Sounds like a great way to get extra memory for your GPU without needing to buy a whole new one!

More than likely. Our issues seem to stem more from GPU power and memory at this point.

Online liability protections [for social media companies] have outlived usefulness, top lawmakers say (thehill.com)

Hmmm... Making social media companies liable for what users post. I'm all for making them take a more active involvement in what's going on but that would open up anyone hosting stuff to a world of liability...

Archie has been resurrected (archie.serialport.org)

Some people have apparently not only gone through the trouble of digging out the latest available version of Archie (old FTP indexer / search engine from the mid 80's / 90's before Google was a thing), but they even set up a fresh install and made a web interface available. Even better: The entire source code apparently also still exists.

Canonical: up to 12 years of support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - gHacks Tech News (www.ghacks.net)

Core support for Ubuntu won't change according to Shuttleworth. Ubuntu LTS versions continue to be supported for 5 years and non-LTS releases for 9 months. Ubuntu 23.04 is the current release version, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS the current long-term support release.

Ubuntu Pro subscribers may extend support of LTS versions by an additional 7 years going forward. Ubuntu Pro is available for Home users and Enterprise / business customers. The subscription is free at the time of writing for Home users and starts at $25 per year and machine for Enterprise customers. Server subscriptions start at $500 per month.

I find this very exciting though as it matches Redhat's support length and should allow you to basically install 1 supported OS for the lifetime of a machine
