The Doctor

For starts, read the wiki. Specifically, read the installation guide at least twice to get a feel for how it works and what the Arch vibe is like. This is also your chance to figure out just what you want to do. Do you want to use GRUB or UEFI? Which sounds like a better fit? What filesystem? What do you want to run? mdadm or not? A little bit of planning and reading is better than reinstalling half a dozen times (ask me how I know…)

Must-have applications? Screen or tmux. SSH. Whatever shell you’re comfortable with (bash is how I roll, but you might be a fan of fish).

One of the Muskrat’s kits will undoubtedly tell him sooner or later. Then Github’ll get a takedown order.

The firmware blobs for that chipset might be in a package you don’t have installed. You’re running Arch, so install the package upd72020x-fw from the AUR.

Waah.

And you can run it over SSH on servers.

They admitted it back then, too.

At last, a fellow sysadmin! Nice work.

I was wondering that, too. I’ve got a pair of GTX 1660 Supers in Leandra running a simulation, and they’ve been crunching away for nine days now.

Because they’re processing data all the time? They’re doing work?

My work laptop has been up for 26 days, 17:24. My primary server at home has been online for 42 days, 21:27. Personal laptop - 45 days, 20:51. The primary server of my exocortex has been online and crunching away for 278 days, 19:48.

It probably means that more people are hacking on it and getting their PRs accepted than are working on SquashFS. What constitutes software that is still alive these days is pretty badly skewed toward “if you don’t release four x.y.z releases every day your software is dead” these days.

When you get right down to it, it’s all risk management.

It’s part of the Fediverse, so if you’re on a Pixelfed instance you can see other servers running Mastodon, et al. Pick an instance that seems like it feels nice to you.

Reading that gave me a fucking headache.

https://elblogdelnarco.com/ is the one everybody seems to go to first. Be careful, there’s some pretty fucking horrifying stuff in there.

This is the Internet, there’s no shortage of targets.

It says pretty explicitly that it only runs on the user’s machine.

Nuance is deader than Elvis.
