    Linux The Linux Mint Thread

    Oh yes, Ubuntu LTS is what I use (I mean distros that are based on that)... and cool thing is the latest 6.8 series kernels with 24.04 LTS (and I think also now with 22.04 series) has lots of improvements, including, to my pleasant surprise, better ACPI power management for Zen 2... My CPU used...

    Looking for a free file manager with these features

    +1 for KDE Dolphin (if it runs well on Windows) though it's not on the Windows App Store like some other kool KDE apps (Filelight, Okular etc)... I was also thinking of one of the "xxxx commander" named file managers, can't remember the exact name. . And I pasted the OP question into...

    Linux The Linux Mint Thread

    If anyone wants the benefits of rolling release (latest software, hardware support etc) without the headaches Arch used to give me then try openSUSE Tumbleweed ... You can run GNOME or KDE on it, very polished, easy to setup and run as daily driver. Not without its (breakage) risks though quite...

    Linux Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS upgrade

    This is a great website (Ubuntu Handbook) see https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2024/08/upgrade-to-ubuntu-2404-1/ But I always prefer fresh install every time because I run LTS based distros so it's only every couple of years effort for a couple of hours. Also, I don't trust upgrade process...

    AnandTech shutting down after more than 2 decades in tech journalism

    In this video he recommends www.chipsandcheese.com ... I guess this could become the next AT to fill the void?

    How to launch a big cloud VM with GPUs to run AI workloads?

    Hi @asingh no I don't think I looked at p series at AWS it was the g6 series iirc so I can't really advise, sorry. Probably best to avoid on prem unless you have your reasons to prefer it. AWS is king (I guess) but as a casual explorer I liked the Azure UI seems a bit easier to navigate and...

    How to launch a big cloud VM with GPUs to run AI workloads?

    . Just a follow up to mention I tried https://fly.io and was able to run the llama 3.1 405b parameter (230 GB) workload with ollama.com on beefy GPU instances after some initial hurdles. They're apparently quite low cost too. Impressed with them especially as they seem to be a small operation...

    Jio Airfiber feedback?

    Try getting Airtel AirFiber instead - Jio is hit or miss for many users - and they refuse to refund people facing issues. I have the 100 mbps 899 plan but use it as backup when my primary wired connection goes down so can't say for certain but whatever/whenever I have used the connection...

    Try using regular expression in your "location" directive like this: location ~ ^/squaremap/?$ And keep your tailing slash in the proxy_pass directive like this: proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:39000/; . As for your first 3 questions all I can say is try nginx alternatives if you can. I've...

    I believe "matchbox" is/was the brand name and nicknamed "dinky" cars... I used to have/play with them. I guess this was before hotwheels came about?

    AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X review roundup : Confusing and all over the place

    At the end of KitGuruTech's latest video (9950X review) he mentions some tweets about observed increased core-to-core (or CCD-to-CCD) latency (or something like that) being much higher than Zen 4 and hoping that it's not inherently a hardware defect rather something with the OS. If hardware...
