Well shit. I wonder if all Linux systems are affected, the testing in the repo doesn’t cover Arch for instance. For now I’d assume the answer is yes.

I agree. LFS is a project, Gentoo is a system you can actually rely on. LFS is fun to go through but not on your main machine IMHO.

Looks nice, gonna try it later

Has something changed recently? Last time I looked at Servo it was just an engine, not a full browser. The servo project wants others to use their rendering engine to create browsers and use it as an alternative to Electron.

Yeah, if we lump microcode and firmware into the mix the list of working systems gets very short.

To expand on this: most Linux users have some proprietary software on their computer. Whether it’s a GPU driver, a video codec, or some applications they find useful. While it is possible to use a computer with a fully FOSS distro I don’t think that’s the norm.

I can’t wait to get a rental car that doesn’t allow me to use my own maps.

I recently tried it again on arch and had serious steam issues, any tips?

ARM = Acorn Risc Machine

How do we murder it quickly

Ok, fair point about it being in Snow Crash. I can forgive it a little bit now. I still don’t love the name, and I think we should come up with something better for the eventual fediverse version of the same idea.

Let’s stop giving meta credit. Metaverse is a shit name anyway. Cyberspace is cooler and it’s still not that cool.

I had this issue at work, I was able to fix it by using the windows media creation tool instead of just writing the iso to the drive. Not sure why that worked, but it has every time so far.

A thin client for a NAS? That’s a hard no for me. Take the GPU out if you don’t need it, put a more efficient PSU and it will sip power as long as you aren’t running 27 virtual machines on it. I guess it’s more space than a thin client, but I have no idea how you are getting multiple HDDs or SSDs in a tc. USB is trash at long term data storage, and having a bunch of external drives and cables isn’t superior to a slightly bigger box. Not to mention anything that’s actually sold as a thin client probably won’t run ZFS very well if at all. If it’s not ZFS and it’s not hardware raid what the hell is the point of having network storage? Save the TC for a docker host or host a VM on your NAS that it can connect to instead.

TrueNAS. More control for slightly more work up front. Hardware will be easier to maintain. Lots of gamer desktops that won’t run Win11 available that probably have enough SATA ports to get the job done.

Have you ever scanned a book? It’s an arduous process and I don’t think most people would go through all the hassle. The files will also never look as clean as an ebook that was made from scratch. There are plenty of other readers and book stores that aren’t at this level of greed, and most libraries have some way to borrow ebooks these days.

I’ve been using Qobuz for a few years. I’m on android and the car app is fine, but not amazing. I haven’t had any drop outs but I choose CD quality on cell service and download a lot of my favorite albums.

They most likely use a third party like mimecast or the built-in encryption in outlook. I also haven’t had an issue between PGP and GPG but I’m not a heavy user.

Even blenders have safeguards though, if the pitcher isn’t installed most won’t work. I don’t think it’s insane to require some sort of safety with LLMs.

I mean, how long should a laptop work? OP said it was pretty old, these things happen. I totally understand wanting to keep what you have going as long as you can, but hard drives have a lifespan and it’s usually around 3 years of constant use. SSD are a little better but flash still ages. Not ideal but at a certain point you kinda gotta accept that it’s not long for this world if you don’t do maintenance.
