There’s one in the article comments. Talks about getting the material “dishonestly” and violating the TOS.

WTF is Premium Lite?

Uhhh wtf is happening?

Nothing, it’s the standard protocol. They’re currently dealing with the results of a previous activation.

For a while at least.

You can do encrypted swap as well. If you use the same passphrase you can install decrypt_keyctl and use it as described here. It will cache the passphrase and send it to every other LUKS volume that needs decrypting so you have to type it only once. This is what I’m currently using and my root is on ZFS on LUKS.

Another option which I haven’t used is to have a small volume that only stores your LUKS keys as files, then your LUKS volumes reference those files as keys, then you decrypt only that volume with a passphrase upon boot.

Another option is to use a swap file. I used to run Ubuntu LTS on LUKS on LVM. That is disk > EFI and LVM partitions > LVM volume boot, LVM volume for LUKS > root filesystem inside LUKS > swapfile in that root filesystem. Upon boot, GRUB is able to read the Linux kernel straight from the boot volume on LVM. Boots the kernel. You get a prompt to decrypt the LUKS volume where the root filesystem is. Once decrypted, the kernel can access the swapfile if it needs to resume from it. If I didn’t use ZFS, I’d be using this scheme as it’s superbly flexible. Growing the volumes and filesystems for larger storage is easy. Adding redundancy via LVMRAID is easy. Changing the swap size is easy. Hibernation works.

Does anyone know if there’s additional sandboxing of local ports happening for apps running in Private Space?

E: Checked myself. Can access servers in Private Space from non-Private Space browsers and vice versa. So Facebook installed in Private Space is no bueno. Even if the time to transfer data is limited since Private Space is running for short periods of time, it’s likely enough to pass a token while browsing some sites.

It’s more than a packaging format but yes. It includes all dependencies needed to run the main program in a container but the kernel. It’s a complete separate root filesystem. When you run it, as intended, a single process is started which loads all the things it needs from that filesystem. It’s isolated from the rest of the system unless you share resources with it, like directories or special devices. Obviously this results in larger packages but there is a clever way to save on that overhead with layering, so in practice while still significantly larger than single program deb files, it’s not nearly as bad as it sounds. The thing is that Flatpak and Snap also package dependencies to a different degree.

Countdown till Trump complains about Canada over this.

No I use Debian. For anything that’s somehow not packaged for it, there’s Docker.

This is like a fucking reality TV drama at this point.

Since 2013 or so with the Belt and Road Initiative.

China has, with different strings attached.

As for individuals or NGOs, I don’t know. That said, as GiveDirectly have shown, it’s not complicated to spend effectively if you don’t want to exercise significant control. All you have to do is give the money directly to poor people. That’s about it. They will circulate it and recirculate it in the local economy, multiplying the effects.

Or you could get China to build the equivalent of a fifth of the B&R infrastructure on your dime without the strings attached. Trains, roads, ports, power generation, etc.

Or if you wanted to help curb the ability of someone else accumulating as much as you did, establish funds for worker co-op startup firms, unions and socialist politicians’ campaigns.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates says that most of his $200bn (£150bn) fortune will be spent on improving health and education services in Africa over the next 20 years.

The 69-year-old said that “by unleashing human potential through health and education, every country in Africa should be on a path to prosperity”.

Speaking in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa, he also urged Africa’s young innovators to think about how to build Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve healthcare on the continent.

Gates announced last month that he would give away 99% of his vast fortune by 2045, by when his foundation planned to end its operations.

So no, he’s not giving it away in traditional sense. It’s still directed spending according to what he believes is correct. Over 20 years. So same old but with AI.

Probably not.

I think they’re also doing 5nm using DUV. Low yields but probably OK when you’re not on the hook to make chunks for nameless shareholders.

Because they don’t like pointing out who wins from this. Might be paid by the same people.

It proved sqrt(2) irrational with 40tps on a 3090 here. The 32b R1 did it with 32tps but it thought a lot longer.

That’s right. It’s why I began donating to the IA recently.

Not saying you’re wrong but people use words that are useful in conveying to their target audience. Denylisting by the search monopolist is perceived as censorship by many.

Bombast aside, I think the process and its implications are interesting and people need to be aware.

If you could only be arsed to implement the Windows/Microsoft Store well enough to support this use case 13 years ago many of us wouldn’t be Linux comrades today. 😂
