When I shutdown my computer last night, it gave me this error message. It seems to be working fine but should I be considered? (sopuli.xyz)
I’m not sure what fixed it because I tried multiple things yesterday, but it shutdown normally last night.
Llama2 70B (offline AI) Says stuff about the CPU scheduler Cores and ISA and I don't know how else to verify (is CPU core ISA determined by microcode and how to hack)
This is my favorite LLM so far. It is the largest I have managed to get working. It seems to be around 90-95% accurate when I test it on technical stuff where I know the answers. I do not know a way to verify the following. I have the standard CS books on operating systems, but this seems too specific and recent. The following...

Cannot mount smb shared drive from the router on my Pop!_OS system. Can someone give me some assistance?
Edit: I have added the share name at the end of the IP address and now I’m getting mount error(115): Operation now in progress. I haven’t figured this one out yet either. My computer IP and the network drive IP are on the same network and within range. Both should be using the same gateway and DHCP....

Some recent experiences with KDE Wayland on a NVIDIA 3070TI
I’ve dipped my toes into the Wayland waters a few times of the past years, and I’ve always been immediately impressed and jealous of the buttery smooth performance, only to come crashing down to Earth with the severe showstoppers and bugs when using a NVIDIA based card....
Any way to flatpak your way to MS's AVD client?
Hi guys! So, I’m rather happy that the github guide to build your own flatpak for the Citrix Workspace client allowed me to have a completely compact package that doesn’t require a crapton of external libraries having access to anywhere in your root system. I love that I no longer need a full VM to achieve this (as I...
btrfs and nvme
So, recently, I bought an nvme ssd to replace the very old ssd I have on my laptop. I don’t know what the non-nvme is called. It shows as “sda” on the system. Anyway, doubled the storage. The new drive is an nvme WD black SN770. I have the same one running just fine on an optiplex dell mini running endeavourOS. Zero...
Assuming that (non-free) GPU drivers perform telemetry, can the GPU surreptitiously access the network (internet) to send the collected data? (www.extremetech.com)

Why if we see fork, snap always the problem : Canonical LXD forked... (news.ycombinator.com)
“Canonical only having snap releases was harmful to adoption. I liked using lxd, but uninstalled snapd (forgetting lxd used it), and my vms obviously stopped. Snap wouldn’t reinstall properly (various inscrutable errors), so I moved it all over to libvirt. I’d still be happily using lxd if it weren’t for Canonical’s...
