I don’t even use swap anymore. 32gb of ram ought to be enough.
The key word to be searching for is “ungrab” mouse. here is a stackexchange on this.. On some systems ctrl-alt-/(on keypad) might work, but that is often disabled for security.
Cue “what you are calling Linux is actually” copypasta
Back when it worked, you just needed to disable the e cores in the bios.
The worst is that if the ‘wheel’ group is empty, it will give a root shell to absolutely anyone.
It’s not like any place on the internet is all that friendly once it grows more than a couple dozen people.
How do you disable machinectl entirely? [solved]
I’m mostly interested in disabling the command to create a root shell ‘machinectl shell @root’. Attempting to ‘systemctl disable systemd-machined’ doesn’t work.
Edit:
After some more poking, it seems polkit is the way to do it. Create the file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-deny-machinectl.rules and add the following
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id.startsWith("org.freedesktop.machine1.")) { return polkit.Result.NO; } });
The list of all actions you can filter on are in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.machine1.policy
I have no experience with this, but did some googling. The AMD ROCm installer instructions for Ubuntu are here. You need ROCm for HIP. That installs the entire SDK not just the runtime.
The Arch Wiki says you just need the package hip-runtime-amd. But I can’t find that package for Ubuntu.
There are also HIP installation instructions for PopOS. That’s similar to Ubuntu.
echo $(($(rdmsr -c 0xc0011029) & (1<<9) ))
Should return 512. You might need a ‘sudo’ before the rdmsr (any permission errors in any of this means it didn’t work). Unfortunately, this needs to be done every time you reboot. The next security update for linux will do this automatically.
Too bad we can’t short a private company.
It might be cool to have a good news only instance. But they’d have to defederate everyone.
According to notebookcheck, rx7600s is already 20% faster than 4050 mobile. And this is rx7700s.

Grossly exceeding norms that themselves are really excessive…
Those mad lads are doing liquid metal. Hope it works out better than with minis forum.
The only difference between prebuilt and DIY is the lack of OS, memory, and storage. The power brick is also an extra $80 for DIY (pretty good deal for a 180W charger). That makes the base prebuilt be +$200 to give you 16GB ram, 512GB ssd, and windows home. That price is good, but if you instead want 32GB and 1TB, the prebuilt price goes way up and you are better off doing DIY. Standard laptop overcharge for upgrades is in effect.
They said they are replacing it with something else. I believe more money will be directly involved.
Have you checked your subscription list lately? I’m subscribed to several communities I didn’t ask for.
At first I thought it might be that XSS vulnerability, and someone used it to force people into some communities. But then I noticed all the subs are on this instance. Maybe it is a local database error.
The subs I definitely didn’t ask for are: Teardrop…trailers, Hardstyle, Geohints, geo games, and Seventeen (lol).
TechCrunch explains what is happening with RedHat, including today’s SUSE development.
SUSE today announced that it is forking Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Here's the history of why that's happening.

Funding an instance with advertising
If your instance started showing ads, would you just leave to another instance? Do you see any way to fund the operation of an instance other than donations?

The legend of "x86 CPUs decode instructions into RISC form internally" (2020)
A dive into what x86 instruction are decoded into various processors, to determine the truth of the idea that they're just RISC-like internally.
This is an interesting examination of intel architecture history from the perspective of what micro-ops are used for a simple x86 loop and if they qualify as “RISC”.
