preliminary NOVA driver code merged for the future Rust-written open-source NVIDIA kernel driver.
Is this based on the existing open-source driver (https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules) or will it be entirely new?
I miss the old Digg sometimes. Maybe it's because life was simpler for me back then. Their poor redesign in 2010 is what led me to Reddit, which is what led me to Lemmy.
I didn't realise it's only visible to server admins. I run my own server, and it seems like server admins can view the votes on any comment, not just comments on their server.
What I haven't checked is if non-admins can load the vote data, and it's just the button in the UI that's hidden.
Although since Lemmy votes are public, it does take some restraint to not message people that downvote your comments/posts and ask them why.
Yeah I don't think the multi-select listboxes have really changed much since the days of Internet Explorer 3 and Netscape Navigator. Out of all the standard form components you can use in HTML, it's probably the one most in need of improvements.
I've used software where you have to ctrl click but I'm not sure I've ever come across another website where this is the case
This is the standard behaviour on the web for lists where you can select multiple options. See the example here for instance: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/select#advanced_select_with_multiple_features
Most sites have a custom version though, since the built-in HTML element has such a poor user experience. I really wish browsers would just switch it to be a list with checkboxes.
The behaviour was based on Windows desktop apps in the 90s (where this behaviour was way more common), but after a while, most things switched to checkbox lists instead.
Realistically the solution would be instances moving away from the Lemmy 'brand'
This is a great idea, and I think some instances do this. I seem to remember Beehaw taking this approach. Similar to forums - each forum has a different name even if they use the same software.
The tricky part for regular users to understand is that if they sign up on one server, they can still access content on others. Old-school internet users that used to use Usenet would understand it (Usenet functioned the same way) but the majority of users are used to centralized services these days, which makes it hard.
My only thought here is the words like federation and instances getting people hung up. Maybe join-lemmy.org being a highly ranked site is doing more harm than good by creating an additional barrier to the instances and content.
The thing is, that's a fundamental feature of Lemmy. It's designed such that no one person or company controls the whole thing. Admins that have differing opinions can each have their own servers with whatever rules they want.
That makes it somewhat incompatible with a a basic signup page like what you're proposing, just like you can't have a generic "sign up for email" page without picking a specific provider. Having a huge number of users on a single server somewhat defeats the purpose of decentralization - you're back to a small number of people / a company having control over a major part of the ecosystem.
Perhaps it could redirect people to a randomly selected instance from a hand-picked list, but maybe that'd be even more confusing? I'm not sure.
I don't know anything about this company, but fiber is almost always better than cable. Lower latency, more reliable, and it's usually symmetric (upload speed is the same as download speed).
must be doing some construction on my street because they made survey marks on my property and painted where the gas line and water lines are. Could this be because they are putting in the fiber cables?
It's possible! Those marks means that some sort of digging/excavation is happening nearby. The company that wants to do the work calls a "dial before you dig" service (811 in the USA) and all the utility companies come out and mark their lines.
I hate these proprietary systems because companies have very bad track records in terms of maintenance, since they'd rather you buy a newer product.
In 2022, the automaker told drivers of the affected cars, some only three years old, that a technical solution was delayed by the pandemic. Now, more than two years later, those drivers still don’t have access to telematics services. [...] Vehicles from Hyundai and Nissan, some as late as model year 2019, also lost some features after 2022’s 3G sunset.
In a country with good consumer rights, this would be a valid reason to return it and get a replacement or refund: It's no longer offering functionality that was advertised and that you paid for as part of the purchase price.
and you shouldn't be using any of those, since the order can and will change. The numbers are based on the order the devices and device drivers are initialized in, not based on physical location in the system. The modern approach (assuming you're using udev) is to use the symlinks in /dev/disk/by-id/ or /dev/disk/by-uuid/ instead, since both are consistent across reboots (and by-id should be consistent across reinstalls, assuming the same partitioning scheme on the same physical drives)
This is also why Ethernet devices now have names like enp0s3 - the numbers are based on physical location on the bus. The old eth0, eth1, etc. could swap positions between Linux upgrades (or even between reboots) since they were also just the order the drivers were initialized in.
I couldn't find a "Home Networking" community, so this seemed like the best place to post :)
My house has this small closet in the hallway and thought it'd make a perfect place to put networking equipment. I got an electrician to install power outlets in it, ran some CAT6 myself (through the wall, down into the crawlspace, to several rooms), and now I finally have a proper networking setup that isn't just cables running across the floor.
The rack is a basic StarTech two-post rack (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001U14MO8/) and the shelving unit is an AmazonBasics one that ended up perfectly fitting the space (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09W2X5Y8F/).
In the rack, from top to bottom (prices in US dollars):

Somehow it's the only old-school P2P network that's not only survived, but still thrives even today. So many rare songs on there. It turned 24 years old last month. All the others from the same era (like Napster, Kazaa, Limewire, etc) are long gone. ed2k is still around but mostly dead.
The chat rooms are also old-school unmoderated chat rooms, so expect the worst of humanity to be in there.
If you have a home server, slskd is great. It's an alternate Soulseek app that's a server with a web UI.
