  • I was trying to get dual 3090 passthrough working in a VM on my Proxmox server for like a week. The VM would not detect both GPUs, just the first and everything the forums and Reddit threads on this issue checked out. As far as I could tell, it was happy with everything, nothing was amiss. And yet the VM would only ever detect 1 GPU and 1 GPU audio controller.

    I spent a week on it before realizing I had put a .1 in the PCIe ID field in the VM hardware settings instead of .0. .1 references the audio controller of the second GPU and not the GPU itself lolol

















  • But this is not the first system package replaced by a rust rewrite (on some distros) - something that has been working well for so long and is so fundamental for so many other softwares - is that wise?

    Was there ever a problem wrt memory safety with sudo?

    There’s been plenty of cases of a piece of software/library/whatever “working well” for years until one day OOPS there’s actually a gaping vulnerability in it. Hopefully, it’s a researcher that finds it first so it can be patched, but that doesn’t always happen. That’s how there’s a whole market for “0 days”

    “Working well” != “Secure”









  • It does look like there has been major improvements since the last time I tried this kind of shenanigans. Which admittedly has been many years, these days I just don’t bother with dual booting so I’m free to just use the native FS wherever needed for the OS I’m using OR I have an intermediary like a SAN or it’s on a VM or something

    Still though, using a non-native FS in this manner is always more headaches than it’s worth, the no journaling is a corruption risk true, but so is using a non-native FS just in different ways lol

    IMO, the use case for this drive is storing re-downloadable data is perfectly fine for exFAT, worst case it corrupts and you have to redownload games from steam


  • NTFS support on Linux has never been good, iirc it still mounts NTFS as read-only by default. You can remount it as R/W, but it isn’t exactly recommended

    If you absolutely want to share the steam library between windows and Linux, id recommend either a second disk formatted as exFAT or a new storage partition on the same disk formatted as exFAT

    The key here is exFAT, one of the best options for cross-OS compatibility

    Edit: @biofaust@lemmy.world I just saw your reply to someone else in the thread that your steam library is on a separate drive already

    So that’s perfect! Just move everything off it temporarily and format it with exFAT filesystem and you should be fine

    thing to draw is being delegated to Ai (corporations).

    But, not all AI is corporate run, there’s plenty of AI models to choose from that are open source including image generation models

    And actually, image generation models are much easier to run on “affordable” consumer hardware than LLMs
