I think the idea is to bring the compute power closer to the storage or NIC devices. At least that is the impression I am getting from their smartNIC/smartssd device. In this case being video streaming in from the NIC, encoding/de

You can doubt it all you want, but this is where Xilinx Alveo is coming into play. This isn't my space as I operate on low-latency networking side. > A more traditional "many 'fixed function' processor" a la GPU

This is the kind of thing where the whole Xilinx acquisition is gonna make a play. Bespoke accelerator FPGA solutions are the future and will probably scale a lot longer than CPU/GPU combinations.

So far the most useful thing I have found has been the bangs from duckduckgo. With it I can avoid an additional search and go directly search the place I want to look whether that is python docs, rust docs, Wikipedia, reddit or Amazon. Heck

Would you mind clarifying the problem you are facing? I am able to RDP freely onto desktops with rtx 2070/gtx 960 cards no problem. Is this more something specific involving some degraded performance/reduction in features?

I am confused at which stage this is happening. Is this after the bootloader, after initramfs but now systemd-cryptsetup is loaded and unlock the first disk? AFAIK when I do my first disk unlock, at that point does systemd units get loaded

It's possible, but every company security, tech otherwise is not setup like this. Frankly, I am just happy slack is picking up the slack here.

On the other hand, email is the single largest causes of cyber attacks. The communication is not E2E encrypted (apart from a few GPG/SMIME users), no forward secrecy and barely any signature checks. Even if outlook, thunderbird maybe s

When I run systemd-analyze security systemd-networkd it seems to have set quite a lot of capabilities/restrictions. It seems there was quite a lot of restrictions in place to specifically minimize the attack service of that service. Th

Nowhere near as bad as Googlers in my opinion. I very rarely see discussions about the internal politics, or disclaimers about working for Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix or Apple.

I don't think any of this fundamentally beats the main problem. That being platform control and advertising. Google advertises chrome with it's services and is the incumbent. It's also preloaded and unremovable on Android. Mi
