Btrfs development update | Josef Bacik’s Blog Deploying Btrfs at Facebook Scale - Josef Bacik, Facebook - YouTube The Latest On The Linux 5.9 Kernel Regression Stemming From Page Lock Fairness - Phoronix — Last week we reported on a Linux 5.9 kernel regression following benchmarks from Linux 5.0 to 5.9 and there being a sharp drop with the latest development kernel. That kernel regression was bisected to code introduced by Linus Torvalds at the start of the Linux 5.9 kernel cycle. Unfortunately it's not a trivial problem and one still being analyzed in coming up with a proper solution.Linux Mailing List - Re: Kernel Benchmarking Making apps for Linux, a proposal — I have a few thoughts on this topic, and so does Alan Pope, and so we got chatting and put together a proposal for a programming environment for making simple apps in a way that new developers could easily grasp. We were quite pleased with it as a concept, but: it didn’t get selected for further development. Oh well, never mind. But the ideas still seem good to us, so I think it’s worth publishing the proposal anyway so that someone else has the chance to be inspired by it, or decide they want it to happen.Direct link to Core Contributors Downloads Page Feedback: IDEs and Editors Feedback: Nextcloud (and borg too) GitHub - geigi/cozy — A modern audio book player for Linux using GTK+ 3.OpenAudible — Audio Book ManagerBoot from USB · Issue #28 · raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom · GitHub
