So I realize it's an older card, but I would like to get the 8k going, and the manufacturer specs say this is supported:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/geforce-gtx-1080/specifications/

However, when I go into Display Properties, no 8k option is specified. The list tops out at 4096x2160 (5k I guess?) which looks  ...

Current Method to Mount /tmp in 22.04 and Newer with noexec

I've read various other questions and answers and all of the guidance for mounting or changing the mount options for /tmp involve /etc/fstab or /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/tmp.mount. However, I have looked on Ubuntu 22.04 and fstab has no entry for /tmp and the other file does not exist.

Brand new install of Kubuntu 22.10: 22.10 repositories are unavailable, can't open terminal, settings, users, snaps
in flag

So, two issues with new install of 22.10:

  1. Discover wouldn't load because none of the repositories have "release files." Apt doesn't work for the same reason. Thus, unable to install software. Snaps don't work either.

  2. I can't open any tools: terminal, settings, users.

What gives? It's an install only about fifteen minutes old.

If 'fsck' has to run and do some repair, shouldn't a 'Timeshift' restore be run?

My reason for asking is that fsck probably has to make assumptions which may not be correct and hide a lingering problem. Running a Restore is more likely to result in a stable system?

Share one directory on Ubuntu computer with another Ubuntu computer

I would like to share folders on one computer with another. Both are Ubuntu. I already have samba shares to Windows computers. Both are on the same network.

I am a bit confused on the various options that are available. It seems some options such as NFS are oldish and less secure. I would like to use the one that is most efficient / secure.

Thanks for directing me to the most current approach.

I seem to be having an issue on microk8s that when I run a pod / container as non-root in Microk8s it cannot bind to port 80 even though I had the NET_BIND_SERVICE capability enabled.

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
