I can recommend Yanis’ actual book titled Technofeudalism. It’s an easy read for lay audiences as he’s written it as if he was explaining the outcomes of his research in simple terms to his father.

I found it to be a fresh take compared to most post-capitalist research that I’ve read over the last few years.

Being based in New Zealand, the XX90 cards come with a significant markup and are wholly unaffordable. They’re priced at about 8% of the median pre-tax salary. I built an entire premium sim rig for less than the cost of a 4090.

It should be DOA but it’ll still sell out for the next couple of months. Think my 3080 will need to last 2 more years unless there is a 5080 ti that uses cut down 5090 dies.

lol. I searched “nvidia 570 Linux” less than a week ago and nada. Just did it again based on you comment and it looks like it was released 2 days ago.

You’re an absolute legend! Thanks for the heads up.

VRR that works with multiple monitors connected. Unfortunately that’s an Nvidia driver issue rather than a missing Linux protocol, so could be waiting a while.

I’ve recently switched to Fedora KDE running version 6 and HDR looks great. Well worth the wait.

For those that hit the paywall.

Get ready for private … roads

Yes, because Australia has proven that privately owned toll roads are sooooo profitable without the government guaranteeing returns. /s

R was created at the University of Auckland in New Zealand which is probably why he’s on the cover.

During the Stephen Fry doco “Last Chance to See” a Kakopo started furiously humping a member of the BBC film crew.

Damn. Ah well thanks for tracking that down. I think I found the git project page earlier but didn’t look through the issues log.

A bit off topic, but is anyone running a Simagic wheel for racing on Linux? I’ve kept a large windows drive solely for my sim racing racing but looking through proton it appears that most of the games are compatible. Only concern now would be whether my hardware is supported.

Pretty happy that I’ll be dead with no descendants when things really start to get bad. I’m doing my best in my country to try and avert or at least mitigate the worst effects of climate change, but it’s more and more of a struggle each day.

Assuming you’re primarily interested in gaming performance; wait for reliable 3rd party non-DLSS benchmarks.

From the Nvidia presentation, the 5070ti looks great, but the performance uplift over previous gen in their slides pretty much only applies to games with frame generation. Not every game will implement DLSS 4 let alone DLSS. You may still need the better rasterisation of the 5080 depending on your monitor resolution and desired fps.

Quickly browsing through the tracks I’d say it’s a mixture of proper techno sub-genres. Some melodic, a bit of bleep or acid, and a few hard/industrial peak-time tunes. Add “techno” onto the end of those adjectives and you have your genres.

I’m currently dual booting Pop OS and Fedora KDE edition with a 3080, so essentially using both an old GNOME version (Pop) and Plasma 6 (Fedora). Pop works straight out of the box if you choose the Nvidia install and the Nvidia controls are fairly similar to Windows.

Fedora gave me some problems getting it going, but once I’d opted in to proprietary drivers, and did a few updates, it’s been all good. The HDR implementation in Plasma is way better than Win 10 and the only issue with VRR is that it won’t work if you have a multi-monitor setup. Turning off the other monitors works fine. The gpu controls are more limited though.

GNOME is a bit behind Plasma. VRR is an experimental feature and HDR doesn’t run on Nvidia cards. Both should be fixed sometime this year I believe.

If you undervolt your card you are out of luck. There are some limited overclocking tools but underclocking seems like a bit of a nightmare.

Yup wouldn’t work over any other ports. Had to move the other service off of it but it now works.

Solved with this solution. It would only work over 80 and 443.

Lighttpd was using port 80 for pihole. Back when I set it up you could change the server port but it would be overwritten every time pi hole was redeployed, hence why I didn’t just change this in the first instance. They seem to have updated it so that editing the .conf and changing the port number will persist.

I should have said in the main text, I have something else on port 80 and I though best practice was not to expose 80 or 443?
