NVIDIA Transitions Fully Towards Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules. Keep in mind that the drivers are still proprietary.
  • I have a RTX 4060ti. What does this mean to me, when running Debian desktop OS? Is the driver no longer "BLOB" limited? Can we see full code at github?

    (Don't get me wrong, I can compile kernels and code. I just don't understand the nuances of all these licenses. My eyes literally glaze over when people start talking about licensing, I know the flat OSS licenses but "dual GPL/MIT"? I'm falling asleep asking this!

  • Is there a better way to browse man pages?
  • https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/

    There are many variations also available online.

  • Why is flathub saying Floorp is proprietary
  • You can try Waterfox, its also a firefox based browser focused on privacy, if you cannot definitively determine the license.

  • Too powerful for their Euro arteries
  • We could only hope it kills more dumb americans....

  • Fork of HomeBox released (v0.11.0)
  • 31 branches? uh.. okay.

  • “Systemd is the future”
  • So can you remove this file: /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/home.conf and then the command will operate as expected? Then you can put the file back in place (assuming you are going to add additional users to the OS)?

    If that works, and its a server with probably only 1 user, then remove home.conf and be done with it.

    Granted, systemd-tmpfiles should not be creating NON TMP directories and files. There should be a mechanism that is something like systemd-usrfiles which essentially does the same thing but operates out of /usr/lib/usrfiles.d/home.conf. I don't know how deep it goes but there should maybe also be a /usr/lib/sysfiles.d/ directory if it goes that far (or can potentially go that far).

  • I hate this guy with a passion. He is not intelligent, but hell he sure likes to speak down to you like his shit doesn't stink.

    Speaking of dishwashers, this is the last thing you should be listening about from him, given the shitshow of a video he made which even had Bosch and other manufacturers contact him and tell him how incorrect he was.

  • Apple refused to pay bounty to Kaspersky for uncovering vulnerability in 'Operation Triangulation' - 9to5Mac
  • This is not really a story, is it.

    I worked for an Australian company, that was bought by an American company. Instantly we were required to do business as per American law, such as embargo's. We lost many customers (businesses) that honestly had nothing to do with the actual reason for the embargos. For example Iran has an American embargo because of nuclear refinement, but we just wanted to sell "knives and forks" to them. Nope - they might use those forks in their refinement centrifuges... This is what happens (but also why embargos work).

    Kaspersky is Russian owned, so the hacks were discovered by Russian [whitehat] hackers. I'll bet that Apple had no ability to do "business" with the company, even if it wanted to, since Russia is currently under embargo due to the Ukraine conflict.

    Now if Kaspersky spent time undermining it's own failure of a government, and putting an end to its dictatorship, things would probably work out better for everyone in Russia.

    (Joke aside, ChatGPT doesn't sound like Scarlett at all).

    A way of getting users to join here as well?

    This is an open ended question, it seems we need to encourage people to join here as well as being on their preferred platform (which is not ours to discourage or be derogatory about).

    I still frequent the "that site" because I want to help - but honestly I dont want to help "that site". Not that I am really doing so.

    However, it feels weird if I do have to say "we are also on fede.. blah blah" and lets be honest about this -- its less support, but by more knowledgeable people (??probably I believe so).

    How do we get them (and lets face it, Franco) over here to support OSS.

    I know Franco has paid subscriptions but opnsense is OSS, the community is more than happy to help out if it is not paywalled.
