The only serious server distro. 0 resource usage, diskless mode, xen dom0 images, serious source package system.

>*BSD
Not made to run on bare metal.
>Any rolling release distro
Nobody wants to update their server daily. Rolling is for desktop use only.
>Ubuntu, debian, etc
Bloated NSA slop.

Alpine + distrobox/KVM make a perfectly workable ultra-minimalist desktop distro. You can use an Arch, Debian, or any other distrobox for all the corner cases where musl has no compatibility. Flatpaks are available too. Of course, it’s not a distribution for newcomers, but if you’re barely competent and tech savvy enough, there’s nothing you can’t do on Alpine that you can do on Arch, Fedora, or Ubuntu.
>>
>>108856128
Based on this thread, and a recent increase of mentions here in /g/, I just gave Alpine a try in qemu. I did a "sys" install. Rebooted. Just fine. Feels snappy, fast.

No man pages? To save room, i guess.

It appears that, out of the box, vi is the only text editor? Do I have that correct?

Google, Microsoft, xAI, and Meta AI have all teamed up with the Chinese government and United States government to create a new ai operation called PROJECT YAHWEH which is basically this 3 thousand dollar device that gets installed into your skull and it feeds input to your brain directly, replacing your eyes, ears, nose, and tongue. And it puts you in a virtual ai generated world that can update in real time. Kinda like the Amazing Digital circus or Matrix but you have full control over it. Once you sign up you cannot leave, you get tied to a chair out in a big tower in the mountains of Montana and hooked up to an IV and a toilet seat. Then you are transported forever to the beautiful land of your prompts forever. Hooray. Embrace the future. In order to prevent climate change, all humans will be required to integrate into the virtual paradise by 2046. Lol.

If you want to really go down the conspiracy rabbit hole, what if they just hired some mathematicians and got them to solve the problem and then claim the AI did it?
These companies have infinity dollars. They can afford to pay a fat sum to keep people quiet.
>>
>>108870551
>>108881151
To be clear, that is kinda what they did. They hired a bunch of world-famous mathematicians and even as per their allegations, let the AI generate random mishmashes of existing math techniques that the mathematicians reviewed until one of them wasn't retarded. The non-retarded mishmash was then rewritten from scratch by the mathematicians.

nta but I've been looking at phones lately since I need an upgrade. samsung flagships seem to have the best all around balance of hardware, cameras, performance, battery, and price. sure, some other phones might have a slightly better camera or cleaner software, but then they skimp on the chipset or have a shitty sic battery for a similar price. that's why I'm stuck. is samsung actually as bad as some people on here say, or is it just overblown?

he destroyed his own lab tb h.
i was very surprised when the grok 2 or 3 benchmarks came in and were somewhat competitive
no one used the model obviously because they're all slow and worse than the others, but the team seemed fairly competent
then he just couldn't keep his hands off it - tinkering with the system prompt for his pet /pol/ shit, the grokipedia nonsense, the asinine coombot, letting people on the site put other people's kids in bathing suits for fucking hours (he still denies anything bad happened so it was definitely him tell them not to roll back immediately) - grok's still relatively popular with the coomers for undressing people - it's a lawsuit waiting to happen
completely missed the boat on agent harnesses and coding - the lab turned into a joke
now he's basically hoping the cursor boys can bail him out, but they've never trained a frontier model and i don't think he'll be able to stop himself from destroying whatever they build - dude's too far gone.
oh and i guess slowly poisoning the town near colossus 1 isn't a good look either

My computer was heavily infected with viruses for over a decade. I had a crypto mining virus infecting my computer for 5+ years and only realized recently. I didn't have any protection other than malwarebytes. However, none of the viruses ever stole any of my accounts. Not my credit card, not my email, ETC. I used to be really dumb and run random .exe thinking it was necessary to download a minecraft mod.

So I have to wonder why someone would even want to infect my computer in the first place? I never even reinstalled my OS.

Doesn't Defender have some vulnerabilities compared to what you'd get from a paid option?

I say this as a Linux user and it applies to any operating system.
Linux package managers usually have cascading dependencies that will leave you with a stack only servers should need and the abyss of system configuration that comes with it.
Windows is incredibly inefficient by default and gets exponentially worse the more software you install.

That's an entirely reasonable position here, GTK2 isn't even shipped anymore with a lot of distros

No, it doesn't matter if 99% of your city voted NO on data centers, or that the officials you elect are supposed to represent you.

Data centers arguably are more important than the needs of the few, primarily, the citizens. It's extremely important for the US to compete with China, and the US can't do that without having data centers everywhere. The country as a whole matters more than what citizens want.

Sorry, but if you don't like data centers being built right to you, or even on top of your property, where you're being evicted from, because it's closer to a fresh water source with power lines connected directly to it, then you should move. Don't like data centers? Then move.

you got a case with 30cm depth
then you see "fug I need 10cm more of depth"

then you remove side panels from the sides and remove top and bottom

a case skeleton is revealed

remove 4 bolts that keep skeletons front attached to its back

now pull it to extend the skeleton into 40cm depth

install the 4 bolts back

find out the 40cm bottom, top and side panels that came with the case along with 30cm panels

yes they do, it means case can have 30cm depth or 40cm depth depending on your parts

>mATX motherboard is 25cm in "depths"
>when GPU is installed onto that board, it can be anything from 22cm to 38cm (I'm not sure what is the longest ever recorded card?)
>even some sound cards could reach at least 25cm back in the day, probably today there are none though

so you are not gonna do anything with 40cm depth if you dont have cards that are longer than about 27cm or so, because motherboard cant go more into the wide department than 25cm which is standard

mATX is infact 24.4 cm x 24.4cm

Some ITX cases have a few configs you can switch between, allowing you to trade, like, CPU cooler height for GPU width (in a dual-chamber case).

Whats the point of programming? AI can build anything. I just made a spotify app and a website with ai.

>>108877865
you could've gotten the same functionality by just using the spotify app
you could've cloned some open source spotify client and paired it with some open source front end and customize the layout and functionalities in a few hours
but now you get to vibe code your own client (probably using the same open source code either directly or indirectly) that may be moderately functional but will require constant vibe maintenance to keep up until, one day, maybe it works most of the time
wow amazing progress!

blatantly false. unless you're doing research on some new algorithm (you're not), most of programming is just gluing pieces that someone else made together anyways, or building your own piece to glue to the others based on pre-existing work.
