Ja, das ist ein populärer Wunsch von Faschos, extrem Religiösen, Incels - und/oder Menschen die nix können oder zu bieten haben, aber noch wen unter sich in der Hierarchie sehen wollen...

Sollen die doch in irgend ein Kalifat oder islamistisches Land mit Scharia ziehen? Gibt's doch? Ich würd dann den hier freiwerdenden Wohnraum den armen Frauen von dort anbieten.... Und apropos: Ich glaube z.B. Afghanistan ist auch nicht in der EU, da könnten die gleich mehreres auf einmal bekommen von dem was sie sonst noch so wollen.

I see Github as a mere tool. As I could use a proprietary operating system like Windows on my development computer, I can use Github to distribute the code. It doesn't have that severe consequence to the open source project itself and works well. And it's relatively transparent. Users can view issues etc without submitting to Microsoft. And it's been the standard for quite some time.

I'm far more concerned with FLOSS projects using platforms like Discord, which forces their users to surrender their privacy and that actively contribute to the enshittification of the internet. I wouldn't want to be part of that.

Ist auch krass was diese Jahr los ist. Ich hab schon zwei Berichte im WDR gesehen, dass böse Leute Sachbeschädigung an Wahlplakaten begehen. Immer im Zusammenhang erwähnt mit den Leuten die die Politiker beim Wahlkampf bedrohen oder versuchen anzugreifen. Ich find ja das sollte man nicht in einen Topf werfen. Naja. Applaus jedenfalls an die Person, die der Kölner FDP die Kabelbinder geklaut hat 😆

If you put it on standby properly, the processor and other components will enter a low power mode. If you just turn the display black, everything keeps running. And just idling draws more power than the dedicated power-save modes that just wake the processor and important components every now and then to check if something happened.

  • fail2ban / brute forcing prevention
  • quick, frequent updates(!)
  • containerization / virtualization
  • secure passwords, better keys
  • firewall
  • a hardened operating system (distribution)
  • SELinux / Apparmor / ... / OpenBSD
  • not installing unnecessary stuff
  • An admin who is an expert and knows what they do.

x^2 = 9

<=>

|x| = sqrt(9)

would be correct. That way you get both 3 and -3 for x.

That's the way your math teacher would do it. So the correct version of the statement in the picture is: "if x^2 = 9 then abs(x) = 3"

I don't think so. I can't find any good information about those new 'open-source' kernel modules in any of the Linux wikis. Just news articles from 2022. Something isn't right there. It's either a marketing stunt and nothing changed or something else. I would dig deeper if I were you.

Concerning NVidia's history: Don't rely on them making user-friendly decisions. Especially when it comes to Linux. The usual drivers work. They have some hiccups and you're going to have some annoying issues with things like Wayland, if something major changes in the kernel you have to wait for NVidia but they'll eventually fix it. It's not open source and you have to live with what they give to you. It mostly works though and performance is great. I'd say this is the same with the newer 'open-source' drivers that just shift things into (proprietary) userspace and firmware.

The true open-source alternative is the 'Nouveau' drivers. For newer graphics cards, expect them to get only a fraction of the performance out of your GPU and having half the features not yet implemented, including power management. So your game will have 10fps and fans on max while it empties your battery in 20 minutes.

On my laptop Nouveau started to be an alternative after several years when development kept up and it got comparable performance and battery life to the proprietary drivers. But you might replace the laptop at that point. Waiting for NVidia or the open source drivers to keep up hasn't been worth it for me in the past. I did that two times and everytime I had to live with the proprietary drivers instead.

So my advice is: Be comfortable using the proprietary drivers if you want to buy NVidia.

Intel Arc got really bad performance reviews. It's not worth spending lots of money on them. But fortunately they're cheap because the gamers don't buy them (for that reason). I live with the iGPU that's part of my CPU. It's alright since I don't play modern games anyways.

But you missed AMD. There are some laptops available with the Ryzen 7040 series and it seems to be a fast CPU. They also made the integrated graphics way faster than before, albeit probably still not on the level for proper gaming. But I bet there are desktop replacements out there that combine it with an AMD GPU.

Isn't there quite some information missing? Which scheduler is affected? What are the are the exact consequences since we're talking about latency in the first part of the article. Did it affect the AMD Epyc processors that run all the VPS?

TTS & STT, tightly integrated. And perhaps language translation.

FYI: 849 EUR (~$910 USD) incl 19% tax for the basic configuration with AMD Ryzen 5 7535U, 8GB RAM, and 500GB SSD storage.

Wow. What a difference it makes to get 'your' interface back.
