ratbert90 posted:RHEL8 wants you to use podman and buildah instead of docker. So far it seems better because you don’t need a daemon to build containers. in what situation do you care about running an extra daemon. is it that computationally expensive?

xfce is fine in whatever form that installs by default on xubuntu or fedora like you're using anything besides a terminal or a web browser anyway, maybe vlc or some music thing? whatever

Cybernetic Vermin posted:one core issue with python is that you had to specify versions twice, going to a recent minor version, to make the recommendation. and that's for a language that's been around since the late 80s. you couldve said one could only recommend it for the past 4 years of its 40 year history, which is fair as a critique, versioning is a project founder piñata

Beamed posted:the rough guideline i use for if i need to move from a python project is if i need to, no joke, make another file. if my script is becoming that unwieldy chances are it needs to move to some real language this is the real correct heuristic but i also give myself leeway at 1k lines of code if its more than that it should be a real thing

Poopernickel posted:basically any of the core unix languages - C, shell-scripts, various DSLs like awk, groff, etc. C++ also, more or less. Also Perl if you're a graybeard or Tcl if you're a circuit hipster you dont have to care about this anymore unless youre doing embedded you should care about the perf of your apps but the p lang jvm runtime just doesnt matter a lot and odds are your bespoke csv or json parser skin for your db doesnt either

is there a good hardware video capture device that's supported decently in linux (fedora or debian if we gotta be specific)? i'd be using obs, and computer itself is kind of old (core 2 duo) but i imagine it could handle 720p encoding/streaming on its own i should probably test obs without said hardware beforehand as well, but the idea is that it'd ONLY handle the video stream not whatever i'm streaming

Perplx posted:https://www.epiphan.com/ is Wendell approved and works without drivers on linux. thank you, but that looks like a standalone device that also costs as much as making a whole new pc would (3.5k starting) maybe the nano will be cheaper? quote:i've heard good things about the flint 4kp also looks good and also offloads encoding, just gotta check that this motherboard has usb3 (this is a very old pc)
