@heleos Linux will do fine too.

@teppa Interface between chiplets still introduces latency. Perhaps photonics will eventually overcome this but it is currently an issue with chiplet designs.

@Cris_Color Everybody makes it out like Intel is doomed. It will do fine.

@cm0002 This site, friendica.eskimo.com/, is running on an 18 core 36 thread CPU clocked at 4.5Ghz with 256GB of RAM, the CPU itself cost me less than $400, can’t find anything close in that price range from AMD and sure as hell not Crapple.

@cm0002 You know about one cookie / two cookie children, those who are willing to delay gratification for a larger long term reward? Intel has always been a two cookie company, their investment in high numerical aperture extreme ultra violate fabs being a case in point. This is going to make them competitive with ASML and domestically to boot which means if China does take over Taiwan they’ll be in an extra good place, not that I believe this is likely. But I believe this investment will serve them well in the long term even if it means some short term pain.

@cm0002 I notice this has the same remote ID format as AnyDesk, are these in anyway interoperable?

@cm0002 Running 6.15.5 self compiled kernel, had some stability issues in 6.14 that didn’t resolve even up to end of life, but have not had this issue with 6.15.

@cm0002 All of the Redhat derivatives, including Alma dropped NIS support after 8, which is why my Alma server is still at Alma 8. They expect us to “upgrade” into LDAP but LDAP makes things unnecessarily complicated, like changing login shells, so a no go.

@ruffsl I have no bandwidth quota on my vps’s, only memory and disk. See eskimo.com/services/virtual-pr… further our shared hosting is extremely robust, this friendica site runs on it, friendica.eskimo.com/ and runs around 7-16 hits/second (between slow and peak times) and response time is generally between 240-500ms which is better than most major providers. It is doable, for me the big issue is you are proxying https, is that data getting un-encrypted / re-encrypted in the chain? If so do you really want them looking at all of your traffic?

@ruffsl I see no desirability to putting a man-in-the-middle of a web connection. Cloud flare = cloud censor and spy.

@cheese_greater Golden Path (Chemical Brothers)…

@ikidd @cm0002 This is the major reason I prefer the lighter desktops, Mate, XFCE, LXDE, LXQT to monstrocities like KDE Plasma, Gnome (especially as configured by Ubuntu, less unpleasant on other distros), and yea, I know that Gnome and KDE can both be configured to not be so obnoxious but time in the day thing.

@cm0002 Not my favorite but a reliable fallback when Mate breaks.

@cm0002 Yes I have tried it, I am using Ubuntu 24.04, if I use Wayland, X-forwarding does not work, if I use the Intel Xorg X server, it does.

@solardirus Yes, RDP, VNC, and SPICE do not USE X redirection so naturally they will work fine, but try this, while you are on one server using wayland, ssh -Y server into another, and then launch xsol or xclock or synaptic or any other X-application.

@solardirus @cm0002 Someone already attempted to make Wayland Network, it’s called Wayland on Wires, but it just kind of fizzled. Wayland users aren’t real Linux users, they’re gamers, outcasts from Windows and they really should have stayed there. Xorg users by contrast are people using Linux to do real work, over the network, which is where X shines and Wayland fails outright, so it is good that XLibre exists.

@cm0002 I find it sad that people act this way but honestly, Redhat has always impressed me as being intrinsically evil, perhaps just slightly less evil than the likes of Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, etc, but evil none the less.

I remember the old days of Xfree86 and the fork that became Xorg, so not the first
time through this and I look forward to Xlibre becoming a viable and functional
replacement for Xorg that, unlike Wayland, networks.

@Fredselfish I have not personally used it, I’ve just seen it advertised as working with LibreOffice.

@Fredselfish Is Prowriter same as ProwritingAid? If so yes, if not I don’t know.
