IDK that it means anything except that the core X protocols have never been changed in 20 or 30 years. That is a function of the balkanized stakeholder...

Michael , shorely that was supposed to be a toilet in the background not a vanity basin!!

Regarding radeonsi support for clover: "The last patch is really horrible trying to unlower load_kernel_input, I will try and do better there, probably...

1) Yes. Thus my complaining about RDNA.
2) I have never been able to build it. The dependencies are too <insert some very blue curse words>...

[hoohoo]

I did not think you were trying to rip me off. I spoke too strongly, sorry about that. I was trying to point out that for my use case the 6900X is a much...

[hoohoo]

I have used ROCm with good results on a pair of Radeon VII I used to own. Would you care to explain how ROCm is "an utter mess"?

W6800 = 3840 shaders, 17.83 TFLOP FP32, $2249 launch price.

[hoohoo]

A "server board" with one expansion slot, no ECC, and only two NVMe drives.

Well, at least it does not cost much. And it lools...

[hoohoo]

Lots of questions about this tech, and I think you have just asked a goood on. What happens to secrecy when the secret data gets written to a disk file...

[hoohoo]

You got that right! I had a knee jerk chain reaction, and I had to deliberately take a step back and think it over: hiding data on the system... rootkit......

[hoohoo]

Would the kernel know that a process has such a memory segment, even though the segments pages are not visible to the kernel?

For the sake...

And if you could be more polite the world would be a better place.

SMB is a file sharing network protocol, it is much bigger than, say, TCP....

[hoohoo]

I do understand your point. This kind of change is a bit ironic. Back in the day Netware was all ring zero all time, and it was a stability nightmar...
