  • ICYMI, Unraid now supports internal boot and TPM licensing

    Jump

  • That's pretty neat that the TPM can be used that way, maybe worth migrating over. The flash drive always made me so nervous.

    So after the migration, my boot drive and flash drive could both fail, and I could plug in a new unraid boot/flash drive, it'd read my license, and it'd just work?

  • Do you host your own AI?

  • Neat, what did your setup look like? You mentioned the qwen harness? Run it all on one machine?

  • I think that's part of the joke...

  • Windows 11 hibernation has been silently hammering your SSD this whole time

  • Man discovers feature that has been around since Windows Vista, and decides to write a ragebait article about 20 year old technology.

  • Bill that would mandate AI chip location tracking gains industry support

    Jump

  • Seriously Chinese models and chips right now are because the sudden bargoes told them they couldn't keep relying on us tech. The us has been doing an exceptional job at convincing governments and people that they should not be dependent on the US, as we apparently will rugpull at any moment.

  • Anthropic is rolling out identity verification for certain capabilities beginning July 8, 2026

    Jump

  • Probably not, as they have a level of guarantee from the company that everything is work related and nationalities are verified. If anything were to be flagged they would send it to the admin.

  • How do you protect a remote backup from a compromised account?

    Jump

  • Personally as some extra spice as I worry about ransomeare, I have a few key files I check across my array that should never change. If any of their hashes are off, I abort immediately.

  • Retro pirate gets two-year suspended jail sentence for being stuck in the past, burning and selling remix CDs of famous artists — four-year investigation into copyright infringement on 40-year-old me…

    Jump

  • The fact that we weren't told how much he "profited" is very telling to me. Guaranteed its not more than a few thousand. They need to make an example if him though, throwing him in jail with murderers and rapists so he learns his lesson of not creating mix CDs. This is probably the most corrupt thing I've seen happen to non violent ceiminal. Should have been community service and a fine.

  • Burning Gas Pollutes So Much, Dirty EV Battery Manufacturing Evens Out In About 2 Years

    Jump

  • Fun for sure, even the cheapest EVs can push you back into the seat like a sports car

  • Burning Gas Pollutes So Much, Dirty EV Battery Manufacturing Evens Out In About 2 Years

  • Most issues require nuance, and the internet does not have the concept of nuance at all. I did my research and bought my EV, no regrets at all. Not only do I know it's better because I haven't consumed gas now in over 2 years, it's also simply the best and easiest car I've ever owned. It's a no brainer to get one. Anyone who says otherwise I think firmly needs to think about their connection with propaganda.

  • Microsoft punishes idiots who purchased a "perpetual" license of Office 2019 for Mac by disabling it next month, pirates unaffected

  • Of course, welcome to the Linux community!

  • The all-new Google Home speaker has finally arrived for $100

    Jump

  • Exactly. It was so cool. Now I just look at my old Home devices in anger.

  • It was annoying enough I saved it, I highly recommend starting some sort of docs setup so future you can remember how you fixed things. This fixed it for me, granted I was on pop but both Ubuntu based so same layers underneath.

    Audio Crackling

    You can fix this by increasing the minimum audio buffer size, which, in turn, will increase the overall audio latency.

    It's not good for real-time professional audio recording, but it won't hurt the general gaming and multimedia experience unless you use a very high value to the point it leads to a noticeable desync with video. Test with a greater minimum quantum

    This takes effect immediately, but it won't persist across reboots.

    This worked for me

     bash
        
pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.min-quantum 2048

    Increasing the minimum quantum permanently

    The default is 1024.

     bash
        
cat << EOF > ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/fix-crackle.conf context.properties = { default.clock.min-quantum = 2048 } EOF
systemctl --user restart pipewire wireplumber

    You can revert this by just deleting the file. Alternative method

    This will improve the handling of low-latency audio at the expense of overall higher CPU usage and with that, power usage.

  • Seeing how it's a trillion dollar company, I think they can spare the few pennies to renew a cert, even 50 years later to keep the "lifetime" license going for everyone. They're not asking for new features or individual support. We're all saying it's a cert. Take the few minutes to renew it.

  • This isn't that some architecture isn't supported or there's some new unseen dependency that failed, it's a cert expiry. Something that happens millions of times per day and can be completely automated.
