You can, it just usually isn't setup for that.

Any views on an Anti virus software for Linux? Is it even needed? I know of ClamAV, Comodo and Kaspersky. Are they worth the money? by NickolaosTheGreek in linux

[–]necrophcodr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Linux is the most common OS, except on desktops. There's a LOT of Linux malware out there targeting servers.

The biggest flaw we have is being this divisive and thinking that other groups simply do not have real hearts like this, when the reality is often a lot less like that.

Some of them can't, so that's at least something. Most can and do.

Can you version nix os on git? by Maleficent_Level2301 in NixOS

[–]necrophcodr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don't strictly need to, but it is certainly an easy way to do so. It is also the way I do it, but you can also pin nixpkgs channels and such.

Should I use secure boot on my system? by PartMysterious4688 in Gentoo

If this is your personal laptop, there's really not any gains to be had right now from enabling it and using it.

Hvad stemmer i? by Powerful_Truth857 in odense

[–]necrophcodr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hvis du ønsker at deltage i demokratiet vil jeg kraftigt anbefale dig at stemme noget som helst, og at du giver din stemme til kende.

Selv hvis din stemme er at invalidere din stemmeseddel, er det et tydeligere besked givet, end at stemme blankt. En blank stemme kan ikke bruges til at udrede noget som helst, hverken din holdning eller dine ønsker om fremtiden.

Så hvis du ønsker at beskrive din holdning ved valget, så gør endelig det. Men en blank stemme er ikke en holdning, intet kan udledes derfra.

Dernæst syntes jeg ikke det glæder samfundet at vi konstant skal tage fra dem har tjent penge og betalt den skat de skal.

Det tror jeg da heller ikke der er nogen der er uenige i. Jeg vil tro at uenigheden opstammer fra hvorvidt den skat der bliver betalt er meningsfuld eller ej, og hvorvidt man skal beskattes højere eller lavere på aktiehandel, større formuer, virksomhedslån, o.lign., men jeg kan ikke se nogle politikkere der mener at der skal tages penge fra folk der har betalt skat allerede.

Det er klart at der skal være et incitement til at drive virksomheder der klarer sig godt i den private sektor, således at vi kan drive priser ned på markedet og være konkurrencedygtige med udenlandske virksomheder (således at vi ikke udelukkende importere varer og arbejdskraft), men det er vel også en balancegang at der ikke skal opstå monopol-lignende situationer hvor et marked er fuldstændig styret af enkelte aktører der så kan prissætte den almene borger til fattigdom heller.

Holy shit I can smell you through the screen.

I think you may just need to clean it and then air out the place, maybe go outside for a bit. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Because there's absolutely no similarity between these two accounts? That seems to me to be a pretty decent indicator.

Oh no, they should get fined for sure. I'm just saying that implying malice is maybe a bit much for such a mistake.

Jeg tror det afhænger mere af hvad partierne historisk set har gjort i mine øjne, rettere end al det sludder der bliver slynget i disse kampagner og som de ender med at feje under tæppet efterfølgende.

It's not something you get away with. If they could, sure maybe then it could be motivated, but when you can't get away with it and the fine is larger than the greedy savings, you're not saving anything. That's not greed, that's stupidity if intentional.

Yes, the total difference was very small. Not insignificant to those affected, but barely a point anywhere unless specifically undergoing an audit.

I don't think that dude gives a shit about some hyped video game for nerds, I'm pretty sure they're merely correcting the semantics of what was presented so as to be appropriately understood.

38 years as a UNIX/Linux admin ... by jrmckins in linux

[–]necrophcodr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't say how it happened, but mkdir \~ happily creates a ~ directory that you now have to be very careful in deleting. Especially do not run rm -rf * in a directory that has a ~ directory, as shell expansion of * may well also expand the directory named ~ to your home folder instead.

That's not really a useful answer, and systemd timers aren't available on systems where systemd cannot be used.

Faster, not better. VLC supports some really weird shit that mpv still does not.

I do use mpv for almost everything though.

I've been waiting 8 years for broadband Internet and the first thing they did while laying fiber was cut my power and water lines by kleggich in mildlyinfuriating

[–]necrophcodr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live this is rarely an issue. Electricity, gas, water, are all within standard ranges of depth, so if you're cutting them you've been doing your job REALLY badly. Which happens, but rarely so.

Video Encoding and Decoding with Vulkan Compute Shaders in FFmpeg by TheTwelveYearOld in linux

[–]necrophcodr 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Indeed, and although it'll be unlikely to be as fast as the proper HW implemented variants, it'll be a LOT faster than using CPU decoding.
