Oops, you’re right. I got confused with the three open source drivers available. Nvidia’s driver doesn’t have a good name. The point stands though.

And now* nvidia launched Nova, instead of contributing to Nuveau for some reason. It’s like they want to take wind out of Nouveau.

I don’t agree with the full stop. Eliminating nuance is rarely good. Most tasks an IT professional will execute will be done several times a month, so memorizing the tar command options might be useful if that’s something they do all the time. But demanding that a person is proficient with the CLI as a way to prove familiarity with how things work under the hood is just fallacious.

I coded in vim and we built our own makefiles to deploy our code into our proprietary microcontroller. We also used JTAG to connect gdb with the microcontroller, and not even the guy that coded the JTAG interface would be able to write JTAG commands by hand.

They’re basically describing a good GUI.

It’s okay to have a preference. In my. 20+ years with Linux, I’ve coded with and for it, did low level embedded development with it, used it at home for school and entertainment, used for amateur photography, even managed a small server for a startup.

I still would rather use a GUI, because I have not specialized in most of the tasks. It’s less powerful, but it’s just more intuitive. It’s less portable between DEs, but it’s easier. And if your only doing that once in a blue moon, it’s more than enough.

Thank you!

Broken image link for me 😕

Thank you for your service.

Leave it to the French to simply ignore a whole syllable in the middle of the word.

It’s just too slow and memory consuming. Leave it for backup solutions like Borg.

Haven’t had issues since the 2000s. Use a separate boot partition, use UEFI, you’re golden.

Yeah, the fact that ZFS is in Oracle’s hands is the real crime here. I miss Sun.

Super + R.

Thanks, TIL. I always assumed the Open version originated on OpenBSD, and therefore licensed under a BSD license. So TrueNAS is technically violating the licenses by using it in their Linux based systems?

Friends don’t let friends use filesystem level deduplication.

Isn’t OpenZFS compatible though?

Oh, glorious!

I have to use Windows 11 for work. It’s bad. But this past weekend my son was getting poor performance of a steam game so I dusted off the old windows partition to see if it was a compatibility issue (it wasn’t, my hardware simply doesn’t cut it - but it sucked less on Linux). But damn, managing a windows system is TERRIBLE.

And what for? You can’t even change the system font. This ducking bullshit system won’t afford you any comforts! It’s all locked in place, shoved down your throat.

At which altar should we pray to the idol cores?

I’m sure EDB isn’t the only one in town selling support contracts for open source applications. It is a lucrative business.
