Do you want to hear a TCP joke?

Lloll

I don’t think it can be constant time. Accessing a heap is O(log n), isn’t it?

HTML = hit mill
It’s like a machine (mill) that gets you hits (web traffic)

HTTP = hitch tip
It’s the tip of the hitch that you attach to the hit mill

I’ve got a relevant SMBC for that

I cannot avoid reading that as “Je-sucks”

I didn’t actually try it, that’s just the joke that’s floating around. “GNU HURD, like GTA6, will never be finished.”

For all I know, it’s still in beta stage, even if it is usable.

Then he brings a wrench

It might actually be running out of memory. 16GB are used, and the other 16GB are unusable somehow. Could be a bad RAM stick or bad connection (as mentioned by others), or it could be a memory quota. Run ulimit -a to check the quota.

However, on my second read, the symptoms do not match up with running out of memory. (can drop to the console, can move the mouse) It could be a problem with the desktop environment. Which DE do you use?

I’m interested in other DEs, i swear! I just don’t use them, or like them!

Replace Linux with NetBSD, and then I’ll just put my entire hand on the touchscreen

Probably would also work with Linux

The year is 5495. HURD will probably be complete by then.

Disabling those should be similar. Search for NVIDIA in the driver name, and use the same process.

Do you have any SWAP partition or swapfile? That will allow the host operating system to use parts of the disk as memory. Instead of completely locking up when it runs out of memory, it will get slow first, and buy you more time.

I use echo ^G

(That ^G is a literal control-G character, type control-V then control-G to get it, or Insert then control-G)

It might still be a driver problem, with the NVIDIA drivers in general. Try booting with software rendering only, to see if that’s the case.

Here’s how to disable the GPU drivers:

Remove “nomodeset” from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable in /etc/default/grub

Add “rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX instead

Run sudo update-grub then reboot

Note: This only works if you’re using the open-source drivers, known as Nouveau. If you’re using the proprietary drivers, this will not work.

To check if you’re using Nouveau or the proprietary drivers, run lspci and check for “NVIDIA”, then run lsmod and check for Nouveau.

Remember to change it back when you want to re-enable the NVIDIA drivers.

(PS: I used this website as a source, their procedure is more complicated, and focused on Fedora.)

Point your rhetorical weapons somewhere else!

And try to aim them, and form coherent paragraphs.

I tried to make a joke, how is that cause for attack?

If I wanted a rapid and accelerated vision, I would ask a speed skater
