Ended up getting a Kobo Elipsa 2E myself a while back, and it's been a real pleasure to use. There's no stupid device-level DRM on it to try and prevent me from actually using it for my reading, and the onboard storage is just a simple microSD so it's really easy to upgrade if I want to fit even more books.

KOReader has been a real treat to run on it, letting me sync books from my home NAS over WebDav, push books directly to it over scp, I've even been poking at a plugin to have it automatically sync books off of a local reading tracker I've written.

Seems to work with my personal setup at least, with two libraries - the default on ~/.local/share/steam, and one on /mnt/storage/steam - and Stardew Valley installed in the secondary storage library

You're lucky to not have to deal with some of this hardware then, because it really feels like there are manufacturers who are determined to rediscover as many solved problems as they possibly can.

Got to spend way too much time last year with a certain piece of HPC hardware that can sometimes finish booting, and then sit idle at the login prompt for almost half a minute before the onboard NIC finally decides to appear on the PCI bus.
The most 'amusing' part is that it does have the onboard NIC functional during boot, since it's a netbooted system. It just seems to go into some kind of hard reset when handing over to the OS.

Of course, that's really nothing compared to a couple of multi-socket storage servers we have, which sometime drop half the PCI bus on the floor when under certain kinds of load, requiring them to be unplugged from power entirely before the bus can be used again.

The predictable interface naming has solved a few issues at work, mainly in regards to when we have to work with expensive piece-of-shit (enterprise) systems, since they sometimes explode if your server changes interface names.
Normally wouldn't be an issue, but a bunch of our hardware - multiple vendors and all - initialize the onboard NIC pretty late, which causes them to switch position almost every other boot.

I've personally stopped caring about interface names nowadays though, I just use automation to shove NetworkManager onto the machine and use it to get a properly managed connection instead, so it can deal with all the stupid things that the hardware does.

Factorio is great, I'm also a fan of X4.

It's somewhat amusing how Itanium managed to completely miss the mark, and just how short its heyday was.

It's also somewhat amusing that I'm still today helping host a pair of HPE Itanium blades - and two two-node DEC Alpha servers - for OpenVMS development.

Now that's one hefty changelog.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Both the rendezvous/mailbox and transport servers are available under an MIT license, though not every client makes it easy to use your own rendezvous.

I personally use the rymdport GUI client and the rust CLI.

Going to be really amazing to play Factorio again without knowing how to solve everything.

Looks like things are going to get really interesting

In general, browser benchmarks seem to often favor Firefox in terms of startup and first interaction timings, and often favor Chrome when it comes to crunching large amounts of data through JavaScript.
I.e. for pages which use small amounts of JavaScript, but call into it quickly after loading, Firefox tends to come out on top. But for pages which load lots of JavaScript and then run it constantly, Chrome tends to come out on top.

We're usually talking milliseconds-level of difference here though. So if you're using a mobile browser or a low-power laptop, then the difference is often not measurable at all, unless the page is specifically optimized for one or the other.

There's a bunch of extensions that allow you to switch user-agent easily, I personally use this one, it includes a list of known strings to choose between as well.

They used to also use the unreleased version 0 of shadow DOM for building the Polymer UI, which - being a Chrome-only prototype - understandably didn't work on Firefox, and therefore instead used a really slow Javascript polyfill to render its UI.

I haven't checked on it lately, but I imagine they must've changed at least that by now.

It's nice to see the continued balancing and optimization work that they're doing, and more modding capabilities is always great.

Not sure how well bombastic brass will do over longer periods of play, but I'm sure Wube have thought of that - going to be really interesting to see/hear this in action.

The QoL work keep on coming, really feels like it's going to become a whole new game once they get the expansion ready for release.
