Eh, I just generally avoid Nvidia on Linux hosts unless I specifically need it. Their driver situation is better than it was, but still sucks.

Pretty much the only thing I use Tailscale for is remotely SSHing from my phone to my home NAS, and they definitely don’t manage my keys. They do have a “Tailscale SSH” feature I don’t use…

If it wasn’t that it’s Nvidia and that you bought this specifically for Linux, I’d have told you to keep the Nvidia, as you did get a significantly better card for the price you paid.

Didn’t read the article, nor the full title, did you?

Edit: the single downvote is hilarious

Adding types on an untyped project is hell. Greenfield stuff is usually pretty smooth sailing as far as I’m concerned…

I mean, I use formatters everywhere I can exactly so I don’t have to think about code style. I’ll take a full code base that’s consistent in a style I dislike, over having another subjective debate about which style is prettier or easier to read, any day. So whatever cargo fmt spits out is exactly what I’ll prefer, regardless of what it looks like, if only for mere consistency.

Bismuth (and Krohnkite before) never worked nearly as well for me, and AFAIK are both abandoned. The built in tiling is closer to FancyTiles/tiling zones, not auto-tiling like Pop Shell. Pop Shell also has been here for “years” by that metric lol

Exactly! I’m moving next year for accessibility and proximity to hospitals, due to illness in the family… Just moving to that next place and making it livable is gonna take a lot of time and monetary investment… Getting me to move again then would take said place not to be livable anymore, probably…

Fair enough!

I understand and agree with your general point, but this idea that everyone can “just” leave their country, or hell, sometimes even the general area they live in, needs to die.

What’s wrong with alternatives?

Oh, wasn’t saying it didn’t hurt, you don’t have to remember me of my years making $12k/year as a student on top of student loans and debt to survive lol. But it shouldn’t even be equivalent to how much a $242 fine can hurt. A $242 fine is equivalent to what, a speeding ticket? The crime committed is orders of magnitude worse, yet the penalty doesn’t nearly scale up. Corporations are getting off easy for the scale of the crimes committed, time and time again.

$91 million in fines for T-Mobile + $12 million for Sprint. T-mobile made $8.32 billion of net income in 2023. The fines represent 1.21% of their net income.

$57 million for AT&T. AT&T made $14.2 billion in the same time period. 0.42% of their net income in fines.

$48 million for Verizon. They made $11.6 billion. 0.41%.

In comparison, let’s take the median working class guy making median income, rounded up a couple thousands to a nice $40k/year. We’re comparing net income, so after income taxes, deductions, living expenses, let’s be generous, guy is great at budgeting, lives frugally, say he’s still left with $20k/year. The worst fine is roughly equivalent to the average American having to pay a $242 fine. Not even taking into account that in this situation, the guy likely made tons of profit from the transaction in the first place.

Fair enough. I know the FSF likes to make the distinction.

I’ll be that guy pointing out at semantics - “open-source”, in the widely used OSI definition of the term is actually equal to free (as in freedom). It’s why open-source advocates go so hard at saying “this is not open-source” when companies just dumps their source code somewhere and dubs themselves open-source for it.

GUIX is a GNU Project. You know, Stallman et. al, the guy behind the FSF, or well… the GPL itself (GNU General Public License). If it happens with GUIX, Stallman would be the biggest troll in existence, and we’d have much larger problems to discuss about open source as a whole.

Half of you are like this, the other are Boomer-like in their tech abilities

Hmm yep, you’re right. Wasn’t aware of this, funny.

All CLAs aren’t created equal, IMHO. I ain’t a lawyer, but looks to me like K8s’s grants the CNCF a license to the use and patent your code, but you remain the copyright owner. As far as these things go, this one doesn’t look that terrible, at first glance. Or, at least, I’ve seen worse.

Aren’t K8s and Go fundamentally Google projects?

My deluge server been reliably running behind gluetun for almost a year and a half now. It’s pretty damn great indeed.
