If you have online banking check in your app, the incoming payment usually says what it is in some kind of code. Will say something like ‘DWP ESA’ or ‘DWP PIP’ somewhere on it

The US 1% still feel they hold this supreme position where sanctions from them will make any country bend the knee. Maybe for the next few years it's true, but times are changing, and European countries especially are becoming more dependent on other places. They're speedrunning empire decline.

All good, just come to realise that most people in Linux are smarter than me so it's always worth a speculative ask 😂

After a fair bit of Googling it seems this motherboard in particular can sometimes not play nice with Linux, and some Realtek sound chip drivers might be especially problematic

Also tried disabling any AMD PBO and RAM XMP

Tried that, getting:

mce: [Hardware Error] CPU 14 Machine Check: 0 Bank 5: bea000000

mce: [Hardware Error] TSC 0 ADDR - bunch of random characters

Same with two different CPUs - motherboard issue?

I like the potential of the decentralisation here, I prefer it to giving Meta a tonne more data. Threads is okay though, probably will end up being a bit more light-hearted than Bluesky.
