  • Oh no, Ramiel is already here!

  • Why doesn't Mongolia simply arrest Putin?
  • Probably they want to become a part of the Russian world one day.

  • Bitcoin Layer-2 Network Stacks Begins Nakamoto Upgrade
  • It doesn't deserve to be categorized as L2.

  • Would you rather fight a lion-sized ant, or 1,000 ant sized lions?
  • I would pat a cat-sized plush antlion instead.

  • What's with the downvotes in here?
    1. Do not give much attention to downvotes. There are many crypto haters over the network who will use their chance to downvote if they see a non-negative crypto related post.

    2. r/Monero is a place of tribalistic circlejerk. I downvote promotional, tribalist or maximalist posts while upvote good informational and technical posts, news, etc.

  • Hyprland's Developer Is Not A Fan Of COSMIC Desktop
  • I don't really care about his opinion opinion, but maybe nazis will listen.

  • Featured

  • So it goes in a wrong direction from the start.

  • Haiku OS is what Linux used to be.
  • No. I can't remember when Linux used to be a conservative swamp driven by pure nostalgia.

  • You Should Show Grave of the Fireflies to Your Kids
  • But we (will) have 'Grave of the Fireflies' at home...

  • Android games for girls?
  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a perfect game for girls. And yes, you can care for pets there.

  • Trump promotes family's new crypto platform, 'The Defiant Ones'
  • Will it become as successful as Trust Social?

  • Is Qubes any more efficient in resource usage than a typical VM?
  • It is not like 'very limited'. But generally they are focused around modern Intel CPU, and can have issues on new AMD CPU. And it won't work on very old CPUs without proper virtualization features.

    https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/ can hint on what Qubes will work better.

    Also see the system requirements: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/system-requirements/

  • Is Qubes any more efficient in resource usage than a typical VM?
  • Probably, yes. Qubes AppVMs don't run the whole DE inside it. Also, Qubes uses automatic memory balancing for VMs, so users doesn't need to care about it much.

  • Lemmy vs. PieFed vs. Mbin
  • Sorting order preferences.

  • Lemmy vs. PieFed vs. Mbin
  • Threadiverse? I didn't hear this name, I think it can be confused with Meta's threads.net. But I don't like Lemmy, and don't want the network to be named after it. For example we don't call Fediverse as Mastodonverse.

    As for Mbin, UI looks good, a feature showing similar threads is useful. But it is quite new yet, many important options are missed in the preferences yet.

  • Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?
  • Yes, they should ideally. But it's hard to properly implement them in a way that will guarantee anonymity and be sybil-resistant at the same time.

  • Are you happy with your username?
  • I'm not. And I won't be with another either.

  • Any recommendations against Sinkclose on older CPUs?

    As AMD has no intentions to release a patch for the Ryzen 3000 series and bellow, what users can do to protect themselves?

    I can assume few things:

    1. Do not run any untrusted software and closed source software in general.

    2. Do not run untrusted OSes and distros. Also disable ability to boot from external devices.

    3. Sandboxing (e.g. flatpaks) won't give you any protection, as it does not protect against kernel exploits.

    4. VMs can give defense if you need to run untrusted apps. Probably it is good to run networking apps in a VM also.

    What else? What about web browsers? What you are going to do with affected devices if you have them?
