  1. Yes, but not fully, it may still thrash on mmaped files (especially readonly ones).
  2. Maybe it should use MAP_NORESERVE ?
  3. For me, on the desktop, thrashing overload is the most common way the Linux system effectively crashes... (I've left it overnight a few times, sometimes it recovered, but not always).

    I'm not disabling overcommit for now, but maybe I should.

  4. Mine: It's not that ba... oops, I have custom fonts disabled...

    ...yikes...

    ...goes back to disabling custom fonts in browser.

  5. Amateur numbers... I've tested over 10000 (not right now)... It used to get really slow after 9000, but things seem to have improved.
  6. 3 makes me not wanna use Qt anymore.
  7. To be properly useful as a sandbox, it would be nice to have a tool that would run another process/executable in a sandboxed environment.

    Basically a tool that would allow to run flatpaks/AppImages/ etc...

    Maybe firejail already does all that can be done without using a VM.

  8. My rule for short videos is to only view the ones on my subscribed channels (from notifications where enabled) and never ever go to next/prev video.
  9. I subscribed to SkyShowtime (Euro joint venture from Paramount) for a few months (it was cheap) ... then I realized it doesn't work on Linux... cancelled.
  10. Wayland is not a solution, just a name for some protocols... It's either KDE or Gnome (with it's weird quirks) or some alternative.
  11. I think it should also have JS disabled (I hope!)
  12. I find it worse, because it's far too big for me... the thinkpad T series one is acceptable.

    What I'd want in a hack laptop is a full size TKL keyboard (and full height, or close), with a trackpoint (or 2 -- add one near the arrow keys).

  13. Star Trek "predicted" death of TV around 2040... looks like we are ahead of schedule.
  14. The problem of poor visibility due to fat A-pillars is not limited to large SUVs, it's a problem on normal cars too.
  15. callvote insta_weapon 1

    was my favorite in the Quake3A mod I played.

  16. For a laptop keyboard...
  17. revenue, obviously, but maybe it would scale with employee numbers... if you have lots of employees, you get taxed less.
  18. Also, people in the first team should also alternate hard/complicated issues with easy fixes.
  19. Not necessarily... I had H4 or H1/H7 before, which were dimmer, but the edge cutoff was much smoother...

    With current car that has Xenon headlights (+ LED for day), they have a much sharper cutoff at the edge, making it harder to see pedestrians and other stuff near the road.

    Probably the LED/laser headlights are even worse in this aspect.

  20. Cutting us Linux users off the Web.
