#681481 — A New Machine Progresses. The Shakedown Phase.

My new machine is performing beautifully at his point.
I wasn't sure.  The critical components had to be shipped
from a supplier in Hong Kong and I had a slight concern
about the integrity of the business.

But it all check out well so far.

I have swapped a PCI 2 vid card from my junk Winblows
machine into my PCI 3 slot just to get hings going.

The BIOS tweak comes first.

Since I don't use that stupid UEFI boot, I needed to
enable CSM (Compatibility Support Module) to allow
legacy booting.  I disabled Secure Boot as well since
I won't have gremlins constantly attacking my machine.
Also Intel AMT (Active Management Technology) is disabled.
The virtual machine (VT-d) is out as well (only a fucking
asshole uses virtual machines).

But other BIOS options left me bewildered.  What the
fuck is "CFG Lock?"  It seems to be another security feature
so I disabled it.

Now everything is tweaked to perfection and I await the
arrival of my Nvidia card.

There will no SSDs on this machine.  Never. HDDs only.

SSDs are a gimmick made for assholes.

Next comes the highly tuned kernel and software.

Here is my compile string for cross compilation:

Amazing, isn't it?  Nearly everything the dummy gurgles about software

My SSD is amazing, Win10 20H2 flew on it, so did Win11 for the first
year or two, and Linux now is wonderful with it.

Both languages require care and diligence, and an intuitive understanding of
their memory models (which overlap a bit).

All languages do.

I've spend decades working with C and C++, and am very comfortable with them.
I still google or read up on various solutions, just to be sure I've got the
best or newest solution in mind.

This is one of the most important benefits of C++:

    https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/raii

    Resource Acquisition Is Initialization or RAII, is a C++ programming
    technique which binds the life cycle of a resource that must be acquired
    before use (allocated heap memory, thread of execution, open socket, open
    file, locked mutex, disk space, database connection—anything that exists in
    limited supply) to the lifetime of an object.

    RAII guarantees that the resource is available to any function that may
    access the object (resource availability is a class invariant, eliminating
    redundant runtime tests). It also guarantees that all resources are
    released when the lifetime of their controlling object ends, in reverse
    order of acquisition. Likewise, if resource acquisition fails (the
    constructor exits with an exception), all resources acquired by every
    fully-constructed member and base subobject are released in reverse order
    of initialization. This leverages the core language features (object
    lifetime, scope exit, order of initialization and stack unwinding) to
    eliminate resource leaks and guarantee exception safety. Another name for
    this technique is Scope-Bound Resource Management (SBRM), after the basic
    use case where the lifetime of an RAII object ends due to scope exit.

Agreed, any basic task starts to be a huge adventure when you start to try

That's surprising (bis).

> Since I don't use that stupid UEFI boot,

In fact, you are using it, but you don't have enough knowledge in
computer to be aware of it. Starting to boot in legacy mode is still
booting the UEFI. It's only booting with limited capacities, but it's
still the UEFI. You can have as many shit as you want in front of your
eyes, it doesn't change the fact: BIOS doesn't exist any more on recent
computer.

I already told you so, but you'd rather refuse reality than learn.

Yes, we know, the kernel you tuned years ago for your older computer
which will run smoothly on your new computer. And here, I'd like to
thank you a lot. Because with this sentence, you proved what I always
answered to you: it's useless to compile your kernel with modern
versions. If you ever had tuned it seriously, it would have taken you
days to find the best way possible. Because the only possibility to fine
tune a kernel seriously is to try a lot of options and to benchmark
every choice. Which could have been done over the years, but which can't
be done in a few minutes on a new hardware.

So, once again, what you believe would impress anyone only proves you
have a mouth far bigger than your capacities.

Same answer as above. Try again.

Start by learning the basics of programmation and come here again to

Try again, Carpenter.

My knowledge of computer booting is way beyond anything that
you'll ever know.

The option for legacy booting exists and it will exist despite
you feeble exhortations about the "future."

What an ignoramus idiot!

What fucking "capacities" do you want?

Just load the fucking Linux kernel and then get out of the
fucking way.  Very, very simple.  Legacy booting does that
just fine.

Your arguments are totally asinine.

The BIOS provides the option to disable VT-d.  The BIOS does not
attach a warning that disabling the VT-d will violate the future.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

You are a total imbecile!

SSDs are NOT the future.  They are merely an option for uninformed

How are you that stupid?  SSDs are the standard issue, now.  I'm

I haven't checked the meaning of asinine yet but I bet since it has an 
ingredient of "ass" in it it must be just the word for what I described

I doubt if that is the true etymology of the word but it does
fit the current context.

It's not necessary.

Yes, but no. Any of your message proves otherwise. Your knowledge is
below any newbie would have acquired in a month. And you didn't passed
this level in years. You are either the shame of a Linux defender or the
pride of a Windows aficionado.

> The option for legacy booting exists and it will exist despite
> you feeble exhortations about the "future."

Don't care. It's an option in the UEFI boot, so it's still UEFI. Your
willingness to accept it or not is of no matter. You are wrong: the case
is closed.

> What an ignoramus idiot!

You are too limited. You pretend to be an artist: prove it. Improve.

>> Starting to boot in legacy mode is still
>> booting the UEFI. It's only booting with limited capacities,

>
> What fucking "capacities" do you want?

Once again, I already answered that: the possibility to boot directly my
Linux Kernel without the need of a bloated boot manager. But you can't
understand what a simple boot is.

> Just load the fucking Linux kernel and then get out of the
> fucking way.  Very, very simple.

Yes, exactly, why do you ask if you know the answer?

> Legacy booting does that just fine.

No way. The BIOS didn't managed that, it was brought by the UEFI. If you
are able to do it without the need of a boot manager, it's because you
are not in legacy mode. And I don't care if you believe you have enabled
it.

And really, I know Linux, but I have only the most limited knowledge
possible about BIOS/UEFI. I don't care about hardware and I learn only
what's vital for me to use it. So, if you know less than me, it's a
miracle you are able to use your new computer.

> Your arguments are totally asinine.

They mostly prove you don't know what you are doing. And they prove I
was right to be surprised when you said your new computer is working
well.

>> I already told you so, but you'd rather refuse reality than learn.
>
> Yes, you told me before.  But I NEVER listen to a fucking idiot.

First I refuse your badge of honor. You want to insult me, fine, I'm
willing to be insulted by you. But not endlessly with the only word in
your limited vocabulary. You are lying about everything, included your
claim of being an artist. Any artist would be able to be more varied in
his insults.

Second, as I already told you: it's not what I am which is important,
but what I say. The important thing is you can't check about what I am
and if I rely only about what I am, I can make mistakes. But. The.
Important. Thing. Is: you can check about what I say. And then, you can
either prove me wrong or improve. But your inability to check proves
your inability to learn. You'll stay a newbie forever. Or a Windows
aficionado pretending to promote Linux in the only purpose of making
Linux users looking like fools.

And that's I believe the most probable: you are a Windows (or maybe
Apple) user using Linux only to show issues about it. When you are the
only issue. Even DFS, who is a Windows confirmed aficionado, knows more
about Linux than you. And it tells a lot about you being a forever Linux
beginner. The only explanations are either you have an IQ below your
anal temperature (in Celsius Degree, which is about 37°C) or you are a
Windows user. The first possibility could explain you being in an
asylum. But your Internet access should have to be explained. The second
explanation is more probable because you acknowledge to Windows a lot.

No. The UEFI does that. Try to learn the basics.

Exist anymore. It's UEFI, right now. You can keep your shit in front of
your eyes, it changes nothing: you don't understand what you are saying.

> attach a warning that disabling the VT-d will violate the future.

So what? You are the only one stuck in the past. But I'll tel you a
secret. To send a message from your computer to Usenet, a lot of VM are
used. So, you are using VM even pretending not to. The only way to avoid

No. It's not enough. Improve your insults. For real.

What's the future? One week? One year? One century? The only reason HDD
are still available is because they are cheaper than SSD for huge
storage. But once the price of SSD decrease they are replaced.

> SSDs are NOT the future.

They are the present. I don't read the future, I don't know what new
technology will be discovered in the future. So I don't know what is the
future. But I know the HDD are the past and either they will be replaced
by SSD or by something waiting to happen.

You don't know what information is.

Once again, I refuse your badge of honor: improve. Stop pretending.
Start improving, don't stay that limited in everything, including your
insults.

You just admit failure, why should I continue?

It changes nothing about you lying about customizing your kernel.

For one thing, UEFI would require me to re-partition my HDDs to
include that stupid special UEFI partition.  That would be a
lot of work and for what gain?

For what gain?

Nothing.  That's the answer.

YOU, however, have nothing to be concerned about because your
distro does all the partitioning for you.  All you have to do
is float along like a helpless piece of driftwood.

The single term "idiot" says it all very succinctly.

You never stop being proud of you lack of knowledge. So partitioning a
hard drive is not a lot of work, it's a fast and easy thing to do by
anyone but you. And on a new computer you have to do that anyway. No?
You didn't? It means you keep the partitioning your hard drive came with?
You didn't add a swap partition? And you kept your FAT partition? Yes,
you are a Windows user, it's obvious from a very long time.

> For what gain?

To have a computer designed to run Linux instead of Windows would be a
good start.

> Nothing.  That's the answer.

Yes, I know, you prefer Windows to Linux. But here I'm speaking about a
computer running Linux, not Windows. And if Linux can read/write on a
FAT partition, it's not the best choice for a Linux installation.

As you speak only about what you don't know, I'll tell you a secret. I
had to partition my hard drive by myself. As you are afraid of
everything that's recent, I know you can't use gparted to do the job. As
you are afraid of the command line, I know you can't use fdisk either.
But, you could use a usb stick with a live distro on it to use
gnome-disk which could help you using your mouse.

You learned only one insult because you can't learn and because you have
no creative capacities.

> The single term "idiot" says it all very succinctly.

It's mostly limited.

You never stop being an idiot.

All my HDDs are partitioned according to a certain scheme so that
I can make backups very easily.  If this scheme were to change then
I would have to rewrite all my backup scripts which would be a lot
of work.

Let me state the absolute facts for your idiotic self:

UEFI, like systemd, is totally unnecessary.

UEFI, like systemd, is an answer looking for a question.

UEFI, like systemd, is only for total idiots like you.

Post those scripts so we can laugh at the buffoonery.

I'd put in more in league with the miracles like virgin birth. Fartley and 
all his aliases are in my bozo bin but it is comforting to indirectly see 
nothing has changed.

Hmm.. Senility I guess.

This forum best suits focused people like Farley. None of you nut jobs 
belong here. I've told you this before.

Go find yourselves forums that cater women's public bathhouses. That's 
where you useless bunch of blabbermouths should be.

Because he's not that clever, filtering Larry Pietraskiewicz is rather 
simple. I don't see any of his garbage.
