Born Again Bourne Again SHell…

BABASH is arriving

You could technically still use it alongside f2b, but in my experience Crowd-Sec seems to do a better job and can do the same things.

I agree that’s an important aspect of open source, but for me personally it’s more about being able to audit what is running on my machine. the fact that they show you the code lets me see and confirm for myself that they aren’t doing anything shady like spying. Though it might not be good enough for some people it definitely is for me.

It’s a level of transparency you won’t ever get from truly “proprietary” software.

Not just an app, but honestly I get all of this and more out of my nextcloud instance. There are mindmap plugins you can download as well as good task support that’s well integrated with however many separate Calender’s you want, etc. Its great!

The only downside is that on the mobile side of things you end up with a whole bunch of apps to sync and interface with the instance (nextcloud, etar, tasks.org, nextcloud notes etc)

You said youve tried experimental and normal proton but have you tried protonGE?

Damn. I hope they just keep chugging along despite this, the game has improved massively since early access and it’s very good.

Where’d you buy this brand of bait?

Then yeah, that option is worthless to you. For me, having networked solutions over a domain I have that enabled. But if its just internally I’d also disable it

Thats interesting! Glad I took the time then

It’s N-protect game guard. But if you say that in a headline, normies don’t know wtf you’re talking about.

I have a 2DS but have never touched any of the spotpass functionality. Should I still do this? Is there anything at all worth uploading?

I’ll do it if its worth it to do even though ive never used it.

“bad pokerus” gave me a good chuckle.

Honestly IMO if you have even an inkling that you’ve been got by a virus, nuking from orbit is the only solution.

Grapehene has historically offered extended support, but for the longest support time the pixel 8 isnt a bad option. The 7a is also I think the king of budget phones right now but the 8 is on sale for a few hundred off the last I checked :)

You are the one who brought up the question of even needing the CPU at all. Also, It wasn’t meant to be an attack. Just an explanation as to why you’d still need a CPU.

why would you run x86

All I meant was a large portion of software and compatibility tools still use it, and our modern desktop CPU architectures are still inspired from it. Things like CUDA are vastly different was my point

But if what you meant by your original comment was to not do away with the CPU, then yes! By all means, plenty of software is now migrating to taking advantage of the GPU as much as possible. I was only addressing you asking “at some point do we even need the CPU?” - the answer is yes :)

GPU’s as the ONLY compute source in a computer cannot and will not function, mainly due to how pipelining works on existing architectures (and other instructions)

You’re right, in that GPU’s are excellent at parallelization. Unfortunately when you pipeline several instructions to be run in parallel, you actually increase each individual instruction’s execution time. (Decreasing the OVERALL execution time though).

GPU’s are stupid good at creating triangles effectively, and pinning them to a matrix that they can then do “transformations” or other altering actions to. A GPU would struggle HARD if it had to handle system calls and “time splitting” similar to how an OS handles operating system background tasks.

This isnt even MENTIONING the instruction set changes that would be needed for x86 for example to run on a GPU alone.

TLDR: CPU’s are here to stay for a really really long time.

I am now also traumatized and left with more questions than I thought possible

Thank you.

What the fuck does any of this even mean

Do you just die instantly if you shine this in your eyes
