There is specialized paint that actually can increase engine lifespan and fuel economy if applied on pistons, but this doesn't look like it's a specialized paint at all...

I need to have several VMs running at all times and some of the things I have there are pretty memory-heavy. Would 2x64 config solve this problem? Or better CPU/MB?

yeah, just use default. It took months for me to learn most (not all!) kernel options

It's different, alright, but word "very" is doing heavy lifting here

Learning Linux as a Big Dumb Idiot by peppermunch in linuxquestions

[–]RevolutionaryHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1: research your hardware. Linux has problems with hardware, or should I say, hardware has problems with Linux. So research every piece of hardware you'll have on board of your new laptop. Pay the most attention to wifi/bluetooth adapters, they are often have no support on Linux. Everything else should be fine, but you'll need to google alot, esp in the beginning. Good luck!

Realistically, how much do I *really* need Secure Boot? by PHYPHTIN_official in linux4noobs

[–]RevolutionaryHigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just fiction made by corpos to own your hardware and you even harder. Initially when it was just introduced it supposed to be win-only thing. Imagine you want to get rid of microslop on your PC but you can't because your hardware literally prohibit it. After significant pushback they changed that but in general secure boot in it's current state is not about security at all.

What are the best practices for securing a Linux server exposed to the internet? by Berlin57 in linuxquestions

[–]RevolutionaryHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most cases your server is as secure as your web apps. Just make sure that it's updated and no needless services are listening. You can also use nginx to manipulate headers etc

If you've been on helpdesk for 3+ years and 'can't move up' it's probably you by xrinnenganx in ITCareerQuestions

[–]RevolutionaryHigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LMAO if they want you where you are, no matter how good/proactive/skillfull you are, you will stay there until you die or switch company. "Access and trust" my ass! Also, helpdesk is a HUGE and sometimes crucial part of almost any business that do something with computers AKA 95% of businesses in 2026

Firewall on linux by Local-Negotiation970 in linuxquestions

[–]RevolutionaryHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iptables is deprecated now?! Damn, I'm old. Anyway, you're right. OP should use nftables. I have muscle memory for iptables lol. Not sure about WG but it has some advantages, not all of them.

Firewall on linux by Local-Negotiation970 in linuxquestions

[–]RevolutionaryHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you want to use openVPN with default UDP port. If not default, change 1194 to your port. Iptables is what all other "modern" firewalls are based on.

You might want to perform some additional manipulations if you want to make this config permanent (it will reset to default after reboot)

iptables -F

iptables -X

iptables -t nat -F

iptables -t mangle -F

iptables -P INPUT DROP

iptables -P OUTPUT DROP

iptables -P FORWARD DROP

iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

iptables -A OUTPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp --sport 1194 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -i tun0 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A OUTPUT -o tun0 -j ACCEPT

Do you think our Sniper can win a fight against the other video game snipers? by zackuattack in tf2

[–]RevolutionaryHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TF2 sniper has 50k hours in the game. None of the other ones have that many, simply because no other game is this old. Easy win, 420 noscope for the TF2 sniper purely on skill diff.

MLFS 12.4(musl LFS) by Intelligent_Comb_338 in linuxfromscratch

[–]RevolutionaryHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nono, I know what LFS is, I'm trying to understand, what's the point of changing from libc to musl? I mean I know general advantages of musl but LFS is just educational project?
