Poland I imagine is a tremendous exponent of South Korea’s arms industry.
I always thought of arms procurement as a tedious and slow process but the Polish/Korean agreements have turned that on its head in my eyes.
Simultaneously supplying new tanks, artillery, and munitions, while quickly standing up local factories to build them in Poland too is impressive, undoubtedly giving the Polish government some well needed breathing room.
Given that the technical package is included here, there must be some form of non-competition clause
XFS as implemented in RHEL8+ (the only places i've used it in anger) tends to handle being full very badly, leading to system lockups and blocked tasks necessitating a hard reboot. Worse yet is when it's in this state the journal fills and nothing can be done with the volume.
To recover from this on a volume mounted at boot mandates going to either a live disk, or stopping boot in initramfs and running xfs_repair there, I've fruitlessly attempted to play back the journal on many separate occasions by attempting to mount the filesystem (again causing a lock up due to no space) in that state you have to drop the journal, run xfs_repair and then clean up the detritus from /lost+found (and then the location that caused the disk to fill altogether).
EXT4 has other issues certainly, but at least it reserves blocks for the root user explicitly so the system doesn't stop.
Apple’s AMD GPU driver had issues gracefully handling hot plugging monitors via thunderbolt. It reliably panic’d every other time I plugged in my ‘19 16” machine to a thunderbolt 3 dock.
As a blow in to New York, I find the bodega cats a very charming tradition. Reminding me of “tough as old boots” farm cats, working animals with a purpose and a style all their own.
That won’t work for the home hobbyist 2.4KW of GPU alone plus a 350W threadripper pro with enough PCIe lanes to feed them. You’re looking at close to twice the average US household electricity circuit’s capacity just to run the machine under load.
A cluster of 4 Apple’s M3 ultra Mac studios by comparisons will consume near 1100W under load.
It has a HDMI port and its USB-C ports also support display out. But I believe most who buy it intend to use it headless. The machine runs Ubuntu 24.04 and has a slightly customised Gnome (green accents and an nvidia logo in GDM) as its desktop.
Fortnite is 9 years old this year. Epic brought in biblical amounts of money from just this one property over this time. Where and how did they spend this money?
Tangentially related, that screenshot of Screamer 2 caught me off guard completely, I loved that game to death, and I feel I was the only one of my friends to have played it. Tremendous handling model and superb music.
Strix Halo’s unified setup is pretty cool. In systems with 128GB of memory, in BIOS set the dedicated GPU memory to the smallest permitted and the Drivers will use the whole main memory pool appropriately in Linux and Windows
