  • I don't know off the top of my head. I think that Clonezilla can modify images in such a way as they can be booted on a different type of device. My knowledge of the black magic of boot sectors and partition stuff is lacking. Also, you'd have to make sure the motherboard/BIOS is properly configured for reading the device in the same way that the original device was read. UEFI/BIOS stuff can be a pain in the ass to get right.

    So my short answer is probably, but I wouldn't be able to walk you through something like that. Wish I could be more helpful.

  • Would this work

    Yes.

    or would I have problems

    Also yes.

    I used to do this backing up my "servers". By that I mean some Raspberry Pis and random old PCs running Debian. I even did so successfully when needing to restore the images. But it was fragile and also failed at times, sometimes to great inconvenience when it was a machine serving something important.

    I've since moved to a different backup strategy for servers, but if I were to do this with a bare-metal machine I want to preserve, I'd use something like Clonezilla. The maintainers of that project know a whole heck of a lot more than I do of the ins and outs of disk management, backup, and restoration than I do with my simple dd commands. If it is something you're just wanting to do for fun and experience, dd can work. If you're concerned with the security of your data/image, I'd use Clonezilla.

  • The investors that matter, probably. I have little doubt it will be the "little guy" who has a 401k with Boeing investments that takes the hit. The C-suite executives will have golden parachutes, and anyone powerful/rich enough will either insider trade it away or get bailed out.

  • the dr. who thing?

  • Don't we provide all the weapons? We could definitely stop doing that and at least force Israel to find another source for weaponry if they insist on continuing.

  • Just recommended the audio book to my library. Thanks.

  • figured better to not bother than to “um, akchually” this one

    gonna get the internet police sicked on you for sure.

  • "Both good and bad news about Biden is out there. I prefer to share the bad news. But you know that already." (Emphasis mine)

    I cannot see how that is an admission of bad faith (or dishonest as the mod said in the original post) in any fair interpretation. Unless you are defining "bad faith" as "something I disagree with" or "something that hurts my argument".

  • Looking at the documentation it looks like it relies on Mistral's python tooling to work. I'm fairly dumb, so I don't know if the tool suggestion coming from Mistral is from some kind of separate neural net or as some kind of special response you have to parse (or that their client parses for you?).

  • Very disappointing. This is a politics group, not a news group. Politics is entirely about opinion and views on how to operate society. This is exactly the place for someone to post content that aligns with their political, moral, and philosophical views, even if that doesn't align with your own. There is no such thing as a neutral observer in politics, and trying to force it just biases this group toward what the moderators view as "neutral" through their own biases. While bad faith posting (spam, etc) is a concern, it needs to be clearly defined and distinguished from simply expressing strong political opinions. Silencing voices for perceived bias undermines the purpose of political discussion.

  • Mistral Instruct v0.3 added in function calling, but I don't know if its method for implementation is the same/compatible. Also, it is fairly new and wasn't released all that long ago. Hopefully we'll get there soon. :)

  • Life is like this because its easier on the developers than having to deal with the deluge angry customers losing all their shit to scammers because they use the same 5 character password for every site on the internet.

  • Not even completely removing Windows from your life will help. Anyone you interact with through email or instant message or social media will have screen-scraped copies of the entire interaction. And that would be bad enough if only a single person gets hacked and has their Recall data hijacked. There will be huge databases available that people will be able to freely cross reference. They'll still be able to build a quite extensive profile on you just through all of your interactions that get scraped from others.

  • If borrowers are unable to afford a down payment, that almost certainly means they have very little financial flexibility.

    Possibly. It might also deplete their only source of financial flexibility, too.

  • Oh yeah. I can remember back in the day it could take quite a bit to compile and start these things, especially if you were running at higher resolution and detail values.

  • Doesn't that apply to every project hosted in America, too, though? Every project is subject to the jurisdiction in which it is hosted. And I know they're not the only project that accepts error reports and in-app updates. Unless there is more telemetry involved or tracking of out-of-app activity, I'm not seeing cause for alarm here. Though I'm open to evidence that there is.

  • Plenty of non-white people here that aren't immigrants that are having children.

  • Just because an idea is old, doesn't mean its a bad idea. And we do have mechanisms for modifying the constitution. We just don't do it often because it requires a lot of agreement.

  • Where is everyone calling you a Russian shill now, @return2ozma@lemmy.world? LOL

    edit: My point is that people only give @return2ozma@lemmy.world shit when he post's anything mildly critical of Biden, but not when he posts anything else. Wasn't calling him a Russian shill.

  • I'm actually really surprised they admitted it.

    There's nothing "wrong" with things like this happening, per se. All new tech has growing pains and failures. But for North Korea to actually admit failure in anything is surprising to me. I would have expected them to keep their failures quiet or to blame them on external adversaries.
