New comment on BtrFS vs Ext4 performance on random-read/​write operations:

Melroy van den Berg

Any plans to maybe retest BTRFS vs EXT4 again in 2025? I mean we now have blazing fast SSD NVMe. Like the Crucial T705 Gen 5. I believe I see now much better speeds with BTRFS. Can you verify this as well?

New comment on The deafening problem with the FreeStyle Libre 3 app for Android:

I totally agree with everything that is said.

I known this comment might be useless too repeat this complains but there are many T1D with exact the same issues.

I had disabled all alarms on the official freestyle libre app. And i'm using the xDrip+ and AndroidAPS with the nicer alarm options.

New comment on You don’t want to be on Cloudflare’s naughty list:

Doink

I use Tor browser. Broadly, the popular internet has become much harder to access in 2024, in part due to Cloudflare, which must itself be a symptom of challenges with bots. Reddit is hit or miss with its own bot blocker. 4chan is blocked by CF. Youtube is basically useless at this point. Most videos fail to play through to completion. We are really deep into a process of transformation, that will only become more restrictive as internet 'safety' laws pass and come into effect. The end result will probably be no internet without government ID, just like China.

New comment on Review: Dygma Raise split mech­anical key­­board for enthusiasts:

Noexcuses

Wish ai had come across this review earlier before I bought a Raise 2. The folks and some of their “backers” are a bit tone deaf on improving the product which arrived with connectivity issues, firmware issues and generally offered a sub-par experience for a keyboard touted as “premium”. Build quality is good, customer service offers non actionable answers and some folks who bought a Defy have the same issues, still unresolved, after almost a year. Dogma either is content with their offering or just doesn’t want to listen to impartial feedback from folks who put their money into their unfinished product.

why not just use the reset tool for the yubikey? which effectively deregisters it.

New comment on Can you use a WebP file as an Open Graph Protocol image?:

Darek Kay

That's a great post and it once helped me with the decision whether I should use "legacy" formats. By now, the majority of the providers supports WebP (Teams being the only exception I have found), and Facebook even supports AVIF OG images.

Here's my summary: https://darekkay.com/blog/open-graph-image-formats/

Only worked for me if secure boot was disabled, other than that top notch, even on F41 <3

Have you tried xDrip+? It is way better than the Dexcom app for me and I think it works for the freestyle sensors too.
