The gold flakes in my lead pipe water make me feel so precious.

But then postgres is basically an OS at this point, enough to compete with emacs for meme potential. And I say that as a happy postgres user.

I wonder how you’re supposed to get PXE boot to work securely over the internet. And how that helps when affected disk is still encrypted and needs unusual intervention to fix, including admin access to system files.

I’ve been doing this for a while, and I like creative solutions, so I wonder about those issues a lot. Not much comes to my mind besides let’s recall all the laptops and do it one by one.

Sure. At the same time one needs to manage resources.

I was all in on laptop deployment automation. It cut down on a lot of human error issues and having inconsistent configuration popping up all the time.

But it needs constant supervision, even if not constant updates. More systems and solutions lead to neglect if not supplied well. So some “would be good to have” systems just never make the cut, because as overachieving I am, I’m also don’t want to think everything is taken care of when it clearly isn’t.

This works great for stationary pcs and local servers, does nothing for public internet connected laptops in hands of users.

The only fix here is staggered and tested updates, and apparently this update bypassed even deffered update settings that crowdstrike themselves put into their software.

The only winning move here was to not use crowdstrike.

Do target individuals. CEOs should be responsible for neglect and rockstar culture.

It’s not storm related deaths, it’s texan power grid neglect related deaths. For one of those you can prosrcute people in sane countries.

Credit and release any changes you made to it. No freeloading.

Easily done with licences. Corpo is scared of licensing.

Interesting. Do they point to arch repos or provide their own like Manjaro? I haven’t thought about a rolling release atomic distro before.

Dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair.

TIL about solaar, thanks!

Then again my 2016 stock yaris had the best sound I ever heard anywhere.

Well the good news is yoi don’t have to upgrade anything, or everything at once. You can get the display now and when your CPU isn’t enough switch mobo and ram then.

I use a 2016 Asus Zenbook with integrated intel gpu.

The performance is comparable. The only thing that’s different is latency, obviously, although it’s fairly negligible on LAN, and encoding/decoding sometimes createa artifacts and smudges, but it’s better at higher bandwidth.

My box sits in my closet, so can’t really help much with docker or vm. But I use sunshine server with moonlight client. Keep in mind you can’t fight latency that comes from distance between server and client. I can use 4/5G for turn based or active pause games but wouldn’t try anything real time. On cable my ping is under ms, enough to play shooters as badly as I do these days.

I use AMD for CPU and GPU, and wouldn’t try nvidia if using Linux as sever.

I did use to run a VM in xenserver/xcp-ng and passthrough gpu with a mock hdmi screen plug. A windows 10 vm, ran very well bar pretty crap CPU but I did get around 30fps in 1080p tarkov, sometimes more with amd upscalling. Back then I was using parsec, but found sunshine and moonlight works better for me.

I should also mention I never tried to support multiple users. You can probably play “local” multiplayer with both parsec and moonlight, but any setup that shares one GPU will require some vgpu proprietary fuckery, so easiest is to buy a PC with multiple gpus and assign one to each VM directly.

Software predeterminitism - If it were good code it would have saved itself.

I ment this, poor naming clash. Your link is interesting too!

Eh you can go with a blacklist approach and try to selectively block tracking instead of whitelisting everything until a site works.

My Linux usage was: Ubuntu, then Arch, then I got tired of it and took a break from Linux. I found Fedora KDE in 2017 and been using it ever since. Only reinstalled once to switch to btrfs and it went surprisingly smooth.

I like Arch, and I love the wiki, but I appreciate sane defaults and ease of use. I’d rather optimize down than pull features out of repos.

Another distro I’d check would be Suse, or one of the immutables, starting with the Fedora KDE one. When I have time for it.
