I’m pretty sure thats not possible wifhout some custon extension or script.

go with fedora

i feel you’ll be happier with it

What do you mean by immediately? the votes happen in the last third of the video.

I tried pausing and reading and their “arguments” were so yes-man like that they seemed to not really want to debate or lean one way or the other and basically were saying it depends on context or that it could be seen as either. Which is fine, but meaningless in the context of wanting to come up with an answer. Any question can be replied to with “it depends”, without really answering the question in a satisfying way.

I think it would make more sense to either use an odd number of LLMs, or let them abstain if they are undecided - to try to force them to come up with a clear cut answer.

Then there is also the issue of swarm intelligence, which does not get used here at all, because it only works if the voters DO NOT discuss their thinking before the vote, thus influencing each other. One LLM could be confidently wrong, but because they all are such yes-man - the strongest, most confident sounding voice linguistically, might overweight the correct “thinking”.

So yeah, this seems like a bad approach to a really interesting problem.

Here are some interesting reads on this topic:

I feel like by “scaling” they mean upgradability. So either vertical (adding more drives, ram, cpu) or horizontal (adding more boxes that loadbalance an increase of multiple parallel tasks/users) hahaha ooops

1. use a modern, popular distro. There are less things broken and you get more support

2. do a fresh install with a fresh user to nor carry over your broken configs and customizations. Do everything from scratch again

3. Tackle the issues one by one and provide detailed steps to reproduce, error messages, logs, screenshots or videos. You can ask right here on lemmy, but you’ll probably get more eyes on it on reddit tbh.

I felt just like you a long time ago when kde introduced wayland at the end of 2016. After a couple of super frustrating months, I made a backup of my /home, migrated my archlinux to btrfs (by doing a fresh install) so I can have snapshots and revert if I mess something.

Had only minor issues since then and most have been fixed some years later. Others I’ve learned how to work around (for example by using gamescope, because I have mixed resolution multi monitor setup and some games think my 2k screen is 4k)

I mean, if you try to “scam” the gov, you can clone some codeberg repo to github, rename it, rewrite history to make the commits look like you did everything and then tell the gov “look at how much work I volunteered”. At least in germany, there are currently not enough public workers so many little things go unchecked.

afaik the Ruhr Universiry of Bochum has an intranet that connects the uni and all the dorms. And they selfhost a couple of services, like email, git and pastebin. You can see a line going to the dorms on the graph.

a git history is easily fabricated. you can freely edit it, remove entries or write into it whatever you want, including impersonating other users and fabricating datetime

I use arch btw. Do you also use arch btw?

It’s really touching that you consider me to be a sysadmin, because I use Linux and know how my fs works. I’m actually kinda proud of myself. My arch install has been working for many years.

Linux filesystems exam time:

section A basics

0. what does CoW stand for?

1. evaluate through pros and cons which you personally would pick: Btrfs, ZFS, F2FS, bcachefs, OverlayFS, aufs, Nilfs2, JFFS2, UBIFS

section B btefs

2. what exactly happens when running this command, including how qgroups, compression, and recursion interact?

btrfs balance start -dusage=5 -musage=20 -c zstd \
    --bg /srv/vms && \
btrfs qgroup limit 50G /srv/vms/guests/win10

3. explain the effect of the following command on device allocation, RAID reshaping, and metadsta distribution:

btrfs device add -f /dev/nvme2n1 /home && \
btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid1 -dconvert=raid1 -sconvert=dup /home

4. describe what this snapshotting pipeline does, including send stream structure, parent selection, and how receive-side overwrites are handled:

btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /opt/app /opt/.snaps/auto-$(date +%s) && \
btrfs send -c -p /opt/.snaps/last-full \
    /opt/.snaps/auto-$(date +%s) \
    | ssh backup 'btrfs receive -f /backup/opt/incoming'

5. what actions occur on the filesystem when this defrag call is executed, especially regarding extent sharing and how compression interacts?

btrfs filesystem defrag -r -v -czstd:15 \
    /var/lib/docker/overlay2

6. analyze subvolume management sequence, including how default-subvolume selection influences mount behavior:

btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/root/@old && \
btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/root/@clean /mnt/root/@ && \
btrfs subvolume set-default 256 /mnt/root

section C zfs

I think that really depends on why the app made the system hang.

Can you reproduce it consistently? If so, you could try out different forms of isolation, like flatpak, docker, a VM. And there are linux distros focused on each of those, but you can try a solution on whatever distro you’re running.

If for some reason your system hangs due to resources (which is the only case I have ever experienced), that can be limited through cgroups and such. The only resource I don’t know how to limit is GPU compute.

From my experience with windows:

• you plugin new hardware and boot
• it doesn’t work
• 15 min looking for drivers online on obtuse websites
• suddenly the device works, because windows downloaded and installed something in the background

so more like - plug & i have no idea whats happening & play

if the government fucks around and gets Signal banned

you can use threema or wire or something else will become available on the appstore

Yes, but how though?

We’ve stopped chat control over and over for years. But now they seem to have went through with it.

Usually the linked website has instructions. Now it simply says:

About the Vote: The Council mandate was today endorsed by the Committee of Permanent Representatives (COREPER). About the Procedure: The text will now be negotiated with the European Parliament. The Parliament’s mandate (adopted in Nov 2023) explicitly rules out indiscriminate scanning and demands targeted surveillance based on suspicion.

If there is an organized protest in front of the parlament, link it please.

Whats the difference between sideloading and installing? I don’t get it tbh.

On windows for example, it is the norm to go online to a website, download an exe and double click it - instead of going to the microsoft store. And both are ways to install software. Neither way is doing it sideways.

But also

I can easily see fork related infrastructure for end users making it really eash or automatic to keep up with that cycle.

There could be a store that installs software from github (there already is) and additionally tells you “hey this app you have got forked and the fork has more development happening, do you want to switch to that one and migrate all your settings? y/n”

The current proposal as far as I understand it is that they will tell a company/service to “voluntaraly” scan the content.

Then an open source project that is forced to comply can just stop development and be forked on the last commit and shrug shoulders.

Which will buy enough time, because legally making those requests will take time and work. I can easily see fork related infrastructure for end users making it really eash or automatic to keep up with that cycle.

But even better would be to develop open source hardware based communication solutions, that don’t have the ability to add a backdoor through a software patch. Think like a pager with all the security and privacy bells and whistles.
