Yeah, I've always found terms like "content" (and by extension "content creator") to be degrading and corporate-focused. It's weird to me that it's such a common way to refer to the work of artists and entertainers online. I don't do anything of the sort, but it's got to be rough being pushed so hard into chasing the algorithms to stay relevant.

I've yet to be disappointed in anything TWRP's put out.

I think they got the nvidia driver accumulation thing straightened out. On Fedora 40, I had it automatically remove a bunch of older versions and now it only lists the 64 and 32 bit versions I expect it to.

$ flatpak list | grep nvidia
nvidia-550-76	org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-550-76		1.4	system
nvidia-550-76	org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-550-76		1.4	system

Edit: looks like it's fixed by this.

As far as I'm aware, CloudLinux is based on CentOS for older versions, and Alma Linux for newer versions, so it would be in the RHEL sphere of things.

They're also the company that launched and continues to sponsor Alma Linux, a community run RHEL compatible distribution.

You might like King Diamond -- Sleepless Nights. Really anything King Diamond or Mercyful Fate, especially off the Songs for the Dead Live tour.

Oh yeah, these guys have some crazy energy they give off. Their live performances are very much like this video, really. Not many bands give you a nunchaku solo.

Not quite the same issue, but similar in the sense that it was caused by a UEFI that didn't conform to spec.

I have an HP laptop that I installed Debian on, and it would never actually boot to grub even though I checked the boot entries several times over. You could open the settings and choose the boot entry manually, so it's not like it was a problem with the OS or with grub. Turned out, this model was hard coded to only allow a boot entry named "Windows Boot Manager" to be loaded by default. I used efibootmgr to rename the debian entry and it booted into grub straight away.

As far as I'm aware, the Truecrypt backdoor thing was speculation regarding the termination of the Truecrypt project, but it was not confirmed. You can see here that development of Truecrypt ceased in 2014. Veracrypt was forked around that time. As for whether or not you can trust it, you'll want to evaluate the audits that have been performed and decide if you trust them. You can find a link to what seems like the latest audit here.

Truecrypt is abandoned, and has vulnerabilities that will not be fixed. Veracrypt is a fork of Truecrypt that is still actively maintained.

It definitely takes a bit to get used to that, especially on the exhale. I found that it became better over time, especially once I was able to stop focusing on the mask and my breathing. I don't use the ramp up personally, as I find it more comfortable for me. Definitely keep at it, and you should be able to talk to your provider if you keep having issues. I had to go through a few settings/mask types to find the right one.

Super Metroid. It's an amazing game if you play it normally, and you can branch out into sequence breaking tricks pretty easily. It basically created/popularized an entire genre of games.

When I say we abide by the various open source licenses that apply to our code, I mean it.

So he's saying that Red Hat intends to abide by licenses such as the GNU GPL, and yet...

Simply rebuilding code, without adding value or changing it in any way, represents a real threat to open source companies everywhere. This is a real threat to open source...

Red Hat is claiming that redistribution (which is explicitly allowed and encouraged by the GPL) is a threat to open source. They are also threatening to penalize customers who do exercise the rights granted to them by the licenses that Red Hat claims that they will "abide by".

According to Red Hat the GNU GPL is a threat to open source. And they think this won't make people angry?
