Using Fedora - sometimes akmods fails to build the kernel module after a kernel update, but that’s fixed with a single command (sudo akmods --rebuild --force) and a reboot. Besides that, it’s been rock solid.

On OpenSUSE I had constantly problems. But I heard that they release Kernel updates faster and sometimes the NVidia driver isn’t ready yet for the new kernel.

It might have been another story with the old driver architecture…

They even got ads for horse piss now?!

“Im working in a call center. What do you think how many girls I talked to before lunch?”

Just to add insult to injury for the cited statistic: they only count delayed trains. If a train has accumulated too much delay, they might stop it and make it turn around and it never completes its journey. This will count as a cancelled train instead of a delayed train and thus it is not counted as a part of that statistic… So the reality is even worse than you’d expect.

Oooh, did someone look into a mirror while naked?

What exactly is NSFW mode? Asking for a friend…

I mean I get the idea of the forced restart and the general waiting time - assuming a scammer wants you to install a “side loaded” app, it will disconnect their call with you, of they’re calling you on that phone. Same for a waiting period that forces the scammer to either hang around on the phone with you for a long time or to call again some time in the future.

But 24h?

✨ Yes, you’re absolutely right. It wasn’t my mistake, it was yours. I just took the blame to make you feel less like an idiot that makes mistakes even an AI can solve reliably. I realize, that you don’t like this behavior and will change from now on based on your request! ✨

Updated Memory.md to remember to always be picky, question every little thing the user did wrong or against the style guide that I find and bluntly point it out.

So… Now the pressure is gone? Or is it still there, but it’s not a drip anymore?

DNS is ASCII only and so this conversion is done. It is not needed to display the “technical” domain name that results when you enter a domain name with non ASCII chars in apps, but yes, this prevents character confusion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name

In the Domain Name System, these domains use an ASCII representation consisting of the prefix xn-- followed by the Punycode translation of the Unicode representation of the language-specific alphabet or script glyphs. For example, the Cyrillic name of Russia’s IDN ccTLD is рф. In Punycode representation, this is p1ai, and its DNS name is xn--p1ai.

Argh, I meant + and then did a copy and paste error

It’s half AND half, not half TIMES half after all

half-and-half = 0.5 + 0.5 = 1
two half-and-half(s) = (0.5 + 0.5) × 2 = 1 × 2 = 2
three half-and-half(s) = (0.5 + 0.5) × 3 = 1 × 2 = 3
…

If the domain starts with xn- it’s a telltale sign, that it’s a punycode domain name. Read: it does contain characters that are not ASCII characters. This is done as domains need to be ASCII only. The format of these domains is usually xn--allASCIIcharacters-allNonASCIIcharactersEncoded.tld. Example: täst.com is xn--tst-qla.com.

If you manually type such a domain (containing characters like äöüéèçč…), many browsers will still display what you entered, but convert the domain into punycode in the background before connecting.

You can decode the domain of this post and it results in マリウス.com.

Yeah, that’s always an option. If you want to. On paper I like the idea for security reasons, but I dislike that a single company can basically control, what is able to be installed/executed and what is not allowed.

That’s basically my commit history for every repo where I need the pipeline to run to see if everything works.

GDPR has entered the chat

…assuming the EU representatives have some balls

The most current NVidia driver generation needs special setup for secure boot. But IIRC it doesn’t support the non RTX cards anymore. And sadly I can’t remember how to set up the older generations.

For the newest you need a setup that compiles and signs the Kernel module of the driver and you also need to manually import the (generated) key into your UEFI to allow secure boot to succeed. The former is usually mostly automated by your distribution, but the latter need to be done by you manually.
