Aw sweet, we're having distro wars again?Can't wait "my side" to lose yet again.t. RHEL user.
>>107561531Mint mogs many options in usage, but my point is Fedora shouldn't be lower than something like Debian or memes like Manjaro or Endeavor. It's not that niche.

>>107552317Listen up, OP. The easy energy is gone. For a little while, humans found dense fuel that built up over millions of years - coal, oil, gas. You put in a tiny bit of work and got a fuckton of energy back. That extra energy paid for everything cool: big cities, planes, cheap food, neetbux, video, hookups, conventions, all the shit people cry about losing now. That surplus is drying up fast. What's left is harder to get: deeper wells, fracking, tar sands. Every new barrel costs more energy to pull out than the last one did. Regular oil (the good stuff) already peaked years ago. We're faking it with expensive low-quality crap that barely breaks even. Soon there won't be enough spare energy for anything fun. Planes too expensive. no travel. cons and meetups die. No more welfare or neetbux, everyone being slave just to eat. People get "apathetic" because the energy budget is shrinking and the body/brain correctly stops wasting calories on hopeless bullshit. This isn't because people are weak or society is degenerate. It's just physics. Living things blow up when there's a huge energy pile to burn, then crash when it's gone. We got a one-time jackpot of ancient sunlight. Jackpot almost empty now. No voting, no "just work harder", "get off the internet retard" "explore our passions and indulge in our hobbies in the good old way" fixes it. Solar and wind are weak diffuse shit. they can't give you back the giant surplus that built the modern world. The graph hit the top, now going down. We're past the top. Everything that needed extra energy vanishes quietly. just less and less until it's gone. The good times weren't forever. Account at zero soon. hopes/dreams stop. That's it.

use nixosthe autistic trannies cutting their genitals off and pretending to be women are a good thing.nixos has institutional and enterprise support.
>>107560242sufficient enough for me, sounds like a skill issue
Jokes aside, What's the actual status of NixOS as as a desktop?Is it viable?
>>107561365It's the same KDE/systemd desktop you find everywhere else. Do you think that's viable?
>>107561365>desktopIt's for serversMost desktop packages like game launchers for ex. are broken and you either can't install them or they won't launch

I've been using the same laptop for the past 7 years
Im a noob and due to circumstances i need to secure my laptop (m1 macbook pro). After back and forth discussions with a.i i have done the following;1. Lockdown mode enabled2. File vault enabled3. Firewall enabled4. Sip enabled5. Seperate peofiles for work, casual browsing and admin6. Malwarebytes with full disk access across all profiles7. Keypassxc password manager8. Brave browser with https everywhere, amnesiac browzer9. Mullvad vpn10. Totp for apple account11. External keyboard with open source firmware etc (pic related)12. Regularly shut down and restart laptop13. Run a.i locally14. Disabled fingerprint, only type password in under a blanket just for admin profile.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>107561464That's what happens, they're only focused on benchmark results not real-world use. Just the numbers CEOs and investors care about.
>>107561464I don't know if it's retarded, but it's annoying as fuck. It's more safetycucked than any other model and in a very particular way. It wont refuse. OpenAI seems to have chosen it to ALWAYS try to redirect. It will give you a "safe" response that tries to gaslight you into whatever is the most pro-institutional idea it can find.
>>107561464theo says they benchmark maxxed while real-word performance is worse
>>107561489I don't really care I just use it for programming and linux stuff.But I guess as research has shown if you tune it to be retarded or irrational in one area it'll become that way in others too.>>107561507Yeah feels like it.
>>107561524Yesterday it refused to add an API key to a .env file, and then after convincing it to do it, it deleted it again, and I had to ask it like 5 times before it re-added the key.

>>107559172>>107560603by the way, here are the two chip models i was thinking about: mxl86280 and rtl8372. its probably one of the two>>107560954oh damn, right as i was writing this reply, thanks for the pic.i see a ram chip right next to the larger heatsink, looks like this is a completly different design, probably a main controller running some sort os and handling all the 10gb ports(4 exposed to the outside as sfp and 2 more internal, one for each "slave" chip). main controller is probably a qualcomm chip. the smaller ones might still be the realtek chips, but there is still one 10g connection missing on each so idk.nice that it has the built in psu. most of these cheap switches have an external 12v power brick.there is also a bunch of unpopulated headers near the 8p8c connetion block, those might be for poe variant. searching for that model number of the pcb online only leads me tohttps://www.xilinet.com/2025/05/13/advancements-in-medical-devices-enhancing-healthcare-around-the-globe-4/with claims of a 250w poe version (jesus chang christ, that would be 30w on each port!)i really like how most of the pcb is nicelly labeled, the voltage rails and even the uart chip is indicated.how is the managment software like? some stuff on the website above claims to be gpl compliant, so is it some openwrt variant/fork?

>>107558400Can't compare because I started with Vulkan 2 months ago without any prior experience in any graphics API.What I can say is that with newer versions it's a lot easier to make it sane programming instead of whatever archaic mess it used to be before. E.g. VkDeviceAddress.
>>107558400>>107558515Africa does not allow Vulkan because it requires new, expensive GPUs.Also Vulkan requires 5000 lines of boilerplate code just to draw a single triangle.
>>107558515Wtf when did they release Vulkan 2?
>>107558172>Chud, what is the use of making a video game if you don't know the tech behind it? I mean what made games awesome? We already had movies for example. The games were, and still are, black magic of computer graphics and computer tech in general. The real value of a game is always based on the value of video game technology.I do know the tech behind it though, I actually know how to thoroughly use the engine (actually 2 engines at this point) and have no issues doing most of the work. It's the real technical code that requires actual talent and long term skill that I struggle at. Nothing is black magic, I just have trouble getting myself to learn to that skill level.

/p/haggot here. Is the overpriced memory here to stay? My laptop is due for an upgrade should I do it now or wait till the prices go down?
>>107560749its here to stay, RAMlets will bite the bullet until at least, the next decade.
>>1075609418GB hasn't been above ramlet status for at least a decade. 16GB is a comfortable minimum, and 32GB is for when you want a little extra. 64GB is tryhard, but not to the point of excess. 128GB is for if you run a server or do gens or whatnot.
