  • It’s impossible to know based on the current understanding of particle physics. A black hole is formed when the inward gravitational force exceeds the outward neutron degeneracy pressure of a sufficiently massive object, which is what keeps neutrons from occupying the same space (not really, it’s complicated). Beyond that, only conjecture exists with no evidence, and the information paradox makes it impossible to observe the space inside the event horizon.


  • Steam also supplies its own shared libraries, many of which are 32-bit. It does a lot of fuckery with LD_PRELOAD to load its own stuff instead of system libraries. The steam-native-runtime package in the multilib repository replaces those with system libraries, and provides the steam-native command that runs Steam without said fuckery. I can’t guarantee it’ll work at all.


  • Processes launched from Steam run in an altogether different runtime environment compared to Lutris. When Steam launches an application, it uses several wrapper processes that you can see in btop’s process tree. Pressure Vessel (pv-adverb) and Bubblewrap (srt-bwrap) are sandboxing solutions by Valve and Flatpak respectively, and Reaper is responsible for tracking and cleaning up Wine processes when the game is closed.


    This is what the process tree looks like when I launch Warframe:



  • Enrico Weigelt. He’s also an anti-vaxxer moron. To quote his own words on the LKML: https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2106.1/04542.html

    And I know a lot of people who will never take part in this generic human experiment that basically creates a new humanoid race (people who generate and exhaust the toxic spike proteine, whose gene sequence doesn’t look quote natural). I’m one of them, as my whole family.

    So yes, sure, nobody can stop people that think the pandemic is over (“we are vaccinated”) from meeting in person.

    Pandemic ? Did anybody look at the actual scientific data instead of just watching corporate tv ? #faucigate

    The only benefit I see in Xlibre is that it will attract idiots like him and and draw them away from projects with real merit.

    Fuck that. The morons who scream WOOOOKE at everything they don’t like that doesn’t fully cater to their worldviews are part of the reason why those shows and movies suck. Blaming bad writing on any kind of agenda is giving the writers and showrunners an undeserved scapegoat.

    Yes, the latter seasons of Doctor Who were an atrocity, but it’s not because of the Doctor’s female incarnations (although the retcon itself is still horrid), it’s because Chris Chibnall is a fucking terrible showrunner and dogshit writer that makes even Moffatt’s writing look positively adequate. Fuck you, Chris.

    I have strictly limited overtime with high bonuses and mandatory rest days, afternoon/night shift bonuses, 20 days minimum fully paid vacation, fully paid maternity leave, fully paid sick leave, healthcare paid through taxes, all written into law. Feels nice to live in a place where workers have rights. Sometimes I don’t even know what to do with all this legally mandated freedom. Anyway, how’s that deregulation going, America?


  • How much experience do you have with networking, exactly?

    The DNS record points to a private IPv4 address (10.0.0.41), which cannot be accessed from the internet for multiple reasons; first of which is that it’s almost certainly behind a NAT gateway.

    Your internet provider has given you a single publicly routable IPv4 address and assigned it to the WAN interface on your modem or router. If you want to access a host on the LAN, you’ll first have to configure port mapping or port forwarding on the router. Then you’ll have to open holes in your firewall and accept the fact that every bad actor will try to break into that host unless you know how to set up network security.



  • Better out-of-the-box hardware support, in my experience. We have a machine learning server at work, it didn’t see the GPUs on Debian Bullseye with the driver versions specified by the manufacturer, but worked perfectly with Ubuntu Server out of the box.

    A distribution that is preconfigured by professionals has great value in a practical setting, even if that value has diminished in the eyes of the kind of person that Lemmy attracts. If I had tried to get Debian working by overruling the manufacturer’s instructions, I’d have to take responsibility for it, both its maintenance and the downtime and potential damage if I had fucked something up. With Ubuntu, I get to delegate at least part of the responsibility to Canonical (while covering my own ass), and that’s something you can’t backport.



  • Linux has two different kinds of “used” memory. One is memory allocated for/by running processes that cannot be reclaimed or reallocated to another process. This memory is unavailable. The other kind is memory used for caching (ZFS, write-back cache, etc) that can be reclaimed and allocated for other things as needed. Memory that is not allocated in any way is free. Memory that is either free or allocated to cache is available.

    It looks like htop only shows unavailable memory as “used”, while proxmox shows the sum of unavailable and cached memory. Proxmox “uses” 11 GB, but it’s not running out of memory because most of it is “available”.
