Many people seem weirdly suspicious about Google's #Brotli compression while being weirdly chill about Facebook's #ZSTD, to the point of commenting on posts about Brotli compression being added to things to the effect of, "This is a conspiracy by Google, they clearly should've chosen ZSTD instead". What's up with that? Is Google really so much less scary than 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬?

(This is a subtweet about a certain HN post about Brotli compression coming to #PDF)

I wish my machine had more RAM for zstd level 22

#zstd

If you use #btrfs on kernels ranging from 6.12 to 6.19 and get the error:

VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown_block(0,0)

Add the 'btrfs' and 'microcode' hooks to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf via chroot and rerun initramfs generation.

If that doesn't help install `intel-ucode.img` and add it to your grub boot parameters in the initrd list.

If that still doesn't help (happens on Intel 3770k and older) disable #zstd initramfs compression, use gzip instead.

You are welcome

#initramfs #microcode

This!

But sadly this doesn't work since I do #zstd...

Den CX23 mal fix auf einen CPX62 hochskailiert, die 190GB ausgepacktem Daten wieder auf 116GB via #zstd über alle 16 Kerne kleinprügeln und jetzt kann ichs endlich runterladen!

Aber natürlich vorher den CPX61 wieder auf den CX23 herunterskailiert!

Issues with PHP PIE this morning building a Docker image. Seems to be failing to auth against Github on one of the installs here "Could not authenticate against github.com”. Other extensions seem ok though 🤔
