From what I've read 1e100.net belongs to Google, so yea it's a virus.

@NOOBMASTER @Artemis_Mystique So google can make money.

I have several machines with Nvidia GPUs, they are all working fine, one thing I like about Intel internal graphics that you can't do with Nvidia is to use pass
through of virtual GPU's to get OS's in kvm-qemu virtual machines, giving the ability to play Windows video games in a virtual machine with usable performance.

They sure are huge on my system and spread their shit over half the file systems. Firefux is a complete disaster now that it is flatpack.

What it means is that you're getting the libs the program uses with the program instead of using the system libs, this defeats the whole point of shared memory and wastes RAM, it is inefficient but saves them from having to compile for each distro, still, the system loader has to resolve and load these making loading slower, if they had to include the libs, a better way to do it is to simply compile the binary as a static binary with all the libs compiled in, at least that way it saves the loader overhead.

@sxan @beta_tester EXACTLY, I am glad SOMEBODY gets it.

I'd fire up my portable Geiger counter and see if it's hot enough to worry about or not.

nanook ,

@interolivary No. I mean hot enough to be dangerous in terms of radiation.

What I loved about these remotes is you could take out a set of car keys and shake them and watch the channel changer go berserk.

nanook ,

That's TOO Funny!

There isn't a distro that doesn't support Xen because it's built into the kernel, and I've built virtual machines on Xen and Qemu-KVM, compared their performance and found the differences minute at best but Qemu-KVM is more flexible so not sure why I'd want to use Xen anyway.

Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux

The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint… there are just so many choices, just like how when someone asks how to join the Fediverse people will response with “which instance?”...

nanook ,

Actually, CHOICE is the reason I use Linux. If I wanted what you suggest, I'd be using WhenBlows or MacCrap.

How to manually remove nvidia package that won't go?

(Linux Mint) Switched to an AMD graphics card recently and ran “sudo apt remove --purge” on all ^nvidia* and ^libnvidia* packages. Unfortunately, one package (libnvidia-compute-470) seems to not get the message and won’t remove itself. Quick search around the internet on solutions have not resolved the issue yet. Wondering...

nanook ,

Does it provide an error message? Might try lower level, dpkg -r libnvidia-compute-470.

nanook ,

My experience with snap has been nothing but bad, I absolutely hate it.

nanook ,

My take on this whole thing, "If you're afraid to play on a level playing field, then you don't belong in the game."

nanook ,

I rather like how Monty Python once put it, "There are two types of people, those who put people into categories and those who don't."

@s4if @Machefi I was kicked off of Farcebook almost three years ago now, that's when I started my friendica and hubzilla mode. I began to find it increasingly difficult to find things on Google or Bing, so I turned first to DuckDuckGo, but then they turned to using Google's database, so became useless, so I went to Swisscows, then they did the same with the same results, so at that point I started by Yacy node (a federated search engine). We do what we must out of necessity.

nanook ,

@AvengingFemme So so, it's easier to find "relevant" responses with google, IF it's not something politically charged that Google is intentionally suppressing, but if it is something Google doesn't want you to see you're likely to find it with yacy. The way yacy works, each node talks to all the others, so whatever your site has indexed, and you can direct what it indexes, those results are combined with all the other nodes when you do a search. But the downside is that it is resource intensive, particularly you need a lot of RAM, 96GB is marginal.

nanook ,

I'm of the opinion, start your own node and do whatever the fuck you want.

nanook ,

Sorry but I think what will most likely happen is people who tire of farcebook's censorship, once they realize there are alternatives they will jump and the traffic will be spread around. Some smaller sites may not handle it but they can become niche sites.
