  • In a tv show? Lanfear from Wheel of Time, or probably half of the characters from game of thrones

    Real people? Probably some pretty terrible football players, actors, or politicians who look good, I don’t really track celebrities and such

  • TIL You can use `systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg` to plot the service startup time to find bottlenecks
  • As another DDR5 user, it’s not always this bad - there’s a bios setting that makes it remember the previous configuration and skips this step, but sometimes it still needs to do it, and then it can take a minute or two

  • Gaming on Linux
  • I daily drive Debian 12 on my desktop. In my massive library of steam games, I’ve yet to come across more than 3 that I haven’t been able to get to work, and the rest run remarkably better than on windows. Controller support has been more seamless than it was on windows, and I’ve gotten older games to work that never worked on windows 10. I’m not sure what experience you’re basing this on, maybe Optimus has some issues for laptops, but every desktop I’ve built in the last ~4 years has worked fine (and with nvidia GPUs, too)

  • I’m NOT excited about coding by AI [venting]
  • I agree with you - I think my main issue is that using LLMs to write code is a crutch, and over time the quality of software will decrease because it will be made by a program perfected to generate the most likely next word, rather than understanding what it’s doing. If anything, having a basic understanding of LLMs makes me trust them less.

  • AMD CPU Use Among Linux Gamers Approaching 70% Marketshare
  • As a Linux gamer with a Ryzen cpu, I think it’s likely just a correlation of people who are more tech-oriented, as windows and intel are essentially the “default” options for most computers you can buy, and the same (mostly) enthusiast circles that use Linux overlap heavily with those who build their own computers and may be more informed about hardware options, and how Ryzen has been beating Intel on price/performance essentially since launch

  • Invade Russia Rule
  • 232,000 untrained cannon fodder infantry vs. 25,000 professional mercenaries. I’m no fan of Wagner, but I’m sure they’re at least somewhat more experienced than a bunch of random civilians, although I see your point. I remember actually a decent number of people volunteering to go to Ukraine at the start of the war to assist on their side though (presumably people with military background), which is similar in concept - I wonder how that worked out, I never really heard any more about it.

  • Its Time to Subsidize E-bikes
  • Well, in the US at least, the federal speed limit for an e-bike powered solely by its motor is 20mph, so to get past that would require at least some effort on the part of the rider - although I agree that’s still way too fast for sidewalks. I think maybe the first step then would be to improve the infrastructure for bike lanes; I use an e-bike to get to work when the weather is nice enough, and aside from that the single biggest deterrent to that is because several times I’ve almost been driven off the road by cars. Dedicated bike lanes with proper separation should reduce the amount of people biking on sidewalks, but of course there will always be someone doing things they aren’t supposed to.

  • Ethics Teams in Tech Are Stymied by Lack of Support
  • Of course, it makes perfect sense… they want the good publicity of saying they have ethics oversight, but don’t actually give them authority because it would prevent them from doing what they want to do (and know might be unethical)

  • [Help] How can I use a VPS to protect my home's ip?
  • At the basic level, you could do a reverse ssh tunnel to forward the port from your home server to the VPS, although there’s some efficiency issues doing this iirc, and you’ve got the issue of it failing if the tunnel ever breaks
