Check out the new overview, improved colour management, a cleaner theme, more effects, better overall performance, and much more.7·1 year agoIt’s in the testing repo right now, but I’d expect it in the main repo pretty soon. End of the week, give or take.
It’s allegedly happening, but we’ll see if it’s any good. The Mr Robot creator is in charge of it.
CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•More 128TB SSDs are coming as almost no one noticed this launch — another SSD controller that can support up to 128TB appeared paving the way for HDD-beating capacitiesEnglish2·1 year agoI’ve seen SSDs hit 100TB, but those are $40k+. And more “reasonable” options like 64TB for $10k or so.
HDDs just reached 30TB, but I don’t think those are widely available yet. 24TB is the biggest you can expect to see for sale.

Or if he wants to get fancy, get a mini-fridge to put the TV on. Then he also has somewhere to put the beer.
CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Best TV box for connecting to streaming services?English2·1 year agoYou can get a USB IR receiver and use software like LIRC to map the inputs of basically any remote you have. Setting it up takes a little effort, but it works great when it’s done.
CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Movies@lemmy.world•Coyote Vs. Acme: Warner Brothers just killed a full-length animated film to avoid paying taxesEnglish9·1 year agoSpace Jam 2 did it pretty blatantly. The antagonist of the movie is a WB algorithm that gained sentience.
CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution?8·1 year agogrml-zsh-config
is its name, and it’s always one of the first things I install on a fresh system. I’ll never understand why it isn’t the default.
CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•If you were to suddenly come into possession of 12+ enterprise-grade SAS hard drives, how would you go about incorporating them into your homelab?English6·1 year agoI would sell a few of them to shore up the budget, then use those funds to build a NAS box. You can buy everything other than drives for a few hundred, less if you have spare parts sitting around.

It’s also free in the Bitwarden app if you self-host with Vaultwarden. It’s only a paid feature if you’re using their hosting, and seemingly only so they can dangle it as a “premium” benefit.
