Already using it on a 3 drive gaming PC on NixOS and it's been great so far. The caching algo massively speeds up interactions and load times.

Hope you continue the good work and best of luck.


Given that banana countries were a thing, I think it wouldn't be completely out of character for the US to enforce it's (it's own companies) interests. But I don't think it will be war, but rather soft-power.


To be fair to them, some Linux defaults are atrocious IMHO.

For example mq-deadline ALWAYS performs badly in desktop tasks. Launching a Steam download alone is enough to kill a Linux machine using that scheduler. Therefore I feel like we need this.


Unfortunately it tends to do so randomly (was using foot for like 3 or so years by now). And in the end you'll only ever end up saving single digits of RAM. I suggest using server mode *only* on a RAM constrained device like a SBC or a embedded device (Tablet running Linux).

PS: i am issue number 3 hueh


Same here in Serbia, I'm guessing this document is being geo restricted via IP.


Actually, same for me in California, USA! If I click the google result, it opens properly. If I click the direct link, it doesn't.

I've already made this into a all-in-one program: https://github.com/nikp123/wake-on-arp/

but i do agree with the others in this thread, it's quite a hassle to keep this setup working as intended.

I'd advise against wherever possible, consider investing into an efficient PC:

My current home server thing runs at only 22W while idle and costed me (including storage and networking) about 150eur.

But if it's done for the fun of it, I have nothing against it.
