171·12 days agoOh god you can even use it with SteamVR. I would love to try it out now and compare it to the Valve Index.
I use borgbackup, with daily backup to borgbase.
At some point I want to set up a distributed file system between multiple locations as both a backup target and also a network share with automatic snapshots or some other undelete mechanism, but I still need to get the hardware for that and the current setup works well
2·14 days agoA 32 bit client means even if the game you want to play is 64 bit, you still have to install all the 32 bit system libraries to make it work.
The NT kernel and Win32 API are pretty neat for the most part :)
It’d be great, but they haven’t even ported the Steam desktop client to 64-bit x86 yet*, I feel like we’re going to wait a while for that.
* and that’s not even true, they were forced to port it for the Mac, so they’re just sitting on the 64 bit builds for the other OSes for some reason
KDE Frameworks used to be a single package (I think with KDE 4?) that people complained about because it contained unnecessary features for the software they want to use. They split it into different packages because of that, so software could only depend on the part of Frameworks that it actually used. And now people complain that KDE software has “a billion dependencies”. Unbelievable.

True. I knew I should have left that as “NFS 4” because someone would comment this. From what I’ve read (never used it), NFS 3 is very different to 4 and also just kind of not worth using, especially just for Windows, since it has no security at all.
Please just use Kerberos instead of fiddling with uids. It’s the only sane way to get NFS access controls and user mapping. Works on both Linux and macOS (but there’s no NFS on Windows anyway).
I’d say you can run the Kerberos KDC on the NAS but if Synology has some locked down special OS you’ll need another machine for that (edit: but you say you have other servers already so that shouldn’t be a problem).
Unfortunately SMB is so screwed that you can’t reuse ordinary Kerberos for authentication there, which is unfortunate if you want to have both that and NFS. I’ve yet to look into whether Samba AD can be used for both.
That would make sense if they were overlapping. They aren’t. There’s no need to “focus” the window.
Window focus is important for things like determining where keyboard input goes. If you want to type text into another window that isn’t focused, you need to switch focus before continuing to type so your text goes into the right window.
The need to focus on the window before clicking?
It doesn’t delay the click action for a double click because it already does it for a single click, so it would be pointless to do the same for a double click. If you’re double clicking, it’s pretty much always because you actually want to double click on something specific in the UI.
I don’t understand the question. All of them.
Skill issue.
No. It doesn’t. I’m beginning to think you’ve never used a Mac.
I use a Mac almost as much as I use Linux, which is almost daily, right now exclusively even since I’m not at home where my Linux computer is.
I’m beginning to think you’ve never used any computer since you don’t even know what window focus is for.
Well, theoretically yes. On a Mac, no.
Yes, even on a Mac. Necessarily so since it strictly places windows on one monitor. You’re always switching to a window on another monitor.
Can you give an example of what you’re talking about?
Why would I want to do that? Why does double-clicking suddenly remove that need?
So you can activate a window without first having to find a free space in the UI to click on (especially if it partially overlaps). It much increases the surface to click on to focus a window and therefore makes it faster since you can be more inaccurate in where you move the mouse.
What need?
No you can’t. It just minimizes them. Just like the yellow button.
It does not.
Can you give an example of a window that gets minimized by clicking the red button?
Like I said, sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t. Apple does not give any fucks about consistency or intuitive design.
No, drag and drop tile actions always work, even if it doesn’t entirely make sense (e.g. windows that can’t be resized).
Can you give an example of a window that it does not work with?
You have to click to switch monitors but if you do it twice it registers as a double click so you have to click…wait…then click again.
You don’t switch monitors, you switch windows. That is how it works for all windows. It’s like that so you can click anywhere in a window to focus it without activating something in the window by accident.
You can’t close anything from the window buttons and the red and yellow buttons do the same thing. You have to go into the taskbar and right click to close them.
You can close windows with the red window button, and the yellow button minimizes a window. Absolutely not the same thing. The whole application you can close via the dock, or the menu bar, or cmd+q. Two different things.
Some apps have a single main window though which will reopen when the dock icon is clicked (e.g. Mail), but that is still different to what the yellow minimize button does. The distinction is much more useful for document style apps like TextEdit which can have multiple windows (or none, if no file is open). There is also Hide which hides the entire application and all its windows until it’s activated again.
Then they took the time in Sequoia to add window tiling but it’s just such an awful experience. You have to hover over the green dot and wait for the prompt to popup and choose from a drop-down menu. WHY CAN’T YOU JUST DRAG AND DROP!?
You can absolutely drag and drop to tile windows, and there are also keyboard shortcuts for it. Check the Window -> Move & Resize menu for that.
As someone has already written in another comment, the Apple Music app.
