What happened to my computers being reliable, predictable, idempotent ? :'(

jyte ,

Technically they still are, but since you don’t have a hand on the seed, practically they are not.

jyte ,

You are taking all my words way too strictly as to what I intended :)

It was more along the line : Me, a computer user, up until now, I could (more or less) expect the tool (software/website) I use in a relative consistant maner (be it reproducing a crash following some actions). Doing the same thing twice would (mostly) get me the same result/behaviour. For instance, an Excel feature applied on a given data should behave the same next time I show it to a friend. Or I found a result on Google by typing a given query, I hopefully will find that website again easily enough with that same query (even though it might have ranked up or down a little).

It’s not strictly “reliable, predictable, idempotent”, but consistent enough that people (users) will say it is.

But with those tools (ie: chatGPT), you get an answer, but are unable to get back that initial answer with the same initial query, and it basically makes it impossible to get that same* output because you have no hand on the seed.

The random generator is a bit streached, you expect it to be different, it’s by design. As a user, you expect the LLM to give you the correct answer, but it’s actually never the same* answer.

*and here I mean same as “it might be worded differently, but the meaning is close to similar as previous answer”. Just like if you ask a question twice to someone, he won’t use the exact same wording, but will essentially says the same thing. Which is something those tools (or rather “end users services”) do not give me. Which is what I wanted to point out in much fewer words :)

Give Vesktop a try. It’s a clone of discord and they say they support wayland for streaming just fine. It works fine but I haven’t tried the wayland streaming thing yet.

jyte ,

see my other comment

jyte ,

No idea what krysp is, but audio is flawless in my case. Granted, only really used on x11 so far. I use vesktop flatpak on debian sid.

Ubuntu is a fork of unstable Debian packages

And where do you think debian stable packages come from exactly ?..

it’s basicaly the exact same thing. In both case :

  • At some point freeze unstable (snapshot unstable in case of ubuntu),
  • fix bugs found in the frozen set of packages,
  • release as stable.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

  • apt something that ended up removing sudo. No more admin rights.
  • used rsync to backup pretty much everything in / , with remove source option…
  • find with -delete option miss positioned. It deleted stuff before finding matching pattern
  • chown / chmod on /bin and/or /usr/bin
  • Removed everything in /etc
jyte ,

It doesn’t work with root disabled.

The way to fix this is to boot in bash recovery where you land a root shell. From there you can hopefully apt install sudo if deb file is still in cache. If not, you have to make network function without systemd for apt install to work. Or, you can get sudo deb file and all missing dependencies from usb stick and apt install them from fs. Or just enable root, give it a password and reboot so you can su - and apt install sudo

jyte ,

I tried to convert Debian to Ubuntu by replacing the Debian repos in apt with Ubuntu’s and following with dist-upgrade

Shouldn’t it work though ? Or be close to work with the appropriate options passed down to dpkg

jyte , (edited )

Not if root account is disabled. Which is by default on Ubuntu and Debian . You’d need sudo su - but well… No sudo left you know.

jyte ,

If I make sure to leave at peak commute time I’m pretty I can do that just for Paris-Marseille.

Wait just about 100 days and you can make it Paris - Paris.

rumors

You can remove that word, rly.

Holly shit, after looking things up it’s even worse than I thought…

Playing Valorant will need to enable TPM 2.0 and secure boot under windows 11 OS, you have to check that your motherboard is support TPM 2.0 system. (NOTE: If your system unable to support TPM2. 0, the only way that you can play Valorant is change your windows to older version as windows 10.)

Damn, Riot effectively turning PC into console…

jyte ,

Usually Linux has at least comparable framerates to Windows, if not faster.

CS2 beg to differ.

jyte , (edited )

On a side note, it’s systemd, no damn uppercase D at the end.

jyte ,

Also I’ve read that C# is C++++ (like put those + on 2x2 table, which in turns ressemble a #)

jyte ,

Here is why :)

It’s a she, because that’s a woman job. Same goes for dish washer !

Also, there are a few words that even french (most of them) would have the gender wrong…

jyte ,

Un lave linge, une machine à laver le linge, un lave vaisselle, une machine à laver la vaisselle. It actually all depend on they way you phrase it. Agreed though. It was mostly for the joke.

jyte , (edited )

Because “people” (my french self included) would just say (most of the time) “la machine à laver” (or even shorter : la machine) and out of context, you’d figure out which of the 2 is actually talked about.

Also, as “machine à laver” litterally translate to “washing machine”, it didn’t even occure to me that it had to be understood as laundry machine, hence why I initially said it was a “she”.

jyte ,

whatever works for you, but what will you comme up with for “un avion” ? :)

jyte ,

Except that games are broken at release and need day1 patch in order to work. Although you will ship BD, the day update servers are taken down, your physical copy won’t allow you to play the game either.

The only question I have is : Is torrenting game patchs / updates concidered piracy as well ? If it is, we are definitely doomed.

jyte ,

isn’t that kind of what AUR is, and exactly what people love about arch ?

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...

jyte ,

Snap forces updates, and you cannot disable them. So if you use snaps, I guess you can stop worrying and keep going with your usual apt routine.

jyte ,

if you do not provide a root password during install, the default user is in sudoer.

GPU VRAM Overclocking Possible with Linux Kernel 6.4

I upgraded from Debian Bookworm (Stable), which has kernel 6.1, to Debian Trixie (Testing), which has kernel 6.4. Until then, I couldn’t overclock my GPU’s VRAM beyond 1750 MHz. With kernel 6.4, I can overclock it as far as AMD will allow - 1860 MHz. If my 5600 XT hadn’t been locked down by AMD, I’d be able to go further...

jyte ,

it’s in debian sid, and hell, this program is so cool. thx !
