I nowadays manage my private stuff with the ansible scripts I develop for work - so mostly my own stuff is a development environment for work, and therefore doesn't need to be done on private time.

There is nothing like this availlable currently. Framework probably comes closest, but they only sell in a few countries, and there is lots of stuff to dislike about their solutions - but building your own around a framework board might be feasible.

I have two mnt reforms - as you said, slow and expensive. They have their use for work prototyping for me, but generally wouldn't recommend. They also have the worst keyboard I've encountered in a notebook in the last decade.

Generally yes, but you still need hardware support (mostly kernel and mesa). They upstream - but generally you currently want packages built from their git for that.

Also the installer is very mac hardware specific.

One thing I like about bluesky is that your identity doesn't have to be tied to an instance domain - you'd still have issues if you want to change is later, but if you plan ahead and use your domain you can just move it between instances.

Gibt da dummerweise noch mindestens CAS, sowie Hersteller die bei keinem davon mitmachen. Lustigerweise scheint Steinel sowohl bei CAS als auch Power for all dabei zu sein.

Dazu kommt dann noch dass z.B. Bosch mindestens 4 verschiedene Akkusysteme hat - zwei 12V und zwei 18V. Die Heimwerkerversion ("gruen") von beiden Spannungen ist power for all, die Profiversion ("blau") ist separat. Die blauen Akkus sind sauteuer - aber klar darauf ausgelegt dass die notfalls auch in einem aktiven Kriegsgebiet ueberleben.

A lot of the Zen based APUs don't support ECC. The next thing is if it supports registered or unregistered modules - everything up to threadripper is unregistered (though I think some of the pro parts are registered), Epycs are registered.

That makes a huge difference in how much RAM you can add, and how much you pay for it.

Was mich immer nervt ist dass anscheinend niemand der das nutzt sich ueber sowas Gedanken macht, und wenn man das anspricht wird man ausgelacht. Prominentes Beispiel waere Uber - ich hatte die damals nicht genutzt weil einfach klar ist dass die den Taxipreis nur schlagen koennen wenn sie Teile der Taxidienstleistungen nicht bieten, und/oder die Fahrer verhungern lassen. Beides haben sie gemacht - siehe z.B. surge pricing. Taxi hat Befoerderungspflicht und feste Preise.

Essenslieferdienste sind ein anderes Beispiel, da wurde massiv Restauranteigene Inrastruktur zerstoert, und sowohl fuer Kunden als auch Fahrer sind die Bedingungen schlechter. Absolut absehbar, und haette man verhindern koennen wenn man von Anfang an die entsprechenden Dienste vermieden haette. War ich aber auch wieder wohl praktisch der einzige - ich hab die letzten Monate dann doch mal ueber Foodora bestellt weil alles andere jetzt eben weg ist.

Not just that - intel did dual core CPUs as a response to AMD doing just that, by gluing two cores together. Which is pretty funny when you look at intels 2017 campaign of discrediting ryzen by calling it a glued together CPU.

AMDs Opteron was wiping the floor with intel stuff for years - but not every vendor offered systems as they got paid off by intel. I remember helping a friend with building a kernel for one of the first available Opteron setups - that thing was impressive.

And then there's the whole 64bit thing which intel eventually had to license from AMD.

Most of the big CPU innovations (at least in x86 space) of the last decade were by AMD - and the chiplet design of ryzen is just another one.

That's already the friendly variant. Traditional find has a mandatory path as first argument, so to find in the current directory you need to do find .

It also doesn't know if it really is a path - it just prints that as a likely error. You might just have messed up quoting an argument.

Is it a ‘death by quantity’ thing?

Pretty much that - those companies rely on open projects to sort it for them, so they're pretty much scraping open databases, and selling good data they pull from there. That's why they were complaining about the kernel stuff - the info required was there already, just you needed to put effort in, so they were asking for CVEs. Now they got their CVEs - but to profit from it they'd still need to put the same effort in as they'd had to without CVEs in place.

Short version: A bunch of shitty companies have as business model to sell open databases to companies to track security vulnerabilities - at pretty much zero effort to themselves. So they've been bugging the kernel folks to start issuing CVEs and do impact analysis so they have more to sell - and the kernel folks just went "it is the kernel, everything is critical"

tl;dr: this is pretty much an elaborate "go fuck yourself" towards shady 'security' companies.

Making an exception for one organisation, pressured by politicians, would be harmful. BBC has the following policy about neutral reporting:

We don't use loaded words like "evil" or "cowardly". We don't talk about "terrorists". And we're not the only ones to follow this line. Some of the world's most respected news organisations have exactly the same policy
