@prole @mactan Whom are you addressing?

[–] nanook@friendica.eskimo.com 1 points 9 hours ago

@mactan @drosophila Problem I run into is most of the games I play have a rootkit anti-cheat and that does not work with wine. So I'm forced to do a virtual machine with virtual gpu pass-through. Big pain in the ass to setup and Ubuntu pretty regularly breaks it with various "upgrades".

@wildbus8979 @Mwa MacOS was Unix based after Steve Jobs created the Mach/Unix/Mac Finder stack for use on the Next computer, as soon as he returned to Apple, it was adopted there.

@Mwa @wildbus8979 Yes, early on there was AT&T and Berkley, System-V became AT&T's mainstream though there were off-shoots like CB-Unix for PDP11/70's which only had 64k I+D space, and Berkeley had 4.2 and 4.3BSD, and now you have offshoots of those, such as FreeBSD and NETBSD, MacOS is a highly mutilated BSD sitting atop a Mach micro-kernel with the Mac finder sitting on top of the whole mess. The Mach microkernel provides a layer of hardware abstraction that makes it easy to jump between architectures as Mac has often done. What I do not like about MacOS is that they include only drivers necessary for their hardware and forbid the use on Non-Mac's by license. This limits your selection of things like video cards to those they specifically chose to use.

@possiblylinux127 It was a very high powered CPU, i9-10980xe, overclocked for all I could get out of it. At max load, it drew around 540 watts. Supplies were rated at 1kw but both short lived, the Seasonic I replaced them with is 1200 watts, also even cables are better quality, previous supplies cables were 16 guage but those that came with Seasonic, 12 guage.

PSU definitely matters, I went initially with a ThermalTake, it failed after a couple of months, then a Gigabyte, same thing, now I'm running a Seasonic and finally appear to be stable.

@data1701d It will work fine with Debian Bookworm, not sure about older releases, I don't know at what point they switched to systemd controlling that but definitely does work in Bookworm. It should work in most other modern Debian or Ubuntu derived systems as well, but not older versions as systemd taking over this functionality is relatively recent.

Perhaps it's because people under 30 have no sense of responsibility so don't really care to communicate much with peers. They don't have the means to bring systems like this online. They don't have the historical perspective to take part in intelligent conversation, so they have Twitter and Facebook.

@data1701d @evasync You don't have to reboot to effect that, systemdctl daemon-reload will reload the /etc/fstab file.

@nate Thanks but no. Pubcrawl is the ActivityPub protocol, I've got that and it talks to Friendica fine. What I am looking for is the plugin to talk to ATproto used by Bluesky.

@Markaos Well I have a dual boot system, Linux / Windows 10, and have for decades, other versions of Windows but dual boot none-the less. The old days before grub used to chain-load from the windows boot-loader (ick) but over those years I've probably had to reload windows owing to malware I could not excise at least once a year. I've never had to do this, ever, with Linux.
