I’m mostly interested in disabling the command to create a root shell ‘machinectl shell @root’. Attempting to ‘systemctl disable systemd-machined’ doesn’t work. Edit: After some more poking, it seems polkit is the way to do it. Create the file `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-deny-machinectl.rules` and add the following polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id.startsWith("org.freedesktop.machine1.")) { return polkit.Result.NO; } }); The list of all actions you can filter on are in `/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.machine1.policy`

    I have no experience with this, but did some googling. The AMD ROCm installer instructions for Ubuntu are here. You need ROCm for HIP. That installs the entire SDK not just the runtime.

    The Arch Wiki says you just need the package hip-runtime-amd. But I can’t find that package for Ubuntu.

    There are also HIP installation instructions for PopOS. That’s similar to Ubuntu.

    echo $(($(rdmsr -c 0xc0011029) & (1<<9) )) 
    

    Should return 512. You might need a ‘sudo’ before the rdmsr (any permission errors in any of this means it didn’t work). Unfortunately, this needs to be done every time you reboot. The next security update for linux will do this automatically.

    Have you checked your subscription list lately? I’m subscribed to several communities I didn’t ask for.

    At first I thought it might be that XSS vulnerability, and someone used it to force people into some communities. But then I noticed all the subs are on this instance. Maybe it is a local database error. The subs I definitely didn’t ask for are: Teardrop…trailers, Hardstyle, Geohints, geo games, and Seventeen (lol).

    If your instance started showing ads, would you just leave to another instance? Do you see any way to fund the operation of an instance other than donations?

    This is an interesting examination of intel architecture history from the perspective of what micro-ops are used for a simple x86 loop and if they qualify as “RISC”.
