There’s no right answer.

By that, I mean everyone dies with regrets: regrets about living too wildly, regrets about living too conservatively, having kids, not having kids, missing out on an opportunity, or risking too much.

You’re going to reach the end of your life and believe it’s unfinished, it seems.

I have no advice. Make the best choice at the moment, with all you know at the time, and then forgive yourself for it, I guess.

Pay attention in school, kids, lest you miss learning what a binary choice is.

And evolution.

Never forget this.

Yeah, I wouldn’t trust Skippy either.

Systemd is the Kanye West of vibe-coding.

1. Take a non-stop Linux box where even the kernel can be patched while it’s hot
2. Glance at d-bus sideways
3. Now you must reboot.

I don’t know why but I just found it incomprehensible.

#alwaysHasBeen, but for us graybeards the confusion has been “this is a solution with no problem” and “it’s eaten WHAT now?”

“Go edit the source” is starting to look like the new “let them eat cake”.

How quickly you trivialize the work of the experienced kde devs that some pedestrian can wander in and mod a large project without fear.

Fedora

Any RPM-based system has exemplary validation and, as long as we don’t throw it out with flatsnappimages, it presents a very clean and maintainable install.

Extra points for PCLinuxOS which has avoided lennart’s cancer.

No points for SuSE as they continue to exist as the over engineered bastard child of slackware and RPM, like slackware met 73deJeff on a trip and let the tequila do the talking. Mamma mia!

I thought houses would look drastically different in the future

I’m only impressed to learn that the houses for sale in this area for 1.8m are 110 years old and 110x as expensive as when built.

I’m supposed to wade through all the log files in /var/log myself??

You configured your logging. You could have made them all one file.

predictable and consistent.

Or none of those.

Oh. My NIC didn’t ‘start’ because systemd and network manager are fighting again? Neet.

Former OS security here (I worked at an OS vendor who sold an OS or two and my job involved keeping it secure).

Fuck no.

Sorry if that makes you downvote, but it doesn’t make them safer.

30 years ago we called this Beepilepsy. You fail History.

2024

New building code for rentals stipulates one room must be capable of cooling to 26c or lower. This building was built to that code.

So we have AC. It’s fantastic.

Just find me the place where ‘u’ is still relevant, like they’re using pre-T9 1996 phones and are too lazy to press [9][9][9][6][6][6][8][8] to spell a real world, so I can give them all phones that won’t continue wrecking their wrists from the weight.

Nevermind. They’re a lost cause. Nuke it from orbit.

I get a reward every two weeks.

I tailor my work commitment based on it.

"I can’t hear you. What’s your extension again?

It’s seriously the second question I ask on a cold call. If they really are my bank / etc , then they’ll give me that super fast. If they try to give me a number, I assure them I have it in the phone book.

So many scams derail when you’re calling back an internal extension from the well-known switch-board number.

Comma splice party.

I can survive in 9c but 100c will kill me.
