If too many people do this, you bet "smart" TV peddlers will start bundling cellular modems on their devices, so they can connect directly to their servers without relying on your WiFi, just like car companies do. Blocking this would require enclosing the TV in a Faraday cage.

Taiwan, not PRC. Mainland China isn't capable of making CPUs and GPUs whith the performance and low power draw needed for a portable console in the volumes necessary. They brute-forced their way into a 7nm process, but it's expensive and low yields, so they're using it only for crypto mining ASICs and Huawei phones.

To make a console like the Steam Deck, they would need an AMD64 chip on 5nm. Granted, Zhaoxin does have a licence for X86 architecture (inherited from Via, who got it when they bought Cirix), but they're still far from being able to make those in 7 or 5nm.

Meanwhile, TSMC in Taiwain is already shipping 3nm chips for Apple and soon for AMD too.

Unless China figures out Extreme UV, like in the ASML machines, or direct stamping, like in recently announced Canon machines, they won't be competitive with Intel, TSMC or Samsung anytime soon.

Fuck it ! I'm buying the game again. I have it on GOG and Google Play Store and now I'm buying it on Steam too, for no other reason than reward ConcernedApe for his amazing work.

I use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.

Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.

Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).

One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.

Which means several years of development ahead to have working silicon, and that would mean AMD64 v1, which Windows and many libraries/application in Linux doesn't support anymore.

In Debian Unstable, for example, ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 reports that it only supports v2, v3 and v4. v3 architecture , so CPUs from Buldozer/Nehalen generation or later. That version of the architecture will still be protected for a few more years.

Since both Intel and AMD are competitors on both CPU and GPU markets, Nvidia's only option is Zhaoxin, a joint venture between Via Technologies (who has a license for box X86 and AMD64) and Shanghai municipality.

Failing that, they would have to go with ARM and emulation, which would come with a performance penalty, or separate CPU and GPU chips, which would make the devices bigger and less power efficient than competing models with APUs.

In conclusion, don't hold your breath. This talk about Nvidia handheld PCs is just to appease their shareholders and create FUD on AMD and Intel ones.

Shift+Ins was the default paste on Windows 3.0, before Apple sued Microsoft for copying their OS (back in then it was still called just "System"), so MS added Ctrl+C for Windows 3.1, but the old one still work.

Same thing for Xorg. Ctrl+Ins for copy, Ctrl+Del for paste and Ctrl+Ins for paste.

I could say the same about Microsoft.

That might be true inside Russia, but not in the rest of the world. F5 could sue in the US and force the registrar responsible for the .org TLD to hand the domain to them.

In his place, I would chosen something related but different enough to avoid trademark infringement, like "Freeginx". IANAL, but I believe sometimes all it takes is one letter to keep lawyers away.

Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.

[–] Anarch157a@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding

No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,

For my private repos, hosted on my home server, I moved from Gitlab to Forgejo (Git, artifacts and containers images) and Woodpecker for CI builds. Woodpecker is not as powerful and feature complete as Gitlab, but for simpler needs it gets the job done.

 

Due to difficulties I had installing Piped, an alternative frontend for Youtube, I decided to improve and document the process in a better way. In the end, I pretty much redid the whole thing, leaving almost no stone un-turned. You can test my installer from my repo and post any comments and doubts here.

 

Today I decided to install SearxNG, just to for $h1ts and giggles, and to avoid a little bit of tracking by those creeps at Google and Bing.

I started wit a clean Debian 12 LXC container on my Proxmox server and used the installation script route. I just needed to:

  • Create a non-root user . DO NOT call this user searxng, this is the user the install script creates for you, if it already exists, the script will fail
  • Add this user to the the sudo group
  • Install sudo, git and curl
  • Clone the install repo
  • Run the install script
  • Run the nginx setup script

That's it. The search page will be available in http:///searxng

Have you tried FreshRSS for feeds ? I'm pretty happy with it.
