idk let’s ask yaml

Imagine paying anything for proton services.

AFAIK this has already been a problem, you can find Samsung M.2 SSDs for cheaper than Samsung SATA SSDs at the same capacity, because their cloud customers have all flown past classic SATA/SAS for NVME U.2 and U.3, which is much more similar to M.2 due to NVME.

I was planning on adding a big SSD array to my server which has a bunch of external 2.5 SAS slots, but it ended up being cheaper and faster to buy a 4 slot M.2 PCIe card and buy 4 M.2 drives instead.

Putting it on a x16 PCIe slot gives me 4 lanes per drive with bifurication, which gets me the advertised maximum possible speed on PCIe 4.

Whether or not the RAM surge will affect chip production capacity is the real issue. It seems all 3 OEMs could effectively reduce capacity for all other components after slugging billions of dollars into HBM RAM. It wouldn’t just be SSDs, anything that relies on the same supply chain could be heavily affected.

This looks like it was made to justify those insane text editors with “GPU acceleration” as if text editing requires interop with Vulkan.

zsh was and I think still is technically an extended superset of bash.

It’s pretty much exactly what you’re looking for if you want bash scripting with fish features and plugin extensibility.

The downside is you gotta take some time to set up your .zhrc and choose if you want to use a backend like oh-my-zsh.

I think the reason its on MIT license was because it was essentially just a bunch of scripts bundled together and maintained by a wide variety of people with no intention of making it the default shell like fish or bash is.

If you plan on building a proper pirate ship, a good place to start is https://trash-guides.info/.

Although I would highly recommend automating it with https://github.com/raydak-labs/configarr

How I sleep knowing Fedora + podman actually uses safe firewalld zones out of box instead of expecting the user to hack around with the clown show that is ufw.

I could be wrong here but I feel like the answer is in the docs itself:

If you are running Docker with the iptables or ip6tables options set to true, and firewalld is enabled on your system, in addition to its usual iptables or nftables rules, Docker creates a firewalld zone called docker, with target ACCEPT.

All bridge network interfaces created by Docker (for example, docker0) are inserted into the docker zone.

Docker also creates a forwarding policy called docker-forwarding that allows forwarding from ANY zone to the docker zone.

Modify the zone to your security needs? Or does Docker reset the zone rules ever startup? If this is the same as podman, the docker zone should actually accept traffic from your public zone which has your physical NIC, which would mean you don’t have to do anything since public default is to DROP.

Someone I personally knew almost gave up on Linux because their mint install would have screen tearing issues due to an outdated driver module and kernel, since Mint follows close to Ubuntu’s kernel releases which are slow.

Cutting edge and bleeding edge kernels is one of Linux’s biggest strengths because 99% of driver modules are in the kernel, so keeping it up to date will significantly reduce the chances of issues with your hardware, especially if its anything new.

You dont need to know the version, but knowing that your updates are based on cutting edge latest stable is what can save you from driver headaches.

relaxes in XFCE

Do these updates not go through any rigorous testing at all

Lol no, MSFT infamously dropped their entire Hardware QA team after WIndows 7 and instead relied on the also infamous insider hub to get QA “feedback” from home users instead, leading to the also infamous Windows 8 disaster and slightly less infamous critical CVEs that went unaddressed because MSFT ddidn’t even bother to read the insider hub posts.

Oh and they didn’t learn anything and kept running with the insider hub well into Windows 10 & 11.

“btw can you please install the latest nvidia drivers?”

“latest?”

switches back to Fedora

I’m honestly surprised TV OEMs haven’t bothered to at least try throwing in DisplayPort, especially during the period of time it far exceeded the highest possible quality on HDMI.

HDMI is just the last hardware standard created from the ashes of the format wars that has no practical place anymore. It only exists to collect hostage licensing fees.

Same for Capital One, the card that people get because of no foreign transaction fees.

LIke they straight-up tell you “Oh there’s no need for you to notify us of travel, your card will just work” and upon every use you get smacked with a 2FA verification that’s tied to your local phone number, so you’re basically screwed if you don’t have service or service over WiFi.

No reason for a full compatibility layer when we already have GNOME

Ah I said it backwards lol.

Yeah same with libhoudini. Problem is I could only get fortnite to execute with libndk, but it would crash when trying to do stuff with Vulkan. Would seem to complelty ignore libhoudini which was weird.

And before anyone asks, not because I want to play Fortnite, but because I inadvertently left some poor kid on Fedora where they can play all of their favorite games perfectly fine except fortnite lol.

They sort if did this with Windoes Vista, but instead of fixing issues, they just removed a ton of vulnerable code, which resulted in a bunch of dropped features lol.

Biggest two issues with Waydroid are x86 to ARM translation and correct GPU passthrough:

https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/2115

In theory, you should be able to just play Fortnite on linux this way, but I haven’t been able to get it to launch like this guy did.

People have also been calling Waydroid dead for a while now which I dont know how true it is.

Same, I enjoy the classic shared library and package system which I still feel is superior to flatpak versions in most cases, even ignoring the technical aspects of each.

Tried silverblue once and it just felt more like android to me, and I even found myself using RPM layers almost immediately for core things that dont ship as Flatpak because its infeasible.

Plus Bazzite has its own release schedule which I feel like slightly removes the benefit of Fedora kernels being cutting edge, with critical packages updated almost as fast as Arch.

The good thing though is that it’s much more dummy proof, so I would feel comfortable letting anyone use it with zero experience, whereas I only recommend Fedora to those who have an inherent interest in Linux.

Really wanna try a perma switch from Fedora just cuz they include a nice grub theme lmao.

Plus I like that its proper rolling instead of staged releases.

wth is the point of a guest network if you have 443 blocked lmao.

Even my VPN port is 443 so it gets past basic port filtering because HTTPS is usually the only one allowed compared to other protocols.
