Nice operating system. Just lacks a good editor

What’s a womanual?

Everone claims their software is fast. When stating that it is written in a native language it is actually believable.

It also makes sense in a business context, because Rust enables memory safety at native speed, and enables building more reliable software due to its strong type system.

Safety and reliability are business critical in many industries.

It is. Security problem in core library? Good luck waiting for 27 randos releasing an update. Whereas the distro updates it even before the issue becomes public.

You’re not an idiot, you just misremembered. It happens

They’ll probably dial it back once the hype settles

Because it makes doing the things I want to do with a computer difficult and annoying.

Now you jinxed it

Btw I use Debian

Default is 0. Also, processes inherit the priority of their parent.

This is another reason why starting the desktop environment as a whole with a different prio won’t work: the compiler is started as a child of the editor or shell which is a child of the DE so it will also have the changed prio.

Critical operating system tasks run at -19. If they don’t get priority it will create all kinds of problems. Audio often runs below 0 as well, at perhaps -2, so music doesn’t stutter under load. Stuff like that.

How do you expect the system to know what program is important to you and which isn’t?

The windows solution is to switch tasks very often and to do a lot of accounting to ensure fair distribution. This results in a small but significant performance degradation. If you want your system to perform worse overall you can achieve this by setting the default process time slice value very low - don’t come back complaining if your builds suddently take 10-20% longer though.

The correct solution is for you to tell the system what’s important and what is not so it can do what you want properly.

You might like to configure and use the auto nice deamon: https://and.sourceforge.net/

No. This will wreak havoc. At most at -1 but I’d advise against that. Just spawn the lesser-prioritised programs with a positive value.

nice +5 cargo build

nice is a program that sets priorities for the CPU scheduler. Default is 0. Goes from -19, which is max prio, to +19 which is min prio.

This way other programs will get CPU time before cargo/rustc.

I see you’ve met my employer

It’s spelled flak, not flack. It’s from the German word Flugabwehrkanone which literally means aerial defense cannon.

I know, I use port forwarding. I simply improved the script for my needs and put it in a systemd service. It’s been working well for some time now.

Also, most other providers don’t allow port forwarding at all. Proton is being nice here.

This is about LLMs, not Linux.
