Sweet, hadn’t even occurred to me to look for that so I’m glad you pointed it out!

Very good points, it’s all trade-offs at the end of the day. I’ve always found them more than worth it myself for non server workloads, but as always YMMV.

Responsiveness for typical everyday usage is one of the main scenarios kernels like Zen/Liquorix and their out of the box scheduler configurations are meant to improve, and in my experience they help a lot. Maybe give them a go sometime!

Edit: For added context, I remember Zen significantly improving responsiveness under heavy loads such as the one OP is experiencing back when I was experimenting with some particularly computationally intensive tasks

Btw just in case you aren’t aware, the nag can be done away with. I don’t have a link off the top of my head but it’s out there.

It doesn’t, you can install it on mostly any Linux distro

Yeah, you’re probably right. I didn’t connect the dots that’s what you’d need here, my bad.

Ah, I see. I’ll check it out!

Yeah, I feel that. I’ve settled on telmate’s but there’s a few things I’ve had to implement as hacky post creation SSH edits on the config files, such as passing through the Intel GPU to my Jellyfin container.

I don’t have much actual experience with it but you can run arbitrary shell commands in at least cloud-init, the others should be able to do the same. Maybe that could work? Definitely better than manually running scripts, at least.

It’s not a feature I’ve used myself but I’m pretty sure you can create Jellyfin playlists and collections spanning different libraries, so that could work if you’re okay with some manual curation

Can you share which of the local code completion solutions you’re using? I’ve been looking into spinning up my own.

I use Proxmox, running a mix of regular and NixOS based LXCs. One of those also runs Docker for simpler services.

Or better yet, an option to point it to my own self-hosted OpenAI API compatible endpoint on top of one to disable it entirely.

Edit: On second thought, the copilot integration probably goes deeper than that but still

I’m assuming that’s why they added “relatively”

Ah, interesting! I’d have guessed about a dozen annoyances before that one even came to mind haha. Hope you have a good time around these parts at any rate :)

Also, I’d never taken a serious look at the German layout but going by the truly wild differences there you may as well stick with what you have IMO, I think it’s what I’d do at least.

A lot of us don’t live in the US to begin with, so I assume a significant portion of us just use whatever the local standard is. That’s where I’ve been at so far, the Brazilian layout is a QWERTY variant so not that different. It does make some things more awkward, but you get used to what you have to work with.

Brackets and curly braces are less convenient off the top of my head, backticks too. Vim is a tad less ergonomic without some extra fiddling, for instance. In fact, I’ve been considering getting a US keyboard for coding to make that kinda thing less of an issue, US international makes accents and whatnot accessible enough that I think I could make it work.

I’ll second Rust, it’s so fresh and versatile! You can go from super low level stuff all the way to things like web frameworks with WebAssembly and whatnot.

The memory model is definitely a unique beast but I’ve found it gave me some insight on how it all actually works behind the scenes and I appreciate the strictly enforced correctness too.

I’ve been thinking about that. It’s the one walled garden I don’t mind, I’ve poured shameful amounts into it but the thought is always there in the background that it can’t go on like this forever.

At the end of the day I don’t mind too much and just try to enjoy it while it lasts, since worst comes to worst I’ll just have to sacrifice some convenience and dive back into full-time piracy to regain access to the vast majority of the content anyway. The wonders of an open platform!

I haven’t actually finished DD1 but that’s 100% on my attention span, it’s an amazing game and I’m super excited for the sequel! Never played anything quite like it, the way you explore and how dark and terrifying nighttime is will always stick with me. I started on that hard difficulty setting way back when, forgot what it’s called, and it was a really fun ride right up to the point I suddenly stopped playing for no particular reason I can recall.

Oh and it’s got some of the coolest spells I’ve ever seen in a game. Take something like the tornado spell. Most games would hand you a moderately sized green wind burst or something and call it a day, DD actually gives you what feels like a city destroying one you take ages to cast lol. Most of the ones I remember are like that and I love them so much.

I can only hope so
