I’m the administrator of kbin.life, a general purpose/tech orientated kbin instance.
I boot into windows every time that one NTFS partition I never converted gets locked for needing a check… Come on kernel 7.1. I need that new ntfs with the fsck tool!
Yeah I could convert it. But there’s some stuff on there I might want to run from windows, once every 1.5 years or something.
Yeah one of them was Debian 12 for sure.
I mean I updated my servers and some of them on LTS releases that were not the very latest one were still vulnerable after a reboot. Hence I disabled the module on those servers. So it’s worth checking your version definitely has a fix available.
Just to note, if you are on an LTS version (which many people running servers will be), it’s likely an upgrade will not solve this. In which case you should check your installed version and if not yet corrected, disable that module. For most people it is not used anyway.
Well it’s also. Windows XP. There’s updates. Install them when you want to. Windows 10: There’s updates, install them soon unless it’s pro then install them when you want. Windows 11: Please install your updates, you have twenty seconds to comply. Windows 12: What’s that, you were in the middle of editing a file with 8 hours worth of edits? Tough I’m rebooting now bitch.
I’m pretty sure that nic cards for those speeds would really need more hardware offloading and dma to stand a chance of those speeds. With those it should be possible. With the right hardware handling there shouldn’t be a problem, ssds connected to pci manage a lot more.
In real terms, right now who needs it aside from to post speed test results?
I have gigabit symmetric and can upgrade to 2.5. But, I cannot imagine we’d need 2.5 let alone 10 or 25. And I’m a fairly heavy user.
The only RGB things I have is an NVidia 3080, and the RGB ram. Unplugging those would cause me a problem. I could set them to off. But, they’re there now. So I make them Borg green.
But if either of them (or the case) cost me more to have the RGB/Glass I’d not have gotten them. It’s absolutely not something I care about.
You’re not kidding. I have no real interest in RGB. But it was cheaper to buy a case with a glass panel and the RGB ram of the same spec was cheaper than non RGB… I just made all the LEDs Borg green and left it that way.
Hey, it was really better times when you could have your computer in any colo(u)r you wanted, so long as it was beige.
Way way back. I was given a 486 (when pentium 90/100s were normal) at work to run the experimental internet connection on (the head of the company at the time didn’t think this internet fad would last). So I installed some magazine coverdisk linux and connected the office to the internet via a single modem.
I think it had a peak uptime of 550 days before it was replaced.
windows is crashing linux is flowering, with linux there is no old pc only bad OS.
Unless it is a 486 and you want to stay current :P
So, I cannot buy new books or download my current ones. But, I can download them without paying and then install them still over USB? OK Amazon, that clears things up fine for me.
Yes, I am wishing I bought a spare drive or two for my home array. When one fails it’s going to get costly now.
The thing about peertube is… It’s actually a tough one to run for non-profit. I run an mbin instance and it’s fairly easy to afford the hardware to host that and securely back it up.
But for peertube, you need storage, and realistically you also need backup for all that storage. That can be pretty costly unless you self host. In which case even with fibre your home connection will be hammered.
Video content eats storage like nothing else.
The enshittification will continue until… No man, it’ll just continue.
Enjoy it while you can. The age of enshittification will be upon us. With fully locked bootloaders and the only way to install true FOSS mobile OS is to pay 3x the price for half the capabilities of a normal Android phone.
Yep I’m hearing a lot about this and there’s a few Lora nodes on it in my area. So am considering looking into it.
If you set the ip of the router to fe80::1 then anything directly connected should be fine to connect using that address.
The thing is. Any year can be the year of IPv6. Google is on ipv6, youtube is on ipv6, facebook is on ipv6. Pretty much every datacentre I’ve used (OK limited to Europe) give you IPv6 for free by default. Deploying a web site to be IPv4 and IPv6 is trivial and people that use automation should be able to quite easily apply ipv6 to those scripts.
It’s really just the ISPs (more so in the US as I understand it), lazy IT people and the FUD myths holding us back at this point.
Well see, a lot of businesses are B2B. Now yes for sure ultimately their customer’s customer’s customer is going to be a normal person. So eventually the lack of custom and with it, revenue will hit them. But, here’s the thing I’ve observed about large organisations (not just businesses). I liken their operation to be very similar to insects. That is, they don’t really plan ahead, they’re reactive purely to stimuli, and mainly just do “what the other orgs are doing” without thinking about the effect beyond the only horizons they can see. Month end, quarter end and year end. Anything after the end of their current financial year. They’re not even thinking about right now.
So, the point is, this logic while completely correct will fall on deaf ears.
