Fedora 32-bit Libraries

You might have seen some news regarding Fedora wanting to drop 32-bit libraries in the distant future. This is no longer the case as the proposal has been rescinded without a vote.

That’s good news I hadn’t heard yet. I also noticed the bazaar suddenly appeared yesterday. Now I know why.

Step 1: Get chickens

Step 2: add oats ( oat flakes ) to the pan with grease

Step 3: stir until they’ve absorbed the fat

Step 4: treat the chickens

Step 5: ???

Step 6: Profit!

I think it’s MAC based, but I’m not sure

Specifically talking about the FireTV, 99% sure the app doesn’t have a Killswitch, I’ve checked. I use it all the time on PC and Mobile though :)

Ah! I can’t get a fire stick here so no experience with that.

Setting up the VPN on the router sounds great, but can home routers (I have Cox) flash VPN software on them (thought they couldn’t)?

The asus router I have has a feature called VPN fusion. I specifically bought a set of routers for my home that are in front of my ISP router because I wanted a single SSID and wanted to set my own DNS servers without having to specify them per device . They (ISP) keep restricting features on their router ( can barely do anything on them nowadays ). Also switching ISPs became easier as any config is done in my devices rather than theirs.

Also is it MAC or IP filtering (would I have to set a device to static IP) for deciding which devices use the VPN tunnel? How good is it about switching servers (like if a server I’m connected to is on maintenance or is overloaded)? Not too worried about the web issues, can always hop back on the regular Wi-Fi and use the app.

I THINK it’s Mac based, but I really can’t say. I named the devices on my router and they keep reconnecting as the same device. Either that or it uses some combination of info from the device to identify it.

E.g.: my work MacBook should switch MAC addresses every time it connects to a WiFi, but it’s consistently identified by my router.

Additionally, they have some routers that are supported by custom firmware ( asuswrt-merlin ). Mine don’t support it unfortunately. https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/

Americans believe 20% of the people have an income of over 1 million dollars and 20% 30%of Americans live in NYC. Am I reading this chart wrong?

???

NYC has a population of what? 10 million people? So they think there’s only 30 million people living in the states?

Protonvpn has a Killswitch: https://protonvpn.com/support/what-is-kill-switch

A kill switch is available to all Proton VPN users on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and iPadOS. Newer versions of Android now have built-in kill switch feature, as explained below.

Please note that our regular kill switch feature can’t protect you if you intentionally disconnect from a VPN server. However, the feature does protect you while switching servers with Proton VPN.

Our Windows and Linux apps now also feature an Advanced kill switch. In addition to protecting you from accidental VPN disconnections, this prevents you from accidentally using the internet without the VPN turned on, and it will persist when you shut down and restart your device. You will not be able to connect to the internet if you manually disconnect the VPN without also disabling Advanced kill switch.

or are you in a different scenario where that doesn’t work?

I’ve configured my router to set up a VPN connection to proton ( wireguard config ). I then decide which devices gonout without vpn and which with VPN. ( Default being with VPN ). If the wireguard tunnel happens to go down, the devices can’t surf the web.

RDBMS shines on getbyId queries. Queries where the value starts with should also work well. But queries where the word is in the middle of the value or column generally don’t perform well. Since it’s just for personal use that might not matter too much. If you’re querying on exact values it’ll go pretty smooth. If you’re querying on ‘deniro’ while the value contains ‘bob deniro’ and others it’ll be less performant. But it’s possible it works well enough for your case.

Elasticsearch is well known for text searches and being incredibly flexible with queries and filtering. https://www.elastic.co/

Manticore is one that’s been on my check-it-out for I don’t know how long. It looks great imo: https://manticoresearch.com/

Open search: https://opensearch.org/

Disclaimer: I haven’t really used any RDBMS systems extensively for years so it’s possible there are some that added support for full text searches being more performant.

Aleph also seems to be able to cross reference data between documents. I don’t think any of the ones listed above do this. But I also don’t know if this is part of your requirements.

Win11 start menu is a react native component.

Users report that clicking the Start button can spike CPU usage by 30% to 70% on at least one core, depending on the hardware configuration. The issue doesn’t occur consistently across all systems, with some users noting it happens in about 50% of clicks.

Fully agree with this. I’m far from an expert either, but I saw a YouTube video once, which was depressing, showing how people can cheat nowadays. It just involves custom hardware that “pretends” to be the mouse/monitor/… It doesn’t even cost you a fortune.

Congratulations: your kernel anti cheat does fuck all as the cheat is running on the external hardware before forwarding the info to the pc.

Server-Side anti-cheat is imo the only solution. I have no idea how else to fix this issue. It all seems like a patch to try and make your client trustworthy. Something it inherently isn’t. I realize this is a lot easier said than done.

Why would you want it to automatically grab money from your savings? Wouldn’t you just want to transfer that yourself?

I feel like it’s an extra guardrail that if somebody tries to pull 3000$ from your bank account and you only have 500 there that it can only pull the 500 and not the additional 2500 from your savings account?

If just one or those passwords gets leaked you might find a lot of other ones get cracked as well.

It may not be sites that you care about. But using a password manager is a lot less effort and a lot safer than whatever technique the average Joe will come up with.

Any password that leaks which could indicate a potential system ( e.g.: sitename in lower/upper/leetspeak) makes the whole thing even more vulnerable.

Just use something. Bitwarden, vault warden, keepassxc, …

Knowing my social circle I’d recommend bitwarden. Even paying for it costs a measly 10$/year, while the free version is very usable in itself. And generating passphrases or 32char passwords will be a lot safer than whatever the hell they can come up with.

Just avoid the default browser ones, big tech and LastPass.

Apparently they looked at it and had issues and bugs with arch which could not be fixed:

Would I be in this situation if I took fedora, a distro that has withstood the test of time? Yes.

Bazzite being fairly new is completely besides the point.

Bazzite and the rest of universal Blue would rather call them a custom install of Fedora rather than a distro IIRC.

Bazzite shutting down would be tragic ( for me ). I’ve been quite happy with it. Slowly convincing people to switch. Bazzite was also a relatively low step compared to fixing them a standard distro as all the stuff they want/need is already readily available.

Telling people I decided to promote another distro because the old one stopped is only going to make me have to restart my efforts with an additional hurdle ( how do you know this one won’t stop ).

I tried a few distros. But I didn’t like garuda very much, nobara was okay’ish. Bazzite really clicked for some reason, despite needing a bit of getting used to.

I’d hate to go distro hunting again. Or try and update cpu schedulers and not brick the whole system.

Didn’t Vista get a ton of hate for its new UI?

Nice doctor who reference :D

Note about the proton thing. The game will start but not let you start any competitive game ( unsure about workshop/casual) but it does start.

I tried this when I had issues with cs2 and my Nvidia card. I switched back to the native one because I couldn’t play the proton version.

So i don’t think you’ll get banned for it, it just won’t work. Except if you try to shoehorn/hack the proton version to be able to join competitive games. But that’s a whole other reason to get banned.

Not having any issues anymore since I switched to team red. Though sadly that doesn’t help your case :(.

I’d keep an eye out on the GitHub repo. It’s where I found an issue w.r.t. my Nvidia card at the time and once they found the issue and fixed it it got patched in quite fast.

Ugh! Forking nerds checking my citations! Curses!

It has some advantages for the restaurant though.

• They can easily update the menu without having to reprint it ( update to lunch menu, typos, … )
• It doesn’t get damaged by spilling drinks on it.
• it’s cheaper
• doesn’t waste paper

Some restaurants will go even further and let you order/pay and the just bring your order to the table. The places that do this often still allow you to order through a waiter/waitress though.

What exactly is lazy about it? That they won’t make the effort to print it and laminate it/ put it in a fancy cover?

Like with e-readers, you can complain it doesn’t have the same feel and doesn’t give the same feeling when reading it. Even say it’s impractical if you want to go back and forth. But to claim it is just pure greed and laziness is a bit of a stretch.

The biggest downside imo would be that (a) you’d need a capable smartphone, (b) a functioning internet connection/website and © it being too complicated for older generations/less tech savvy people.

You’re entitled to not like it though :). I’m not too fond of it myself either.

But look at all these cost savings! I made the company profitable /s
