  • I hadn't noticed how closely Altman resembles Phelps until the side by side in this thread

  • Sonata Arctica.

    Lead singer has amazing crowd presence, and every time I've seen them they've been amazing

  • I set up, and prefer, iptables rules to rate limit logins.

    I have mine set so you can connect up to 5 times per 15 minutes.

    Blocks bots well enough, and if I really mess up, I just wait 15 mins

  • If I'm leaving for more than 24 hours -> off

    After any update where the distro equivalent of needrestart says something is using an old binary, I just reboot instead of restarting individual services

  • At least for a long time, you had to set up RPMFusion to be able to play media, and having the additional repos tended to break on major upgrades for a bit after release

    So, for beginners, it was a bit painful to suggest

  • To start spreading doubt for when they make the first move

  • That would be if Hungary chooses to leave. There isn't a way for other members to kick out a member against their will

    It wouldn't be much of a protection pact if the more powerful countries could just remove the smaller ones at will

  • That's what I'm using these days at home

    Only thing to keep in mind is that it won't give you a notification when you need to do a major version update (pretty consistently every 2 years)

  • I like the option of not acknowledging US copyrights, patents, or trademarks for a minimum of one year

    Let's see how quickly the oligarchs attack Trump

  • The moving parts are in the device rather than the cable with Lightning. The tongue on USB-C is required to be deep enough that you can't torque it with the cable during insertion/removal.

    It's not an obvious comparison, but the mechanical engineers where I work seem to have a mild preference for USB-C

    The expensive part of both is that you need a microcontroller in the cable

    USB-C also has way more pins for data/power

  • In the US, I could count on a single hand the number of Hollywood movies my coworkers have talked about in the last two years

  • They're also required in chili competitions, so...

    Traditional Red - no beans

    Verde - no beans

    Homestyle - requires beans, and they must be "clearly visible on the top"

    People's choice - requires beans

    You can compete in traditional/Verde, but are generally required to also make one with beans for peoples choice: https://chilicookoff.com/uploads/2025-26-ICS-Chili-Rules.pdf

  • The problem with the simplified phrase is that your computer is expected to run more than one program at a time.

    If you are only running one program, it should certainly use all the RAM of your system.

    However, your desktop, laptop, phone, tablet, game console, etc. all run hundreds or thousands of programs at the same time. Each individual application should optimize RAM usage so the whole system can work together.

    Another commenter in the chain talks about disk caching, which is what the phrase "unused ram is wasted ram" came from

    It's been coopted by application programmers who don't want to optimize their software

  • I currently do, maybe not twice, but about 20% more to avoid them

    I also refuse to buy several cheaper car companies because of ads I saw years ago, and bought a more expensive car for my wife to avoid them

    I don't know the price difference, but there's also a toilet paper brand I will never buy

    I'm sure lots of ads work on me, but if your ad is annoying enough, I will pay significantly more to your competitor

  • If your motherboard manufacturer releases firmware through LVFS, you can use

    sudo fwupdmgr refresh --force sudo fwupdmgr update

    But that should normally be offered through the GNOME or KDE update utility.

    I'm assuming your motherboard manufacturer doesn't support updating through the OS (or hasn't released a new enough AGESA build) based off your issue

  • I don't think that's true.

    Look at how he clams up and attacks anyone who asks him about it.

    He can't even just lie and say there's nothing there, he has to go on the offensive.

    He's extremely scared of people finding out the truth

  • Cynically, isn't this just because Debian did it with Trixie, so now Ubuntu's next version is pulling in the change?

  • You've updated your motherboard's firmware to a version that includes the fix?

    What issue are you having from the missing instruction?

  • KDE @lemmy.kde.social

    Plasma Vault Experiences

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    Silverblue vs uBlue
