JPEG XL

AFAIK it's a VR optional title with singleplayer or multiplayer cross/'platform' (VR and flatscreen)

I'm mostly curious if it'll have JXL support like the deck

Since it runs SteamOS I guess it should

Since it runs KDE and IIRC KDE defaults to wanting JXL, it probably has JXL.

Now if only they'd use it instead of Lossless AVIF for screenshots

what were the conclusions? i still can't find any of that

some wins some lossless, but box86/64 is generally faster and easier to setup

Has anyone tried using the new affinity software by canva

Everytime I try to use the object selection tool on a JPX photograph it just go wack and freezes up

anyway the softwares cool im so glad its free

Interesting. Just got this on the Android app

guess who got to take 40 TB of LTO tape cartridges AND an LTO-5 tape drive home from work <:Hypers:808826266060193874>

on the condition that I wiped all of the tapes which took...months

now I need something to plug the PCIE host bus adapter into, otherwise I won't be able to interface with the drive

nice

or Framework needs to release a Serial Attached SCSI expansion card <:KekDog:805390049033191445>

it's old tech, LTO-5 came out in 2010 but most of these tapes are LTO-4 which came out in 2007. but after writing these tapes last up to 30 years in good conditions, in terms of data integrity, so they're really nice for archival <:BlobYay:806132268186861619>

could be done over a thunderbolt to pcie lmao

hmm

for some reason I expect those to be more expensive than a second hand PC but that would be a lot more convenient for sure

Perfect for storing at friends and families houses for offline offsite backup

yeah that's a good point

I've offered to store some of their backups too ^^

sounds good

most people don't have backups

I've never messed with tape drives before. is there any special filesystem or file formats you need to use with them or do you just interface with them as like a very slow storage drive?

they can work normally IIRC, but are very slow for random I/O

can be very fast for sequential though

some get to 300MB/s, faster than many HDDs

`tar` was often used to prepare archives for tape storage

``` GNU tar is an archiving program designed to store multiple files in a single file (an archive), and to manipulate such archives. The archive can be either a regular file or a device (e.g. a tape drive, hence the name of the program, which stands for tape archiver), which can be located either on the local or on a remote machine. ```

speaking of, this seems pretty nice: https://www.nongnu.org/lzip/tarlz.html

in fact that’s where it got its name from (**t**ape **ar**chive)

up to LTO-4 they only have a concept of 'files'. you go to the *end of data* then write a new file and an *end of file* marker. you need to remember which file represents which data, externally, there's no index on the tape itself. you can then ask it "give me the fifth file on this tape" and it'll start reading the whole tape until it gets to the fourth end of file marker, and it'll give you the data from there until the end of file marker LTO-5 and newer do have a file system called LTFS which allows you to actually mount the tape as a file system available to your computer. it's still just a linear tape so deleting files doesn't actually delete them (just remove them from the index) and new files are always appended to the end of data

Someone talk if US gov can control TOR of course yes they can, look at cloudflare

it doesn't really work like that

the tor network is much more decentralized than cloudflare's network, and consensus over the state of the network is sort of spread out between a handful of consensus nodes run by various digital rights organizations in different countries

then even if they forced them to report a consensus that for example had 500 volunteer-run relays removed, we would all see that since the consensus information is public, it's the same information tor clients use to create a circuit

Cloudflare is all networking traffic routed through a single company TOR is personal traffic routed through at least 3 volunteer run nodes, changing to others with the press of a button They're about as far opposites as you can get

I used to run a non-exit tor relay at one point. unfortunately many services incorrectly block all relays instead of just exist relays so I couldn't access some sites from my home network anymore

ideally they don't block tor anyway, but you know

look at the lil ferris

left-pad ?

what's that

a Node package that everyone depended on until its developer pulled it from npm and npm had to put it back to unbreak everything

it would pad a string up to the desired width

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm_left-pad_incident

thanks

it's for inserting the right amount of spaces before a string so the end of the string ends up at a certain position

which is what, four lines of code?

the Wikipedia article contains this screenshot of “Contents of `left-pad` at the time of its npm removal”:

(I personally think the developer’s response to kik’s initial e-mail was rather unreasonable)

oh god that reminds me, iirc on crates.io there are the `is_equal` and `is_odd` crates, which work by pulling in the other and taking the opposite of it. so if you try to include either it won't work because of a circular dependency

might be an ironic nod to left-pad

it is yeah

or rather the equivalent packages on npmjs

there’s also `right-pad`, but apparently both are deprecated

it seems plains JS has `.padStart` and `.padEnd` now

this is probably what it's referencing

interestingly, going by download counts, people seem a lot more interested in odd numbers than even numbers

which is odd

no, bad pun

this is not the case anymore

I think it was at one point but I could be misremembering. it might have been a different pair of crates

> Sanae Takaichi, unlike all previous prime ministers of Japan, really treats Taiwan seriously and respects President Donald J. Trump. This triggers the EVIL true face of Communist China that wants to conquers Taiwan regardless bloods and tears, and the government has claimed that someone should behead Takaichi by any cost. Crazy dogs (so-called "Wolf Warriors") that grew in mainland China and brainwashed by the party led by President Winnie Xi the Pooh can't NEVER be tamed!

Also the same PM that is a US puppet.

So China is upset if other countries say they would intervene and help Taiwan if Beijing were to invade and start murdering Taiwanese

The Communist Party has killed more of its own subjects than any government in the history of planet earth and everyone acts as if they are a normal and legitimate nation

It's really disgusts me that everyone treats with them and trades with them rather than putting them in the same category as other failed states like Nazi Germany or North Korea

Meanwhile it was unwise for the perpetrator of the Nanjing Massacre to like openly say that they can defend Taiwan. And now cultural exchanges between China and Japan are at risk of collapsing completely.

Wasn't Taiwan known as Formosa island before the rebels fled to it?

Which rebels

The Chinese rebels?

This is too ambiguous

what's the use case you need, there are a few but they are generally specialized uses.

In general, I would say the majority of the time you're better off just using your own native bindings.

I mean there was a time before Taiwan was called Taiwan. It wasn't always known by that name. Something gave it the current name.

The name has been used since Qing Dynasty

Ah makes sense.

It's just that Formosa was used more frequently internationally

Defending Taiwan from Chinese aggression is always morally correct, though saying so may be dangerous in the world of realpolitik.

<https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1313> > Description: SCP-1313 is an anomalous series of logical processes, capable of being defined as a mathematical equation to which the answer is a single female specimen of Ursus arctos. The equation itself does not appear to be inherently anomalous, but rather a quirk of mathematics — rather than producing any number in R\A (the set of all real numbers that are not animals), SCP-1313 resolves to produce a tangible, adult, and frequently enraged grizzly bear. The resolution does not have to be physically represented, and simply considering the problem long enough to arrive at the solution has resulted in a bear's manifestation in or around the subject solving it.

Huh, Caddy only supports Gzip and Zstd, not Brotli. Wonder why that is.

Ah, apparently they used to include it, but they thought it was way too CPU heavy for on the fly compression, so they recommend pre-compression for Brotli. And Caddy does support redirecting to Brotli files when the request header indicates support.

Brotli is too CPU heavy for real-time compression? Unless I'm missing something, with the right settings it can achieve similar speeds to DEFLATE while being smaller.

there’s a plugin for it https://github.com/ueffel/caddy-brotli

but yeah, static assets can use precompression
