@amonakov it's a shame VESA with DVI-D didn't lead the development of higher bitrates :(

@Suiseiseki
@amonakov
but they allowed higher bitrates for HDMI to be completely controlled by the evil HDMI Forum :(

@sjb SPAAAACEEEE

@sjb

if HDMI-A-1 is so cool then why isn't there HDMI-B-1?

Do I know a mechanical keyboard nerd who knows all these post-Cherry switches?

I know that I like Cherry MX Blue, but it's hard to find a large keyboard with these these days.

Should I look into switches from other manufacturers?

Are there any that are designed to feel the same as MX Blue, so that I could buy a keyboard with them blind, without first trying them out?

Was there a technological progress such that the newer switches are objectively better than the original Cherry MX ?

@xero

dev: Jenkins works horribly

me: have you ever seen a Jenkins that worked well?

dev: yes, at my previous job, where it didn't do much, it only ram tests

me: so how did you deploy things?

dev: Through ansible, and you had to first ssh to a thing then to another thing and only then you could run ansible. I hated that.

dev: Being able to deploy through one click in Jenkins is great. But it would be better if I didn't have to wait for so long.'

@piggo yeah, if anything it should be a basketball court

@Suiseiseki
@quad @lanodan
oh but don't you know that working with someone who knows someone who once talked to Stallman makes you responsible for all the social missteps RMS made?

@lanodan @quad
Oh I don't mean Alpine.

I mean uutils and stuff. And not necessarily its devs, but I've seen a few people on fedi cheering for replacing GNU stuff to disassociate themselves from FSF or sth...

@lanodan @quad
wait...

so that small group of people who want to cleanse themselves of GNU will need to rewrite systemd in Rust?

@quad
> Alpine Linux support

Wait, but didn't Alpine switch to systemd? Or were they only talking about doing that in the future?

@mackensen @thomasfuchs oh, because you launch over the Russian Empire which is so vast and empty, that you don't give a fuck if something falls there?

@domi wait, so the DC operator asks you when you're ok with the downtime? That's so cool!

@Suiseiseki
@amonakov
> seems negligible

have you measured it?

> similar card says it has Dynamic MIMO Power save

if this one does too, then you should be able to find out how it works by reading the source code, right?

@Suiseiseki
@amonakov
yeah, ok

Do these cards not have a power-saving feature?

@Suiseiseki
@amonakov
As in, if you let the computer with that card idle, not sending any traffic, and then ping it from the router / access point / another computer on the network, it will still be 2-15ms?

@Suiseiseki
@amonakov
do you think a wifi card that runs free software wouldn't have that feature?
do you know of such a card?

@amonakov
ping from router to my laptop

with powersave on:
30-200ms (highly variable)

with powersave off:
1.5-4ms, usually below 2.1

on a Lenovo mini-PC with QCA6174 (ath10k) I was getting up to 800ms with wifi power-saving on
