I always forget what subset of bins come on the livecd, does it do lsblk?

Maybe industry specific stuff like photoshop or something.

Web browsers and normal stuff will keep on trucking as long as the os has a valid root certificate.

Oh this is entirely different than soldering the ram to the motherboard (which is really common on pc laptops now too, it’s harder to find one with sockets now than it’s ever been!).

The ram is inside the cpu. The processor isn’t “just” a cpu (although you can’t call even the old pentium “just” a cpu, they do so much nowadays!), it’s got the video card, bus controllers, ram and all kinds of other stuff built into that one IC!

It’s a SoC, System on a Chip, just like the processors that run phones and tablets and stuff.

If you go the cheap m1 route, get the most ram you can find in it. The m series have ram built into the chip, so you can’t upgrade it later.

Also if the previous owner says it’s getting slow then nuke the ssd with the dd command after you have confirmed ownership is transferred. You’ll have a longer process to reinstall the os from first principles but it’ll fix slowness from the ssds old blocks having never been rewritten.

He burned to death in an Israeli strike on a hospital. Who else should be blamed in the story about the effect and meaning of his tragic killing? What particular responsible party should be named in the headline of that story?

Maybe not as expensive as you think. The classic getting into the mac game choice is the 2012 mbp 12”, which can run a supported macos with opencore legacy patcher and costs <$200 with 16gb ram and an ssd.

The next best starter option is probably to make the big long leap to a first gen m1 air which can be had for ~$400 if you keep your eyes open.

Those are both expensive to me lol, but not the multiple thousands for a new computer.

The alternative route I took is maintaining a mac computer for when I need to “be normal”.

The “neutral language” you’re describing is called passive voice. It’s used to avoid saying who performed the actions in question and that is a form of bias.

In the last few years, newspapers selective use of passive voice - cloaked as “neutral language” - to shield groups or organizations they’re sympathetic to from police to the idf has come under fire because people recognize it as deflecting blame from the powerful and casting the injustice and violence of those in power as unavoidable tragedy.

He just burned to death, isn’t that sad? Alexa play despacito.

A good project between now and then is to investigate the iot sku. It has everything “unnecessary” cut out because it’s intended to be installed on refrigerators and has a much longer support window (2032?) for the same reason.

You should set up dual boot now so you don’t get surprised by differences when support ends and you feel the need to switch to an ltsc sku or use Linux.

Don’t wait, prepare!

Keep a hold of windows for a little while so that if something critical comes up that you can’t figure out you have a fallback.

No need to worry, disk failures almost never result in fires or hazardous conditions.

A-yuk-yuk-yuk.

Seriously: you have a disk that has failed, based just on that little snippet of the logs, internally (ICRC ABRT). You can either use a tool like spinrite to try and repair it, but you may lose all the data in the process, or replace it.

A user suggested bad cabling and that’s a possibility, one you can check easily if the error is reproducible by swapping the cable. Before I swap cables often I’ll confirm the diagnosis using smartctl and look for whatever the drive manufacturer calls the errors that happen between the media and disk controller chip on the drive. If it has those then there’s no point in trying a cable swap, the problem is not happening there.

People will say that you can’t “fix” bad disks with tools like spinrite or smartctl. I’ve found that to be incorrect. There are certainly times when the disk is kaput but most of the time it’ll work fine and can go back into service.

Of course, that’s recovering from errors when I get an email or text the first time and going back to service in a multi-parity array so lowered criticality and early detection could have lots to do with that experience.

I don’t know of any msi or asus boards with problems. Of course, I rejected coreboot as a requirement so that plays into it.

My personal experience is: don’t overclock and everything will run fine for at least ten years.

Blender works faster with nvidia and it’s been the optimal hardware for maybe two decades now. There’s just so much support and knowledge out there for getting every feature in the tool working with it that I couldn’t in good faith recommend a person use amd cards to have a slightly nicer Wayland experience or a little better deal.

If you’re only doing llm text work then a case could be made for a non cuda (non-nvidia) accelerator. Of course at that point you’d be better served by one of those coral doodads.

Were you only doing text based ml work or was there image recognition/diffusion/whatever in there too?

Shit that’s a good point! I’ll edit my post.

Yeah when you build from source you gotta dl some blobs from busybox and some other projects. It works fine with the ones the developer claims their build is based off of, the ones whose checksums are listed in the docs and match what you get when you ask for them from the repos for the aforementioned busybox or whatever.

I haven’t pulled apart a binary release of ventoy to check and see if it actually has those documented blobs or something else.

I’ll look at glim. Might be cool.

Push ctrl-alt-3 or 2 or something till you get a terminal. Run the command ls /dev/sd*

Post what it says back to you.

E: if you don’t see two drives, do ls /dev/nvm*

I wasn’t completely convinced by that since I build it from source and the binary blobs match their checksums. Months between releases isn’t out of the ordinary for some projects too…

Regardless, what is an alternative that works the same way?

I have only used them with network manager, but according to the manual it seems possible to use them free of network manager, and maybe even systemd!

You can’t make a usb bootable without root access iirc. If you already have a bootable usb like ventoy then you can load any goofy thing you want into it without root access and it’ll work.

Yes you can!

As you said, it’s got everything to do with routing and you don’t know how to do that yet.

Now’s a great time to learn!

If you’re on a time crunch, go ahead and use network namespaces under network manager to set up something like what you want as another user suggested.

If you have time to learn about the firewall and routing table rules, put on your wire rim sunglasses, pop a jungle cd in and crack open Linux Firewalls or some such book for nerds.

Nah, anything will work fine.

Just a quick question, are you sure it’s the cpu that died? Those ivy bridge (?) chips really seem to last. I’d be surprised if it was the cpu and not the motherboard or power supply of something.

You have one of the nicer fourth gen chips. It would probably be worth it to take it to a computer shop or something and have them try to boot it with a good board.

If it’s still kicking, those motherboards are cheap as heck. The ddr3 is cheap too.

No reason not to keep it around to run a file server/seedbox/Jellyfin server/whatever.
