Yay, finally more non-SUV electric cars.

Oh, it's also made in China. And it's a rebranded Chinese car. The traditional manufacturers really are falling behind in the electric transition.

You might want to look up SMR vs CMR, and why it matters for NASes. The gist is that cheaper drives are SMR, which work fine mostly, but can time out during certain operations, like a ZFS rebuild after a drive failure.

Sorry don't remember the details, just the conclusion that's it's safer to stay away from SMR for any kind of software RAID

EDIT: also, there was the SMR scandal a few years ago where WD quietly changed their bigger volume WD Red ("NAS") drives to SMR without mentioning it anywhere in the speccs. Obviously a lot of people were not happy to find that their "NAS" branded hard drives were made with a technology that was not suitable for NAS workload. From memory i think it was discovered when someone investigated why their ZFS rebuild kept failing on their new drive.

This was just an extra bonus update :) A fun little celebration 🎉

It doesn't exactly replace normal big updates

EDIT: Maybe not so little with how OP the flar gun is xD Hopefully it gets nerfed soon if it hasn't been already

2nd for Kobo! It's a good device, supports more standards, and doesn't fund any of the Too Big Tech Giants

The visual style is like a cartoonified version of the Ori (and the Blind Forest) visuals. It's very pretty.

Didn't the French try that after the revolution?

Application Z requires another 3GB because it needs Gnome runtime version X+1, not version X. Although I do believe Flatpak does some kind of reduplication so actual used space is somewhat less.

It's also less of a problem if you flatpak all the apps vs having just a handful. The more apps the better chance they're actually sharing runtimes.

Flatpak updates are handled very smoothly by KDE Discover, I always assumed Gnome Software did the same, so no additional package manager required.

Despite the few downsides Flatpak is still wonderful. As a Kubuntu user it's nice to say Farewell random PPAs whenever there's a need for an actual newish version of an application

This is a very outdated take. With SteamPlay and Proton most games these days are literally just click Install click Play. The main exceptions are VR and certain competitive games with invasive AntiCheat where the devs has not enabled Linux support.

These days you should not need fiddle with Wine directly, Proton, Lutris etc should handle Wine for you

Thanks for sharing, Markor looks promising

Markor also has support for Zim Wiki, so I tried it out with some files from my Zim Desktop Wiki notebook, and it sortof works! Markor renders correctly, though I had some problems getting embedded images to work, because Markor didn't find the images using the same relative URLs as Zim Desktop Wiki uses.

Skrooge is pretty good

Thanks for sharing, I have 3 hm90s I'm about to set up ( just waiting for RAM and SSDs ), these crashes sound super frustrating.

I was planning to run them detuned anyway to reduce the strain and temperature on the Power Supply, since its a non-standard USB-C which looks hard or impossible to replace if it breaks some years from now

Genuine question: Is that good or bad? What kind of farmers? Food or tulips? Humans gotta eat, and I thought Netherlands produces a lot of Europe's agricultural output
