Same. I forgot all about it before this post.

It was almost 20 years ago when I built a cluster using around 40 desktop computers for purely academic purposes in our lab. Since then I never heard of it again even though I was working with HPC for a few years.

Ah, gotcha! Thank you for the explanation.

Aren’t all commercial plane turbine engines high bypass turbofans? (excluding turboprop)

Serious question, because I assumed that’s how they all worked, but this sounds like it is special or in spite of and it got me wondering.

Hu, that was weird. Kinda cool animation though. Maybe it’s a new channel to binge. Thanks!

Not the person above, but if it is an issue you ever run into you are doing it “wrong”. Not really, but let me explain.

Having it on a separate partition has a few advantages like different mount flags (e.g. noexec), easier backup management (especially snapshots) and some other benefits like using your home for a new installation (like OP wants to) or it prevents some critical failures in case you accidentally fill it up (e.g. partial writes or services cannot start).

I often cannot decide on specific mount sizes either, because requirements may change depending on what you do. Hence I would just stick with some reasonable defaults for the installation and use some form of volume manager instead. If you want to use ext4, xfs etc I would recommend using LVM as it gives you a lot of freedom (resizing of volumes, snapshots and adding additional drives, mixed RAID modes etc) or there are btrfs, zfs or bcachefs to name the most common file systems which implement their own idea of storage pools and volumes.

Never should you need to resize a partition, there are more modern approaches. Create a single partition (+ a small EFI partition somewhere) and never bother with partitions ever again. The (performance) overhead is negligible and it gives so many additional benefits I didn’t even mention. Your complaint is a solved problem.

Isn’t it also super common in Mexican cuisine?

I love cumin and it is probably in my top 5 of most used spices in the kitchen. You would hate me!

Ben Duerr is one of my favorite metal vocalists! I didn’t know the song, but of course I had to check it out and I don’t regret it.

According to a ProtonDB user the specific crashes I am referring to have been finally fixed with 545.29.02. So two weeks ago for a 5 years old card. Good job Nvidia!

I would have loved having that earlier, because I threw mine out after all the frustration with Nvidia and I still doubt that it is fully working now.

Don’t get me wrong it’s great for others stuck with Nvidia hardware though. I would never ever recommend buying any Nvidia hardware for Linux though. The experience is miserable compared to AMD.

Try playing games like Cyberpunk. I dare you :)

You are lucky if you can play without a crash for even one minute with that card. I am not exaggerating. Something is seriously messed up with the 20XX series.

Also Wayland is still a mess for Nvidia cards overall which is becoming more and more important.

You could try disabling VRR in your display settings. I believe it is set to auto by default if supported, but it does not work properly for some monitors causing flickering.

Yea, kinda. It forces it hard though.

There is no obvious way to skip the MS account. You can select that it is a managed device and create a local user that way, but afaik that’s the last option left and obviously it is there for a very different intention.

I am sure that if MS could remove it completely they would.

Unfortunately it has a habit of jumping around due to its asynchronous weird fuzzy search. So when typing fast you sometimes randomly launch the wrong action. It is especially inconsistent, because files are also indexed and by default it also includes web searches so the behavior is always changing.

I believe this got introduced with Windows 10 and feels just bad. Unless you are typing slowly and actually scan the results the search is doing a bad job as an application launcher like it was with Windows 7 for example.

Same. A 7800 XT is on its way as we speak replacing my 2080 Super. I am just sick of Nvidia even though performance wise it wouldn’t be necessary.

I am aware, but check the referenced issues. Support has been merged like a year ago and at least gnome on Wayland should work out of the box. It’s incomplete, but it should be working

Also barrier is considered abandoned at this point the previous maintainers forked it which actually is leap input.

Check the input leap project. While I haven’t tested it myself, Wayland support got added like a year ago. You still needed to rebuild some packages, but reading the issue tracker now it seems to have gone a long way.

Unfortunately it is still not considered production ready. At this point I assume they will have it implemented and ready way before synergy though.

Sounds like you don’t clean your package cache. You can enable the paccache.timer to handle it for you on a weekly basis.

There was or is a bug with WebKit when using Nvidia. If that’s the case remove the Nvidia driver and use nouveau instead. After logging in you can reinstall the Nvidia driver again.

Over 50% of all adults are overweight here.

Every single meal has some form of pasta, potato or rice as a side unless you pick a salad and even then you get some complementary white bread when you eat out.

I always get weird looks when I am asking for more salad or vegetables and no frites.

Just check the menu of any random restaurant around you and look for any low carb option which is not a salad. It is really difficult where I live unless it is a tapas bar.

Ohh, that’s an interesting take! I guess for large parts of Asia it is a bit different. It is a problem in north America as far as I can tell and in Europe where I am from.

You are right with everything you say.

Still the consumption of carbs is too normalized. Many people believe that you should have carbs with every meal which is insane. Just look at any restaurant food, fast food and everywhere. Unless you are dieting you for sure don’t have to avoid carbs, but don’t seek them out either.

I believe this is the single biggest reason for the obesity problem. Most meals really shouldn’t have any added carbs, yet they do.
