the thing about Recaptcha is that it didn’t always gate keep a google provided service, so that logic doesn’t really work. i agree though that we all benefit from less bots.

just a small correction, /etc does get snapshotted when upgrades happen and will roll back along with everything else. you are correct though that home does not get snapshotted and is fully mutable.

I don’t have an answer to your nvidia question, but before you go and spend $2000 on an nvidia card, you should give the rocm docker containers a shot worh your existing card. https://hub.docker.com/u/rocm https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm-docker

it’s made my use of rocm 1000x easier than actually installing it on my system and was sufficient for my uses of running inference on my 6700xt.

Immutable isnt really the best word for these distros. Its why fedora is changing the name to atomic, as in changes made to the system are done atomically like git. This also means changes can be rolled back just as easily as they were made.

The trick was to install VSCodium from the Toolbox

Another option you can try that I use is the dev containers extension which allows you to move your workspace to different containers from within vscode. I will say however, i have tried many times to get it working in vscodium and have been unsuccessful and it only seems to work in vscode proper.

With fedora atomic, lets say i wanted to try out kde desktop for a while. i would first pin my current build so i can roll back to it if i dont end liking kde with

$ sudo ostree admin pin 0

Then i would rebase to the kde branch with

$ rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/39/x86_64/kinoite

Then just reboot. That’s literally it and i would have a kde system with all my layered packages and i could roll back to my old system at anytime.

all changes in etc are snapshotted with each update so you could just roll back to your previous version and it would fix it.

I assume you meant you messed up permissions in your home directory, and yes that is pretty much the only place you can permanently mess something up with silverblue.

honestly i feel exactly the opposite, I don’t think it’s really necessary for servers as tools like ansible are already well established in that space. Plus most servers are VMs these days which can be snapshotted easily. Also, lot of these “immutable distros” require a reboot to apply changes which is non ideal in a server, but a non issue for desktop as you can shut it down when you go to sleep.

I run fedora atomic on my desktop and laptop because i never have to worry about my system getting into a broken state, I can always roll back or even spot the problem and fix it before i reboot to apply the change. I know a lot of people say you can accomplish the same thing with btrfs snapshots, but that requires extra thought and effort on my part, where fedora atomic it happens automatically with every update.

what issues have you had with libvirt and windows? Once you get the windows drivers installed, it works pretty much the same as other solutions. only thing thats still a pain in the ass still is shared folders.

If you actually do have decades of fortran experience, work for NOAA. Their weather models are mostly fortran and they need engineers. Specifically the NOAA EPIC contract that i worked on previously definitely needs people knowledgeable in fortran and was 100% work from home. Feel free to DM me if you want more details.

Are the 320mhz wide channels going to be actually usable in the real world though? wider channels increase chance of interference. That’s why nearly everyone recommends 80mhz wide channels on 5ghz even though 160mhz channels have been available for a while. You dont usually see speed increases in the real world with the 160mhz channels except in specific situations.

You wont want to disable 2.4 and 5GHz on wifi 7. The reason it gets so much higher speeds than 6e is that it can send data on all 3 spectrum simultaneously. If you turn off 2.4 and 5GHz you would essentially be limiting yourself to 1/2 speed.

No, it’s because the windows scheduler literally cannot handle that many cores. it simply does not know how to allocate work effectively.

wtf does this have to do with technology? it’s just some post on reddit making an unsubstantiated claim.

my info could be out of date on this, but the last time i looked into it, the khadas vim3 was the most powerful arm sbc with mainline linux support.

i had a similar issue when rebasing to kinoite, the libvirt service wasn’t set to start on boot after, so check to make sure it’s actually running.

The sponsorskip extension already has the functionality to get around something like this.

unfortunately no, there are several communities where if i ask for some specific information, i am told to go onto the discord because there are guides and information there. specifically, i have noticed this a lot with mechanical keyboard communities, but i know it’s happening elsewhere too. I simply don’t understand it myself, trying to find something on these is like trying to find something in a twitch stream. it’s infuriating.

Someone should tell Elon that an unprofitable website and a non-profit website are not the same thing.

Yea i don’t get the hate boner for brave. I get it’s sketchy and don’t use it myself, but they aren’t sneakily installing some VPN to redirect all your web traffic without you knowing. They tell you about it right up front because it’s a service they want to sell.

If you don’t like the browser, don’t use it. There isn’t a need to go on some crusade to smear them with bullshit.
