What to cook, what happened today at work, what do we do next week end, what needs to be done at home

Optimize performance for what?

Seriously. This is the question you need to answer.

Dual xeon sounds like you have some kind of server motherboard with two distinct multicore xeon processors. Which would make your question partially make sense because your memory would be split into two NUMA nodes and cause all kinds of weird issues for generic workloads.

Usually these servers run specialized software that is implemented to handle this case, but generic software (browsers, games) does not. Just recompiling and choosing a distro will not solve your issues. You are probably better off disabling one cpu and numa node or configuring them to not run, to avoid the data split.

If you want to optimize for server workloads for server software (webserver, db software) then a good and stable server distro is all you need (debian, almalinux).

You have critical data? What you need is a backup procedure. This is your first item to check off.

Once you can reliably backup and restore your critical data you will see that the os change will look a lot less scary.

Insert dr House “everybody is laying” here.

The kernel tells any process using it to fuck off and remounts

So once upon a time, you actually got honey at the market replenishing your pot, rather than buying jars in the supermarket.

This thing was always in the pot, and you did not use a spoon to get your honey, it works better than a spoon and you just leave it in the pot.

Today americans probably bleach their jars, spoons and bees, but honey is surprisingly shelf stable, having a pot with a little hole with this little plunger sticking out is fine really.

My apologies, my calculations were off, we can wash once every two week here so i have like 20ish pairs of underwear and socks, so wear is less concentrated and clothes last longer. In average your wear rates match mine.

I mean, this is the real world not a videogame, how can someone think to “just shut down” an entire industry segment? We are in free market capitalism, and unless they also suggest to “just shift to autochratic communnism” this ain’t going to happen.

After the kind of good question such a response threw me off

It is extremely difficult to self host emails, mainly because most servers will not have you whitelisted, or will blacklist your server as soon as you send something even slightly weird in your headers, which you will do as you learn how to configure whatever thing you find.

You will need to register your domain, acquire a trusted certificate and register dns records with all this information to even hope to have an email be delivered to someone’s inbox if they are not on your server. Lookup SPF on wikipedia.

so unless you want to only send emails to accounts handled by you you will need to publish a lot of information just to be able to communicate with others.

I suggest you pay someone that is not proton if you are not happy with them. You can always layer gpg ontop of any other email account, thunderbird does that by default with two flags.

Are you 7 or a troll?

Annually? Are you made of sandpaper or are you buying crap clothes?

All this is ironic, bazzite is often chosen for gaming, but as all these niche distros they have problems in stability which in this case reflects on exactly their core feature: gaming performance.

Stands yet again in demonstrating that gamers don’t actually care about performance, just in claiming that they have a top spec pc, if that thing does not perform like it should but just gives a workable experience it is actually fine

No, bazzite does some weird stuff that does not interact well with the linux nvidia drivers

I was similarly perplexed, it sure looks like it. I was thinking the photo is AI because of that.

For context: that kind of plastic did not exist in 1955

Not really, we are not in the eighties anymore, modern supercomputers are mainly a bunch of off the shelf servers connected together

From that article:

Installing Steam from Flathub/Flatpak will fix many of the issues faced on the client but will require alternative, less documented forms of troubleshooting on the long run.

You hit the “long run” after years 😉

Why would you use flatpack for stuff natively available on pacman? Search no further, flatpack is a good way to introduce problems where there are none

God forbid developers earning something for their work

I am a software developer, on work computers I have debian, on my personal I have arch.

I would never use fedora as I am not here to troubleshoot bullshit for red hat, and would never use ubuntu because of their snap bullshit. It can be avoided but in both cases it is an indicator of the motivations of the company that controls them not being aligned with my interests.

I like arch because of the rolling release and because I like to control and understand all that happens on my machine. Optimization is not my main motivator.

I have almost nothing à la carte, i bulk-installed all that my DE wanted and use that plus alacritty and steam.
