Do you have experience with gaming on NixOS, particularly the Steam/Proton ecosystem? Recent non-reproducible distros like CachyOS and Bazzite have made gaming on Linux extremely accessible. Wondering how this fares in NixOS.

Seconding miniflux, happy user here for ~2 years.

If the web interface is too minimalist/archaic for you, there's plenty of alternative frontends available you can deploy along. Personally, I'm using reminiflux (inspired by Google Reader).

It's not just about traffic. IoT devices (or any other low-powered devices for that matter) also like protobuf because of its comparatively high efficiency.

You said "that Django still lacks". Django no longer lacks CSP and background tasks.

Regarding my edit, you need to differentiate between different types of jobs. Sending an email is okay to do in process. Other (mostly async) Python web frameworks have implemented this, so the Django team probably felt compelled to offer the same. Processing a user-uploaded file is much more expensive and shouldn't be done in the web process. If enough users upload files you're starving your workers for CPU.

CSP is literally in this release, and background workers are intentionally not part of Django because you usually want to offload tasks to other nodes so your CPU can keep serving HTTP requests.

Edit: Background tasks for light work are also included in this release.

This "memory shortage" is not about AI companies needing main memory (which you plug into mainboards), but manufacturers are shifting their production capacities to other types of memory that will go onto GPUs. That brings supply for other memory products down, increasing their market price.

It's actually in the name: R = Redundant, i.e. availability.

I don't know about this exact metrics, but the Backblaze hard drive report is always a very good read when thinking about failure rates. Maybe check it out and see if you'll get your answers there.

But "outdated code" isn't inherently bad, is it? v1 code is still supported by the stdlib and it still does its job, at least until Go 2.x drops.

That's why you can give guidance to crawlers using sitemaps.

> The EU solution meaningfully changes the offending company's behavior.

Citation needed. I'd imagine they just add a tiny markup to their prices to pay the eventual fine instead of investing huge amounts of money into fixing their broken processes. Comparing the list of EU-issued fines against the respective companies' profits shows that they can simply afford to make those mistakes instead of preventing them.
