  • Yeah, all my Linux installs after about 2003 were liveCDs. I used to carry my Gentoo CD around as my diagnostic tools for a while helping people fix their windows machines (or just backing up everything off it before reformatting).

    I think Knoppix was the first live CD I used. It was mind blowing. Now you can just carry around a whole personally configured system on a USB stick. Pretty cool.












  • I’m using a sandwich style case with the PCIE port at the top of the case and the 3 scews for the slots are at the bottom. It basically pushing the card up and backwards into the PCIE extension cable’s slot. No ass sag, but I can tell there’s a limit to how much it would be able to handle like that. I’ve got a 7900xt (not xtx) so it works for what I need right now.



  • “the order in which the system discovered it” is not deterministic

    This is the same problem they had with hard drive names and it seems to have been solved in a sensible way, i.e. /dev/sda still points to the first disk detected by the system, but you can look look in /dev/disk/by-path (or by-uuid, etc) to see the physical address of the devices on the system and what they are symlinked back to, and set your fstab or mdadm arrays to be configured based on those unique identifiers instead.

    So, I guess what I’d like to know is why hasn’t this been solved the same way? When you boot up they should present every hard wired Ethernet port as ethX, and the hardware address interface should be present as well but aliased back to the eth. Then you can build the your network configs based on either one.

    Shouldn’t be that hard right?


  • I think Sony wants out of the physical console market. They just don’t know how to do it. The consoles are sold at a loss, but the games sales are massive returns on investments.

    If they can double their sales by releasing on steam at the cost of 30% per sale, they still come out ahead, and can save all the R&D cost on developing a physical console, plus the loss from each individual console sale.


  • I’m impressed with my pixel’s ability to do it. I forget it’s on sometimes and I’ll walk in a pub. Having only been inside 5 seconds and my phone in my pocket the whole time, it already has the song playing on display on the lock screen. Its almost like it works better when the volume is lower. I have a harder time detecting music with it if I turn the volume up or hold it near a speaker. Put it my pocket and have 30 people talk over it? Probably has a 95%+ successful detection rate in those conditions
