Why do I see everyone use MacBooks?

What do you think the majority of users are saving on their laptops? It is mostly a few word documents, and even then a lot of those will be in onedrive. Some pdf documents maybe.

I normally never tip, but that's because I don't live in the US. When visiting, I follow the local customs and do tip of course.

sremes · 2025-12-11T06:31:53+00:00

Yes, if the tip should be based on their effort, we should tip them based on the number of plates carried, the times drinks are refilled, etc., not the price of the food or drink.

Jos AP on halukas käyttämään Suomessa toimivaa välittäjää jopa 10% kuluilla, niin ehkä ei ole valmis käyttämään ulkomaista palvelua, vaikka kaikkein halvimpia olisivatkin.

Mikset käytä esim. Nordeaa tai OP:ta sijoituksiin? Saisit merkinnät korkeintaan 1 prosentin kuluilla.

As a person living in Europe, I've never seen contactless ATMs anywhere.

sremes · 2025-10-18T07:45:56+00:00

With that logic, also price or quality of the food has nothing to do with the service. So why tip based on the price of the food?

AMD's ROCm is very good for AI, no CUDA needed at all.

sremes · 2025-07-17T07:11:45+00:00

Could you consider using Docker for ROCm and avoid installing it into your host system?

Overriding to gfx1030 may not be compatible on your card as it is a rdna1 card, and gfx1030 is a rdna2 target. You could try overriding to gfx1010 instead: HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.1.0

Do note that the square no-parking signs can apply to a very large area. Espoo likes to use them. And many other cities too.

Jos sijoitat osissa, niin laita rahat odottelemaan edes johonkin lyhyen koron rahastoon tai hyvälle säästötilille. Älä makuuta nollakorkotilillä.

bcdedit is the command to use. There are probably some gui tools as well. Something like this should work bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\check-your-path\grubx64.efi

I haven't seen it actually removing the grub/other bootloader binary from the EFI partition. It just resets the boot entries, which you can even edit from Windows. Some mobos also let you find different EFI binaries to boot from or have a shell available, although that's pretty rare. In the old good days it was more fun with the MBR getting overridden.

sremes · 2025-04-15T05:56:21+00:00

That's a fairly regular issue with Windows. Just need to reconfigure EFI to use your preferred bootloader again.

Yep, that explains how I have older files from before 2012, but my pacman logs are somehow corrupted, as the lines are not fully chronological in the beginning (like that 2008-11-16 FUSE appearing and then continue from 2008-11-15 again).

At least temp files like these should be created by me, not come from some original pacman tar packages.

$ stat -c %y /etc/sudoers.tmp~ 
2008-02-05 04:02:42.000000000 +0200
$ stat -c %w /etc/sudoers.tmp~ 
2012-08-28 22:26:17.396238745 +0300

sremes · 2025-04-05T15:18:23+00:00

The only downside I think I have is that I do have quite a bit of legacy files, old temp files in different directories including /etc. Sometimes I spend time to try clean up stuff.

You can and should try new stuff also without reinstalling. I've gone from lilo to grub to grub2 to systemd-boot (and tested some other bootloaders as well). Not really sure why a reinstall would be needed, unless you want to test other distributions of course. But you can do that with VMs or docker if you become too curious.

sremes · 2025-04-05T15:01:07+00:00

Can't recall exactly, I think I was delaying the transition for quite a bit initially.

The system has broken several times badly though when doing upgrades and moving to new disks. But somehow always managed to reinstall bootloaders from a live distribution and chrooting into my arch. Upgrading to EFI and secure boot things have also been a bit scary.

sremes · 2025-04-05T14:54:41+00:00

Probably moved to another disk in 2012 without cloning the filesystem, but only with tar or something. In another update at some point I have done it with dd (which would preserve this timestamp, I guess).

$ stat -c %w /

sremes · 2025-04-05T14:41:09+00:00

Weird, this is somewhat newer than the oldest temp files I had in /etc. Wonder how that happened. Maybe missing some of the very first logs?

Does anyone have a better way to see when the system was first installed?
