The "tank" has an immobile or mostly immobile turret, depending on the particular design of this piece of battlefield ingenuity. Units appear to be making these modifications at the frontline to improve survivability against FPV drones but there isn't a standard package.
Look at that, an OP who is just a prick.
Why? If you say to limit the spread of bacteria we have some studies that suggest it makes no difference at all
What a hot take. I bet you're real fun at parties.
Some HP printers require proprietary firmware be loaded over USB. You could try hplip but I found that although my printer is explicitly supported it couldn't identify it via device ID.
Really? I think you should punch Nazis in the fucking face.
A microwave does not use resistive heating and works on a completely different principle and therefore the amount of power available is much less importance.
Insane troll logic
It's pretty uncommon. I've been using prerelease KDE for quite a while and rarely see any issues.
If it's any consolation, Plasma 6 will recover from crashes like that.
Your dog is probably just dreaming.
Mine does it and she sometimes starts making small barks in her sleep and twitching her legs while she does so. I assume that she's dreaming about a long fun chase.
Do keep an eye on it and reach out to a vet if you're concerned, but it sounds pretty normal based on what you've described.
Some easy display rules, and a couple of plugins and it's perfect.
Good luck! There's plenty of support on IRC and Discord if you get lost!
You could probably fit something inside the chassis, but why? It doesn't have standard mounting hardware for any ATX form factor, you'll need to source a slim PSU, and at the end of the day, without a ton of effort to make the build work, and additional thought put into the cooling (etc) you're going to destroy a working console for a pretty average result with a lot of trade-offs.
TL;DR, bad idea. You can do better.
It doesn't matter. Put it in ~/foo/bar/Baz for all the shell cares.
If you don't have root is it really a VPS?
Anyway, unpack the binaries to ~/local/usr/bin and add that to your PATH.
I'd trust also the official Arch repo.
Yeah they've only rolled out a version of curl that broke the package manager a few times.
It's not quite what you've asked for here, but as a Dev I'd be remiss if I didn't shill for Gentoo.
It ticks your rolling release box, has fantastic docs, a huge package repository (and the community repo Guru), and by design enables almost infinite configurability and customisation. We also have a binary package repository now for popular architectures, so you can choose to avoid compiling if you don't want to deviate from sane defaults (or only compile in cases where you do!)
On the hardware side, we have fantastic support for a number of architectures, I recently brought up a SPARC system and have some arch64 and riscv in the past.
Finally, even if you just decide to check the distro out, the process of installing, configuring, and maintaining a Linux system is outlined in detail within our handbook, and can provide a peek behind the scenes at what some other distros abstract; it's a fantastic learning experience for those interested.
Finally, we have fantastic support through volunteers in official IRC channels and forums, as well as unofficial hubs like discord.
Hopefully I've planted a seed and you'll check it out down the line. :)
Sync didn't like the link.
It depends. I'm glad that we have tools like proton, but when this was an explicit stretch goal that was met during funding it's a bit different.
I'm disappointed in Nightdive. Not just because they cancelled the port, but because they made a promise and they broke it, and they just remained silent about it instead of being transparent about any challenges that they were facing over the preceding years.

> I've been interested in switching away from $PROPRIETARY_VENDOR's HPC node / cluster management offering for a while, and the opportunity has finally arisen - $VENDOR has decided to massively hike up their prices, so it's time to look at alternatives.
>
> The top option on my list is Warewulf. Warewulf is a stateless node management tool, where stateless means "we boot any image you want into memory" (compared with competing implementations which do 'magic' to image a node's disk every boot). There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach.
>
> The thing that attracts me most to Warewulf is that they've come to the conclusion that most HPC "disk images" are basically container images. Rather than using a chroot directory as an image (as do so many competing implementations) Warewulf have leaned wholeheartedly into the concept, and have adopted the OCI image tooling to define HPC images!
>
> This offers an astounding amount of flexibility that the current $VENDOR solution does not - the ability to define, build, and run any (reasonable) flavour of Linux as an image for HPC nodes; images need only the kernel, networking, systemd, and (optionally) a nfs client (this is for convenience, it's not required for node functionality).
>
> Based on that I've taken it upon myself to have some fun and investigate the current state of Warewulf as a node management tool - the first step, of course, was creating a Gentoo ebuild for Warewulf that compiles and installs. I'm happy to say that, after fixing some bugs in the offline build process, I have a working ebuild.
>
> If you're a Gentooer with an interest in Node Management or HPC, please give my Warewulf ebuild a try; it compiles and installs but I haven't yet had a chance to do any real cluster management and I'm interested in hearing about any bugs you encounter!

A neofetch screenshot from the machine I just unpacked and am finally ready to do actual work on. I swear I have a 6.4 kernel pending a reboot!
