Israel’s Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled unanimously that the military must begin drafting ultra-Orthodox men for compulsory service, a landmark decision that could lead to the collapse of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition as Israel continues to wage war in Gaza....
Thinking about it, the SoC idea could stop at the southern boundary of the chipset in x86 systems.
Include DDR memory controller, PCI controller, USB controllers, iGPU’s etc. most of those have migrated into x86 CPU’s now anyway (I remember having north and south bridge chipsets!)
Leave the rest of the system: NIC’s, dGPU’s, etc on the relevant busses.
I haven’t wanted an Intel processor for years. Their “innovation” is driven by marketing rather than technical prowess.
The latest batch of 13900k and again with 14900k power envelope microcode bullshit was the final “last” straw.
They were more interested in something they could brand as a competitor to ryzen. Then left everyone who bought one (and I bought three at work) holding the bag.
We’ve not made the same mistake again.
Intel dying and its corpse being consumed by its competitors is a fairy tale ending.
The films were as perfectly cast as possible, and the elves were portrayed perfectly too. You definitely got the feeling that they all were immortal, ancient, and dripping with the arrogance and composure that would bring.
Among my favourite takes on the Culture is, I think, from Consider Phlebas: that the Minds basically keep humanity as pets, and everyone is just fine with that thank you very much.
I’m in the process of starting a proper backup solution however over the years I’ve had a few copy-paste home directory from different systems as a quick and dirty solution. Now I have to pay my technical debt and remove the duplicates. I’m looking for a deduplication tool....
I got as far as using fdupe to identify duplicates and delete the extras. It was slow.
Thinking about some of the other comments… If you use a tool to create hardlinks first, then one could then traverse the entire tree and deleting a file if it has more than one hardlink. The two phases could be done piecemeal and are cancelable and restartable.
Backup backup backup! If you have btrfs them just take a snapshot first: instantly.
One could do a non-destructive rename first. E.g. prepend deleteme. to the file name, sanity check it, then ‘rollback’ by renaming back without the prefix or commit and delete anything with the prefix.

That is literally the problem. People resistant to change (willfully or not) don’t want RCV.
No /s required.
Where I live we have RCV for some local government stuff but central government voting is MMP, which works quite well (except in the opinion of our conservatives). TL;DR: you vote for a candidate and also for a party. The party vote essentially sets how many seats each party gets in parliament, the candidate vote is for who represents your electorate.

Yup. Even my supposedly egalitarian country had relatively recent legislation ensuring “white” immigration.
Apparently it was a surprise to the government of the time that Indians some Pacific islanders were British (at the time) and that upset some people who equated “white” and “British”.
