This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these.

Love to see the community coming together to improve things !

there is a page about this on the lemmy docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/05-censorship-resistance.html

it comes down to wayland, i3 only supports Xorg, sway only supports wayland.

as far as features goes sway was built to be pretty much a drop in replacement for i3 with a few improvements.

same, I just checked, I bought the full version in 2016 (for like a dollar ?) and been using it since.

long time i3 user, now switched to sway

I think its a nice alternative to developers to offer software that is not available on your package manager, but having a distro offer multiple different ways of installing a package is not a good idea, I’m talking about ubuntu of course, as a user I just want to apt-get update/upgrade and be sure my system is up to date, snap undermines that because I’m not sure anymore. also I don’t understand why I need to close the app I’m using to update it with snap, if the app is containerized I should be able to install multiple versions without affecting each other.

yup pretty sure

$ cat /etc/passwd
fox:hunter2:1000:1000::/home/fox:/usr/bin/zsh

😉

you don’t need to be root to read /etc/passwd

love parallel !, for example encoding a bunch wavs to opus:

parallel --eta 'opusenc --bitrate 256 {} {.}.opus' ::: *.wav

However, the two Jumpsec Red Team members found that they could go around the restriction by changing the internal and external recipient ID in the POST request of a message, thus fooling the system into treating an external user as an internal one.

so they only do the check on client side. classic.

love cat -n, when working with csv files I often use a command like this to figure out which column I need:

head -n1 file.csv | sed 's/,/\n/g' | cat -n
