Most companies I’ve worked at where employees had a Microsoft work computers. They were under heavy control, even with admin privileges.

Could be things to execute. They may run a shell script (source it if they don’t have exec permission), but they won’t have all the previleged commands (definitely no dd)
I currently have a Thinkpad W530 with a Quadro K2000M. Because I have coreboot as its firmware, I am able to run completely on the discrete GPU. So far I’ve been doing great.
I’ve looked on the feature matrix of the nouveau support and my GPU (Kepler) happens to have all the features checked-off, with the exception of dynamic power management (mostly WIP).
Right now, I’m running KDE wayland with the nouveau driver with no issue.
On the other hand, I’ve tried having the hybrid GPU and it sucks.
I would like to set up an online platform for users, within my niche hobby of interest, to blog about their activities. (notice the hosting company only has FTP access and databases - no SSH)...
Not sure if this fits your exact need, but I’ve been running my blog on Grav CMS. It’s really easy to setup as it uses flat file to store your content instead of database. You could just download a tarball, extract it, point your HTTP server (and php-fpm) to it, and see it on your web browser. If you know your PHP, you could even customize a theme.
Anyways, feel free to check out my blog: timkenhan.co
The backlash was immediate, but it didn’t stop the BBC from using text generated by LLMs—and purportedly checked and copy-edited by a human before approval—in two marketing emails and mobile push notifications to advertise Doctor Who. But now, the corporation will stop the experimentation entirely after a wave of official...
It all began with me saving some coffee waste because I heard that it’s good for… plants, or something… Then it got covered in mold. So I looked into what to do with moldy pile of coffee ground and that’s when I learned about it.
I started by putting the moldy coffee ground in a bucket. Then I incorporated green kitchen scraps that wouldn’t get too wet like onion skin, bokchoy root, and some dried leaves from the yard. After a while it became like soil (even smell like it), and that’s when I knew I succeeded.
Right now I am onto a new batch. I tried something different this time with fruit scraps as well as eggshell. I also put some shallots that I thought was going bad. Instead of rotting, it sprouted in that pile. Guess it shows that it’s good for something, right?
I make coffee everyday. I brew about two teaspoon of coffee once a day, sometimes twice.
I’d say I’d never generate too much coffee ground as it’s really easy to handle. It pretty much has everything it needs to make compost, yet it can also help other stuff too, be it onion peel, banana peel, green onion bottom, eggshell, ash, you name it!
I recently found that it really goes well with leftover fruit pulps. My wife likes to make juice and would filter it sometimes. That leftover would then sit there fermenting for a few days. In a few days the spoiling fruit smell disappeared. I think I found one of the best combination I could find!
Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

I’m currently using LMDE on Thinkpad W530 for work. Pretty much stationary, with second monitor and all. I got a more mobile X230 with 9 cell battery (same OS) for when I need to be on the move.
That i7 on the W540 would be very useful if you want to have good compilation time for your system.
No, that’s pashmina. You’re thinking of Italian food made from flour, eggs and water and shaped in different forms, usually cooked and served with a sauce.

How are nvidia gpus with wayland nowadays? I read a while ago it was terrible, has it improved?
I’m considering switching from Windows 10 to something either using KDE or the new Cosmic DE that System76 is working on. Right now I’ve got a 3060TI.
Do you have advice for hosting public or maybe even federated blogging?
