I don’t often search for videos but I did attempt it recently and it was already better YT did by itself. Perhaps that was mostly because it didn’t attempt to shove extremely irrelevant shorts down my throat though but that’s already feature enough tbh.

I guess they’re spending so much time on the share feature because it’s basically free marketing.

Unfortunately though it seems there’s a bug since this update where changing a search doesn’t actually apply it most of the time when you hit enter or click the button.

Someone started working on a Vulkan driver for TeraScale GPUs a few years ago:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/Triang3l/mesa/-/tree/Terakan

I believe it can run some demos add even works on windows.

While velocity is certainly the larger contributor, it’s not like mass is insignificant either. Especially for the cargo bike case where even unloaded the mass difference requires a ~5km/h change in velocity for equal kinetic energy.

When you get to very high absolute velocities, mass becomes less and less significant but we’re very much at the low end here in that regard.

With E-bikes it’s not just the “unnaturally” fast speed but also weight and that’s doubly important for powered cargo bikes.

Speed limits don’t really make sense here though. What determines the amount of damage inflicted in a collision or how easy it is to avoid a collision by breaking is kinetic energy; that’s what needs to be limited.

I’d just base this around what a “normal” human on a “normal” bicycle can do on flat ground with reasonable human power alone: e.g. 70kg human on a 10kg bicycle doing 25km/h. That’s 80 kilogram × (25 kilometre / hour)² = 3858.02 J of kinetic energy.

Now we can assume e.g. a 20kg e-bike and calculate backwards: sqrt(3858.02 joule / (70 kilogram + 20 kilogram)) = 23.5702 km/h
Or with a 50kg cargo e-bike: sqrt(3858.02 joule / (70 kilogram + 50 kilogram)) = 20.4124 km/h.

Ideally cargo bikes would also factor measured load into them. If you carried an additional 50kg, it should only power up to 17.1498 km/h for instance.

What conditions would be “safe” under “normal” circumstances and how heavy you assume people to be are debatable and dependent on where you are (welcome to NA, +10kg avg. weight) but the mechanism should be the same.
We need to define some limit of kinetic energy that is reasonably safe for pedestrian and bicycle collisions and in line with what typical human on an unpowered bicycle would net you. Powered bicycles (or any other powered vehicle for that matter) then need to enforce that limit by way of cutting off power once the maximum kinetic energy is reached.

Oracle ZFS is so obscure by now that it’s irrelevant.

As usual with Oracle products, it’s just a means to squeeze poorly led companies.

I tried to relate the limited niche where having closer together gearing makes a noticeable difference

You appear to be misunderstanding. This isn’t about making gearing be closer together, this is about increasing the range of the gearing by making the low end lower and only reducing the high end by a little.

If anything, the configurations I wrote about would make gear spacing less even as the default is quite nicely spaced.

What I need to know is whether the change in the low end is actually noticeable in an uphill scenario and by how much.

So I prefer to have as wide as my drivetrain supports. If I have any choice, I prefer a tighter set of low gears and a bailout final cassette cog.

It’s the same for me I think. I’d prefer some variety of low gears for uphills and some variety for relatively flat ground. I don’t very much care what’s in between as long as it’s not too far apart.

When I start riding, I usually use one of the lower gears for half a turn and then immediately switch the hub from 64% to 100% (skipping the gear in between) which is a jump from 2.64m to 4.14m or 3.25m to 5.10m and then usually up to 5th gear (6.49m) for a bit and then the 6th gear when conditions allow.

I wouldn’t worry about the total, and would start with the widest cassette that will work with your current setup. Then I would only change the front chainring if you still feel a lack of top speed.

This again appears to be a misunderstanding: This is a 6-speed Brompton.

6-speed here means 6 gears total, including the hub.

The gearing is as follows:

• Hub with 3 fixed ratios (64%, 100%, 157%)
• Derailleur between two sprockets that can be equipped with a maximum of 17 teeth due to size constraints
• One chainring (no derailleur)

I get to choose the two sprockets and the chainring. That’s it; there is no wider cassette that physically fits this frame.

The reason for changing the chainring is merely to shift the gearing down which isn’t possible by changing the sprockets because a sprocket larger than about 17T will physically not fit. Again, this is a Brompton with tiny 16" wheels that folds down to suitcase size.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s a good idea to say that fediverse == activitypub in the first place.

IMHO all services that work in an open federated manner based on open federation standards are part of the Fediverse. Whether that protocol is AP, Matrix, XMPP or, yes, even Email; it’s all open standards where instances openly federate with other instances that implement the same standard.
Hell, we could even bridge between protocols. Not saying it should but if Lemmy had a mailing list bridge, would you consider someone replying to Lemmy emails from their self-hosted email server as not being part of the fediverse?

For the same reason I don’t consider AT to be part of the fediverse because it doesn’t operate in a federated manner as control is entirely centralised.

Right but I do like to ride fast when possible. It’s not for competitive edge or anything; it’s just comfortable.

The main thing I want answered is whether the difference in metres of development in the low end actually makes a difference and how significant they are in practice.

If you’re not going to post what I asked for, nobody can help you.

Or just generally df -h | grep tmpfs and look for any significant usage.

I don’t know what this tool is or how it gets its “memory” metric. If you want to continue to use it, please ascertain that these values correspond to RSS by cross checking with i.e. ps aux. RSS is the memory exclusively held by a given process which is typically what mean by the “memory usage” of any given process. Note however that this does not count anonymous pages of a process that are swapped or shared with other processes.

Going into my task manager (Resources), I can see my using is using roughly 18/32GB of RAM despite closing all apps.

This does not tell you (or us for that matter) anything without defining what “using” means here. My system is “using” 77% of RAM right now but 45% of memory is available for use because it’s cached.

Please post the output of free -h aswell as swapon.

Next, please post the contents of /proc/meminfo.

Do you use ZFS?

That doesn’t make any sort of sense in this scenario.

There cannot be differences between CoreCTRL and LACT; they use the exact same kernel interfaces.

Your issue is therefore also not connected to any of these GUIs but how the kernel applies your policies.

I’d recommend you try to reproduce the issue using just the raw kernel files and report the issue upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/

I doubt most user have any need for great nc performance.

I also doubt those “super performant nextcloud flakes” are actually any faster than a plain old default nc deployment; especially for our use-cases.

Using NixOS is a good recommendation though. Just don’t do flakes unless you actually understand what problem they intend to solve and how catastrophically bad they are at it.

Well then it sounds like it works just fine but your chosen value isn’t stable.

Friggin Emoji Speak lmao.

I highly recommend you try to translate some news article to emoji speak; it’s awful/great:

https://translate.kagi.com/Emoji Speak/https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/10/german_router_maker_avm_lgpl

I just had a browse through the languages to find the novelty ones and was quite surprised to see how long the list has gotten. It can translate to friggin Welsh and can even TTS it. I don’t speak Welsh but it sounded entirely incomprehensible, so it must be quite accurate.
It can TTS all the languages in fact; even Elvish. Quite impressive honestly and it’s getting to the point where Kagi translate could be a part of the subscription that holds significant value.

The purposes I most use translation services for is to look up singular words in English because I forgot the term in my mother tongue but Kagi isn’t very good at that yet; classic dictionary service still beat it by a long shot.
It’d be great if Kagi could at least show alternative translations like Deepl does; I sometimes use that service.

Translating some entire article in an unfamiliar language though, that’s where I can really see myself relying on it.

I didn’t know I’d like to see them build it but I’d love to see this fleshed out further now that they have.

You can also just do the initial import on a NAS. It might take a day perhaps but, honestly, does that matter?

I’d suspect the bots would just try again with a masked user agent when they receive a 403.

I think the best strategy would be to feed the bots shit that looks like real content.

Thanks a bunch. I looked into it a bit more and it appears this SDK is called “MyScript” and it’s documented surprisingly well on https://developer.myscript.com/doc/.

There appears to be an expression language of sorts for mathematical expressions from which resource files are generated in a custom binary format. Given other overscript expressions already exist, it ought to be possible to make it recognise ẋ too and it might actually be quite simple. Their system strikes me as quite solid actually.
If I can generate such a resource file, adding it to the Kobo should be trivial too because all I’d need to do is edit a plain-text config file to include my custom resource file and those are trivial to access on a Kobo.

https://developer.myscript.com/docs/interactive-ink/2.0/android/advanced/build-custom-resources/#grammar-resource

In my research I also came across this which suggests mathematical notation in normal text isn’t possible:

https://developer-support.myscript.com/support/discussions/topics/16000031866

They do say that it’s possible to at least add some expressions or symbols though and I’ve been thinking whether just adding e.g. the Greek language pack could be enough.

What I’d really need here is an expression to say “treat the following text as math expressions” for short in-line math expression declarations. Perhaps they even thought of that; I’ll do more research.

VR is pain enough as is; adding a Laptop with weird GPU setups into the mix is going to be even more pain.

Oh, this is the Linux gaming community. Multiply the pain by 10.
