Nice to see the US government still supporting EVs these days.
I still think that EV rebates and tax credits would be more cost efficient and much less jarring than provoking Iran into destroying 20% of the world’s oil supply… but I guess that I am too simple-minded for politics.
The war ends when Israel decides it is over since they clearly own our government, financial sector, our tech overlords and soon most of our news outlets. Considering that they’ve been at war with their neighbors for over 50 years I would not hold my breath.
We need improved Linux support for power management on ARM platforms. In general Linux on ARM has been good for a long time now. (ex RaspberryPi, Gentoo, Ubuntu)
Where things aren’t so great is the choice in OEMs putting out ARM parts like Broadcom, Qualcomm and Apple. All of whom aren’t exactly open source champions. In a less imperfect world we’d have something like RISC-V with great power management and linux support available in mobile computing SKUs/TDPs.
Thanks for noticing that. I certainly missed the ‘=1’ bit.
Debian testing, then upgrade it as they make major releases. I have yet to have a single Debian upgrade go wrong on Desktop or Server. It is basically magic.
Assuming that:
On the Linux laptop:
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 ## updated edit thanks to folks pointing out my typo.
sudo sysctl -p

On the mac:
Endorphins, better blood oxygen capacity, much better sleep, eventually better stamina in everyday life … all very tangible benefits of daily exercise. You don’t need a gym or equipment either. Running, walking, burpees, crunches, push-ups, maybe a pull-up bar can take you pretty far on their own.
None of this will directly fix all of your problems but it can better equip you to deal with stuff. A diet that is mostly fruits and veggies helps a ton too but that’s a whole other discussion.
The focus appears to be entirely on tariffs which have solely been a tool for Trump to extort various countries, they don’t seem to really stick around or stay very high for very long.
I have not heard the Feds say a word about the AI-bubble’s affects on the economy. Ignoring the great sucking effect that it has had on private and public capital as a whole, the RAM/storage price situation is going to show up in pretty much everything that needs a computer and I don’t see anyone at the Fed factoring that in. It will(and already has) hit everything from consumer PC/gaming/TV/SmartPhones but also Cloud providers, Automotive, Infrastructure technology. Remember that it is not just those who want to replace or upgrade old tech(these could wait in theory) but also applies to repairs for things that can’t wait.
If you cut rates now or too soon, asset(house) prices will sky rocket due to private capital (smart money) fleeing the AI-bubble and rushing into housing. Then you will have a situation that is somehow worse than the present.
I don’t really think that rate cuts will do anything to address AI-layoffs, offshoring of hundreds of thousands of good paying tech jobs and manufacturing jobs, or labor jobs that immigrants(illegal and ‘legal’ ones) have taken from the natives. We need sweeping policy reform to bring all of that work back. It will push wages up(and hopefully margins down) and least begin the process of undoing decades of wage dilution and price distortions.
The Colorado River will soon be the Colorado Ditch.
If you have ever spent any significant amount of time in Louisiana you’d understand why they might be running out of room in the current amount of prisons.
If you haven’t, sort by homicide.
Well … are you a fish? If so, no… if not, yes.
I sincerly hope that this is a troll post because if not, well. Sigh.
The logistics accolade that you mention here is wartime logistics. That is ability to get the bullets and bandages to the places and people that need them all in a timely manner. The US is good at this because we have bases and transport logistics everywhere.
Military supply chain logistics(multiple sources for stuff, supposedly US companies…) is absolutely a consideration as well but this concept has been hallowed out over time. What used to be locally sourced materials and manufacturing by American companies is now much more dependent on overseas labor/materials. These ‘American’ companies might have corporate offices here and the c-levels, marketing/sales teams live here but all of the actual product is sourced/made in Mexico, Canada, China, India, Vietnam, etc. There are definitely specific industries like aerospace that still make a lot of stuff here but that is a small fraction of the larger whole.
We’ve already been providing direct subsidies and tax subsidies for all of these companies for decades. Nothing comes from it and as a member of the tax bracket that actually pays taxes I am not willing to keep doing it. If we need to nationalize truly mission critical companies I would rather just do that instead of continuing to privatize profits and socialize costs.
Ignore the idiot posting about this RAT.
If you want to secure your Linux system, use ClamAV, a local firewall like UFW or even opensnitch for a start. Also use your head when adding apps to your system. Stick to the official repos from your distro. Things like Arch’s AUR, random PPAs in Ubuntu and any random github project are going to be much riskier by their very nature so act accordingly.
If you need to risky stuff, do it a VM and network that guest into a private internal network that can only exit over a companion PFSense VM that is dual homed to the regular LAN and the private internal network. Take a snapshot of the risky guest before you use it in a session and when you are done, roll back to your clean snapshot.
Store your passwords in something like Keepass(strong master password!) and then use syncthing to push copies of the database to at least one other box locally or in the cloud if you really have to.
Everyone seems to have thought that is was a great idea to let pretty much every core manufacturing competency die in the US over the last 30 years or so. How’s that working out for us now?
The blame is at least as old as Reagan, really accelerated with Clinton (NAFTA, China entering the WTO) and only got worse from there.
As much as I hate to admit it, tariffs are the answer. I also think that it’s important to understand that Trump’s tariffs exist only for extortion and bribes that benefit him personally. Tariffs can be used to encourage domestic production of goods and services that are clearly not something that we want to depend on other countries for merely for the sake of enriching the same circle of already rich assholes in perpetuity. Rich assholes would just have to keep resorting to pumping up immigration to suppress wages for these domestic goods, like they have always done for hundreds of years at this point.
Some upgrades require human input like when core service config files upgrades are offered. (ex. would like to update /etc/samba/smb.conf with the maintainer’s version or keep your own?)
In my experience this can occasionally cause background apt processes to hang while they wait for your answer to that kind of question. There is a debconf trick you can try. debian_frontend=noninteractive. You can create your own cronjob, as root, that runs a script with this export command, apt update, then apt dist-upgrade -y.
If your machine is a Tuxedo laptop, this thread might interest you. Seems as though this user was hitting thermal limits and their laptop would freeze/poweroff to keep from dying.
Run your workload in a guest VM and limit its resources to whatever you desire. You can also consider c-groups if you already know which processes are causing all of the trouble.
Run XFCE and use Thunar. : )
