“Except for me, in my case it doesn’t count”

They my go to to quickly triage a problem being caused by SEL or not.

Not quite. But sorta, yeah.

Learning to “not fuck with it” or ways to do so and rollback are valid lessons themselves.

Being able to segregate “production” and “development” environments is very valuable.

Theoretically one could also prohibit rebooting.

IIRC kexec is pivot_root but for the kernel.

Anything you need to buy is more expensive than anything you already have.

Especially if youre worried about power costs.

Reuse wha you have, replace when you need to.

Mine are all named for the colour of the case, or case accent when ambiguous, though network infrastructure items are named for their models, being the typical default.

I sometimes use A records or mDNS-SD for the actual services provided and use a *.home.arpa. domain.

That sounds like a domain where memory safety is secondary to size and speed… though compile time memory safety guarantees could help.

Good thing we have so many options!

Like riding a motorcycle in a tee shirt and shorts.

Fuck C and it’s lazy shit pointer arithmetic array indexing shortcut. I.e. you just add the index × size(t) to the array pointer.

Bounds checking? We’ve heard of it.

Going from three classes (low, middle, upper) down to two (low, upper) sounds like progress.

That’s the thing, it’s a useful assistant for an expert who will be able to verify any answers.

It’s a disaster for anyone who’s ignorant of the domain.

Bread and circuses.

People are lazy as shit.

Companies are cheapskates.

The nouveau drivers are just barely enough to have a desktop, anything actually needing a GPU will perform very poorly (in my anecdotal experience with 4K). Or, to put it another way, choosing an NVIDIA card is choosing their proprietary drivers.

So you’re left with AMD (and Intel). The open amdgpu driver is pretty good and is suitable for gaming. Which I do.

I have no experience with Intel, but I believe their open drivers are pretty good.

So I recommend AMD.
