…the one that emulates your real workload. And for me (and probably many of you reading this), that would be “build a kernel as fast as possible.” And for that, I recommend the simple kcbench.

I kcbench mentioned it a few years ago, when writing about a new workstation that Level One Techs set up for me, and I’ve been using that as my primary workstation ever since (just over 5 years!).

Weird. does piefed.world have federation problems? No instance I checked has the updated link in it, not even lemmy.world. I can see that it indeed has been updated in piefed.world, but not in other instances.
