Snow is coming for us next week finally after a balmy winter. Had to swap on the snow wheels and tires in preparation. Thankfully these 20” wheels from a Q series will clear those carbon ceramic brakes.

I tried an electron-based container app today which integrates a terminal.

Opening one terminal and running btop for a few seconds got me 522mb of memory usage across three processes, with very little shared memory between them.

VTE with 10 tabs, 10k lines of full scrollback, all those GPU shaders, rendered svgs, etc was ony 58 after subtracting shared pages.

If you need 522mb to open a terminal to do literally anything on your own system, you're already f'd.

Has writing a Terminal become the new write your own IDE or Text Editor?

Not complaining of course, I've done all three.

My systemd-oomd changes are in today's systemd release, 0xFF (255)

OK , how does one reset terminal / prompt / shell settings to a clean default? Apparently my prompt has been broken for years & I had no idea.

I am told that I have "overridden the system prompt integration", yet I haven't done anything special other than installing Powerline as per https://fedoramagazine.org/add-power-terminal-powerline/ ; I've now undone that.

I deleted ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, and anything I could find mentioning bash, no dice.

What other config files exist?

hergertme,

@mgedmin @nekohayo yes this is better

hergertme,

@nekohayo @mgedmin

Did you use ls -l in there? They all start with . so it wont show up if you just ls /etc/skel.

Toby got an MRI this morning and is in surgery now for herniated discs. He gets a spinal tap as well for the lab to rule out Meningitis.

App for creating barcodes is getting more and more real. Because allows building even for aarch64, I've been able to test it on my OnePlus6.

hergertme,

@ondrejkolin So happy to see people use that feature! I was worried nobody used it.

Got my 15 year old Thinkpad X300 out of storage. It's a 1200mhz Core 2 Duo w/ 4GB RAM and Intel 965GM graphics.

So like, pretty damn slow, but it does do GLES 2.0!

The GTK 3 based gnome-terminal in Fedora 39 took 3m59s to cat a 650mb text file.

The GTK 4 version with all of my and others patches applied and using OpenGL took 2m21s.

A reduction of over 40% on ancient hardware.

So when people say that GNOME doesn't care about old hardware, point them right here.

For most of the past week it's been full time caregiving round the clock with my wife to our dog Toby.

He's been in a paraplegic state with 3 slipped discs and a fractured tail bone. Can't relieve himself even.

Today I saw his little hind legs move for the first time in days and I almost cried.

hergertme,

@amadeus Wish we knew. He's only 4.

For completion's sake, here's my older tile experiment in the new format. Man I've almost forgotten how the whole deal works again. Gotta do some more tilesets soon.

hergertme,

@jimmac now that our terminals are GPU rendered, we really need to embed an easter egg boss level like this into the app

hergertme,

@jimmac cannot sudo until you beat boss

Does anyone here use dovecot with a email delivery delay for vacation?

hergertme,

@nekohayo I don't want delayed sends, I want delayed receives for mail I've tagged with sieve rules.

hergertme,

@nekohayo I don't even care how it's implemented so long as I don't see it when refreshing my mail client. That's generally fine with sub-folders and disabling synchronization on IMAP.

hergertme,

@nekohayo The low-tech way to do this would be to have sieve move all my gitlab/list/etc traffic into a staging directory, then a script which moves it into my Maildir's INBOX on some schedule.

Some days, I just wish I had my own mailserver as a library.

hergertme,

@nekohayo Since you can't trust everyone around the world to know when you're on vacation and file bugs at a different time, and since gitlab won't give us vacation control mechanisms, it seems prudent to just take care of it ourselves.

Generally it's my phone I want things disabled. And yes, indicators are terrible for me on all platforms.

You would have thought that after switching distros as well as operating systems so much in our teenage years we would have learned that it was the computer itself we didn't like.

Toby had not one, not two, but three slipped disks today. Spent nearly the whole day at the ER.

If you're running on there are new packages about to arrive for GTK 4.12.4. It should help improve things greatly!

Thanks to Kalev for putting them together!

It's a different experience to do a system upgrade in a terminal that you work on. Always a nail biter.

Shout-out to the dude walking up Belmont in Portland with an IBS shirt in the style of 80s IBM.

The patched version of + Shell I've been running for the last few days, while profiling with @YaLTeR, is crazy fast.
This is the first time in 13 years that my GNOME Shell isn't slowing down after a few hours/days. Even without triple-buffering.

It is so smooth, I can't stop moving windows around just to savor how unreal it feels. Turns out I never experienced 60 fps (with & without ) in GNOME in my life, until this week.

I ought to blog about this.

hergertme,

@nekohayo @YaLTeR @alatiera There are certainly different classes of issues. But if you can tighten up a lot of code to use fewer CPU cycles across the system, there are generally energy savings to be had.

Does anyone have any reliable information on when we might see a Mac Mini with M3? All I can find are outdated articles based on rumours from August. 😅

I've been wanting to get a Mini on Black Friday, but I would probably hate myself if an M3 version came out a month or two after. 😅

hergertme,

@amxmln If your goal is to run Linux on it, I'd hold out a bit anyway. M3 GPU will require a bunch of new stuff different than M1/M2 and on top of that I don't think HDMI output is supported yet outside of m1n1, except with something like simpledrm (so no acceleration).

So in this case, I'd just find a good M2 laptop you like.
