MNByChoice,

Why isn’t this just the default?

One may notice that for every new method, the old ways stay around, possibly forever. It is not the default because there were things that worked prior to flatpak. The distros that from before flatpak have likely added the capability, but won’t likely change their default for another decade, or more.

MNByChoice,

Way easier to lie about it. Just pick babies out to be indentured servants for life to repay some imagined debts. Maybe make them feel it was their fault for not paying off the debt previously. We could even target kids from poor families for this, so they have less hope of fighting back.

We did this already, a bunch of times.

I tried, I really did

I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able...

MNByChoice,

You tried. That is far more than many people. Good for you!

I have had similar experiences, but from Linux to other OSes. The mental models for using them are really different, and those don’t get enough discussion.

MNByChoice,

I don’t know that most people can tell the difference between an Allosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

MNByChoice,

I apologize, but is that spelled correctly? I am finding several variations of the spelling with wildly different creatures.

Simosaurus versus Siamosaurus versus Sonorasaurus

MNByChoice,

Shit. I am a bit shocked how many critters have names similar for a random riff. 😂

MNByChoice,

No. Lots of people think pedestrians have to get out of the way of bicyclists.

Additionally, the crashes hurt and people can be killed regardless of the participants, so separation is good.

I have had great luck with my users’ home directories on ZFS. No issues in years. Used to have issues, and on those days I was glad root was on ext3.

I had issues with btrfs about 10 years ago. It is much better now.

Both experiences with Linux.

A different ZFS partition per user is really helpful for quota and migration.

MNByChoice,

A number line, or any approximation, would work.

The problem sheet, or the one prior, likely have an example of the answer format as well.

MNByChoice,

I disagree with the premise that Android is Linux “fixed”. Sudo is a bridge for privilege compartmentalization. There is root on Android.

And for many of those points there is a solution, but not one many want to use. SELinux is poorly document and has a bad reputation, but does work. File systems can be mounted as to not execute anything on them.

Good topic idea though, I just disagree with the specific examples.

Linux file transfer speed bottlenecks?

I’m currently watching the progress of a 4tB rsync file transfer, and i’m curious why the speeds are less than the theoretical read/write maximum speeds of the drives involved with the transfer. I know there’s a lot that can effect transfer speeds, so I guess i’m not asking why my transfer itself isn’t going faster....

Looks like you have your answer, but there are a crazy number of possible issues.

The biggest cause is misreading the performance specs.

A partial list of other options:
Mechanical drives store data in rings. Outer rings have higher speeds than inner due to constant angular velocity.
Seeks cost a lot of throuput on mechanical drives.
Oversubscribed drive cables.
HBA issues.
PCIe data path conflicts
Slow RAM
RAM full or busy
Extra cpy within RAM
NUMA path issues (of drives are connected to different NUMA nodes. Not an issue on desktops.)
CPU too busy
Transfer software doing extra things
File system doing extra.
RAID doing extra.
NIC on a different NUMA node than HBA (can be good or bad).
NIC sharing the data path in a conflicting way.

There are others. Start with checking theoretical performance from data sheets.

Also, details matter, and I don’t have enough of them to guess.

MNByChoice,

I don’t like that Opera now has an AI integrated.

I don’t know that this article is compelling. Their main source of information was discredited in the article.

MNByChoice,

I am, perhaps, too judgemental.

Since Hindenburg directly profits from the company’s decline in stock, it’s not an impartial source of information, but the company’s other reports into companies like Nikola have held up to scrutiny.

MNByChoice,

I don’t understand why people on here want so much to strengthen them ever further.

It is about a lawless company doing lawless things. Some of us want companies to follow the spirit, or at least the letter, of the law. We can change the law, but we need to discuss that.

MNByChoice,

Why would it matter if the cheat is from hardware or software?

MNByChoice,

Sounds like you both did the mature thing and discussed your interest and expectations. May want to revisit that conversation with her.

Her having a friend prompt you too talk with her the first time is a bit worrying, she may be running an old dating script. It is unlikely that you will both default to the same script, so skip that and just talk.

Sorry, my fellow human, but this may not work out.

MNByChoice,

Direct Memory Access Design (‘DMA’) is the name of the studio. This is not about the technology Direct Memory Access, DMA.

Good story though.

MNByChoice,

The vactrain dream only sleeps.

MNByChoice,

ZFS is a large consu6 of RAM. I would think putting swap in ZFS is a terrible idea. I have not checked current recommendations.

MNByChoice,

Weird. Guess Reddit needs to put more resources into moderation.

Edit: Finished reading article, and it may be slightly more complicated than that, but not by much.

MNByChoice,

Does someone sell the cartridge? I would like to play it on my N64.
