I believe the fact that it comes up as a “slot” is positive. SATA m.2 connectors don’t show up under slots, they come under "connector"s with type SATA.

The key doesn’t correspond to capability. It’s about the connector’s physical shape. i.e. which side is the lil notch on. B has a notch on the right, M on the left. B & M have a notch on both sides and therefore fits into either connector, but it is limited to PCIex2/SATA speed (i’d guess this won’t matter to you as pciex2 is around 4gbps even on pci1). It also doesn’t mean the length would fit, that’ll be a number like 2230, 2280 etc.

You’d have to check the manual for the motherboard to see if it specifies, but if it’s labelled m.2 PCIe it should work I think. If it only said SATA then it would not work.

You can try dmidecode --type slot on Linux, it should list them as available and presumably specify the type to be PCI express.

I think ultimately you’ll only know when you try, but these may give you some confidence.

There are other means to help this exact issue than just increasing supply.

They could instead re-introduce the government programs (ECO) to insulate homes better - which is just ending - to reduce demand. Pumping heat into a home that has a draft going through it is still just burning money.

Increasing supply instead just fuels speeding up global warming which is contributing to higher energy usage due to requiring more heating/cooling. The same people will be equally affected by those issues, and that’s before even talking about the environmental impact and risks of the actual drilling.

It’s amazing how refried beans manages to walk the line of looking like liquid diarrhea whilst still being jealous for them.

It looks awesome, good use of wood scraps too!

Yes, and that sentiment captures exactly 2 sentences of a many paragraph email. It happens to be the part that can be interpreted most like drama from it, hence its a sensationalist title.

I agree with you, and also consider the current AI setup destructive and unethical all the way from the model creation from mostly stolen data to the data centers to run it with the issue you listed.

I would also prefer if more people spoke up on that to fasten the demise of this current hype.

That being said I also realise that Linux (and therefore the kernel) is incredibly important in a different fight for privacy and owning our own devices. If it were to fall behind because they completely lock themselves off from the admittedly useful aspects of AI, it could backfire in a different way.

I think it’s a lose-lose situation here and he understandably picked the side that’s more impactful for the Linux kernel (and him).

The actual body of his message seems to be more about him taking a stance that AI is a tool and people working on the project are free to choose to use it because it does have technical merit, which he considers the deciding factor in the case of the Linux kernel.

It’s actually a pretty calm and reasonable message, I don’t think the sensationalist title is warranted.

Yes - as long as it’s served quickly after ordering.

I think the distinction you’re looking for is between fast food and junk food.

I think on the face of it this sounds kinda reasonable, 174k is still a pretty comfy salary. I can see the person in charge of 100+ schools earning more than the one in charge of 1-2 though, but I’d much rather the money is spent on the teachers/kids as well.

I have the setup, never found a use for it though.

This may provide the first actual usecase for SUVs in cities. They seem to be about as tall as a child, so presumably invisible for the suv drivers.

Hopefully the robots will get mowed down when trying to cross the street.

Not to agree with him but… They already are and have been for a while?

It is a good point about the bullying never stopping, but there are other ways to look at it as well. For example, online communities can be the escape for kids and a way for them to find support and friends if for some reason they are unable to in person. Sure the bill says they’re aiming not to block chat, but it’s not always a clear cut (e.g. discord, also not universally good or bad either).

I also wonder if removing the social media and the online bullying aspect will simply increase the ferocity of the in-person aspect, or even the overall depth as bullies may assign blame to their victims for them losing access to services.

I agree with the rest of your points, unfortunately it’s evident the goal is not to protect kids but to remove anonymity and cater to the oligarchy - otherwise the government would be pushing social media sites to moderate themselves and service providers to give parents tools for this (or age verification in a manner that doesn’t expose your identity outside of your device aside from the age group flag)

Thank you for the perspective.

I’m surprised parents think this is helping the issue though. I remember being bullied in school and going home after being beaten by other kids, before the time the internet became broadly available or smartphones existing.

Not that I don’t think bullying is a problem, rather that this is duct tape with a side of privacy violation for everyone with barely a thought about how to even do the age verification well.

We are not seeing anything about funding the educational system, trying to attract more teachers, aiming for smaller class sizes, funding activities and clubs or more support for parents to spend time with their kids.

I just wonder who the hell is asking for this from the population? Out of all the things that are being brought up as issues on either side (like immigrants, trans rights, energy, housing crisis, the wars etc) I’ve never seen this being brought up as the thing anyone has wanted.

How have we reached this level of “democracy” where even protesting is banned…

Title is misleading.

The keyword in the article is that new broadband has not gone up. And that’s because every provider offers a massive cut for new customers that you have to argue and threaten them to get even close to as an existing customer.

The actual bill goes up every year for all providers I’ve used, usually above inflation too but not by a massive amount. Still have to change every 5 or so years to “reset” back to a new customer level.

I imagine for visa it doesn’t matter if it buys the correct item, all it matters is that it starts making loads of transactions.

Will be interesting when the scammers figure out how to get it to buy something that a human would obviously notice to be a scam.

I think there is no comprehensive guide because people have varying opinions on what’s “best”. IMO the “best” for everyone is the way that they understand how things work and are comfortable to manage it, regardless of how good or bad someone else says that is.

My recommendation is to just accept you will not get it right first time, you’ll eventually face the issues and limitations of whatever way you picked and have to either rebuild or adapt.

Personally, I’d say choose a starting path of do you want to learn about the various technologies and have maximum potential (and, problems to solve) or do you just want to get some of the common apps running and don’t care how as long as they run and be limited by what’s available, but with much fewer issues. Path 1 is following the docker/proxmox path and it may take a lot of reading and watching YouTube tutorials before you get somewhere, path 2 is aiming for something like casaOS or similar and probably watching their getting started will get you results faster but if something breaks or is not available, you may get stuck.

Last, pick 1 thing that’s your goal and work on getting that there. There is no right order, but the more popular something is the more resources there will there be. https://selfh.st/apps/ is a great resource for finding things. Jellyfin is actually pretty easy to start with and gives you some good paths forward around it (e.g. start with you manually getting your media in the right place, then you can work on adding other apps that will do it for you). I’d advise to avoid self hosting email, it’s rather difficult.

Once you grasp how things work, it becomes a shopping mall of just add what you want, it’s just climbing that hill at least once that’s hard if you’re not from a tech background.

It’s all good, we can’t look at imgur anymore and that’s just as important as food.

Starmer said the plan meant the UK would become the first country in the world to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images.

Oh yeah for sure, definitely how it’s gonna work out. If history has taught us anything it’s that teenagers give up easily and aren’t at all persistent and innovative when it comes to being told no. And surely they don’t care about porn at all either.

After all, the online safety bill has been a sweeping success. Something to be proud of.
