It’s a gigabyte ab350m gaming-3 rev 1.0. it boots grub fine but then crashes right after displaying “loading Linux 6.x”, CPU led flashes then dram led stays on, I have to turn it off with the PSU switch.

Either it’s a rev 1.0 bug which is a thing on those motherboards, or the CPU (or igpu) is defective.

I’m currently waiting on support from both the seller and gigabyte but I don’t expect anything out of it, though I’m still yet to test it in a different motherboard.

Oh wow congrats, I’m currently in the struggle of stretching an ab350m to accept a 4600G and failing.

You’re right, you should hit PCIe 3 speeds and it’s weird, but the fact that the drives swap speeds depending on how they’re plugged in points to either drivers or the chipset.

I’m not fully familiar with the overheads associated with all things going on on a chipset, but it’s not unreasonable to think that this workload, plus whatever the chipset has to do (hardware management tasks mostly), as well as the CPU’s other tasks on similar interfaces that might saturate the IO die/controller, would influence this.

B350 isn’t a very fast chipset to begin with, and I’m willing to bet the CPU in such a motherboard isn’t exactly current-gen either. Are you sure you’re even running at PCIe 3.0 speeds too? There are 2.0 only CPUs available for AM4.

It might be that the data to both disks saturates a common link before the second disk reaches full iops capability, and thus the driver then writes at full speed on one disk and at half speed on the other, for twice as long.

A few years ago there was a fantastic video detailing thorvald’s PC and it is a beast, crazy how far we’ve come

While Microsoft and Google merely pretend to like open source but transparently hate it, it is (was) not quite as obvious that red hat wanted to capture the enterprise Linux market wholesale. What red hat has done is terrible for the ecosystem, much more so than Microsoft just throwing out worthless tokens of appreciation.

Apart from the mouse thing (which I’m skeptical about), cloudflare also correlates your traffic with other sites hosted on cloudflare. Bots typically don’t visit many sites, click around there, find another one, etc, whereas humans will have visited other sites, will be slower at clicking the button, will have left comments on some sites.

The most likely explanation is that their previous implementation broke due to a website change, and they didn’t want to bother with fixing it. People began opening issues for them to fix it, but now it looks like they’re aiding people explicitly asking for piracy, so they can’t win (and also I’m willing to bet it fucking sucked trying to support that particular website)

Anything running on a copy-on-write filesystem can trivially rollback changes using a rescue partition.

I also expect most immutable distros would be able to be especially good at tanking this.

Notion syncs using https. It’s safe to say that as long as you haven’t specifically installed weird apps (notion is not a weird app) nothing going on on your PC is visible to anyone else.

This is of course, not true of enterprise and school devices, which usually have very powerful antivirus solutions installed that allow the work/school to see whatever you do (though they mostly don’t care, as long as you aren’t causing trouble on the network or doing things that might get them sued)

Can’t really go wrong with the old school nagios+thruk. The learning curve is a tad steep but it teaches you a lot of things about your systems.

This and the initial article are central plot points in Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother.

It’s a YA novel about a guy who helps organize resistance against the government by hacking Xboxes. There are at least 2 sex scenes. The ending is deeply unsatisfying, perhaps because the author wanted to convey that he alone cannot possibly succeed

This is a classic move to not get sued, exactly like airlines do. If you try to sue them after redeeming the gift card, they can argue that you’ve been made whole, and do 'ot 'eed additional compensation.

It kind of needs that (you can use trucks to make it go away) because of the android model of apps where an app may get yeeted off a cliff if it’s not currently showing a notification. Again, you can pull some tricks but for the average user they have to do it this way.

This is my take also: if I ever spend money on good audio, I’ll be stuck spending lots of audio for the rest of my life. I’d rather live in the dark and by cheap second hand stuff that’s probably not great than never enjoy music again without spending thousands.

If you turned off battery optimisations globally, it might still kill it. You specifically have to go into app options and allow it to be always on, as well as allowing all it’s notifications

Kde connect is great.

A hexbear in that thread is literally claiming that “the soldiers did everything they could to avoid hurting him” when there’s a photo of him lying dead on the street after the tanks have gone through. They don’t think it’s fine, they’re saying it didn’t happen (curious)

Most supercars are AWD, find one with a mid engine and yeah

Not possible really. The protocol Lemmy uses requires accounts, not only as a soft requirement, but the software your instance would be interacting with requires it to function.
