@NOOBMASTER @Artemis_Mystique So google can make money.

nanook , 5 months ago to linux in Is Linux pretty much unusable with an Nvidia GPU?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

That's TOO Funny!

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

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

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

@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.

@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.
