    Ah yes I forgot that’s how things work- if anyone writes a report on something trivial, all non-trivial issues cease to be. Really we should be thanking journalists, we wouldn’t ha…

    I thought you were saying that Marxism-Leninism suffers from naivety of pure math and I was really twisting my brain working that one out

    You’re practically not supposed to to build external modules. It’s supported to only the most minimal degree- Linus, and the Linux project, WANT you to build things in. And as ever…

    I can’t see myself needing a CPU upgrade for a long time. I used Ivy Bridge for a decade, and my Ryzen is far far more powerful. Right now the only compute upgrade I need is a GPU …
