Rip xeon servers (they will probably be fine but still)

That sounds awesome. I never understood how a TPM can figure out if an attacker can get the keys if the tpm is on the same machine. Does it check independently the signature of the application that asked for the keys?

I am curious as per the secure enclave part. Does it mean that they will be signing binaries? Does it mean that we will get secure boot support without self signing? Does it mean that there will be a signing system for the anticheats???

Finally! Some competition with Steam OS! Hopefully only good things will come out of this!

I can reliably play wii on an x230. I am pretty sure you can go ahead and play unless it is ps2 or xbox og or anything newer (wii/gamecube excluded)

Safe to Install New Dual Boot? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] wallmenis@lemmy.one 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It should be safe, although for the future, I'd recommend installing the os to a completely separate drive and changing boot device by uefi.

I am using it for gaming on windows. I will dual boot with a different os on seperate drives. For linux, i want something stable that won't crash on wayland.

Hey this maybe a stupid question. I am considering on buying a GPU. I am in conflict between nvidia and AMD. I know AMD works better on linux in general but I am curious to follow the NVIDIA advancements as they go with the new open source kernel modules and stuff... I don't know if it is worth it to pick team green over team red. Also typically performance will be better with NVIDIA on compute and stuff like that.

P.S.

Yes, this is related to the previous post I made here.

Do I need to disable secure boot to install the nvidia drivers? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] wallmenis@lemmy.one 1 points 3 months ago

I used to do this while using windows 10 and arch on my laptop. Didnt have any issues. It is just if windows 11 might have an issue. Afaik from the above, my guess is that it just disables the checks whilst disabling secure boot.

Looks interesting. A bit scary enrolling keys because i am scared of accidentaly deleting the default ones (unless i am being unreasonable)

Suggestions for filesystem. (lemmy.one)

Hello all,

I have recently bought an external 4tb drive for backups and having an image of another 2tb drive (in case it fails). The drives are used for cold storage (backups). I would like a prefference on the filesystem i should format it. From the factory, it comes with ntfs and that is ok but i wonder if it will be better with something like ext4. Being readable directly from windows won't be necessary (although useful) since i could just temporarily turn on ssh on the linux machine (or a local vm) and start copying.

Edit: the reason for this post is also to address an issue i had while backing up to an ntfs drive on linux. I had filesystem corruptions (thankfully fixed by chkdsk on a windows machine) and I would like to avoid that in the future.

Edit2: ok I have decided I will go with ext4. Now I am making the image of the first 2tb drive. Wish me luck!

My little brother came up with this meme. A little outdated but it was a chance to show him how to make stuff like that!
