PSA: if you are on #NixOS unstable and using syncoid to replicate your #zfs datasets and have updated recently (ie you are on zfs 2.2.0) your jobs might be failing!

The workaround to fix this is to put the following in your configuration:

services.syncoid.service.serviceConfig.PrivateUsers = lib.mkForce false;

It's been griping me for YEARS that #syncoid can only give a progress bar for the CURRENT replication task, not for the entire job (when it involves multiple datasets).

The problem is that it relies on an external program for the progress meter, which means you can only meter the one task at a time.

That's gonna change real soon. We gonna have simultaneous progress bars for the current task, and for the ENTIRE set of tasks:

Modern TVs have dimming features that can adjust backlight power in specific parts of the screen, sometimes even at the individual pixel level.

We wanted to see whether adapting BBC content could make use of these features and reduce energy consumption.
