Why? I mean, they aren't compelled to manufacture DIMMs.

Right now, there is a window in time where there are companies willing to pay tons of money for HBM, more than most people and companies are for DIMMs. It'd be crazy for memory manufacturers not to make HBM if they have the capacity to do so, if they're doing way better by doing so.

It could be a backronym, where the meaning of something is changed after the name is selected to fit the name. I mean, the company is Chinese. I doubt that they initially chose an English-based name, but they sure could have adopted it later.

And yes, at least according to Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_Company

"BYD" is the pinyin initials of the company's Chinese name Biyadi. The company was originally known as Yadi Electronics (亚迪电子), named after the Yadi Road in Dapeng New District, where the company was once based.[23] According to Wang Chuanfu, when the company was registered, the character "Bi" (比) was added to the name to prevent duplication, and to provide the company with an alphabetical advantage in trade shows.[24] As the name "BYD" had no particular meaning, BYD started adopting a backronymic slogan "Build Your Dreams" when it participated at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in the US.[25][26][27]

EDIT: Ah, @ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml already pointed this out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_Nations

Aryan Nations was a North American neo-Nazi[1] and white supremacist[2] hate group that was originally based in Kootenai County, Idaho, about 2+3⁄4 miles (4.4 km) north of the city of Hayden Lake.

Probably some lasting effect from that.

Starting in 1981, Butler organized yearly gatherings of white supremacists at his compound in Idaho which he termed the "Aryan Nations World Congress." At his first conference, Butler called for the division of the United States into racial mini-states, including a white ethnostate in the Pacific Northwest. He said that he had a black ally in the plan, Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam.[3] At the 1983 Aryan Nations World Congress, Louis Beam and other leaders in the white power movement declared war on the U.S. government.[4]

Yeah deflation sucks, but that's not what Americans actually want.

I am confident that there are a number of people who really do want prices to decrease in absolute terms and don't understand what that would do.

Will these even be useful on the second hand market, or are these chips gonna be on specialized PCBs for these machines?

If I understand aright, it's going to be HBM, so it won't be in DIMM form. Like, can't just go stick it in a PC.

They look like USB A ports to me with an unusual housing around them.

Looking at their releases page:

https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases

It looks like the Windows release isn't packaged with an installer, so it's probably expected to be run in that way.

No fundamental reason that a Windows binary needs to be distributed in such a fashion.

I'm long out of date on Windows, but in the past, and I am sure now, you can still stick a shortcut or whatever in the Start menu manually.

EDIT: If the issue is that it needs to be invoked with a current working directory of the executable's directory, it sounds like you can go to the Properties on a Windows shortcut and set the "Start in" directory. That being said, I don't have a Windows machine handy to test, and if that isn't possible, you could create a short .bat script that does a "cd" to the directory before running the binary, and instead launch a shortcut to that.

If you're wanting something that makes for a neat, mesmerising visual effect, maybe a plasma ball?

It looks like they're available on Amazon for the mid-to-low end of that price range.

From my /etc/resolv.conf on Debian trixie, which isn't using openresolv:

# Third party programs should typically not access this file directly, but only
# through the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf. To manage man:resolv.conf(5) in a
# different way, replace this symlink by a static file or a different symlink.

I mean, if you want to just write a static resolv.conf, I don't think that you normally need to have it flagged immutable. You just put the text file you want in place of the symlink.

Also, when you talk about fsck, what could be good options for this to check the drive?

I've never used proxmox, so I can't advise how to do so via the UI it provides. As a general Linux approach, though, if you're copying from a source Linux filesystem, it should be possible to unmount it


or boot from a live boot Linux CD, if that filesystem is required to run the system


and then just run fsck /dev/sda1 or whatever the filesystem device is.
