I mean, I added that feature to Tesseract long before any other app did 🤷‍♂️

[Dons my hipster hat] I was silently judging before it was cool lol.

Yeah. I’m going to keep using it for now but definitely going back and un-reimplementing some things that I moved into the Bun API. Basically just gonna use it as a runtime in place of NodeJS.

I just really liked being able to build and distribute a single binary executable :(

Oh goddamn it. I just started doing projects in Bun and moving some of my older projects to it.

Fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

guarantees about API stability

That would be nice. I’m not holding my breath, but that would be very nice indeed.

Lemmy and the fediverse entirely. I guess you could also say social media entirely as this was my last vestige of it.

Planning to re-join the real world and put my energy into actual positive things.

Thanks. And yep. This started as a fun project 2 years ago and it turned into a nightmare. Best thing I can do is leave.

Thanks for being one of the sane ones lol.

Weird. Other than how it used to choke when there were conflicts (and all uploads stopped until that was fixed) I haven’t had any issues like that. Guess I’m just lucky.

I’ve had pretty good experience with Nextcloud’s instant upload. The only time I’ve had it shit the bed was ages ago when it would occasionally get stuck on a conflict, but that hasn’t happened in a long time. Pretty much all of my image folders (camera/DCIM, Screenshots, Downloads) get synced. The only annoying thing was when apps would suddenly change where they download to and I’d have to reconfigure yet another sync folder, but I can’t really fault NC for that.

Mine is set to upload and keep a local copy and only do a one way sync (phone to NC). Not sure if that causes less issues than a 2 way sync or deleting the local copy after upload?

I suspect zram’s swap device only consumes RAM when it actually contains swapped pages, but I don’t know for sure. Can anyone link an authoritative statement on this?

I’m wondering the same. I haven’t read anything authoritative, but it definitely seems like it only consumes the RAM it’s using. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to create block devices that exceed the physical memory. I started to wonder when I had it set to 50% (4 GB) and gave it a stress test. The 4 GB it allocated filled up but was compressed to just about 1 GB, so I thought “surely this isn’t wasting 3 GB of RAM to hold 1 GB of pages.”

The guidelines I’ve read seem like there’s some guesswork involved in the planning. Basically you can make the zram device as large as you want so long as the compressed data is less than the physical RAM (not all pages compress equally as you mentioned).

I’ve since bumped it to 200% of system ram (16 GB), and I think that’s probably good enough for my use cases. I’m seeing about a 4:1 average compress ratio, so I could go higher, but 8 GB has been plenty usable up until now. :shrug: I also left the original swap file in place with a lower priority as a spillover (I’m not really missing the 4 GB of disk space that uses, so might as well keep it).

Yeah, I’m still tweaking things and just kindof came to the same conclusion I need to bump it up.

I was assuming that it thick-allocated the RAM for the compressed swap block device, but it seems to be dynamic now that I’ve read deeper into it. I just bumped it from 50% to 350% (basically one extreme to another).

I haven’t really watched usage since I dug it out and wiped it, but it mostly depends how many tabs I have open at a given time. It’s mostly used for web browsing, web apps, and basic productivity software (Thunderbird, Matrix, LibreOffice, etc).

When I used it last in late 2022, it was typically using most of its memory (excluding filesystem cache) keeping a bunch of browser tabs open.

I’m sad I’m just now learning about Twin

I rarely go to Walmart. This is from the local Kroger (grocery store).

Good. May other retailers and grocery chains follow.

I hate those things - they treat you like a thief by default. I rarely use them and prefer to wait in line for the 1-2 cashiers, but I did the other day because I only had a few bottles of water to check out, and it was unsurprisingly horrible.

Scanned and bagged all my stuff. More slowly than I’d have liked, but otherwise uneventfully. I unpocket my wallet to get my shopper’s card and debit card out. “Oh no, you didn’t!” the machine said as it called for backup. Cue waiting 3-4 minutes for the attendant to get to me.

The machine asked the attendant if I was stealing and showed a replay of what it assumed must be me trying some Ocean’s 11 level of grand larceny. In the video? It was me getting my wallet out to pay.

Absolutely no time was saved. Nothing was more convenient, and to top it off, I was once again accused of stealing by a bathroom scale with delusions of grandeur.

AFAIK, yes. Though I haven’t tried it with WPA3.

While WEP is dead, you can still use it to capture the WPA/2 handshake and run it through something like John the Ripper to try to recover the passphrase.

Admittedly, I haven’t messed with it in years.

Either way, you still need a wireless adapter that’s capable of promiscuous mode as well as a driver for it that supports packet injection (not sure how rare that is nowadays).

When I was in college, I rented a house just outside my budget and found I couldn’t afford things like cable internet.

I had a wifi->ethernet bridge that was originally to connect my OG Xbox to a wifi network. I also had neighbors with Wifi using WEP encryption. An idea was born.

Was able to use aircrack-ng on my laptop to crack their WEP key in about 15 minutes. Plugged that key into my wifi->ethernet bridge, and then hooked that into my router. Bam, my whole house was online.

That worked for probably a year and a half.

Dude, it’s your platform, Meta.

I was gonna say…“just stop selling them the ad space”. Like, wtf?

Both of them seem to be the type that absolutely need therapy but staunchly refuse to admit it let alone seek it.

For sure!

I can’t stand when people throw that argument around. There’s a huge difference between ignoring reality (aka ‘sticking your head in the sand’) and not wanting to be flooded with endless coverage of the same topic/assholes; especially if it’s causing unwanted stress.

Like, I am an adult with object permanence; I know things continue to exist and happen even if I need to look away for a while lol.
