Yes, very funny that these fields have existed for decades but no one knew about it, but suddenly everyone is freaking out because a birthday field has been added.

Sure, let’s just pretend that this is totally unrelated to the laws currently being made and implemented that require the operating system to provide user age to applications and websites for age restriction. After all, all those Gecos fields people have filled have been shared across the internet all those years, oh wait never mind, they didn’t, and they aren’t really being used at all.

Seriously though, what’s your point? Can’t you see any difference here?

It always starts optional. There’s no verification yet but many believe it will be a matter of time.

I’m not suggesting anything specific. But the point of rushing to implement your way into software A to prevent each software having their own implementation does not make sense to me. This is not a proper way to standardise. There are many months left to make a proposal that works for everyone.

He thinks it’d be worse if every desktop environment implements their own solution to comply with these laws.

Sure he has a point there, but putting it in systemd means there will need to be at least one other implementation for systems that don’t use systemd…

I don’t want Linus to go to jail :(

Have you tried using Limo?

Let Chatgpt read it for you

Honey, I impregnated the vids

Ahhh look it has windows!!

IIRC, HDDs have some reserved sectors in case some go bad. But in practice, once you start having faulty sectors it’s usually a sign that the drive is dying and you should replace it ASAP.

I think if you know drive topology you can technically create partitions on platter level, but I don’t really see a reason why you’d do it. If the drive is dying you need to resilver the entire drive’s content to a new disk anyway.

Not necessarily, there are games that you can run directly from the installation folder without having to start Steam.

His point is basically that if you remove every 5th word of a book it’s legal to hoard as it’s compressed.

Are you rich? Otherwise we’ll still be arrested.

Download all existing literature to build a library for preservation and you’re called a pirate. Download all existing literature from aforementioned library to train an LLM and you’re a tech innovator. What a strange world we live in.

Those bezels are thicker than the original Steam Deck even.

With a SAS card in IT mode it will show up in your OS as 4 different drives. You can mix and match them however you like. You aren’t restricted into pairs of 4. In fact one SAS cable can be multiplexed into many more than 4 drives.

You can often flash these raid cards into IT mode to disable raid and so that they just pass through the raw disks. That way you can hook up either SAS or SATA drives and run them with software raid of your choosing, like ZFS. SATA is probably the safer bet since you will be able to use them in a future build without issues, but there’s no issue with SAS.

If you can’t flash this raid card to IT mode you can buy a cheap LSI 92xx card. They are quite common and cheap, and easy to flash to IT mode.

Submitting a patent isn’t a leak. You’ll know it will be picked up by others, that’s a price you pay for patenting.

ClamAV looks for signatures of known viruses, most of which target Windows and not Linux. So it’s debatable how much more secure you really are by running ClamAV

I thought we switched to libre for that definition and since then used free only as in free beer.
