that’s your takeaway from this?

even flashdrives have gotten more expensive

AI doesn’t necessarily use ddr tho, they stick to HBM which is a different thing entirely.

I know a dude who has had me fix 2 separate 800$+ DACS and then listens to only YouTube music rips on his 500$ headphones through the DACS. he swears his 1300$ setup makes a difference on his 128kbps aac YouTube downloads…

that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen lol. I’d love the know how audiophiles think ssds work if they think this could actually make a difference.

dead ram definitely still happens, yes, but it’s exceedingly rare. I fix hundreds of PCs a year, and I maybe get one or two a year where the root cause is actually bad ram. more often it’s configuration issues or hardware implementation issues, for example the gigabyte x870 boards really don’t like XMP for some reason.

ecc doesn’t really have anything to do with whether a ram stick fails or not, it can help with misbehaving sticks but if a stick is dead it’s dead and ecc can’t help a dead region.

smartctl would be what your looking for even for ssds (although ssds fail quick enough that if smartctl catches something there’s a chance it’s already too late, smartd allows for scheduled tests and I’ve definitely saved data off of ssds because I had daily smart tests running that caught early failure).

I however strongly disagree with the hardware issue. there is no indication that this is hardware (honestly hardware accounts for VERY few issues like this, and RAM failing still happens but is 98% a thing of the past). diagnosing without any logs is a bit of a lost cause, we simply don’t have enough info, hopefully OP updates the post with the output of journalctl from the last boot.

my Xbox elite series 2 works a treat, just has to stay plugged in unless you wanna spend like 30$ on a dongle sold separately

musl is very cool and has very specific use cases. workstations are not one of them. you won’t be able to install drivers for gpus for example.

my grandmother was a programmer at bell in the early 60s and 70s. really curious if she had hands on any of this. wish she was still around to ask lol.

you only realize how cool your grandparents were after they’re gone.

I’m a big enjoyer of pushd and popd

so if youre in a working dir and need to go work in a different dir, you can pushd ./, cd to the new dir and do your thing, then popd to go back to the old dir without typing in the path again

my HDD with 80k power on hours is gonna have to keep kicking for now I guess

just installed it. to be honest I didn’t mind the r2modman ui but now I’ve seen the light…

thanks haha

very cool! do you know if gale supports the exporting and importing profiles as hash codes? that’s how me and my friends tend to share modpacks.

either way though I’ll check out, thanks.

I’ve used atlauncher for minecraft without issues. r2modman works perfectly via app image for a lot of steam games as well.

worst comes to worst you can manually drop files in but the tools do exist. it just depends what you’re modding

wow. that dude is a piece of work. made the mistake of clicking one of the links to his blog, and wow. there’s a stunning lack of knowledge or self respect there

they’re all containerization programs yes. I believe they differ in some minor details but thanks to the OCI standards a image built with docker will run in podman or vice versa.

distrobox is a little more feature rich for development, meant for exposing services and are interactive by default, vs dockers run and forget methodology.

podman works well, docker is a little finicky due to some systemd weirdness and the whole immutability of it all.

it mainly tries to get you to use distroboxes which are awesome. you can even install something in a distrobox and expose it to the host.

they’ll try to get bailed out but you would have to bail out so many companies it’s not feasible. you cant just bail out one of these companies. they all propped their stock value up on each other, so unless you bail out every company in the tech sector, there will still be trillions of market cap wiped out.

this is a good thing though. it will mostly only affect those who are overly invested in ultimately unprofitable tech, and the rest of us will be able to buy cheap stock for companies affected like Google and Amazon that will be hit massively but obviously are not just gonna go out of business. it’s similar to the covid drop. sucked for rich people but for the average person it wasn’t a massive issue and even had money making opportunities attached to it as these big companies scrambled.
