It doesn’t say anything about performance. But they now support Vulkan with Nouveau, so it can now be used even if OpenGL is not available or broken.

The blog post only me tioned that the driver now supports the GPUs, which I think should be believable, as the GPUs are listed as conformant on Khronos’ website.

If you have had problems with a Wayland compositor when using Nouveau with one of the cards, it is possible that it might work now, if the compositor supports Vulkan.

Vulkan is normally faster than OpenGL, but I don’t know much about the state of NVK & Nouveau’s OpenGL driver for the cards. I just know the API versions they support and that NVK cannot reclock them if Nouveau can’t, so I can’t say anything about performance.

I haven’t used nextcloud, but having /var on an actual disk might help, if nextcloud writes to it often. Even if it doesn’t, it might still help a bit as a lot of software does, so it will still reduce the writes to the SD card.

You don’t actually need much on your root partition. Only /etc, /bin, /lib & if it’s separate, /sbin. Most distributions (inc. recent Debians, not sure which version rpi os uses) have symlinked /bin, /sbin & /lib with their /usr counterparts. This means that the binaries & libraries actually reside under /usr, so it has to be on the root partition, but /usr/local should be safe to move.

This means that you can put all the absolutely required directories on the SD card and everything else on a real drive.

So long as /home isn’t noexec.

But at the same time, Andrew Jackson is dead. So we aren’t really bound to logistics here. It’s the opposite. He’s dead, so logistics becomes even more important. Do you know how difficult it is to transport corpses long distances legally?

Why would it lower the price? Don’t ads only exist to generate a bit of extra revenue?

They should all work, though I have no idea how quickly. Khronos lists the GeForce 800, 900, GTX 700, GTX 900, GTX 1000 & TITAN V series GPUs as Vulkan 1.4 conformant with the driver.

Didn’t know it could be used like that. There are many Mario Kart games, like Double Dash and then the less important ones.

Double Dash?

Trying to fetch the package file returns 404, because old packages aren’t retained forever. I’m not sure if they’re kept around at all, or deleted the moment a new version is fetched, but so long as you update the sync db, (run pacman -Sy) you have nothing to worry about in that regard.

“There was no Tariff ‘exception’, Trump said in a social media post on Sunday. “These products are subject to the existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff ‘bucket.’”

Sounds like something from The Onion.

It would be for the best if public transport were good enough everywhere that you wouldn’t have to drive a vehicle with alcohol in your system.

If someone couldn’t pass a driving test, they shouldn’t be driving. This should apply to everyone, elderly or not. It’s just that elderly people are less likely to be in as good of a condition as when they got their license for the first time.

I agree, and it could work like that here. (your driver’s license is only valid for a certain time) But as far as I know, you only need to retake the tests when applying for renewal if your license expired multiple years ago. Otherwise, you only have to fill out some forms.

At least old people & those who’ve had their license taken away need to redo their tests, which is better than nothing, but not enough in my opinion.

It’s not reasonable to assume that everyone has that much control in any situation. Removing yourself from a situation is not always possible. What can you do if it’s caused by your environment, like family, school, etc.?

Life does have challenges & there always exists someone who can be miserable in a given situation. That doesn’t mean that everything should be normal.

You can definitely affect some things & you might be able to choose how you see some other things. Still, some things are outside your control or “as they should be”.

Can confirm.

He was a murderer, but that doesn’t make the death penalty any less inhumane.

Edit: humane -> inhumane

In proof of work, the client performs (relatively) slow & expensive calculations to prove that it’s not spam. If you tried to make too many connections, the work would add up, preventing you from affecting the availability of the service.

For PoW to work, the server needs to generate a challenge, then the client needs to solve it and return the answer. JavaScript can do this without any input from the user.

For JavaScriptless PoW, you need to find a way to perform those slow calculations without access to a programming language.

Like I said in my previous comment, solving the challenge can happen outside of the page, after which the user could paste the answer to a normal HTML form, for example. This allows PoW to work without JS, but requires user interaction & eternal tools.

I don’t know about Dread, but Tor has built-in PoW now. Since Tor runs outside of the document/tab, unlike JS, it can do a lot more. Tor’s PoW happens invisibly between the network request & response, making it unobtrusive & bypassing JS entirely.

It might be pretty difficult to implement the work part of proof of work without JS in a practical way. Of the three languages available on the web, HTML, CSS & JS (+ WebAssembly, which requires a bit of JS IIRC & would probably not be available) JS is the only one that allows you to perform the work in a sane way. (It might be possible to use CSS magic with remote resources, but that has its own problems if it’s even possible.)

It would be possible to use a dedicated program or another website to perform the work, but it would be far from seamless to users.

The Linux kernel is licensed under GPLv2, not v3. The third version of the license forbids tivoization (vendoring unmodifiable copyleft software). Also, the GNU coreutils aren’t limited to Linux.

Unlike the other alternative coreutils, uutils focuses on GNU compatibility. If you depend on GNUisms, uutils allow you to unGNU & unGPLv3+ your system.
