  • hoping it is secure I think the key is here. WhatsApp is so convenient, because everyone has it, that it better be secure in people’s minds. Otherwise it means you have to go and compare different alternatives, explain them to your contacts, etc. This is a struggle that I’ve seen around here multiple times already.


  • Here are some results from my Pinebook Pro, with compsize:

    compsize -x /
    Processed 158309 files, 103091 regular extents (114530 refs), 72799 inline.
    Type       Perc     Disk Usage   Uncompressed Referenced  
    TOTAL       57%      3.2G         5.6G         7.0G       
    none       100%      2.0G         2.0G         2.4G       
    zstd        33%      1.2G         3.5G         4.5G
    
    compsize -x /home
    Processed 7203 files, 15051 regular extents (22906 refs), 1738 inline.
    Type       Perc     Disk Usage   Uncompressed Referenced  
    TOTAL       99%       28G          29G          29G       
    none       100%       28G          28G          28G       
    zstd        30%       99M         330M         363M       
    prealloc   100%      4.0M         4.0M          34M
    

    Where there is easily-compressible data (/), the gains are definitely here. I’ve even reached as low as 49% on my main machine, also with ZSTD set to 3.

    However, where the data is not so easily compressible like /home, where I mostly have music and games, the compression is almost non existent.

    I haven’t measured it, but I’m pretty sure there is a performance improvement even on the Pinebook Pro’s weak CPU. Reading 100MB of data and uncompressing it is faster than having to read 200MB directly, especially on very weak/slow disks.










  • Thanks, now the images can be pulled. However I get an error with the lemmy_lemmy-ui_1 container:

    note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
    thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to load settings file: LemmyError { inner: No such file or directory (os error 2) }', crates/utils/src/settings/mod.rs:12:34
    

    The other containers don’t show any error, but the website doesn’t load. Should I open a bug on github?
