On your next pc go with an amd gpu. Just saying.

Currently linux mint offers an easy way to install Nvidia drivers. Avoid compiling the drivers from source.

its a April’s fool joke yes.

Not really… We do have this wonderful list(s): https://github.com/firehol/blocklist-ipsets

And my firewall is using for example the Spamhaus drop list source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/firehol/blocklist-ipsets/refs/heads/master/spamhaus_drop.netset

So I know its possible. And hosting in a git repo like that, will scale a lot. Since tons of people using this already that way.

I found a very large botnet in Brazil mainly and several other countries. And abuseipdb.com is not marking those IPs are a thread. We need a better solution.

I think a honeypot is a good way. Another way is to use proof of work basically on the client side. Or we need a better place to share all stupid web scraping bot IPs.

yeah I also use SFTP using FileZilla. Or like everybody mentioned including yourself, rsync to sync files across computers. Or even scp.

I use Framework 13 with AMD for my Linux laptop, love it. I do not want to go back to any other brand.

Also try 0ad for the people who like age of empires games. It’s free and open source.

Skill issue.

Most unrelated thread of the month!

So I’m playing games like age of empires. But also open source alternatives like 0ad using lan. Works great!

I’m talking the old school age of empires and age of mythology games btw.

Next, there are also good need for speed games like need for speed 3 hot pursuit from 1998. Which works very well via lan.

Maybe red alert also works, or open source alternatives like OpenRA. And then we have games like Planetary annihilation, which also have lan feature.

I didn’t knew they sold these is fully white edition.

Indeed

Correct. Nishiura said that emulators are not illegal. Depending on how it is used ;P

I also like NFS Carbon to be honest.

Yeah, he didn’t share any information about the brand or vendor.

Some vendors also have multiple BIOS-es on the same GPU card (like one overclocked BIOS, and the other is a “normal” BIOS).

You could check if there is a physical switch to switch between modes on your GPU. And see if the other GPU BIOS is also behaving like this.

This is my computer currently, running Linux.

The reason why I would choose linux mint. Is the stability of the whole distro. It’s pretty solid. You can still upgrade kernels. Or even install mainline kernel tool if you wish.

Furthermore, Linux mint provide an easy tool to install drivers, in case you’re running a Nvidia card. And Mint is just basically Ubuntu under the hood,without the crap of Ubuntu. Meaning mint also support PPAs (personal package repositories). If you wish to get some updated package.

I run Linux Mint for years and years, I think you will be happy with it.
