Well one day I heard about NixOS… And that’s all it took

If you ever need a reeally stupid way to sanitize deleted data without special privileges, just fill the disk up with some files then delete them. On Linux this is easy with cat and /dev/zero or urandom. Can’t be sure it gets everything but it’s better than doing nothing.

Something something they do sometimes

Pretty sus :P

I would start by removing the graphics card if you have integrated graphics available (or disable the PCI port in your bios)

This reminds me of the kinds of issues I would get when setting up overclocking and getting just past the limit of stable operation. If you have overclocking set up definitely try disabling it.

If removing the GPU does nothing don’t forget to check removing each ram stick separately, or make sure your bios runs a full memory check.

I wouldn’t trust current models to do any real work. Aaand I think humans will be cheaper than LLMs for a long time to come. Ultimately all costs are labor and if you need to give the power plant people (running the plant, mining the fuel, building the plant) sandwiches to get them to provide power for your llm, you’re probably better off giving a human programmer sandwiches instead.

The ai bubble pops when investors decide they want dividends instead of speculative gains.

I just use ssh, it seems to be built in to powershell these days

Virt-manager with qemu-system, although if you use the kvm driver for both performance should be about the same I think.

Don’t forget virtualbox has a lot of configuration options that may improve performance, Ive never had a problem with it but also never need high performance from a VM.

Check out section 4.1 here https://www.baeldung.com/linux/bind-mounts

I for one think we need a register for each unsigned integer, why is zero so special? :P

Or if we can’t get that, at least every power of 2 and power of 2 minus 1.

Maybe I can submit a proposal for risc-VI 🤣

There are a bunch of options to do this.

If you use the networking stack (tcp or http or zmq or something ) you can run the gui on a different machine.

Unix sockets are a good option for running on the same machine.

Have you considered having node serve the static web page? Then you can serve the data over http with the same server.

C+

I highly doubt anyone would guess ANSI C is what I’m talking about if I referred to it as C+

Great question I’ve been wondering the same thing. I’ve been using a spreadsheet with some fancy lookup sheets for far too long, which results in only one ‘category’ of expenses ever being tracked.

I think reactos is just in a weird space of semi uselessness like haiku. It’s not good enough to use daily and doesn’t have as much retro appeal as game emulators so not enough work is done to it.

Also building reactos is terrible, or at least was years ago (it’s a whole os and userland after all, I know it won’t be simple). If the development workflow improves the project could get off the ground.

As far as posix support goes I would love to see reactos get to the point where a posix nt personality could be real again, but really I think humanity has learned enough about operating systems to build a new one from scratch instead of liberating proprietary tech at great cost.

Lol in Albuquerque this isn’t a problem because plates are optional 😂

😅 naa for me encryption a bigger risk than theft

That said, you should be able to decrypt your disks with the right key even on a live boot. Even if the secrets are in the tpm you should be able to use whatever your normal system uses to decrypt the disks.

If you don’t enter a password to boot, the keys are available. If you do, the password can decrypt the keys afaik.

Again, I don’t do this but that’s what I’ve picked up here and there so take it with a grain of salt I may be wrong.

Live boot, plug in a display?

Maybe I’m missing something here, but won’t booting from live media run a normal environment?

If you don’t have a live boot option you can also pull the disk and fix it on another machine, or put a different boot disk in the system entirely.

You can probably also disable hardware virtualization extensions in the bios to break the VM so it doesn’t steal the graphics card.

The ultimate protection for your truck

I’ve been trying to run a stable system with never overcommit and no swap . It’s impossible. this is the thing that may make me a kernel developer once I retire.

I’ve settled for tons of swap with never overcommit but I still can’t do normal things sometimes.

The downside to swap is wearing out your disk and latency when swapping, it’s good to have swap usage before ram is gone to let the system have more ram available for random allocations. My goal is to never need the oom killer, but it seems like many apps (chrome and FF mostly) basically require overcommit to function.

Right now my system has 30% ram used and is still keeping 700MB is swap. I would recommend to try benchmarking your settings but I don’t do that myself so I don’t know what to use 😅.

You can try disabling swap with swapoff, then your system is definitely maximizing your ram use, just be prepared for the oom killer to wreck your session.

Have you read through this thread? https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8682734.html

Seems relevant by the first few posts.

Obligatory mention of file recovery as an option if you get in this situation.I recommend testdisk but there are other more gui friendly options.

NTFS takes a relatively long time to destroy the data so chances of recovery are good on Windows.
