No problem is a bit of an exaggeration, though. For starters, if your are running with a non-root user, it bites you when trying to share a host volume, specially in SELinux. I can imagine other situations when one has to fiddle with it. But yes, go with podman whenever possible.

Mihies , (edited )

podman unshare is your friend. And placing :Z at the end of bl volume share to make SELinux happy

Mihies ,

The effect might be in fact similar.

Elon Musk’s politics cost his firm Tesla more than one million EV sales, report reveals ( www.cnn.com )

Elon Musk’s polarizing political actions since acquiring Twitter, later rebranded X, in 2022 dramatically hurt the automaker’s U.S. sales, underscoring how deeply its fortunes are intertwined with the billionaire’s persona....

Mihies ,

And yet Tesla sales are increasing once more 🤷‍♂️ People are stupid, don't care or both.

Can it be a BIOS/UEFI setting that disk is hot swappable? I vaguely remember similar issue on Windows. If that's the case, try setting it as not hot swappable in BIOS/UEFI.

The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started ( cleantechnica.com )

" CATL has thrown its hat into the ring with the Naxtra sodium-ion battery, with 175 Wh/kg and 10,000 lifetime cycles along with operation from -40°C to 70°C. CATL is planning a start-stop battery for trucks using the technology. It has the potential to replace lead-acid batteries. CATL has announced battery pricing at the...

It's unlikely you will see a car powered by those in near future if ever as they have relatively low density. But you'll definitely see those as home battery and such where size/density doesn't matter that much. And I bet it's less inflammable as well.

Edit: ha, I stand corrected, there are cars powered by these but don't expect huge range.

Mihies ,

The price 🤯👀

Mihies ,

Yep

Mihies ,

It's still roughly half of the NMC. I wonder what's the charging speed.

Mihies ,

On MacOS is UMT/Qemu.

Mihies ,

I don't think there are plenty of dogfights in this era. Airplanes are mostly used for dropping bombs and rockets against ground targets from a safe distance and shooting down cruise missiles and drones.

Mihies ,

LOL, Putin once more played it well against his tool.

Mihies ,

Not so smart afterall, eh?

Former French President Sarkozy begins a 5-year prison sentence for campaign finance conspiracy ( apnews.com )

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy arrived at a prison in Paris on Tuesday to begin serving a 5-year sentence for a criminal conspiracy to finance his 2007 election campaign with funds from Libya — a historic moment that makes him the first ex-leader of modern France to be imprisoned.

Mihies ,

In the US he'd be elected as a dictator instead. Bad luck being born in France.

Mihies ,

Upvoted because I was always curious where that one downvote comes from.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Mihies ,

Israel wasn't really much different at any point in time. The only difference is that now they are doing it on a bigger scale.

Mihies ,

Kudos to you to see through them.

Mihies ,

Why DDR6 though? It will be expensive at start and won't bring much to your workstation unless you are really memory perf bound.

Mihies ,

Not sure, but I assume a couple of years at least - it might be also affected by stupid external factors, like insane tariffs and such. Also it will take some time for DDR6 perf to go up - for both mobos and memory. So even at the start you might be still better off DDR5 and if you go with DDR6 you might need to replace mobo and memory to get better perf. That's my impression on hardware situation, I might be wrong, though.

What is your use case for threadripper, I'm curious? AFAIK it's not a good match for gaming at least. Or is it?

Mihies ,

How time flies, eh? I went searching for more info - https://www.techpowerup.com/339178/ddr6-memory-arrives-in-2027-with-8-800-17-600-mt-s-speeds
It also mentions an architectural change to increase the speed further.

Mihies ,

I was kinda guessing that images, video and such are your use case - yep, those might really benefit from a faster memory and plenty of cores. Not sure if it affect ML much since it'd be calculated on GPU. Thanks for info on gaming.

Mihies , (edited )

One could have call it magapox!

Mihies ,

Whoa, isn't Biden the responsible? /s

Mihies ,

He's talking about non Android phones. We all know that Android is Linux based.

Mihies ,
Mihies ,

Even though EU has substantial tariffs on them. If we lowered the tariffs or eliminate them, we'd have dirty cheap cars and no more domestic car industry over night.

Mihies ,

I can't understand why there is no law against that - at least give users a choice. This concern is valid for all cars, not only EVs and not only Chinese.

Mihies ,

Ah, sorry, I was referring to the EU, not Canada.

Mihies ,

Where would you store it then?

Mihies , (edited )

Yes, currently I'm using my brain for that and was thinking a security key such as Yubikey with touch requirement + PIN. But at least on Linux there is no support for that, or is it?

Edit: Ha, there actually is - https://mhdez.com/posts/unlocking-encrypted-linux-with-a-yubikey/

Mihies ,

From what I read so far, hardware key is just another way to decrypting, not the required. So it's just a convenient method to avoid typing a (long) password and instead just few PIN chars. So, if somebody gets hold of password, can still decrypt the disk even without the hardware key. Not perfect, but still better than only password.

For Linux gaming (including DX12), is there a strong reason to choose NVIDIA over AMD?

I have this question. I see people, with some frequency, sugar coating the Nvidia GPU marriage with Linux. I get that if you already have a Nvidia GPU or you need CUDA or work with AI and want to use Linux that is possible. Nevertheless, this still a very questionable relationship....

Mihies , (edited )

From just hardware perspective, Nvidia cards are more energy efficient.

Edit: I stand corrected, series 9070 is much more energy efficient.

Mihies ,

While measuring power efficiency is not an easy task, I doubt that AMD is better. Here is an older article https://www.tomshardware.com/news/geforce-rtx-4070-vs-radeon-rx-6950-xt-which-gpu-is-better
But you are right, things seem changing https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/incredibly-efficient-amd-rx-9070-gpu-review-benchmarks-vs-9070-xt-rtx-5070
Hopefully AMD improves on efficiency in future.

Mihies ,

That's great.

Get off Android to ... Android 🤪

Zelenskyy: Russia no longer exports but imports petrol and that's our achievement ( www.pravda.com.ua )

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Russia is importing petrol, calling it the rightful result of the work of the Security Service, the Armed Forces, intelligence and Ukrainian weapons manufacturers....

Mihies ,

Isn't Russian economy based mainly on oil export? If that's true, then it should collapse soon. I a little bit doubt that it'll actually happen soon, though.

Mihies ,

That's quite probable. Also even help from China is probably not sustainable. Let's hope it crumbles, the sooner the better.

Mihies ,

Makes sense.

Mihies ,

We need Digital Euro yesterday.

Mihies ,

There are some (many is really a stretch) but not available in many countries nor supported by many merchants.

Mihies ,

It's the other way round, US enables genocide as a weapon to hurt random civilians of a wrong skin color.

Mihies ,

I read it, I have no info whether they care about other genocides or not (perhaps I've missed it), however, we are talking about Biden's enabling of the genocide in Palestine, aren't we?

Mihies ,

Why would Canada but weapons from a hostile country?

Mihies ,

Ha whatever the sabotage status, you will be dependent on rockets delivery for sure. Just like Ukraine is. Anyway, I'm rooting for you when those wars come 😵‍💫

Mihies ,

I think you are wrong then. First, even Li-ion batteries are recyclable to a huge amount, usually the problem is that different manufacturers pack them differently without any blueprint and then it's much harder to recycle them. Then there are a ton of different chemistries with ones really harmless (i.e. using sodium instead of lithium) but they come with less energy density. Which isn't that important when it comes to energy storage for the network purpose but it's important when it comes to cars and portable electronic devices. Also different chemistries have different lifetime, i.e. LFP batteries have better durability and are less fire prone than the standard li-ion.

Mihies ,

You have some valid points. Yes, economical aspect is crap, countries should push laws demanding that producers guarantee recycling and/or state clear lifecycle of the battery (actually it should be applied to all products). Even still, there are companies that do recycle batteries for profit, so it's not that absurd.
But you miss the whole other aspect with different chemistries, many even harmless to the environment. You are focused only on current li-ion it seems which are not very network storage friendly anyway.
