Dad says he won’t go to grandma’s second funeral. One is enough for him.

Yeah, most men show up almost naked, as your grandmother requested.

Yeah, the modern sleep thing is tricky. Apparently especially on laptops but also on some desktops the manufacturers don’t implement all the sleep modes correctly, so depending on the device, some of the sleep modes work and some don’t. So you have to try out what works, and you have to always update your linux kernel config to use the correct sleep mode that you set in the bios.

Kernel 6.11 changed something about how sleep works in the kernel, don’t know what exactly, but there was a major rework.

The information is pretty spotty to find on google, with a lot of variation between the hardware and quite a overlapping issues.

This is one of the cases where ChatGPT was actually more helpful than google.

Apparently it is. I just thought there must be more to it.

He can rope the balloon back down.

Ok, then I did understand it, but it still doesn’t make sense because that’s not how dirt works.

Ok, I’ll stop running the compiler in the cloud…

I may be slow today. I don’t get it. Can someone explain please?

I had exactly the same problem on kernel 6.11+. To confirm, try downgrading the kernel to 6.10.x.

My issue was with modern sleep, and it’s persistent on all distros with 6.10+.

IIRC what I ended up doing was disabling modern sleep in the bios.

Not really. Games have very similar security implications as any other server/client software.

You are right now reading on exactly such a system, which is open source, and still you don’t see massive amounts of hacks targeting lemmy or piefed.

The premise is simple: Never trust the client. The border you have to defend isn’t the border between the client software and the user, but the one between the client and the server. Always treat the client software as compromised.

In terms of games that means:

• All game state calculation happens on the server. The client sends to the server what it wants to do, the server sends what happens. So instead of the client sending “The player is now at position XY”, it sends “The player is walking forwards”. The server calculates the speed, distance and new position and returns that to the client.
• The server only sends the client things the player should know. If the enemy unit is not visible, it is not sent to the client.

That’s what buggs me about the situation. Physical media doesn’t matter one bit.

There’s nothing about physical media that conferrs any kind of ownership over the copy. Already way back in 2012 I bought an used copy of Skyrim only to find out when trying to install it that it used Steam and the CD key was already tied to the previous owner’s Steam account. I had the physical media, but it was worthless to me.

What we should be fighting for (or put our money towards) is DRM-free copies, like what GOG sells. If you really fetishize plastic disks nobody’s stopping you from burning a copy of the DRM-free installer onto one, or you can put it on your NAS, the cloud or where the sun don’t shine.

Someone who has no other option and really needs that RAM.

That’s a bit of a weird argument to make.

We were talking about PCs with preinstalled OSes. How often do you come across DIY-built PCs with preinstalled OS?

If you select your own components you never have a preinstalled OS.

Also, most people who switch from Windows to Linux do so on existing hardware. It’s rare for people to buy a completely new PC to try out an OS. Maybe if €1000+ is something you shell out on a whim, but not if you actually work for your money.

For existing hardware you always have the hardware lottery on Linux.

Perhaps the perceived problem would fade if we taught people that computers and operating systems are not all equal, and that just as MacOS is more likely to run on a machine made for it, Linux is more likely to run on a machine made for it. (Edit: The same is true for Windows, for what it’s worth.)

Congratulations, you just happened to get the point that I made. And for some reason you thought that was a gotcha.

My argument was that if Linux came preinstalled on machines (apart from the current selection of tiny boutique manufacturers), these machines would be configured by the manufacturer to include only components that work well with Linux, which is not the case if you use a device that doesn’t have manufacturer support for Linux.

All in all you ended up at the whole point I was making, but somehow you first had to claim that it’s all nonsense.

Ja leider nicht mehr. Sie war es recht lange.

Ich hab erst gedacht, du meinst alten und jungen Leuten.

The “doesn’t come preinstalled” part is still huge, combined with the “doesn’t have first-party device manufacturer support”.

If you buy a PC with Windows preinstalled, that doesn’t only mean that you don’t have to install Windows, but also the whole set of hardware in there will work just fine under Windows. They don’t put a fingerprint reader in there that doesn’t have a Windows driver, or a GPU with bad Windows driver support.

And yes, most hardware natively works pretty well under Windows, but the manufacturer taking care that they only select components that work fine under Windows is a big part of why there isn’t a hardware lottery under Windows.

Das ist der Zweck der Brandmauer: Dass 33% nicht reichen für eine Machtergreifung.
