Disclaimer: I work at Materialize

Recently there have been major improvements in Materialize's memory usage as well as using disk to swap out some data.

I find it pretty easy to hook up to Postgres/MySQL/Kafka instances: https://materialize.com/blog/materialize-emulator/

I'm working on an open source online coop 2d platform game called DDraceNetwork: https://ddnet.org/

A lot of keeping infrastructure running, code reviews for the active developers we have, community management, some development: https://ddnet.org/news/ddnet-year-2021-in-review/

The community is the main reason for me to keep it running. We only cover server costs, but no one takes any payment to work on DDNet.

Destroying the fun for others and wasting time I figure. I received no demands or anything like that.

I'm running an online game on the side and am thus commonly the target of DoS attacks. I guess it's related to this.

Author here. The bandwidth usage was high with many open connections, I fixed that quickly by using LZW encoding instead of sending uncompressed data. I think you are referring to this thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6t8gpq/timegif...

Try again, I think there was an unrelated issue. It load for me on Safari now, but runs super slowly in the beginning, so not as a real time clock.

Author here, my bad. There was a DoS attack against this a while ago and I set too strict limits after that. Didn't expect it to hit Hacker News again. Should be fine now.

Firefox is only Chrome-based on iOS.

  nim --styleCheck:error c x

This enforces the same capitalization style in your code:

  x.nim(1, 5) Error: 'my_var' should be: 'myVar'

I get VP9 videos in Firefox apparently, probably depends on the video and your youtube settings:

Running MOZ_LOG="PlatformDecoderModule:5" firefox shows that VP9 works:

AV1 hw decoding on M1 Pro indeed is not supported even in Firefox.

Thanks, that's good to know, one less thing to need the mouse for!

You are right, vim is not required. SSH I misremembered, didn't install that. The rsync version on macOS is quite old (2006!) and didn't support all the options I wanted to use.

I forgot to mention that I have set hwdec=videotoolbox already, but vp9 and av01 from youtube don't get hw-decoded anyway.

> This is true for Homebrew formula as well, like the mpv formula, just not Homebrew casks. Most casks are proprietary closed source applications.

But even open source casks seem to be taken centrally instead of built again. My guess is that this is to keep the original developers' certificates.

Strange, I had multiple Homebrew builds that took a dmg from some central place, even open-source software like mpv and (my own) DDNet.

There is no power button anymore:

I have not found a way yet to reliably put the device to sleep from keyboard. With a shortcut it wakes immediately, maybe because it registers the letting go of the keys as a wakeup signal.

Since this is for work my choice was between a MacBook or Windows-based laptop. Personally I wouldn't even have considered using anything else than Linux.
