Following its deprecation, this mode is planned for removal in the year 2028. > > The data=journal mode for EXT4 is where all file data and metadata is written to the file-system’s journal before being committed to the main file-system. In the event of a crash or power loss, the journal can then be replayed to recover the data. > > The EXT4 data=journal mode is great for those very concerned about data integrity and safety but comes with significant hits to the write performance compared to the default ordered (data=ordered) mode or data=writeback. Using the journaled mode also disables delayed allocation and Direct I/O support. > > EXT4 journal deprecated > > Per today’s Git merge for Linux 7.3, the EXT4 data=journal feature is deprecated and support for it will be removed in early 2028 following the 2027 Linux LTS kernel version.

The information suggested that the content might concern plans to carry out serious acts. Shortly after 3 a.m. on Wednesday, police officers went to the address they had identified. They found a 47-year-old man there, along with a sleeping child. The officers assessed the situation and spoke with the man. He confirmed that he had been having conversations using artificial intelligence. He explained that he had discussed various topics and developed theories during these conversations, but said that he had no intention of carrying out the plans he had described and considered them unrealistic. According to the information passed to the authorities, the contents of the conversations had been flagged by the system as potentially representing genuine intentions and were subsequently reported. During the conversations, the man described methods of mutilation and killing involving various weapons and substances. French authorities passed the warning to their Polish counterparts, allowing the situation to be checked quickly. An emergency medical team was called to the scene. After an initial conversation and examination, the man was taken to hospital for a medical consultation. Following the consultation, a doctor decided that he should be admitted to a ward for observation.

Please take a peek at the article before joining the discussion, as my limited quote might have dropped useful information > >> The VPN industry runs on a promise. Pick almost any provider and the pitch is the same: “we don’t keep logs.” You hand over your entire internet connection and, in return, you get a pinky-promise that nobody is writing anything down. >> >> For a lot of privacy-minded people, that promise stopped being good enough a while ago. A no-logs policy is only as honest as the company making it, and even an honest company can be hacked, subpoenaed, or quietly acquired. >> >> Obscura VPN is trying to answer to that problem. Instead of asking you to trust its word, it splits the job across two independent companies so that neither one can tie your identity to your browsing. The first hop is Obscura’s own servers; the exit hop is run by Mullvad. a respected VPM company out of Sweden. Your traffic is end-to-end encrypted to Mullvad’s keys, so Obscura literally can’t read it, and Mullvad never sees who you are.

submitted by nark3d to programming 20 points | 28 comments A comment is worth leaving. I’ve come round to thinking there isn’t one that explains what the code does. If you need a sentence to say what a block is for, the block is telling the wrong story. Rename the function. The comment disappears because nothing needed explaining. People hear when I say this that I want no comments at all. A comment that explains why, or cites the paper the algorithm came from, or records the incident that made this branch exist, is doing work the code cannot do. That kind of note belongs next to the module and ages fine. The one I want gone is the running narration, the line above the loop that says what the loop does. Those rot first, because the code underneath them changes and the sentence above it doesn’t. This is not a style preference. A comment is a second copy of the meaning. The code does what it does and the comment says what it used to do. The reader now has to decide which one to believe. That’s worse than no explanation at all, because the wrong one is right there in the same file looking authoritative. Agents have made me firmer on it rather than softer. A developer reading a vague function works the intent out from everything around it. An agent takes the function name and the comment at face value and builds on whichever it read last, so a lazy name becomes the vocabulary for the next twenty files. The code is the meaning because the code is what gets copied. If the meaning isn’t obvious, the move is always the same: rename the function, split it, improve the parameter names. Look again and look harder before you reach for the comment. The full write-up is at prickles.org/tenet/self-documenting-code/F5

Fluxer’s federation will be based on polyproto-core, a specification from the polyproto project, with our own extensions on top. polyproto is still young, and we hope that building a real implementation of it, and sharing what we learn, helps the specification mature and benefits everyone else who builds on it. > >> polyproto-core describes an identity that works across servers. Your identity is anchored on your home server and looks like name@domain. Behind it is a certificate that your home server signs over a key created on your device. To prove who you are to another server, your device signs a challenge from that server, so one identity works across servers and you don’t need a separate account on each. Messages are signed by the sender, so a server you visit can’t forge messages from you without being detected, as long as your home server and your device haven’t been compromised. The specification also defines how to move to a new home server. > >> polyproto-core is an early beta specification maintained by the Polyphony project. As of October 2026 it is at v1.0-beta.13. It focuses on identity and leaves message formats and chat features to extensions. We’ll write our own extensions for Fluxer’s features and propose changes to the protocol where they would help others too. > >> We’ll publish an experimental draft pull request in 2026 that you can try and give feedback on. The stable release follows in 2027. Until the draft is up, the discussion happens in Fluxer Labs, and you’re welcome to join in. > >> You can already sign in to several instances from one app. You sign in to each instance separately and switch between them. The mobile apps already support several instances and accounts, and the desktop app gets the same in early October 2026 with the update described in #2.

submitted by indidev to programming 8 points | 1 comments So I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I run a small screenshot API - nothing huge, mix of free and paid users. The thing is, most people who actually use it don’t even log into the dashboard. They just wrote their integration code once and forgot about us lol But here’s what bugs me - there’s a decent chunk of users who signed up, got their API key, and then… nothing. Zero requests. Ever. Is it even worth sending them emails? Like “hey you signed up 3 months ago, here’s how to get started” kind of thing. Part of me thinks if someone couldn’t be bothered to make a single API call, no email is gonna change that. They probably just signed up while evaluating options and went with something else. On the other hand maybe they just got distracted or the docs weren’t clear enough at the time? For those of you running API products or dev tools - do you bother with re-engagement emails for users who never made a single request? Or is it just noise at that point

Some argue in favor of classic X.Org delivering the lowest latency while others routinely share their own personal anecdotes and argue in favor of modern Wayland solutions. NVIDIA engineer Kamil Łysik took to a Wayland vs. X.Org latency comparison from key press to presentation. For ensuring accurate measurements, a micro-controller was used along with a light sensor for end-to-end measurements. Paired with software for repeatable and automated testing. > > Testing with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card and using the company’s R610 driver branch, tests were done on KDE KWin 6.7.4 and GNOME Mutter 49.7 and the X.Org Server tests using v1.21.1.24. > > NVIDIA latency Wayland vs. X.Org results > > NVIDIA’s findings were that the latency results between X.Org and Wayland are very close with it being hard to conclude a clear winner. Some notable takeaways include that XWayland no longer introduces extra frame delays where it had in the past with an extra frame latency. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) was also measured to “drastically improve” responsiveness and deliver roughly the same latency between both X.Org and Wayland based sessions. > > Those interested can find the NVIDIA presentation this X.Org vs. Wayland latency topic embedded above.

The good news is that instead of dropping the project, the company plans to open-source both versions so other developers or organizations can keep them going. > > For Linux users, this is a big shift for a browser that had just started to show real promise. Orion first came to Linux in early alpha at the start of the year, then officially entered beta in August. > > Now, only a few months later, Kagi says the current Linux Beta will keep working, but it will stop getting updates from the company after October 2, 2026. Kagi also warns users not to use the beta as their main browser. The main reason is limited resources. > > Kagi says only a small team of developers works on Orion, and the project is funded entirely by Kagi users. Expanding Orion beyond Apple platforms was always a big challenge, especially since the company chose not to use Chromium as its base. > > Instead, Orion uses WebKit, which makes it one of the few browsers trying to offer an alternative to the many Chromium-based ones. > > Kagi says that keeping a browser running on multiple platforms usually requires either a lot of funding or a big open-source community. Since Kagi has neither, it will now focus its limited resources on Orion for macOS and iOS. > > The work done on Linux and Windows will be released as open source instead. > > Kagi plans to publish the source code for both versions and share more details within 30 days of the announcement. The company has also reached out to open-source foundations and organizations about possibly taking over the projects in the long term. > > However, Kagi makes it clear that it does not plan to be the main maintainer of either open-source project. Any future updates will depend on developers or organizations willing to take over the code. > > In short, Orion for Linux’s future depends on what happens after the source code is released and whether a community forms to maintain it. For now, the current beta still works, but without future security updates or maintenance from Kagi, it likely won’t be a good daily browser for long. > > For more details, see the official announcement
