Natural, organic milk does. What you are probably used to is pasteurized, and treated with short bursts of heat. Since at least 20 years, for almost anything milky which you can find in the refrigerated parts of stores. I'm not talking about the stuff which doesn't need to be cooled, until opened, that's heated even longer, and pasteurized harder.
What? Raw milk doesn't expire in 3 days either. More like 2 weeks. And butter unlike cheese has no problem being made from pastueurized milk, so I'm not sure why you'd bring that up.
I've brought that up in response to milk doesn't go bad that fast. Which is against my experience. Maybe I should have that defined more precise?
Under which storage conditions? Refrigerated? Check. Closed container? Check. Climate? Any time of the year, central Europe. Check. Any time of the year somewhere in the Rockies, on the 'Western Slope', at 2600m altitude. Check. After 3 to 4 days it begins to smell and taste different. After which I won't touch/consume it anymore.
I'd be really interested in the stuff lasting 2 weeks, and the conditions under which that's possible?
edit: Again, not that highly pasteurized, homogenized, otherwise treated stuff, but fresh from the cows udder (let's call this really raw milk, which isn't on shelves anywhere, AFAIK), or only the slightest treatmeant, like 'fully organic/bio', which nowadays has a refrigerated shelf life of something like 2 weeks, there aren't any other options anymore. It's all treated. And that stuff still goes bad after opening in a few days.
When proper raw milk starts to go bad, you can keep it at room temperature for a day or so and get something similar to yoghurt. It was done all the time when I was little. I grew up on a farm; the milk came from another farm in the village by the time I had been born.
That may be the case, but isn't what I meant to say, which was just the (refrigerated) shelf-live of the stuff for drinking, and preparation of other stuff, assuming drinkability of it.
Secondary usage of it for other stuff is another matter.
All I know is that I used to buy raw milk from a local farm and it lasted about 2 weeks in the fridge until it tasted bad. Google suggests it lasts 1-2 weeks. I keep my fridge colder than the recommended settings.
Maybe jumbo-frames for your LAN, but I wouldn't expect too much from that.
Since you're already running Arch, try including CachyOs's highly optimized repositories, kernel, interesting scheduling options, and endless other goodies?
It's not for gamers only. One doesn't even need to use most of their utilities for noobs, though some are convenient, like switching through schedulers and their settings with a few clicks.
Trying Openj9 is a great idea, I'm curious how it will stack up against Hotspot for this use case.
I haven't personally tried CatchyOs (if you're actively using it I'd love to hear what you think about it). Though I figure I'll eventually have to try fiddling with the scheduler, so i'll look into it. Thank you for your response!
I'm actively using it since about 2 years, and it has never failed me so far. BUT that depends on your chosen path during installation, and the quality of your BIOS/UEFI, other firmware, and used GPUs, if any. Like with any other distro...
My path was Btrfs for the whole single SSD, so no RAID, no encryption, no trouble.
Systemd-boot as boot-manager as default at the time, by now you can also have GRUB or Limine with bootable Btrfs-snapshots. I didn't see the need to change, though.
Desktop Environment is KDE/Plasma, which may be best supported. I don't know about the others, because since later Plasma 5 it has been more than good enough for me, so I didn't try.
(Just FVWM2 for 'the lulz' by myself, but it makes no sense anymore, because you don't save that much RAM, when your'e using applications pulling in all sorts of deps anyway.)
On my obsolete all Intel hardware it ran fantastically fast and rock solid from day one without any hickups, glitches, or crashes. I had some programs from the AUR crash on me, but that wasn't really the AURs, or Cachys fault, just bitrotten apps, like Hexchat, which got fixed meanwhile. But there is KVirc, in QT, so why care? Shrug?
What else to expect? There seems to be some animosity from parts of the Arch-community towards Cachy, because of percieved bugginess, and being flooded with support questions from Cachy-users, pestering them, without telling they are using Cachy.
So don't do that? ;-)
Maybe that is because Cachy has no IRC, only Discord and a webforum. I've looked into both and they are mostly noise with bad SNR to me. Most people have either bad(ly supported) HW, or are 'holding it wrong'. Again, that happens with all distros.
If you state your problem clearly, you'll get help, on both sides.
It just so happens that I never needed any, since I'm doing this cybershit since about 1985 :-)
That leads me to share another observation: During and after install I never really needed to intervene. But I did check, and still do check everything that changes. However, besides the rarely needed changes/edits for something in /etc, I never needed that. No difference to Arch at all. It just works.
At least on my hardware, and my chosen path like Btrfs, bootloader, login-manager, DE, it wasn't necessary. I could have just blindly clicked "Yes, Yes, come on, gimme the hot stuff!' all along.
I'm not using their graphical pacman-frontends, just pacman in Konsole(how lame, I know...), and meanwhile 'yay' too, because someone here pointed me to it.
Check it out, see if it works good with your needed drivers, for your hardware, in the ways they compile and link the stuff, optimizing the shit out of it.
Revert to plain Arch if not. Nothing lost but a little bit of time.
Maybe much won, because of WOW!1!! ;->
Edit: I forgot, they have something like an installation manual/wiki mix, not as comprehensive as Archs, but usable as an overview of all the optimizations they do.
I'd suggest reading that first before doing anything with it:
Wow, this is a lot of great info/sources. I can't thank you enough! I think I'm sold, honestly. I've been looking for an excuse to ditch my laptop's quasi-vestigial Windows partition. I dualboot for once a blue moon gaming, since I'm also on Wayland and neither games nor electron apps play nice.
I think for part 2 the move will be to overwrite the Windows partition on the laptop with Catchy and go from there. I'm excited to see the outcome.
One that doesn't need some form of 'login', 'account', or client.
While this site seems to be the well intentioned and not shady, technically it offers nothing more than what https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls as a free to use for all byproduct of their other offerings. It just has better presentation, and maybe finer granularity via their client? Who knows? In practice it isn't needed.
