Introducing UTF-Random — Making Unicode Fair in c/linux@lemmy.ml

UTF-32 is completely fair.

What is the differences between "man" and "info" command in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I completely forgot about info.

Any real benefit to enabling Multi-Gen LRU? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I don’t even use swap anymore. 32gb of ram ought to be enough.

How do you disable machinectl entirely? [solved] in c/linux@lemmy.ml

The worst is that if the ‘wheel’ group is empty, it will give a root shell to absolutely anyone.

It’s not like any place on the internet is all that friendly once it grows more than a couple dozen people.

What are the arch forums?

How do you disable machinectl entirely? [solved] (iusearchlinux.fyi)

I’m mostly interested in disabling the command to create a root shell ‘machinectl shell @root’. Attempting to ‘systemctl disable systemd-machined’ doesn’t work.

Edit:

After some more poking, it seems polkit is the way to do it. Create the file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-deny-machinectl.rules and add the following

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
   if (action.id.startsWith("org.freedesktop.machine1.")) {
         return polkit.Result.NO;
   }
});

The list of all actions you can filter on are in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.machine1.policy

Need help with AMD mesa drivers in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] trachemys@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 points 1 year ago

I have no experience with this, but did some googling. The AMD ROCm installer instructions for Ubuntu are here. You need ROCm for HIP. That installs the entire SDK not just the runtime.

The Arch Wiki says you just need the package hip-runtime-amd. But I can’t find that package for Ubuntu.

There are also HIP installation instructions for PopOS. That’s similar to Ubuntu.

The next CPU and GPU architecture… in c/technology@beehaw.org

Ditching am5 in 2026 would be disappointing. Especially with how expensive am5 boards are. I bet there won’t even be any technical reason for it like we had with a new ddr version.

Don’t update the firmware. In 2022 they released firmware that blocks non genuine toner.

Your script is missing my instance @iusearchlinux.fyi. There are a couple dozen of us there. I can just edit the file of course.

Be careful. New platforms invite bad actors. in c/technology@beehaw.org

That’s because passwd doesn’t store the password hashes. Just user names.

But it sure knows how to sound like it is authoritative. Very convincing.
