Open Source@lemmy.ml•HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.English
30·28 days agoThere would be uproar, but like the audio jack on phones people would come around. All it would take is one big enough company to pull it off, and the rest would follow.

8·28 days agoThis wouldn’t work to scale. If Valve paid to license the spec for the Linux kernel, it would have to pay for every person who downloaded the driver, which is far more than the amount of people who buy the Steam Cube.
Unless of course you’re suggesting that the kernel driver for the new spec become closed source.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Using rsync for backups, because it's not shiny and newEnglish
22·3 months agoHere’s how I approach old and slow:
- Older software is mature and battle tested. It’s been around long enough that the developers should know what they’re doing, and have built a strong community for help and support.
- Slow is okay when it comes to accuracy. Would I love to back up my gigabytes (peanuts compared to some of you folks out there with data centers in your attics) in seconds? Yes. But more importantly, I’d rather have my data be valid for if I ever need to do any kind of restore. And I’ve been around the block enough times in my career to see many useless backups.

Codeberg is not just for static websites. It’s for FOSS projects. Their FAQ addresses this.
The enemy of my enemy or some shit.
As a Mac user, I like Time Machine for backups. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. There is a Linux version.
Nb. I’ve not used this particular software, so YMMV.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•On the bright side, zero responsibilitiesEnglish
0·1 year ago👆 This. In my experience, I’ve seen a lot of developers get upset about “their code” not being used, time wasted, or someone else changing the code after the fact. Who cares? Once you commit that code, it’s no longer your code. It’s the company’s code. Your paycheck will reflect the same amount of money regardless — and if it doesn’t, you may want to find a better employer. 😅

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Looking for some kind of local DB manager? "application" with a guiEnglish
3·1 year agoI found this site which might help you in your search.
Food for thought (no pun intended), but unless you’re willing to build an app (could be a great app; I doubt you’re the only person who could use this), you might be over engineering this quite a bit. A spreadsheet could be made to do what you’re looking for, with much less effort.
Well for one, it encrypts all communications so that people can’t snoop on what you’re doing.
Ssh! 🫢 You’ll ruin the joke!
Hm. Might not be standup that’s the problem. Might be a company culture thing. But only you know that for sure. Good luck op! Disassociation can be a life saver.
The problem is that they both are contextual and can mean any position in a list/array. The starting index or starting offset is generally zero, but could be one, depending on the language used.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[Solved] Missing /etc/systemd/resolved.conf fileEnglish
2·1 year agoFWIW, I’m referring to the local DNS (domain name system) resolver; the mechanism that resolves local domain names into IP addresses so that computers can talk to each other over the LAN.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[Solved] Missing /etc/systemd/resolved.conf fileEnglish
9·1 year agoHere is a good primer on the configuration files and their possible locations: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/resolved.conf.html
Edit: be careful because this is your domain name lookup you’re messing with. 😊
What I suggest is not the same as using
git rebase. It’s pretty automatic and easily abortable.

The point isn’t whether it’s needed or not. It’s not about space or features. The point is that a major player made a design decision and bucked the system. And while there may still be some phones with audio jacks, the majority of mainstream phones don’t. That major player is still successful, and other companies followed suit.
Can we agree this is what should happen to HDMI. No?
