[X] My Assistant

I just reimaged and checked the logs to make sure it was pulling all the files from the repository. I had to manually go through and find what was missing.

It was some kind of driver / file clash for me. That was on a raspberry pi.

I am not about to reinstall on my desktop or laptop because of a stupid issue like this. Especially since I can sort of work around it as it is (although it's annoying to do so; I had to apply a couple patches to a PC-8801 emulator to make it handle my actual joypad properly for instance, due to it only trying to use the first detected joystick which in my case was actually my mouse).

Also, youtube-dl [github.com] got DMCA'd by the RIAA.

[yt-dl.org] https://yt-dl.org/ still works.

I have moved all my stuff to gitlab a while ago. No matter how much perfume you use, Microsoft still smells like corporate lawyer shit.

I have been using JDownloader to batch download YouTube videos for years and you can give it a try if you still have such a need. It is written in Java and runs on Linux systems. It supports many, many sites and also has many customisation options. If you try it, make sure to grab the clean installer from their forums.

I did the gitlab move as well, around the time MS bought them (within that week).

No.
And ytdl still works.

Also, as an aside, Java on 32-bit PPC Linux is an awful experience. Python performs far better on it. I also hate writing Java code, so I'll definitely pass on that. Cool that it's an option at any rate.

This isn't new information, but bluetooth is a hot steaming pile of garbage.

Also, NVIDIA? More like novidia: [www.phoronix.com] https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news...nux-5.9-Delayed

Wtf is a GPL condom and taint module.

Wtf is a GPL condom and taint module.

"GPL condom:"
Essentially, the Linux kernel marks some interfaces/API calls as being for GPL-compatible software only. If your code is not under GPL-compatible terms, you're not supposed to be allowed to use those kernel interfaces when writing a driver module.
[lwn.net] https://lwn.net/Articles/769471/

The kernel has had EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for fifteen years now, Kroah-Hartman said; its use is not mandatory. It is generally meant to apply to core functions that cannot be used without the user being a derived work of the kernel. But whether that is the case for specific functions is not always obvious.

The gist of it is that if you're doing things that are very low-level inside the kernel, it should not be from a proprietary module.

Code that isn't "GPL" or compatible is considered to "taint" the kernel, and is supposed to not be allowed to access symbols from the kernel that (in the developers' opinion) would likely be used to create a "derivative work."

Essentially, if I'm reading correctly, it appears Nvidia was doing some low-level stuff in the kernel for their proprietary drivers by writing a tiny stub "GPL wrapper" that just shuffled data to and from their proprietary code. Thus the "GPL condom" prevents the kernel from getting pregnant (tainted) but still allows for penetration.

They went through all that effort, and their closed drivers are still not terribly good or better than the open ones..

They are for newer cards, but only because they require signatures on some bits of firmware to actually use all the features on the new cards, and nvidia won't sign off on Nouveau's open-source firmware. Also, Nouveau has never had nearly as good of performance, although I used it happily for years on a Kepler card.

Post-750 Ti (Maxwell 1), nvidia with nouveau goes to shit. And even on the 750 Ti you have to manually re-clock it from debugfs IIRC.

Any Paypal users here can confirm that email address is correct? If so, I have to wonder how phishers managed to impersonate Paypal's real email address.

Addresses can be spoofed. Just go to your paypal account to login to verify, do not click any links in the email.

Official emails also use your name, and the alias is usually service@paypal.com not PayPal Support?

do I trust Geforce experience optimal settings? I have I7-7700K, gtx 1080ti & 16Gb ram. I just bought Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and the optimal settings was the lowest in every department. I run at 3840x2160 resolution as my pc is hooked to my tv...

Never.

No; just do it yourself.
I didn't even install "experience" when I was using Windows (XP, in 2014).

They should have added: "PS: did anybody see my false teeth?" at the end (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I can't remember who I lent my Wii to four years ago.

a free cheap fast internet quota.

I got a bigger screen at some point, but even now, to read a manga as images files from my bed (let's say around 2 meters away from screen), it still seems too small.
I wonder what would be the ideal size for that.

I wonder how much it'll cost to get 6G when it's available
