  • Rust is wildly fast. Learning that it is being used for a program is good to know if you care about speed. If you read the article, it even addresses your exact critiques:

    Moreover, Rust has demonstrated superior performance compared to JavaScript add-ons, resulting in a quicker and more responsive Thunderbird. Furthermore, the integration of Rust into Thunderbird will be facilitated by the fact that it is already utilized in Firefox, enabling Thunderbird to leverage existing infrastructure for testing and continuous integration.

    So not only with thunderbird be faster because Rust is faster than JavaScript, but it eliminates 3rd party addons by being native which also further increases speed. Lastly, development time for new features and improvements is faster because they can now use using the mature tooling that Mozilla has for Rust.

    So yeah, good to know its using Rust now.




  • They literally agreed to open the patent if the safety rule goes into effect.

    However, one key patent — the “840” patent — is not set to expire until 2033. To stave off potential competitors, it describes the AIM technology very broadly. In a surprise move at February’s CPSC hearing, TTS Tooltechnic Systems North America CEO Matt Howard announced that the company would “dedicate the 840 patent to the public” if a new safety standard were adopted. Howard says that this would free up rivals to pursue their own safety devices or simply copy SawStop’s. At the hearing, he challenged them “to get in the game.”

    Libreelec is a great htpc, meant to give you that same “10ft computing” experience as any other media center. Its requirements for 1080p aren’t that intense, as it runs well on a raspi 4/5. They do recommend keeping the resolution set to 1080p in kodi and letting your tv upscale to 4k if youre playing 4k content, so that is a good metric to target.

    You can run it as a VM, but running 3 off the same machine loses a lot of the “media center that controls one tv” utility, unless you have 3 hdmi ports on that computer that are wired to those 3 TV and can pass through 3 IR blasters or bluetooth connections for physical remotes. If you can, it should work fine.

    If you are routing IR blasters, flirc has a USB blaster and a remote called the Skip that should work out. Ive used the usb blaster with kodi and it integrated seamlessly, but haven’t used the remote yet.

    So you could get 3 of the remotes, 3 usb IR blastere and whether length of usb cable you need for each to connect to the host and pass those through to the VMs.


  • Jesus, i bought one of those from a little book store years ago because “cool cover!”

    I remember that I was making small talk with the clerk/owner and said something like “this book looks rad!” And he gave me one of those slightly long “suuurree” replies.

    I was maybe 30 pages in later and just put it down. “Really fucked up misogyny as a civilization” aint exactly a great genre.

    Having memory problems doesnt make you copy/paste whole articles into your video scripts. It doesnt make you edit the wording to make it sound less natural and human to hide your plagiarism. It certainly doesnt make you do this literally dozens of times, over the course of years. It certainly doesnt make you less than the bare minimum of citing your work after your plagiarism is pointed out, and it doesn’t excuse lying about getting permission to use someones elses work.

    Dude was ripping off dozens of better creators for years while making a mint, and now is just lying through his teeth as hard as possible.



  • Simple to use NAS software. Has a unique raid model that allows adding as few or as many discs as you like of whatever size. You can start with 3 and add 1, 2 or more to the array, no issues. The parity model also lets you add as many parity discs as you like, as long as they are the same size as the largest disk.

    Had early docker support as well, so it’s easy to spin up and integrate docker apps on the same server.

    Lastly, they used to sell an excellent 8 bay standalone case. Think its been some years since they did.


  • Like most complex things in life, if you devout time to it and engage with it deeply you gain an advantage over a simplier version of the same thing. The question we all have to ask ourselves is “is this worth it?”

    I’d say in your specific “docker centric while using debain” use case, sure. Most people who use linux as a daily driver? Maybe not.
