But capitalism operates under infinite growth assumptions, and perpetually seeks increases in value. Any dip, regardless of how much it actually affects the company’s ability to operate and generate a profit, is a problem that spells doom for capitalists.

Not just one time. As someone from south-america, Argentinians are always racist against other south-americans. Playing against an Argentinian in an online match is a guarantee to hear a racist slur.

Ddr4 ram has already come down in prices in Alliexpress, still way higher than previous market prices before all the “AI craze”, but half of what it was a few weeks ago. Maybe, soon enough buying ram at normal-ish prices will be possible.

That show was fresh. I still seethe for it being cancelled.

Also, if they delist a game you had, you can just sail the high seas easily, and there are even revival projects for always-online games that reverse engineer servers.

Yeah, I guess I have to accept that Linux will let you do the wrong thing, and (sometimes?) not even ask for confirmation. However, it seems weird to me that the default is not the other way around. Logically, every drive that is not where the system itself is, should be mounted, by default, as non-essential. The fact that the system does the opposite by default is what it baffles me.

The drive that caused a problem was part of a Jbod I had set up, to serve as the partition where my jellyfin library is located. I later discovered it was not my pcie expansion card, but the drive itself that is going bad. It has seen 2271 days of activity, and, apparently, it can’t handle being chock full anymore. After deleting some files it stopped occasionally going off. I can’t remember exactly where I got my guide from, but this one I didn’t use LLM for. I had just searched how to mount a jbod in Fedora 44 on duck, and followed the first result (which seemed okay). Thanks for the heads-up though, I’ll be more careful from now on.

However, these bleeding edges also seem to be the sort of thing that the Linux developers community should iron out of the system for better mainstream adoption of Linux. This is, logically, not how a default should be.

Edit: typos, grammar.

Thanks! I’ll do that today. I did read a lot of the journal (that was how I eventually figured out the problem), but getting to the journal was already a process. What I don’t understand is why super critical errors are hidden away in a log instead of being shoved in my face once they happen.

That’s also a trip. My keyboard is not the standard 104 american layout, because I’m not American, and while using GRUB I had to discover what keys actually stood in for symbols like / and | because it had reverted back to standard layout.

No, but I will now lol

I’ll look into it! Fstab seems like… something.

My gf was complaining her laptop was slow, even though she bought it new last year and it wasn’t a cheapo. I went to take a look, 8gb win 11 laptop, hammering more than 7 gb of memory while doing literally nothing after being turned on. “Maybe there’s something wrong” I cleaned up her startup apps, uninstalled some stuff that she never used (and came as bloat from samsung), did some optimizations… Restarted, and still at 7+ gb of memory use. Yep, it’s fucked.

Yeah, I usually just read 2 or 3 positive and 2 or 3 negative reviews and look at the % score of the game. It’s all you need to know if a game is for you or not. Also, follow people who have similar taste to you, in my case, that’s Force Gaming and Iron Pineapple, whatever they play and really like, there’s a good chance I’ll like it as well. On top of that, I now have the habit of playing Steam Next Fest demos as much as I can to discover new games.

I just need a few more billion trillion dollars, bro, I swear. Trickle down economics work, just a few more trillions. I swear, bro, AI will bring UBI, just several more trillion dollars, bro. I swear, bro.

The problem of fighting for democracy using social media, is that the ones controlling the algorithm are precisely the ones that don’t want the “left” to succeed. It is essentially fighting a battle in the enemy’s field, where they control the land itself. At small scales, it might work. But it will never work when it comes to true important positions. I’d go as far as to say that the mirage that it works in cases like Mandani is part of their plan, to keep the left locked in their platforms “because that’s what works”. Here in my country, Brazil, I could clearly see the impacts of the algorithm changes they put in place after 2011, after the pro-democracy movements that started on Facebook. Their networks started to curb engagement from the left, and massively boost fake news, right-wing content, ultra nationalism, and such. It’s naive to think that social media can be used to win the populace back to the left. They’ll never let it happen.

I shall sail the high seas then

My Brazillian brother, look at the numbers of Lula’s governments, both 2003, 2007, and now in 2022. Look at GDP (pib), inflation, purchasing power, real growth of the economy, inequality numbers, price of the dollar, all of that. And you’ll have your answer if Lula is only a little better.

Yes, I’m building one with old components that I have been buying and saving up for the last three years. I got a good deal on an Arc A310 and that’s the newest thing in that setup, the other stuff is all 8+ years old.

Thanks! I’ll chech these out. I’m planning to start moving things over this weekend, so I’ll take the couple of days till then to learn as much as possible.

What are the downsides of not using proxmox right now? Most people on this thread are recommending it, so even if it’s a little difficult now, but more capable in the long run, I’m up for the challenge.

Yeah, there’s no way I can build another machine in this economy haha Especially because I’m in SA, and here hardware costs 2x-4x
