Nobody in the regular world has ever been effected by not having ECC.
Based on the article, it looks like at least 10% of crashes are caused by not having ECC.
Linus suffers from not understanding normal people.
Well, you are demonstrating that you’re an expert people person so I’ll just have to take your word.
In the past two years? Nope, entirely NVidia.
2 years without a non-video card related problem? I don’t think I go 2 weeks without some issue or another (Arch life).
Exactly, one of the ‘nerd edge cases’ (as the now removed comment mentioned) is that I use ZFS on my NAS.
There’s lots of checksumming and encryption. Errors in that process are not acceptable and could potentially cause data loss. Since the one of the points of using ZFS is the enhanced data integrity, not using ECC means losing out on that guarantee.
You can’t.
Social media is public, period.
If you want private social interactions then use end-to-end encrypted communication services.
Any oppressive regime will have multiple tools that can identify your access to social media services and determine who the human is behind the keyboard. Assume that everything you post on public social media has your real life name and address attached to it.
Unless you’re an expert and taking extreme measures (and you wouldn’t be asking this question if you were such an expert) then anonymous access to online services with respect to a sovereign power with an intelligence service is impossible.
I don’t know about you, but I use my RAM for a lot more than a browser.
I value my finite time more than I value a few Watt-Hours.
You could go to your local library and read through a bunch of books rather than using Google if you’re interested in more power savings ideas.
Any time anything has gone wrong with my PC, NVidia and their shitty drivers have been the culprit.
This seems unlikely. You’ve never had a hard drive failure, bad RAM, missing dependencies, malware or bugs in any other software except NVIDIA?
You must be one heck of a statistical outlier.
The joke is this, but updated with modern memes
I would recommend not installing beta drivers in that case.
I still have my great grandfather’s torches and pitchforks in the family armory, so I’m ready for the next stage also.
Yes, surely TOR will protect us from government surveillance…
I don’t get the sarcasm. Everything that you’ve posted suggests that it will.
Simply pointing out public funding doesn’t make it less secure. It’s implying (or allowing others to imply) some hidden conspiracy that breaks TOR in some way that we don’t know about. If this is a source of vulnerability, it has not been demonstrated.
Based on what we do know:
“We will never be able to de-anonymize all Tor users all the time”, but “with manual analysis we can de-anonymize a very small fraction of Tor users”.
when used in conjunction with other privacy tools such as OTR, Cspace, ZRTP, RedPhone, Tails, and TrueCrypt was ranked as “catastrophic,” leading to a “near-total loss/lack of insight to target communications, presence…”
TOR is open source and the protocol is well understood. The software has been audited multiple times by multiple different sources.
The TOR network itself is secure.
The people who get ‘caught using TOR’ are caught based on other failures of their personal security. Like forgetting to enable TOR once and logging into an IRC channel, connecting to a malicious site with a javascript enabled browser, running TOR on an exploitable phone or running a business who’s payments travel through financial networks viewable by the adversary.
There’s more to cybersecurity than simply installing the TOR browser bundle. If you are not familiar with this field, do not risk your freedom or safety trying to do things on TOR which would cause you to come to the attention of intelligence services or other bad people.
The Father -> Richard Stallman
The Son -> Linus Torvalds
The Holy Ghost -> GNU+Linux
The Holy Temple -> Arch Linux
Uhh, it’s GNU/Linux actually
Another tip: Be careful linking images from hosts that you don’t control.
You don’t want to come back and find your funny.gif picture is now displaying a goatse.
and also, because the OG situation:
KolourPaint doesn’t support layers, so when you paste something, put it into place and deselect it then it is written to the bitmap immediately.
Use GIMP if you need to use layers. Tons of YT videos on how to do it (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egyrVoXY7Ss )
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.
It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.
It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.
We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat.
We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road. the world has been taking.
This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
Another important fact is that the President cannot pardon State charges or convictions (a future governor may be able to, not sure about MN law).
After discovering the robbery, the bank installed doors and locks.
Are you guys LLMs? This is English but it doesn’t seem to have any correlation to actual reality.
