Just learnt about `ksmbd`, a Linux kernel SMB server introduced in 5.15 and stable since 6.6โ€”perfect for Raspberry Pi OS on 6.6. It enables faster Samba SMB file shares without needing `samba` and its heavy dependencies. Simple, efficient, and high-performance.

๐Ÿ“œ https://30fps.net/pages/videogame-shadows/

Hah, today I learnt that the wireframe 'CGI' in Escape from New York, used for Snake Plissken to make a stealthy glider entry into the lawless prison island by air, was actually 'faked' by building a model of Manhattan covered in reflective tape. In 1981 this was the cheaper solution for a movie with limited budget
