Wot I think...
...Is that doesn't matter in the end. X.org, Wayland, whatever. If you still need to run JavaScript, Java, or C# code you and yours are Fuxxord.

...I have used it for nearly ten years with only software updates. It hosts some VM's, one read only NFS share, and has a few CPU's crunching numbers for LHC@home. Running du /etc/ as root shows me that it is using 13040 kilobytes. 13mb of text files for to configure a simple home server. Plain text. Linux, *bsd, Illumos, these things may seem obscure but they are not hard because you don't have to (and absolutely should not) touch 99% of what is in /etc for your server to work. Sane defaults, anyone?
...and this is why real security oriented people would never put a back door in an encryption algorithm. It is a good thing that that these models expose their own weaknesses. Now we just good and easily accessible documentation about it to make things better.
I think any guardrails on AI models are like guardrails on a baby's crib. These models are so immature they need things like diapers and pacifiers. If people keep being honest about the limitations of the models maybe some day someone can invent "Training Wheels."
...I mean really! They are quoted as saying “As these actions are implemented, it is essential to bring industry and stakeholders to the table to help the government reach its desired result, limit unintended consequences, and develop a holistic and successful trade policy approach,”
As if they are blind to the fact that the desired result is the dismantling of Democracy in the Western Hemisphere. We The People have forgotten the past and We will pay the price for it.
I am sorry you disagree so strongly, but I'll stand by opinion that for simple shares using NFS on Linux ZFS is overly complicated and makes life harder if you ever want to switch distos or recover a system. You are right, fsck should not be used with btrfs. In fact btrfs even comes with it's own scrub command, just like ZFS. Does ZFS have place? Yes. Is that place a home user storing game files on a NAS? I don't think so.
As for losing your data to btrfs I have never lost anything to it in over eight years of use. Sorry it happened to you.
I wouldn't try it because it will turn into a PITA down the road. If you want a RAID use a simple mdadm, LVM, or btrfs setup with NFS. I actually have my Steam Library hosted on btrfs with LVM at home but I am not using a Steam Deck. However any *nix and Pro versions of Win10 and Win11 can mount NFS shares.
NFS is simple to set up even though it has little built insecurity. It just works by default. It is well documented, robust, and stable.
You will have to spend more time researching and deploying the storage system then the NFS share.
...I just installed a key logger and set the first cron job to make a screen capture to every 5 seconds, made sure the time stamps were correctly synced, fed all the data into koboldcpp with a 'simple' bash pipe chain, and finally set a second cron job to upload the results to Microsoft every hour. I was not impressed.
Wait a sec. If you are confident enough to post it, why aren't you posting under a confirmed account name? Why the AC? Are you that insecure about who you are? I live in a country where even a gay man can walk down the street with PRIDE so I put little stock in the mutterings of Anonymous Cowards.
...using misinformation to sway voters. You can't use it to get a bank loan, or to drive up the price of a stock. You can't sell a product based on misinformation in its advertising, I.E. snake oil, but you can still sell snake oil legally today if you follow the Rules of Law. When it comes to voting, snake oil is what keeps the U.S. political machine running these days.
My GPU can multitask very well indeed. If you believe the hype around AI and GenAI then you have to believe that any hardware that claims to be an AI accelerator will be good at multitasking because AI will be used for everything if the hype is true. On the other hand, how much L2/L3 cache do the NPUs need vs how much do they get?
...Wait, that doesn't make any sense. Look at what these two idiot have created because they want to "help us." Shame on them for seeking glory early and not completing the scientific process in order to find a way to stop it from working. If only Lou Reed were still with us to write a rock anti-anthem that would put them in their place.
Also: Thumbs Down to you too! Just because you can never means you should.
...If Epic Games wanted to expand it's market share instead of making money through litigation they would have native support for Linux, SmackOS, and any other OS you can think of. They do have any such support. In My Not So Humble Opinion they are looking for a settle agreement with concessions.
...but the truth is you can't take anything AT&T or Broadcom say at face value. To document the history or either companies deceptions would take an untold amount of work hours. Quite easily years of effort. Their histories speak for themselves. The sad thing is that it will be cheaper for both of them to let a judge decide the case.
...Party has got to be less expensive and less trouble than actually making their software secure. In the short term anyway. Sooner or later people will realize that having all of their eggs in Microsoft's basket is the best way to get screwed. Don't get me wrong. My windows install is there in lonely little VM. Once a month is boots up, installs updates, then shuts down again. It there just in case I need it. Otherwise I stick with my FLOSS software because at least I can trust it to get updates and be open with world about security.
...and it's getting pretty old. Now if I could get a RISC-V box with enough threads, PCIe lanes, and 10Gbs NICs for my storage server that would be another story. I would pay actual money for that. As it is Tenstorrent will only see my cash if I am a customer of their customer's customer.
...Is the future. Someday all workloads will be optimized on the fly for the platform on which they are running. We are not there yet. True benchmarks shouldn't be optimized at all in this day and age. Not for a GPU, CPU, OS, or anything else. This is the only way to be fair. However brands want their names in lights so we will see things like this from time to time.
This is just an iteration in the evolution of both software and hardware. In the future the most successful software will be that which can self optimize to the largest number of hardware stacks.
...But it became another chore because Mr. Robbins did not commit to keeping things stable. Features were introduced and a while later removed, the "Wolf Pack Philosophy" was a bad social experiment, and I had bug reports that languished for years. Literally years. The distro was fickle because the leadership was fickle. I don't miss it to be honest. I miss what it might have been.
In the end I think the only thing that made Funtoo superior to Gentoo was the use of the Debian kernel to make installing and maintenance easier. Even that had problems though because you can have kernel level support for a feature but with out up to date user space utilities it doesn't mean much. RIP Funtoo and what it what it could have been.
