apple has a budget laptop line now, unless you're a thirdie in which case you're fucked anyway because the only way to get components like RAM which don't cost an arm and a leg is to get them through an OEM like apple. i dont know why even bring this apple tax point, like have you been living under a rock? everything is scalped, you cant build a PC for cheap anymore

>>33528
You can still get celeron tier laptops for $100-200, plus they will often sell old thinkpads that aren't a meme second hand at even lower prices, plus i know a guy who will buy the PC parts from multiple sources and sell me a build without VAT. Burger treatlerites might no longer have access to the same cheap PC and part imports, but that doesn't matter as much, when those still have the superior economies of scale.

even if it's not linux, id still use a unix os over windows slop

>>33532
even those will get scalped as soon as some youtuber hypes them up as cheap alternatives

>>33532
Those 4GB N150 shitbooks are going to chug like crazy running windows lmao.

I'm gonna go a little easy on you. I don't think there's "bad" and "good" guys so much. After all I have heard many times on this board from anons who have genuine bloodlust and wish to rape and murder the bourgeoisie, including the children and so forth. So morality doesn't really come into it. It's just a pure power struggle between two classes. Marx himself said "when it is our turn, we will not make excuses for the terror." and so on.

Putting that aside, I think capitalism as a system runs on an internal logic that even the richest and most powerful bourgeoisie cannot erase through their willpower alone. You refusing to collaborate wouldn't really change much. Even if the world's richest man, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, stopped collaborating with capitalism, they would just kill him. They would just replace you with a more willing collaborator. There is always a "they" that overwrites "you." So either everyone in the ruling class picks the perfect moment to stop collaborating at the same time, or there is a revolution. The latter is obviously more likely.

As for automation, you are no different than an engineer designing power looms in the 1780s to replace hand loom weavers, just a more advanced form of that. You too may be replaced. However the bourgeoisie are creating a crisis. If you replace workers to cheapen commodities, and workers double as consumers, how will workers pay for cheaper commodities without wages? They are also swelling the reserve army of labor, and making the unemployed dependent upon the employed for survival.

So like the other anon said, you are also an unwitting accelerationist.

Nah because you're engaging in toxic sycophancy: The higher ups want AI, so you're giving them AI regardless if that's a good idea. You're harming them by obeying them.

disgusting anti-morality. "I might as well collaborate because someone else will do it anyways", that's exactly what they all say to themselves. accelerationists are filth.

>>33523
Also who is the 'more willing collaborator'? You are the most willing collaborator, you are currently collaborating.

It's not impossible to work a job where you actually help people and aren't helping to wage class war against the poor.

who even is mike kuketz and why should i care

mike cucketz? i think i fucked his wife

In the German-speaking world, Kuketz is one of the most well-known and influential authorities on the subject of privacy. He spreads his propaganda primarily via his blog, Mastodon, and his own forum. By the way, that forum is a total cult; it's full of people who believe in the "rule of law" and think the EU or the German state are absolutely perfect. The forum is so hypocritical because you are NEVER allowed to question the underlying power structures of the system. This means you can't actually discuss privacy there at all, because you have to operate entirely within the confines of the system. And that is exactly what defines Kuketz. He is a respected "privacy expert" but his entire ideology is 100% conformist. It feels as though the German state deliberately and systematically made this "independent expert" so prominent. Lately, he’s become a bit more anti-US corporation, but only because ORANGE MAN BAD. People always act as if Kuketz were "independent", even though it’s so obvious which political corner he comes from (left-liberal) and that he is absolutely loyal to the state.

Average experience in the Kuketz forum:

>Oh, that won't happen, that would be illegal! Please, no conspiracy theories!! Please, no critical questions about the Google Pixel hardware!! No, the BND would never do that, we're living in a Rechtsstaat™! 14 Eyes? Never heard of it. Of course, EU laws protect our data perfectly and it's very competent!

its over.

Hello anons,
Recently I decided to enable zswap because I have a potato, and I read in the Gentoo and Arch that it is a good choice for low memory systems. So, I add

 zswap.enabled=1 zswap.shrinker_enabled=1zswap.compressor=lz4 zswap.max_pool_percent=30

to my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and update grub. So far so good. I reboot and yes, zswap does in fact get enabled. However, I encounter an issue with the compression algorithm. zswap complains about lz4 not being present and defaults to lzo. However, I can set the compression algorithm to lz4 after boot using sysfs (as described in the Gentoo wiki). This is ok, but I would just like to set it through the kernel parameters itself. The issue seems to be that the lz4 module does not get loaded before zswap does. Is there any way I can get it to load earlier that zswap (other than compiling my own kernel)? Any help is much appreciated.

>Is there any way I can get it to load earlier that zswap (other than compiling my own kernel)?
In most setups modules before /etc/modules get loaded by the initramfs (which also processes the module= kernel commandline parameter). You should find a /etc/mkinitfs or /etc/dracut directory on your system, where you can specify how your initramfs gets built (to rebuild just reinstall your kernel).

I know this might sound counterintuitive, but you should also disable memory overcommitment (vm.overcommmit_memory = 2; vm.overcommit_ratio = 100). If you ever programmed in C, you might know malloc returns NULL, when a program allocates over its limit or the amount of system memory. Linux disables the latter functionality by default, to better run applications with more laissez-faire memory allocation schemes and starts its OOM killer (http://n-gate.com/software/2017/01/20/0/), when real, written-to memory runs out.

In any case disabling memory overcommitment will ensure programs capable of recycling memory or releasing allocations will do so. In my case a tor daemon routinely racked up tens of gigabytes of virtual memory before being unceremoniously reaped by OOM. Now it only segfaults occasionally from NUL characters in its journal, since writing robust C programs is apparently a hard problem in most organizations.

>>33488
I have already put

lz4 and lz4_compress

into my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, it still does not work.
>memory overcommitment
I generally do not run memory intensive applications, but I will look into this.

>>33489
Well, i can't reason about your your initramfs build process, if i don't even know what distro you're using. Always make sure /boot is mounted while rebuilding. For debugging your initramfs in general, i recommed removing root= from the kernel commandline and poking around with the emergency shell.

>>33490
In the end I just gave up and used the solution that already worked, thanks for helping anyway!

>>33135
Only tested the package manager once. Was a huge pain to use. I don't really see why you would use it as a daily driver. Maybe on a server it might work.

>>33135
>like Rust
the game or the thermite ingredient ?

>>33328
I see no reason why you would use NixOS or immutable distros on anything other than a server or a virtual machine. Something you learn and setup once with huge pain and then let mostly be beside updates. Might be my skill issue speaking here, but I see no reason why

The NixOS cult grows

What's a good distro to move from NixOS to? I've been using NixOS for a few years but I'm tired of it.
I want something that's durable like NixOS, but with the ability to run binaries and appimages directly.

I'm laying beside my real wife while she's breastfeeding our daughter. Can your fancy autocomplete do that?

I've also started phoning it in my "I love you" responses to my gf, it's just annoying when they seek validation so much. I dont think you will be satisfied with a robo gf, youre too clingy and needy.
