ok, I changed the ip address in dns so let’s


  • restart nscd
  • restart sssd
  • restart dnsmasq
  • restart the web browser for good measure

wait, what the gently caress? why didn’t it refresh?

let’s check resolv.conf and trace the path of how these queries get resolved

gently caress, systemd again!

also, systemd-resolved messes up vpn configurations because it doesn’t consult the vpn’s dns server to resolve anything if at any point it fails to reach it (such as, for instance, the vpn is down and needs to be reconnected)

so systemd-resolved has been nothing but a headache for me and it’s the first thing I disable if I encounter any dns issues on a desktop or server

"must be readable without a gui" doesn't imply "must be readable in an 80x25 console"

are you guys regularly using 80-column screens?

on IBM PC derived platforms, 80×25 text mode is guaranteed to be available and usable by default at early boot on almost all hardware ever made that other than a Mac or similar workstation (e.g. Intergraph or Silicon Graphics NT workstations)

lisp at every level is not going to happen now, but i personally think systemd would have done well to look at that kind of system for inspiration. the kernel being a very tight low-level monolith is proven quite correct, but i do think it would have made more sense to make the userland piece of the system higher level, more dynamic and composable, rather than extending the kernel mindset up another level.

something like systemd was unavoidable, but it is in some ways lower-level than the competitor systems designed a lot longer ago, which does not obviously make sense.

thats what it would look like if you had a vertical mount pci-e extension cable type thing, but the majority will be mounting it directly into the board resulting in a horizontal mount. In that orientation the "top" of the card points towards the viewer with the pins seated in the board on the opposite side so it reads correctly

i am real pleased that intel seems to be sticking to the gpus, at least the software side keeps improving.

intel might be a david to amd's goliath and both blips compared to nvidia (as far as the stock market is concerned anyway), but i do have some faith that they have a good collection of greybeards that cash still turn out good stuff.

i mean, whole reason to post that is that i think it is rather bonkers. intel has a series of fuckups that has hurt them for a long time, but i think the basics of the company (and one of the basics being that it is the greatest friend linux has ever known) remain the same. nvidia owns the gpu compute space, but the amount of money in suppleanting cuda has now grown huge enough that it will almost certainly happen.

e.g. intel arc just having been made first-class supported by pytorch.

while i appreciate the spirit that is such a minimizing take on what intel has done in the linux space. like it is the one company that has reliably had vendor drivers for almost everything for 30 years, to a point that most linux nerds can immediately remember the two exceptions (and that's two exceptions from a company that has shipped roughly 9 billion pieces of hardware, standards, and reference platforms)

oh, i didn't mean to be reductive, it just uses most of their optimized versions of e.g. python by default, which speeds things up quite a bit, allows things like the oneAPI suite to be installed easily, mostly uses hardware acceleration wherever possible, etc.

you know, things that'd have to at the very least be configured on some other distro

doesn't hurt that the chromebooks i've been running it on are basically intel reference designs, so yeah, the hardware is very well supported

(except for that goddamned fingerprint reader. i'll get it to work someday :argh:)

basically what i meant is, if you want to see what intel's vision of a well-oiled linux distro is, install clear (or liveboot it or whatever)

the difference really is palpable

powervr for sure, the second i think was really notable was the ipu6 webcam (very recent) which had intel platform laptops webcams just barely work on linux on launch. like, effort was made (in both cases), but it did not work out that well.
