Not sure why ARM is on your angry list. They are more than happy to sell rights to other manufacturers. As far as I can tell, they have not done anything wrong, yet.

Reddit says "blablabla" . Reddit is just trying to stop its communistic website from losing money.

Reddit says "we will give you access" once you pay us and feather our pockets.

Fuck spez, what a cunt. Delete all your comments etc, and let the AI rot in retarded posts.

Windows 11 now shows a full-screen pop-up to use OneDrive and protect your PC in c/technology

[–] BrownianMotion 36 points 6 months ago

One of the first things I did was remove OneDrive when I installed W11.

I have yet to see any of this new malarky, and I am not in the EU.

From a admin command prompt: winget uninstall Microsoft.OneDrive

If you have linked an account to OneDrive, I'd advise you unlink it first.

NVIDIA Transitions Fully Towards Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules. Keep in mind that the drivers are still proprietary. in c/[email protected]

[–] BrownianMotion 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have a RTX 4060ti. What does this mean to me, when running Debian desktop OS? Is the driver no longer "BLOB" limited? Can we see full code at github?

(Don't get me wrong, I can compile kernels and code. I just don't understand the nuances of all these licenses. My eyes literally glaze over when people start talking about licensing, I know the flat OSS licenses but "dual GPL/MIT"? I'm falling asleep asking this!

There are many variations also available online.

Why is flathub saying Floorp is proprietary in c/[email protected]

You can try Waterfox, its also a firefox based browser focused on privacy, if you cannot definitively determine the license.

Chemistry jokes are funny periodically, but physics jokes have way more potential.

Opnsense 23.7 should drop soon (self.opnsense)

Four days ago it was looking on track: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=35041.0

As per the roadmap, https://opnsense.org/about/road-map/ it will come soon.

The main points to note about this release (See https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=34948.0 for everything):

o php8.2 updates

o allow “.” in DNS search override

o extend/modify IPv6 primary address behaviour

o rewrote OpenVPN configuration as “Instances” using MVC/API available as a separate configuration

o move unbound-blocklists.conf to configuration location

Updates to these plugins:

o plugins: os-acme-client 3.18[3]

o plugins: os-dnscrypt-proxy 1.14[4]

o plugins: os-dyndns removed due to unmaintained code base

o plugins: os-frr 1.34[5]

o plugins: os-telegraf 1.12.8[6]

However, there are a lot of known issues and migration considerations:

o The Unbound ACL now defaults to accept all traffic and no longer generates automatic entries. This was done to avoid connectivity issues on dynamic address setups – especially with VPN interfaces. If this is undesirable you can set it to default to block instead and add your manual entries to pass.

o Dpinger no longer triggers alarms on its own as its mechanism is too simplistic for loss and delay detection as provided by apinger a long time ago. Delay and loss triggers have been fixed and logging was improved. The rc.syshook facility “monitor” still exists but is only provided for compatibility reasons with existing user scripts.

o IPsec “tunnel settings” GUI is now deprecated and manual migration to the “connections” GUI is recommended. An appropriate EoL annoucement will be made next year.

o The new OpenVPN instances pages and API create an independent set of instances more closely following the upstream documentation of OpenVPN. Legacy client/server settings cannot be managed from the API and are not migrated, but will continue to work independently.

o The old DynDNS plugin was removed in favor of the newer MVC/API plugin for ddclient. We are aware of the EoL state of ddclient which was unfortunately announced only one year after we started working on the new plugin. We will try to add upstream fixes that have not been released yet and already offer our own ddclient-less Python backend in the same plugin as an alternative.

Kinky is when you tickle your girlfriend with a feather. Perverted is when you use the whole bird.
