty well now, as well as on windows. You can share screen no problem Wayland/X11, audio is smooth and it basically works.

That’s the thing, Microsoft intentionally breaks formatting of files exported from libreoffice.

TFT and office, mostly. Libreoffice isn’t valid, mostly because Microsoft intentionally breaks their own formats, but yeah.

You don’t get hacking protection from bots, you get protection from DDoS attacks. Yeah some customers would have gone down, instead everyone went down… I said that instead of crashing the system they should have something that takes an intentional decision and informs properly about what’s happening. That decision might have been to clo

You can keep the policy and inform everyone much better about what’s happening. Half a day is a wild amount of downtime if it were properly managed.

Yes, bot detection is not the most critical…

So you agree that if this were controlled instead of open crahsing everything them being able to make an informed decision and opening or closing things, with the suggestion of opening in the case of not detection is the correct approach. What’s the point of your complaint if you do agree? C’mon.

They probably mean that they did a change in a config file that is uploaded in their weekly or bi-weekly change window, and that that file was malformed for whichever reason that made the process that reads it crash. The main process depends on said process, and all the chain failed.

Things to improve:

• make the pipeline more resilient, if you have a “bot detection module” that expects a file,and that file is malformed, it shouldn’t crash the whole thing: if the bot detection module crahses, control it, fire an alert but accept the request until fixed.
• Have a control of updated files to ensure that nothing outside of expected values and form is uploaded: this file does not comply with the expected format, upload fails and prod environment doesn’t crash.
• Have proper validation of updated config files to ensure that if something is amiss, nothing crashes and the program makes a controlled decision: if file is wrong, instead of crashing the module return an informed value and let the main program decide if keep going or not.

I’m sure they have several of these and sometimes shit happens, but for something as critical as CloudFlare to not have automated integration tests in a testing environment before anything touches prod is pretty bad.

I never found using endeavour any more trouble than using Ubuntu or fedora, and I’ve used both in school or work so, my question back to you, why do people choose corporate coded distros like fedora or Ubuntu when easy to use, up to date and free as in freedom distros like endeavour exist?

I’m going extra silly: why do you wear bikinis when swimsuits exist? Dunno, preferences. People have them.

I guess that eu-west-1 counts as Europe for them.

Fyi, “AI” has been used in medicine research for decades. GenAI is the one that’s wonky. I’d be surprised and sceptical of any researcher that would suggest genAI as the star tool when there are so many predictive ML models that already work so well…

They knew about it because they implied in the second that that the first would pass in the current administration because they are that dumb. They know.

Sending gif trying to look smart while missing the obvious point is kinda embarrassing ngl.

Reread their comment, they know.

It’s crazy the amount of people that didn’t get your comment. You might want to clarify… XD

We use it at work to access remote GUI work environments, VDI. It’s forcing all the Linux users to swap to windows 11 computers, it’s baaad.

In the context of twitch I never thought of a phone… I guess I’m too much of a filthy gamer.

Using OBS’s virtual camera and sharing a n image or video of some older person is gonna become a thing…

If I were forced to I would consider doing that before allowing the webpage to see my actual face wtf.

The famous bad flicker or ghosting of frames is a famous issue in Wayland caused by the desynchronization of frames. Around 2 years ago they patched the driver to let the system tell it explicitly how to sync the frames, and most Linux systems should have the drivers updated to work as such. Since them I’ve not had any flickering like that. A great example was Dragons Dogma 2, the flickering was insane but fixed by the patch.

I’ve been in Wayland since KDE 6.0 and I’ve a 3080. I think that’s like 2 years now. And I game A LOT.

3080 with minor issues. Minor being fucking MH: Wilds is coded like a fucking potato. Funnily enough the performance is better than on windows lmao. But there are some shader issues.

Besides that and some minor hiccups like PoE2 crashing on Vulkan (they let you pick between Vulkan or dx12) before they patched it, games generally just work.

Iirc, explicit sync was an issue for Wayland because how X11 worked meant that the driver had enough info to implicitly do the sync, and I’ve been on X11 using NVIDIA with very minor issues before swapping to Wayland.

In any case, I agree that the drivers’ compatibility has been improved a lot in the last years, I love explicit sync.

Biggest being pretty low for some years now. It works perfectly fine for the vast majority of games. Some heat my GPU more than on windows but who cares.

So was unlocking the taskbar and dragging it to the left side of the screen, now you literally can’t. Apparently you can modify it via registry but half the buttons stop working because it isn’t designed for that.

Crazy that that was what made me switch years ago…

That’s the sentiment that allows these rich fucks to avoid paying taxes without big backlash. First focus on collecting, then on spending…
