Issue is with the space in “New Volume”, I bet. Should likely be /media/lucky/New\ Volume
Or, I vaguely remember having to add like \040 or something in place of the space. I’ve dealt with this in the past… And found it easier to use a “-” instead of a space… Or no space at all, obviously.
I constantly check out dell refurbished for deals on workstations. Pretty good Linux compatibility in my experience, workstation hardware, and they have 50% deals all the dang time. The precision line of workstations looks like it would meet your needs.
I’m still convinced the Dell Refurbished website isn’t real. Like why do they even bother selling crappy Celeron and Pentium systems when this website exists?
I just found myself that C is the worst programming language as many people say, but the security and simplicity is more than any language in security. Thank you so much for this!
C: "Lemme just accept anything the user gives me, write beyond the input buffer, glitch out, and start executing whatever the fuck the user injects in there."
Still a decent language though, but like an oxy-acetylene torch, it's powerful tool, but you better know what you're doing.
In that talk he called C “the worst language” and said he chose it to troll the industry. How does that support your point?
He also said that you should choose “least privilege” whenever possible. That is precisely the value that Rust brings over C. So how does that talk support the idea that C is more secure than Rust?
I think you misunderstood or… don’t get the point “worst language” part from what he said. My point come from his point who’s more expert. If you think like that, what can I say? and I’m not trying convience you to understand too…
Back to your knowledge and understanding. But at least for me, I agree with him that rust is ‘hype-like’ or ‘pop culture’ thing. Like cyrpto (he said in ask session), but from technical perspective, that I personally understand. I just lost the source to explain this, but it’s up to you…
Now I’m wondering, with which fingers would you press all those buttons? The most comfortable way to press these keys with 1 hand is to rotate the keyboard 180 degrees
They don’t intend for you to, it’s just easier to make a giant button combo that their generic HID driver handles as a special case than to create a custom keyboard protocol with their special key enums and a custom driver that only windows supports.
I used to use Tubleweed, but I tested Fedora Silverblue to check out what the immutability is all about and never returned. I think I will switch to OpenSuse Aeon, but for now it does not support Full Disk Encryption which is a deal breaker for me.
As long as it’s treated like a media key and not an intrusion of the standard, then I couldn’t care less. It’s a stupid idea, but Microsoft is so often full of those.
Edit> And after reading the article…of course MS is intruding on the standard just like they did with the windows key, but at least that one was turned into “meta” or “super”. I guess this will guarantee I won’t buy another MS keyboard.
Tbh I was kinda sad they killed her off instead of trying to make her an actually useful AI assistant. Seemed like a missed opportunity since her Halo counterpart is an AI as well, and it would’ve been cool to maybe have an AR partner app that would have shown pre-Halo 4 version of her.
Foobar2000 has been here for YEAAAARS, and I don’t think there is a good enough equivalent for linux, and by that I mean playlist tabs, global shortcuts, etc
Apart from all this, ive learned the most from a mix of looking at other people’s configurations and reading source code. The documentation is super messy, especially if you want to make use of flakes (which i personally recommend from the get go).
Strawberry is also great if you are on windows as well. I support it in general, whether you use it on Windows or Linux. I’ve been using it whenever I want to listen to my music on my windows machine. Definitely gonna be using it with my next Linux machine (that isn’t my absolute dogshit laptop). Before learning about Strawberry, I was just using Foobar2000 or VLC, which both just don’t feel anywhere near as good to me than Strawberry.
Yep. I used Winamp (and still do to an extent) but wanted to find a FOSS alternative that I can start slowly leaning into so it’s painless when I migrate to Linux next year. So far, Strawberry is the only one I’ve found that I enjoy using on a daily basis.
I don’t use Windows, but given that their office key just sends ctrl+shift+alt+meta, I’m afraid that this could send something like meta+alt that windows users don’t use, but it would be useless for some Linux users that already use that key combo.
While I agree with the recommendations (I have a ThinkPad P14S Gen4 now) I wouldn’t say the battery life is great - especially if OP wants to do video editing and such. Otherwise it’s an amazing laptop (now that it’s actually supported by the kernel). I still suspect the Intel variant would be better for battery life though.
With that being said for anything this intensive you’ll need a charger with any laptop because it will simply not be able to keep working for 8+ hours with this kind of software. In fact get a docking station and a second screen too unless you plan to be on the go all of the time; the productivity increase from getting a second screen is insane.
Oh and be prepared to lose a lot of the fancy stuff with Linux - sure you get an amazing screen but no HDR. You don’t get the sound improvements from the official Lenovo drivers for Windows, etc. Oh and you should keep the Windows partition (just shrink it to a minimum) - makes it much easier to keep the bios up to date.
