  • I guess the tape measure is fine, but this would have been better with a banana pepper for scale (͡•_ ͡• )

  • The US government could get even more Intel stock if the company ends up losing control of its chip manufacturing business

    Jump

  • I'm happy to see ARM gaining enough traction these days to be a solid alternative to x64. I'm happy to run it for server workloads but I'm skeptical it's ready to replace my AMD PC desktop.

    Granted, I haven't been paying super close attention to the state of the art for the past few years, but from what I gather Apple was a major catalyst in the uptake of ARM for the desktop. Ironically, we have Intel's abysmal Skylake QC to thank for that 😅

    How is Linux ARM support these days? Any particularly outstanding distro that shines on ARM?

  • You understand it fine.

    Intel thought they could get away with their usual MO of "make a leap forward in technology and slowly meter it out over time" forever. Now that we're running into physics limitations, AMD has fully caught up and even sprinted past Intel for certain workloads.

    I used to prefer Intel+nvidia for pc builds, but when the last generation of the Core lineup fell a bit flat I built a Ryzen+Radeon setup that's been kicking ass for years.

    I'm content to just let Intel hang themselves with their own rope.

  • Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely?

    Jump

  • It's not worth the headache IMO. Just run a docker VM and use lxc for the one-off systems that you want to experiment with.

    I have a "production" docker VM and a "sandbox" docker VM and prod only ever runs compose files that I've vetted in sandbox. Super stable, basically bulletproof, and still has the flexibility to experiment and break stuff without affecting my core services.

  • Hundreds of thousands of Grok chats exposed in Google results

  • Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit

    Jump

  • Chrome = virulent nonsense at this point

    When they changed the behavior of the android version to only allow either google password manager or a third party manager (not both, as it was before), they lost my interest completely (and they were already on the cliff's edge because of the adblocker bullshit).

    Exported all of my gpass passwords and switched fully to vaultwarden and Firefox mobile.

    The internet is steadily regressing.

  • On Black Holes...

    Jump

  • It is impossible for anything with mass to travel at light speed. Even if it were possible, entities traveling at light speed (1) do not experience time, at least not in the way that a sub-lightspeed entity does, and (2) are effectively unable to communicate with sub-lightspeed entities. In fact, the only thing they can "communicate" with is the thing they're going to collide with due to relativistic beaming.

    So given the above: if you imagine that you were traveling at light speed toward a black hole, you'd have to think of it as experiencing your whole existence simultaneously. Your creation, crossing the event horizon, being stretched by tidal forces, and collision/absorption into whatever exists inside the sphere... all happens at once.

  • On Black Holes...

    Jump

  • That's not entirely true for a sufficiently large black hole. It's possible to cross the event horizon before tidal forces are strong enough to cause problems. You'll definitely be ripped apart eventually, but you'd at least be able to see the inside before you become atomic spaghet.

  • 'I'm right here': Trump struggles to find foreign leader sitting in front of his face

    Jump

  • I think the maximum age for any federal office should be tied to the average national life expectancy in some way, so that if these fucks want to keep their office they have a vested interest in passing policy that makes life expectancy go up.

  • Turns out the old gag "You can't get there from here; You have to go somewhere else and start" is actually true for btrfs's RAID support.

  • Bro The RAID Fuckin' Sucks

    ZFS for "RAID" is fine. Btrfs for a single disk (or on top of mdraid or hardware raid) is also fine.

  • Watched a video about Debian and now I am not sure is the best for me.

    Jump

  • I have to agree, rolling release distributions are the greatest recent development in desktop linux because they make the surface area for updates small (fewer packages more frequently, so if something breaks you have fewer places to look). Immutable distros make reverting a bad update foolproof.

    I ran bazzite for a while but then my work changed their VPN endpoints to use oauth, which didn't work on the openvpn2 version available. I switched back to Fedora (which updates pretty frequently, just not constantly) so I could install and use openvpn3. I'm sure I could have figured out a way to get it running by patching it into ostree, but that felt a bit like breaking the rules.

    Debian is the underpinning for all of my homelab gear.

  • it can't be so easy to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from an organization that has accountants without them noticing.

    You'd be surprised. It happens all the time, in lots of organizations. Sometimes the accountants are in on it, sometimes (more often) they're incompetent.

  • When Countries With Nuclear Weapons Go To War

    Jump

  • I can't tell whether:

    1. the author thinks they're making an edgy criticism of geopolitics, or
    2. the author has a very naïve, surface level understanding of why states meddle in other states' conflicts, or
    3. this is AI-generated comic slop, or
    4. all of the above
