Maybe you have hard links or sparse files in your source directory. Try with -H for hard links first. You can try with --sparse but I think hard links are more likely.

I’m a bit surprised an Nvidia 9x0 would struggle for web browsing. On a PC this old I would first check other things before swapping the GPU:

• Is it clean? Physically clean? Restricted air flow can make your CPU throttle down to avoid getting too hot.
• Is the operating system on an SSD or a spinning disk? I’m sure prices are insane nowadays but a small data SSD just for the OS will dramatically improve performance.
• How much RAM do you have? Again, prices are not good right now, but 8GiB is the minimum to run a modern desktop+browser.
• Do you have the proprietary drivers installed? I haven’t touched an Nvidia GPU on Linux in a long time, but I would expect those to be basically mandatory for a smooth experience.

As for the GPU, if you are not gaming on big modern titles, anything released in the last ten years should be enough. I had a good experience with AMD over this era for out of the box Linux compatibility, but I can’t say much about codecs, I never had issues and never bothered to check.

Intel is probably good enough also.

Another thing to consider is maybe your CPU has a built-in GPU, I use low/mid-range Intel CPU from this era without a discrete GPU as an HTPC and it performs fine.

Putting Cheney on the Left is just wild, I had to check her Wikipedia page and there is absolutely nothing remotely leftist in any of her positions and actions.

Isn’t that a question about work culture?

After her rudder was disabled by an Austrian vessel, the Austrian flagship…

We don’t hear much about the Austrian navy these days, I wonder why.

How that’s weird, because I can name it under it’s french name “attrap’ souris” (literally “catch mouse”) but this implies it was originally themed with burglars.

I remember begging my parents, at the age of 12, for the cash to put together my first gaming-capable PC.

When I was a teenager in the nineties in France, it was a big deal that there was some PCs under 10000 francs (~1500€). PC parts pricing has been rough for years.

Was there really a time when a decent budget gaming PC could be built so cheap compared to middle class income? I’m not saying it’s not getting worse, but I’m wondering if the past is not idealized.

5km in an hour is a brisk walk. In 45 minutes it’s probably closer to a jog. It’s not super human but it’s not a normal walking pace.

The bio literally says “parody account”.

No it’s not, other Unix were on the list until 2017, there was even some Windows and macos for a time.

Some have thousands but yes.on most of these systems :

• Process launch and scheduling is done by a resource manager (SLURM is common)
• Inter process communication uses an MPI implementation (like OpenMPI)
• These inter node communications uses a low latency (and high bandwidth) network. This is dominated by Infiniband from Nvidia (formerly Mellanox)

What’s really peculiar in modern IT, is that it often use old school Unix multi user management. Users connect to the system through SSH with their own username, use a POSIX filesystem and their processes are executed with their own usernames.

There is kernel knobs to pay attention to, but generally standard RHEL kernels are used.

Trump probably doesn’t want his NY real estate to lose value, so now he will say and do anything to keep the market up.

I’m sure this got a lot of likes on his numerous social media accounts which are not on US platforms.

The bar is on the floor, and he can’t reach it.

A common interpretation is that it’s a deliberate strategy by Tarkin to let them escape and then track them. Leia even says it out loud in the film: “They let us go. It was the only reason for the ease of our escape.”

I thought the link would lead me to the Rimworld page.

• Step 1: Putin says to Trump he wants immediate peace if Ukraine renounce territory
• Step 2: Trump believes him and pressure Zelensky to accept an immediate cease fire
• Step 3: Zelensky accepts but Putin explains he also wants regime change and complete demilitarization before negotiating a cease fire
• Step 4: even Trump find this unacceptable and don’t talk to Putin for a month
• Go to step 1

I think we are at the end of the third or fourth loop.

Paris, in the central island where Notre Dame is. It’s one of the few remaining building of the medieval royal palace.

Pretty common to keep your shoes inside in France. It’s more common in houses with a hard floor than in apartments with a wooden floor, but there’s absolutely no standard so you usually end up asking.

I had the same question, that was what prompted me to click on the source link. No it’s sales from the US only. I also realized, that even if it was that would mean that the increase in spending is even more dramatic.

The actual issue I realized today is that those are sales from the US government, not sure if Germany buying from an American company counts. So I’m not sure it can actually be compared. This does not improve my opinion of that article. Misrepresenting irrelevant data is not better than just misrepresenting data.

This article is trash trying to sell you something that is not true and actually disproved in the article itself :

According to U.S. government data, Berlin signed off on more than $17 billion in foreign military sales between 2020 and 2024, hitting a $13.9 billion record in 2023, highlighting increased demand following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

So what this paragraph is saying that in 2023 Germany spent 13.9 billions, and about 800 millions in average for the other four years (and that’s consistent with the linked source).

So the “drop” to 6.8 billions is actually five times the spending from 2024. And it’s double the average spending from the last five years. Germany buys more American hardware than ever (except 2023).
