  • Right?

    I can understand the first sequel hype, but it was kinda lame and I just dont see how people are bothering to see the next.

    After the first dune, the sequel premier in my town had a whopping total of 13 people show up to watch.

    I feel like Avengers normalized multi film continiuity, and people only feel compelled to show up like brand loyalty to a story/franchise.

    Which is dumb because most if not all of these franchise films usually have no significant input from the original talent. James Cameron literally showed up to collect a pay check and go home.

    I mean then again, people pay for FIFA and NBA2K every year so its not like it’s far fetched. But cmon, this is why these media products dont get as heavily criticized compared to genuinely superior alternatives.








  • AFAIK this has already been a problem, you can find Samsung M.2 SSDs for cheaper than Samsung SATA SSDs at the same capacity, because their cloud customers have all flown past classic SATA/SAS for NVME U.2 and U.3, which is much more similar to M.2 due to NVME.

    I was planning on adding a big SSD array to my server which has a bunch of external 2.5 SAS slots, but it ended up being cheaper and faster to buy a 4 slot M.2 PCIe card and buy 4 M.2 drives instead.

    Putting it on a x16 PCIe slot gives me 4 lanes per drive with bifurication, which gets me the advertised maximum possible speed on PCIe 4.

    Whether or not the RAM surge will affect chip production capacity is the real issue. It seems all 3 OEMs could effectively reduce capacity for all other components after slugging billions of dollars into HBM RAM. It wouldn’t just be SSDs, anything that relies on the same supply chain could be heavily affected.




  • zsh was and I think still is technically an extended superset of bash.

    It’s pretty much exactly what you’re looking for if you want bash scripting with fish features and plugin extensibility.

    The downside is you gotta take some time to set up your .zhrc and choose if you want to use a backend like oh-my-zsh.

    I think the reason its on MIT license was because it was essentially just a bunch of scripts bundled together and maintained by a wide variety of people with no intention of making it the default shell like fish or bash is.




  • I don’t know why people are freaking out over this article. It’s pretty well known that lots of animals (especially within their own class) have eggs that can be fertilized by different species. It doesn’t matter like 99.99% of the time because the resulting cell is unviable and will not develop into anything because the merged DNA is incompatible and will fail to generate into a developed organism.

    The exception to this are hybrids (like a mule), rare cases where similar enough species can actually create a viable fetus, but the resultant hybrid is usually sterile and unable to reproduce its own offspring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_(biology)

    How I sleep knowing Fedora + podman actually uses safe firewalld zones out of box instead of expecting the user to hack around with the clown show that is ufw.

    I could be wrong here but I feel like the answer is in the docs itself:

    If you are running Docker with the iptables or ip6tables options set to true, and firewalld is enabled on your system, in addition to its usual iptables or nftables rules, Docker creates a firewalld zone called docker, with target ACCEPT.

    All bridge network interfaces created by Docker (for example, docker0) are inserted into the docker zone.

    Docker also creates a forwarding policy called docker-forwarding that allows forwarding from ANY zone to the docker zone.

    Modify the zone to your security needs? Or does Docker reset the zone rules ever startup? If this is the same as podman, the docker zone should actually accept traffic from your public zone which has your physical NIC, which would mean you don’t have to do anything since public default is to DROP.


  • Someone I personally knew almost gave up on Linux because their mint install would have screen tearing issues due to an outdated driver module and kernel, since Mint follows close to Ubuntu’s kernel releases which are slow.

    Cutting edge and bleeding edge kernels is one of Linux’s biggest strengths because 99% of driver modules are in the kernel, so keeping it up to date will significantly reduce the chances of issues with your hardware, especially if its anything new.

    You dont need to know the version, but knowing that your updates are based on cutting edge latest stable is what can save you from driver headaches.



  • Do these updates not go through any rigorous testing at all

    Lol no, MSFT infamously dropped their entire Hardware QA team after WIndows 7 and instead relied on the also infamous insider hub to get QA “feedback” from home users instead, leading to the also infamous Windows 8 disaster and slightly less infamous critical CVEs that went unaddressed because MSFT ddidn’t even bother to read the insider hub posts.

    Oh and they didn’t learn anything and kept running with the insider hub well into Windows 10 & 11.
