    The resolution is actually quadrupled by doubling the value of both axes. In this case going from 1500x1424 (2.1MP) to 3504x3327 (11.7MP) multiplies the total number of pixels by 5.4

    With the same level of jpeg compression you’d expect it to jump from 700KB to roughly 4MB. Since both images are the same file format, the rest of the file size difference is likely attributable to less jpeg compression being used in the larger image.

    ssh predates the specification, exists somewhat independently of even the idea of a desktop (not common to see xdg env variables like XDG_CONFIG in a headless environment, for example), and uses the homedir/.ssh directory on both the client and server side of a connection. I think it’s less to do with security and more to do with uniformity for something as important as ssh - ssh doesn’t need to change to use the xdg spec, and xdg doesn’t need to allot anything special for ssh when it’s already uniform across the unix spectrum

    If you can find a cheap used micro-form-factor pc with hdmi output (eg thinkcentre m93p), that’s a great sustainable way to go. Stick debian on it, get a cheap tiny bluetooth keyboard/trackpad, stream via web browser. Bonus if it’s got a dvd player, for the ultimate utilitarian foss htpc.





  • One benefit of base 12 and base 60 over base 10 for everyday use with things like time is simple factorization. You can divide 12 hours evenly into halves, thirds, quarters, and sixths, and 60 minutes evenly into halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, tenths, etc. With base 10, you’ve just got halves and fifths.
