Very impressive work, WireGuard is a phenomenal piece of software, congrats on getting to 1.0

I can see Raymond Chen’s eye twitching at some of those (clever and necessary!) undocumented workarounds though :D

Windows is just a different world I guess

People forget that macOS and even Windows (well, pre-11) excel at swapping. There are all sorts of hacks and tricks they do to make sure the system remains responsive when under severe memory pressure.

This compared to Linux, where desktop environments seem to get noticeably bogged down and stressed out when swapping (the cursor starts stuttering and the shell becomes unresponsive).

Although even KDE does OK on 4gb of RAM in 2026 as long as you only have one instance of Chromium loaded.

Other states that do this well don't start counting mail in ballots until after polls closed. They know if someone voted in person, so their mail in ballot is rejected before being opened and verified.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct

Unfortunately I don't have pictures from before this change, but you used to get 5-6 videos I believe. Now you get two (and maybe one is an ad).

The point is that I made a joke projection in my last post in April that by next May there would be only one video on the homepage, because obviously that would be ridiculous, right? Then I turned on my TV and it happened.

1070 TI works perfect on Arch for the past ~6 months with latest drivers (better than Debian stable!). This card is old enough that only the closed source drivers are supported, but it seems to work fine.

Tangentially related: once I bought a no name Amazon HDMI switch that would cause FM interference but only when the screen was mostly white: https://youtu.be/n2DPLEvwO-k

Another reason to use dark mode I guess
