My main system runs Debian stable, so it will be running 13 at some point as well. For people who want a system that works and keeps working and don’t buy new hardware all the time it’s a good choice.

You mean the man’s 14 votes.

Is that a realistic attack scenario that end users need to be concerned about?

I think the main question is if production is viable on a commercial scale, the last I heard it wasn’t very likely to be in the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately they’re probably not stupid enough to all fuck off to Mars soon…

A good grammar book (series), flashcard decks with example sentences (not only vocabulary) and audio by native speakers e.g. from , native media of your choice with subtitles, for some you might be able to use dual subtitles in both your and the original language (some local media players support that, or e.g. ).

Sounds like you should read Children of Memory next then.

the guy is kinda a white/euro supremacist by modern standards. He refers to many of the natives as barbarous and examines their worth by how “civilized” they were in one aspect or another. […] It was written in the 1840s so this is to be expected.

There’s still people around saying that Native Americans deserved to be… displaced because they didn’t use the land “properly”.

Last finished: Deadhouse Gates (2nd Malazan novel), not sure what I think of the series yet, it has engaging parts, but too much violence for my mood atm (don’t need dying refugees in my entertainment).

Now: The Last Continent, Discworld is always recommended.

Most of the recent(ish) updates are vulnerability fixes (after all, the platform is over eight years old now), and they’ve removed various intermediate versions already or there’d be even more.

This board has a dual BIOS, the integrated flashing utility by default only flashes the main BIOS, and you have to enable the option to flash the backup explicitly. Never had to use the backup, afaik it activates automatically if booting the main BIOS fails several times.

My ASUS “only” has a recovery function (flash BIOS from USB stick automatically if bootup fails) and no warning that I could find.

From https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370M-Gaming-3-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios (manual contains the same, plus a recommendation to keep the default settings):

" Warning: Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction."

According to https://www.computerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16-gb-test.92119/seite-8#abschnitt_leistungsaufnahme_gaming_die_lastspitzen it peaks at 201 W.

As others mentioned, the rest of the PC is important too, but there’s also differences in PSU quality. IIRC ATX 3.x requires them to actually be able to supply the nominal power continuously, with short spikes up to twice that. While older and cheaper PSUs often listed the peak output which they couldn’t sustain, that’s why a lot of power supply calculators recommend a much higher wattage than strictly necessary.

So, assuming a “65 W” AMD CPU which maxes out at 88 W plus the 200 W GPU plus a 50 W buffer for mainboard and drives etc., a good new 350 W PSU should run such a system (assuming you could actually buy one, the lowest ATX 3.x PSUs I’ve seen start at 450 W).

But to answer the question if you can continue to use your old PSU you a) need to know how much the rest of the system needs, mainly the CPU (which as others have mentioned can range from under 100 W to ~300 W), and b) the real power your PSU can supply which depends on its age and quality - maybe tell us the exact CPU and PSU in question.

Probably means there will be new PNGs that old software won’t be able to open.

you’d have to throw like 20% to 40% of the entire US stockpile of these

Anything for a Nobel peace prize.

Exactly. There need to be rules that make people responsible for decisions made by software.

Something like https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger to crop pages might work, or https://flathub.org/apps/net.sourceforge.Pdfedit (old and possibly insecure) for more options.

The worst are wars imo. Massive usage of resources to build war machinery, massive destruction of infrastructure that used resources to build, massive usage of resources to clean up and rebuild… And it’s usually not accounted for: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/warfares-climate-emissions-are-huge-but-uncounted/

GNU parallel, to run commands on all cores, and for its filename pattern substitution.

For example: ls *.flac | parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.mp3 encodes a directory of FLAC files to MP3. parallel -a <(ls *.flac) -a <(ls *.mp3) --xapply copytags {1} {2} then copies each FLAC file’s metadata to the corresponding MP3 file (which ffmpeg already does, just to illustrate the --xapply option).

edit: copytags is https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/copytags if that’s useful for anyone.

5900XT and 64 gb of ram

is about $700

That sounds a lot to me for that. Maybe a used 5900X could be a cheaper alternative.

If you’re using a password on one site you’re trusting that site to keep that password safe, so that only you can access your account.

If you’re using one password everywhere you’re trusting the weakest site to keep your most important account safe, which is obviously a bad idea.

Your friend is trusting the weakest sites he uses (or used at any point in the past) to keep his password scheme safe. Not quite as obviously bad, but to me it doesn’t seem to be a particularly good idea either.
