IPv4! Hail IPv6

I settled with the distro that stays out of my way so I can get shit done. For me that’s Alpine, but that’s just me. Other people should use the distro that works for them.

Looking closer at the NIC, it looks like it’s not flat against the board. So it’s possible that the connectors aren’t making clean contact. Slap some electrical tape and/or Duct tape on that so that it’s flat :)

Aw that sucks! If the card is recognized by Debian but you can’t see networks or connect, you may be able to get away with just replacing the antennae instead of the entire NIC. Cursory glance says those are MHF4 Antenna, but I could be wrong. You would want to look for MHF4 for M.2/NGFF since that’s the form factor of your NIC.

So it worked nice! How’s the wifi speed?

We currently sell and ship Jolla C2 within the European Union, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Switzerland.

From a cursory glance, they don’t ship to any of the largest smartphone markets. That’s likely why you don’t hear much about them as opposed to any of the global distributors.

For a while it was Elite Dangerous. Reached triple Elite, then eventually Odyssey drops and I stopped playing. After Elite was Baldurs Gate 3. Bg3 was the fastest 1000+ hours I’ve ever dropped in a video game

Why would they deserve this?

Yeah the closest to listing off affected services was this:

The information contained, the researchers stated, open the door to “pretty much any online service imaginable, from Apple, Facebook, and Google, to GitHub, Telegram, and various government services.”

Which doesn’t say very much :s. If you don’t use any of these big online services and use a locally managed password manager I’d wager you’re fine.

4 (kbin.social, kbin.run, kbin.earth, fedia.io) originally. 2 have closed already (kbin.social, kbin.run) which just leaves Kbin.earth and fedia.io

So through this whole article the author just pretends Linux distros don’t exist?

Any computer that can’t offer me a terminal window, root access, and the ability to type “python” to get into a REPL shell feels fake - an incomplete simulation of a real computer. Yes, I have iSH and aShell on my iPad Pro - great tools, yet neither offering the kind of power that I need when using PyTorch (which runs great on a bare-metal M2).

He never makes it clear why he’s continuously opting for Apple Silicon rather than any other device that isn’t tied to one specific vendor. Modern Linux kernels work with just about all modern hardware, even Apple Silicon in some scenarios (see Asahi Linux). Any of the popular distros will provide what he’s stated that he needs ootb. Overall it feels like he’s missing the forest for the two largest trees in front of them.

About as much as the economy is affected by politics. I work in FinTech but with retirement in particular so fairly resilient to most political antics unless they greatly affect the economy or influence large swathes of people topause contribution and pull out their retirement asap.
