I read the article… I’m not picking up what you’re implying here? What’s the link to trump?

Is it the rhetoric of “foreign ppl shouldn’t be having babies here?”

That’s a lot of pedantic side-stepping.

Your Holy Imperial Majesty?

Look, I don’t know what you’re trying to get out of this conversation, but at this point, you can kindly fuck off.

Oh, I fully understand what you said, the diatribe wasn’t required. I just thought it was weird, just walking into a chili cook-off telling everyone you don’t like chili.

Your argument might have some weight if Roblox had been included in the ban. You know, Roblox, the well-known haven of groomers and pedos.

Bold reply in r/Linux.

If you’re in aus, can you share how the ban has been? I’d like to hear how it’s actually working out…

That’s all well and good, but getting kids off those platforms is neither the goal nor the outcome of this new law.

ntfxfix should only have to be done once, then you can remount. Unless you are using these partitions in windows, in which case you’ll need to do it every time.

777 is read/write/execute for owner, group, and world, respectively. It’s the most permissive POSIX permission that can be set. If something can’t write on a 777 umask, then either the filesystem is mounted read-only, or something is deeply wrong with the storage.

drives are NTFS

You probably have the clean unmount bit unset for the NTFS partition. This is trivial to bypass, but I would suggest not using NTFS in Linux, NTFS is not a great fs and Linux support is… OK.

I’d say the second, based on evidence we’re already seeing in real-life outcomes. LLM chatbots have been linked directly to several suicides already, which would be a startling pattern if these were visits to a therapist or repeated encouragement from another person.

The most common way ppl interact with AI is with something like chatgpt, and these exhibit some very worrisome and largely sycophantic behaviour.

Proxmox has no desktop by default. You can install it, add a desktop environment, but it will be less hassle to just use Debian as the desktop and install proxmox on top of that.

Ultimately, it’s all Linux or Unix. You can install qemu/KVM and libvirt on just about anything.

You can pretty much just pick your distribution and then add KVM on top of that, it will get you a long way before you need to use anything with more features.

A lot of people like to keep their hypervisor separate from their daily driver, but you can totally just fire up VMs and containers on your dd if that works for you.

Proxmox

• based on KVM
• relatively easy to install
• big community and lots of how-to guides
• well-documented hardware pass through
• minimal install (no cups, no extraneous software)

Really great article.

I was a bit critical of your last post on kernel init stuff, but this one is well laid out and gets quickly to the material at hand: all applications make the same system calls.

Keep it up, I’m going to follow this.

Who is using US English in this article? It isn’t involved.

I’m agreeing with you. Is there something unclear in my comment?

I agree, personally.

And the absence of as many formal modding tools is, I believe, a reflection that many other Linux gamers think this as well.

You’re talking about modding in general, which is pretty similar in Linux to windows, besides some obligatory learning about Wine/Proton contexts. Hint: just use protontricks and install your windows mods that way.

But what you are actually asking is “why hasn’t someone else made a nice, easy tool for modding like I had on windows?”

And the answer to that is:

No one is stopping you from making it.

Welcome to Linux. You wanted freedom, you got it.

That’s one of the things that makes World War I and II so unusual.

Um, not sure where youre getting that… Germany began arms buildup literally as soon as WW1 was over in 1918. The Treaty of Versailles arguably marks the beginning of economic warfare in the 20th century.

My LDAP PTSD is coming back…

I’ll make the following LDAP assumptions:

• LDAP directory is configured and available
• LDAP uri is configured and a lookup on system level is working and returns the correct POSIX uid/gid with LDAP query
• no POSIX conflicts on the client (no object in passwd has uid/uid 11004) I can assume this because the fail over is root
• LDAP search base is configured and returns expected POSIX values

And I’ll make the following postgres assumptions:

• pg_hba.conf is configured for LDAP server address, port, and search base
• postgres can instantiate and connect to its dbs using LDAP with ldap

Finally, I’ll assume that your nfsv4 mount is active and that POSIX operations work at Pam - level tests.

The line

group:      files [SUCCESS=merge] sss [SUCCESS=merge] systemd

Seems weird to me; either you add success clause to both uid and gid, or none, but not one and not the other.

This would also hint that Pam has not been updated to use LDAP.

That’s where I’d start.

Side note: LDAP is by default unencrypted on the wire, so to complete this exercise, you may want to setup secrecy on the server. This is especially important for db creds.
