But more simple than that. If I’m not mistaken this is simply a font where A is mapped to P and B to V and so on. The fonts we use all are saved by the comp as character codes. Fonts are just a map of glyphs.

Wingdings is the mist famous and oldest case of a font where any letter typed comes out as something completely different.

So they have mapped a font where the letters are jumbled, and used the map with a script to encode the pages content to the same cypher. Loading the page with anything but the font that draws the intended letter instead of the letter that is verbatim on the page results in garbage.

Fuck you, Linus Torvalds.

Lots of people use it, I recommend they try ifconfig.co - cleaner curl output.

What’s wrong with KDE? 😅

I often play docked, but when I do I am usually playing something with high graphics demand (FFVII Rebirth) where I flip to desktop mode and use the Steam Link app to connect to my PC. If you are looking to play a really high end game via streaming, I recommended not using the SteamOS streaming and rather using the SteamLink app. Performance and controller detection work much better.

For local games I’m playing stuff more like Moonstone Island, Planet Crafter, etc and it works great. I like the ability to slap on some extra peripherals. I attach a small USB keyboard for games that occasionally need it, and a mouse, but I generally play with the PS5 controller I have.

My one beef is Smart TVs like my Samsung playing poorly with their stupid “smart device detection”… And it some times takes some playing around to get the video to connect properly (sound comes through)… A problem absent from my “dumb” Westinghouse TV/DVD combo LCDs i grabbed. So YMMV on connectivity if you have a less than well built Smart TV.

Zimaboards do not need RAM. They include it (do not confuse it with the Zimablade).

I just use the default hardware with the Zimaboards. Zimaboard 832s for the masters and nodes, and I recently added a couple of Zimaboard 2s for larger nodes as those have 16gb.

I like the boards, they perform well and the intel cpus in them have internal GPUs so for light transcoding or GPU loads they can be leveraged without need for GPU cards. After trying several other x86 based options, Zimaboards are my preferred option.

I used Zimaboards. They are affordable and all you need if you couple the cluster with a TrueNAS Scale box and setup Democratic CSI.

Complying with this shit is nuts.

Is there an Arch fork that is not implementing this shit or do I have to go non systemd now? Because this BS is not going on any of my machines.

Personally, I think this first response nails it.

Linux is not sold. So you either need to force users to install this on their systems, or go eat rocks.

Enterprise distros on the other hand… Need to do this.

Kube makes it easy to have a lot, as a lot of things you need to deploy on every node just deploy on every node. As odd as it sounds, the number of containers provides redundancy that makes the hobby easy. If a Zimaboard dies or messes up, I just nuke it, and I don’t care whats on it.

Kids should NOT be on social media.

Uh… Probably somewhere around 150?

Snaps should put them in F tier.

Same!

Was super interested right up until the AI recommendations bit.

I have run Pihole on 2 physical Pi 4s (DietPi OS) with config sync for 3 years now. Core to the house. Very reliable.

Oh sorry, just realized we are talking app servers.

Yeah, Google apps, and linux hosted apps. Havent had a company that ran windows or MS anything in 14 years.

Forgejo and self hosted action workers.

Mac, actually. Its a different kind of bad. At least I can use many of the same cli tools.
