75C is fine, the CPU will throttle in order to avoid max temps. This isn’t something that should cause instability.

It’s POSSIBLE that this is a bug that’s fixed with a microcode update, see here for installing it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Microcode

TL;DR:

1. Install amd-ucode
2. Edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, add microcode after autodetect
3. sudo mkinitcpio -P
4. reboot

If that doesn’t fix it, and it crashes in Windows too, it may be a hardware problem. There isn’t much you need to do in order to get a CPU working.

You’ll fit right in, 'round here.

e: saw you go it fixed, congrats. It’s always DNS

Be sure to restrict it to only be readable by root.

There are plenty of responses from people trying to help.

If the OP isn’t willing to try any steps or provide feedback to the people who offered suggestions that’s on them.

On the other hand, you’re engaging in exactly the kind of zero effort flame posts that you’re also complaining about. It is hypocritical to complain about toxic Linux communities while being part of the toxicity.

They basically have purchased an unlimited number of certifications from Oracle and let you access them as an employee benefit.

You still have to learn the material on your own though. Your employer probably has their course available material, for free to you, as well.

It’s a deal OPs employer (a school that offers tech courses to teach various certifications) has with Oracle.

OP is just getting the same deal that Students get when they purchase a course at his company. It’s pretty standard to include the certification along with the course and they deal with Oracle so the company only has to pay a flat rate to offer certifications to their students.

Ah.

Yes, if they’re directly through an Oracle partnership with your job that’s legit then.

Your company likely gets this as part of a package that they buy from Oracle. I’d guess that they offer certifications as part of the courses that they teach.

They likely have a partnership with Oracle to buy (some of) the certifications. You’re just getting that same deal (free first try, costs money afterwards).

So, if you’ve already studied for a certification, then it can save you money.

But unless it says otherwise, assume that it is just the test portion. In addition, some certifications require proctoring and that may at your expense. This is probably part of “the necessary info” package, but you can ask a supervisor about the details.

I was under the impression, from reading one of the developers write of his interaction with the owner, that they’re just selling dropped shipped white label laptops.

They’re simply add branding and a disk image which the white label manufacturer applies before shipping.

So it doesn’t even seem to be an OEM… Just some guy trying to make an easy buck with some slick marketing and white label laptops… he just couldn’t get the image setup and failed spectacularly in collaboration with the people who could help him.

Correct, horse_battery_staple

Your things may be owned by root and have unusual permissions.

So, to make your NTFS drive be owned by your user and group and to set the permissions you can:

# Change owner to user:user
sudo chown -R username:group your_directory

# Change permissions to default (typically 755 for directories and 644 for files)

# For directories
find your_directory -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

 #files
find your_directory -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

New people don’t realize that Linux is really a soap opera with a small software project attached.

Let’s say such a change happens and at that time there’s a bit of time pressure and the capacity on the rust maintainers is thing for whatever reasons. Will they still happily swallow that change or will they start to discuss if it’s really necessary to do that change? And suddenly, the C-maintainer has a political discussion on top of the technical issue they wanted to solve.

This situation could occur even if the code using the API was written in C.

If an API change breaks other downstream kernel code, and that code can’t be fixed in time then they have a conversation about pushing the changes to the next build.

In the end, Linus has already chosen to accept the extra development overhead in using Rust. I think this situation was more about a maintainer, who happens to disagree with the Rust inclusion, using their position to create unnecessary friction for other maintainers.

I use it in this configuration.

It works well except, if you lose connection temporarily the cloudflared stops responding until some, long (60s or so) timeout period.

A minor annoyance, I usually just manuirestart the service… but I cannot find the setting that is causing this.

sometimes nvidia drivers are in a state that breaks display reinit on wake from sleep

That happens so often that I’ve just bound a hotkey in Hyprland to poke my monitors config (toggling VRR off and on again) in order to force a mode change and wake up the display.
