  • You make a good point about systemd being monolithic, and I hate to add to your replies fully ignoring it to only talk about the thorn… but I gotta admit I’m really curious how you type it.

    I’m guessing you’re not using text replacement and that you’re typing it instead, but do you have it bound to a key combo, replacing a little-used character, etc? Do you use the same method on mobile, if you also use the thorn there? If you type like this everywhere, are you concerned about your distinct typing patterns making you easy to dox?

    Sorry to hit you with a bunch of questions unrelated to your actual comment, I don’t have strong opinions on systemd so don’t have much to contribute there lol


  • I’ve given up on running ASA using a 5900x and a 10gb 3080, cuz I can barely get a stable 40fps at 4K with clouds turned off and the settings as low as I can tolerate them (including upscaling turned on). If you’re playing at a lower resolution you’ll obviously have a much better time with it than I do, but fair warning this game is just unoptimized as fuck.

    My performance is entirely gpu-bound, but that’s also what you’d expect at 4K so if you run 1080p for example a 5000-series cpu would probably give you a big jump in performance. A 5950x, 5900xt, 5900x, 5800xt, etc would be a really nice upgrade from your current cpu and with a bios update your board should support them all. If you’re able to find one, a 5800x3d or 5700x3d would be ideal if this is a purely gaming pc for you, though they’re not as powerful for productivity stuff.

    The only other thing I’d check out is just to see if you have vsync enabled / a framerate cap, your gpu usage being low is probably just from the cpu bottleneck but those two things can also cause it














  • It works in the sense that the operations are performed on binary numbers, so text handling works the same way it normally does assuming the handler function is encrypted to match. Once you have multiplication and addition, you can make logic gates and general computing follows from there - although with the noise being amplified thru each logic gate, the more complex the functions the more bootstrapping is required and the less I see this being doable in the short term.

    For a working example, check out apple’s homomorphic encryption page, they use it for landmark identification and afaik will be using it for siri whenever they get to that update. It’s slow but it’s already usable - I’m not personally convinced it’ll be used everywhere, but the technology is super cool and I hope it shows up more
