Isn't that mostly a problem in the big, international ports / port cities? I mean, you can have empty prisons everywhere and still mot enough police and customs there
I have a facemask with active coal in it. Still feels weird to look in the mirror with it, but posting that to Twitter without context is sure to give you some interaction.
Seriously tho, some people try so hard to feel offended, it's embarrassing.
I don't really get the argument of Microsoft being cemented. I mean, firstly they are pretty much everywhere, so I can't see how it's getting worse. Secondly, the German state partly uses Linux, even outside of servers, which is already more than I expected. You can't expect a state to "just switch" to anything. We are talking hundreds of thousands of users and computers here...
Recaptcha is one of the worst providers of such services. At times, I need to complete like 10 for being one square off or whatever, while I need a single attempt for e.g. Arkose Labs stuff.
Sometimes, like in the picture (whether it's real or not), the captcha is simply wrong and you can't do it right but by accident. I already did not visit websites because I didn't feel like giving it another try.
Ivan the Troll’s media message is that this is hypocrisy. Western governments, he has noted, have armed the world’s insurgents and authoritarian leaders with weapons of war. “I’m sharing a computer file,” he said in a 2022 interview. “If I’m guilty of sharing information, what does that make them?”
"Owning hypocrites" is hardly a good reason to endanger the general population
Other people being worse doesn't make you any better or less guilty
Sacrificing peoples lives to send a message kinda does make you a terrorist
If this was his intention that is. It seems so given his nickname, but maybe he just got famous and used his chance to come up with some bullshit.
You can reinstall stuff without uninstalling it first (yay -S <package>). To add to the other comment suggesting a driver reinstall, you can use downgrade to revert back to old versions (and also to keep it fixed till you wanna give it another go, don't forget if you do so tho!).
Moreover, set up snapshots! They provide a very straightforward way to recover from failed updates.
If you are on btrfs, you need: snapper, snap-pac, btrfs-assistant (optional, but provides a GUI and more automation...)
If you are on ext4: timeshift, timeshift-autosnap
Im both cases you need to create a profile for root (/), although when it comes to Timeshift I think you need (/ want to) exclude /home. (On the default btrfs setup, you don't need to do this, because /home is it's own subvolume).
It depends on the brand I guess. Some Canon Pixma did immediately worked with my distro, like literally zero setup required. However, it refuses duplexing. It just won't do it. Not driverless and not with gutenprint, although it lists the specific model, not when setting it as the default, not when setting it per job.
If I had to do encrypted btrfs RAID from scratch, I would probably:
Set up LUKS on both discs
Unlock both
Create a btrfs partition on one mapper
Add the other with btfs device add /path/to/mapper /path/to/btrfs/part
Balance with btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid1 -dconvert=raid1 /path/to/btrfs/part
Add LUKS' to crypttab, btrfs partition to fstab and rebuild/configure bootloader as necessary
In that scenario, you would probably want to use a keyfile to unlock the other disc without rentering some password.
Now, that's from the top of my head and seems kinda stupidly complicated to me. iirc btrfs has a stable feature to convert ext4 to btrfs. It shouldn't matter whatever happens outside, so you could take your chances and just try that on your ext volume
(Edit: But to be absolutely clear: I would perform a backup first :D)
I think there are good kinds of fragmentation (choice and/or competition) and many bad kinds/causes of fragmentation (clinging to abandonware, reinventing the wheel, rejecting reasonable changes, "rewrite it in X-lang", demanding complete control, style/design choices that don't actually matter...)
That I can understand, however I want to piont out that this is an Nvidia problem entirely. Wayland works perfectly fine under 2/3 hardware vendors.
Luckily, they finally open-sourced their shit so going forward, this will probably change. But chances are only from the 2000 series on, so it might take an upgrade for many folks...
It's 2000 series, so they are supported by the new OSS driver, no?
