I intend to use a Gen 3 CPU, which will be able to benefit from the newer kernel in offered by Leap 15.6.
But you can simply use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed NOW and get an even newer kernel, 6.8.1, duh.
Besides, you've dithered for months buying parts. Spent what--a month?--on the case. Never been in any rush. So think of another part to dither over. Better fan? Add-in card?

Nothing. It's not in development now but in public beta testing. Public. Thereafter there'll be bug fixing.
And you know that. You merely want an excuse for the usual blathering.
22 hours ago, GammaGlobulin said:I don't really mind, too much, first installing 15.5, and then upgrading. However, in the past, I have found that upgrading (versus doing a new and clean install), is not quite as good. I always try to do NEW INSTALLS, whenever possible.
So after using 15.5 you can install 15.6 from the .iso. No need to upgrade.
Let's see REAL pics of your supposed new computer, not just product images. It's actually just a fantasy, no?
I'll leave it that. Normally I have you blocked, but this was good for a laugh.

Has anyone submitted a computer printed TM7 that's in black ink to Jomtien Immigration and its been accepted?
Yeah, been doing it for years, no problem. I sign prominently w/ a blue fountain pen.
@Confusciousalways jumps into these threads to troll about his rogue IO and spread FUD. How much is true, or how much he'd pis*ed off the IO already, we'll never know. In any case, pay no attention to that outlier.

Participating in Songkran festivities and it’s only being reported NOW?
Seems that after all the medical reports, autopsy, and other paperwork the relatives finally realized there was the matter of the funeral & disposition of the remains. The GoFundMe is NOW active, so publicity needed to rake in the cash.
'Course, cremation and scattering of ashes can be arranged quite inexpensively here in Thailand, a country he'd loved. I once knew an old Brit adamant that's what he wanted for himself; that's what he got, too.

Maybe you did or maybe you didn't. Maybe he was fit enough to pull his luggage w/o problem. Maybe he finds the bus more comfortable for a trip to BKK. I do, and it's safer as well. I buy two seats and put the luggage in the seat beside me. I'll take a taxi for quicker trips if I need to.
It's not your business. Some take buses, others don't. Worry about yourself.

First off, how do you know they're burned out and have run out of cash? There are many people here that have a load of retirement cash but still sit in bars buying 60 baht beer so you might think they're scraping by....
True. The topic is just one of the OP's constant attempts, complete with fictional incidents, to feel superior and enjoy schadenfreude.

My better half told me - she has a business accross from HR on 2nd Rd. I will chastise her for not taking pics.
They were here for Cobra Gold too, less than 12 months ago. Huge queues for the ATM at 7/11. I saw that with my own eyes.
If so, the strict rules against liaisons with prostitutes still are in effect, so I doubt much activity will be going on for our members to w*nk over. Female service members will be along, for good or ill, rather dicey since the Tailhook scandal.

Disingenuous feigning ignorance. Stonewalling, and they don't have a sufficient majority. Couldn't even get Mayorkas. The DOJ itself can't, or rather won't, prosecute that "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
So I'll leave you with the last word, as you're really just trolling.

How did Beria's dictum work out for Joe Biden?
Working great w/ regard to lawfare against Trump. And great for him, too, since he's protected by the leftists in power. No prosecution for him for willful retention and revelation of classified documents, hee hee. No prosecution for him and Hunter for suppressing the truth about the laptop before, and after, the election. Tara Reade's credible allegation of sexual assault ignored, swept under the carpet. Etc., etc.

what do you guys store on that?
For most in need of larger capacity, media files probably take up the most space. Some of us, notably the non-hipsters among us, find little worth streaming. Movies or series we like may not be available in the future anywhere, let alone currently streamed. To watch them again in the future, they have to be stored. Really hi-res movies good for display on large 4K screens represent large files indeed.

Years ago I looked into getting a .th domain name but found them far more expensive than just a .com. Didn't need one anyway, so abandoned the idea.

One of our most beloved fantasies, always repeated when a US ship visits. But for about 10 years now the sailors have been prohibited shore leave here; engagements with prostitutes strictly forbidden under serious penalty.
This all came out again during Cobra Gold. After all the nonsense and refusals to accept the reality on the forum, not one sailor was spotted in Pattaya. NONE was to be seen on Soi 6, Walking St., etc.
So then we had a deafening silence in the fantasy thread. 🙂
Some of you old farts badly need updating, sitting there at your keyboards imagining this or that.

Nope. Mueller and Durham already investigated exhaustively. Despite all the spin, quibbles, and gaslighting by leftists since then, if there were really anything more, Garland would have jumped on it like a dog on a bone. Sorry, big disappointment, but the political vendetta continues.🙂

Bitter is when you then concoct a Russian hoax and do everything you can to undermine a legit prez, at great cost to the taxpayers. Fail.

Has continued into a politically-motivated trial, yes. Happens when the victim can't be intimidated into silence or capitulation.
24 minutes ago, earlinclaifornia said:Political persecution can refer to political repression, which is when a state entity controls a citizenry by force for political reasons. This can include:
Fear tactics like torture, extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, and political imprisonment
Restricting civil liberties like freedom of movement, association, speech, and assembly
Internet censorship
Unfair administrative hurdles for registering demonstrations
Ban on political parties
Restricting access to information
Tracking the political opposition
Acts of violence
Yup, that's some of what the Biden admin, cronies, and thugs are continuing to try to do, and more, with additional subtleties to add in. And no, I'm not going to get into one your bickering loops, as you'll end in silence only to try a different one. It's a religion. 🙂

But it's not from the National Enquirer. Since you didn't click on the link and read the article, you don't know who it's from. So just the usual mindless knee-jerk. 🤣

if you do not want to be charged with crimes then it might be a good idea not to commit crimes and leave massive piles of evidence behind.
Sad. That's not at all how it works with political persecution. "Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime," Lavrentiy Beria famously said. What wasn't a crime, becomes a crime (with law enacted retroactively if necessary) or is simply alleged to be possibly a crime that'll have to be defended at ruinous cost, possibly (even probably) before biased jurors. Ruination of a career may be threatened:
Jay Bratt, the special counsel’s lead prosecutor, allegedly threatened Trump staff member Walt Nauta’s attorney, Stanley Woodward, with sabotaging his judicial nomination to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia if he could not get Nauta to turn on Trump, according to a newly unsealed motion originally filed in June 2023.
Indictments, to which our more feminine members cling religiously, don't mean a lot, as a good prosecutor can get a ham sandwich indicted. No defense is presented.
I'll leave it at that, because you're too naive for this discussion, and it's the usual waste of time attempting to educate.

New Build Nearing Completion: How can I speed-up release of openSUSE Leap 15.6 (STABLE)?
in Linux
Posted
But, you see,
Tumbleweed is in fact quite stable and commonly used as a daily driver. Since, with OpenSUSE, you'd format / as btrfs, you can easily roll back using snapper; or, of course, Timeshift.
Moreover, you can also start now using the new OpenSUSE Slowroll version, ahead of Leap and slightly behind the rolling release Tumbleweed for more assured stability.
Finally, you can just switch to Fedora KDE. Version 40, out RIGHT NOW, includes a later version of the kernel, 6.8, than will Leap 15.6. Fedora's updated twice as often as Leap, so is even more cutting edge, needed to get the most out of your imagined supercomputer. VERY stable & useable. So you use dnf instead of zypper, no big deal, and dnf has a lot of appreciative fans. KDE is KDE. Plasma.
No doubt, for the little you really need, you could use most any Linux distro. MX Linux, one of THE most stable out there, based on Debian LTS, has a KDE spin. Lot of nice extra tools, too. Theme it like OpenSUSE and you'd hardly know the difference, except apt substitutes for zypper.
Oh, for now you can just share a pic of your boxes, trivial, no reason not to. Common practice on computer forums by posters anticipating their builds. Let's see those.
