Oh God no. If I had to use snap to install this, I’ll pass.

Where is that mega thread?

I was about to say…

An infinite amount of monkeys could (depending on how you make the rules) write Shakespeare within a second.

if each monkey just has to type one letter on a page and you just take a group of monkeys in a long line and you read each letter on the line you would read Shakespeare. It would be done in a second.

Because a 5 bit unsigned integer is so much better? :p

Easy. If Trump wins, that picture will be Israel and all Palestinians will be dead and gone.

The death of the sun will then eventually set you free into the gravity well of the sun where you’ll live burning hot untill heat death of the universe. What to do after that is anyone’s guess

Is it? Afaik it very much is not

I kinda wonder how I’ve been watching shows for years, then…

Yeah jellyfin still has a number of issues that should be worked on, but it’s nowhere near as bad as you claim

This is already missing the point that if Harris is not elected, Palestine will be gone. Hell, everyone everywhere in the world will suffer under Trump

FTFY

One wonders how long it will be until the Italian government requires VPN providers to give them access to all their hardware just so they can check and spy in every detail of every citizen because won’t anybody think of the damn children? Eh, I mean, poor media providers? Eh, I mean… Well, something, but won’t anybody think about the something something?? Give us your encrypted traffic!

internet service providers now face a potential prison sentence for failing to report piracy.

You would think that Italy faces a lot of actual, real issues that would require jail time, like bribery, massive fraud, etc. but obviously banks are important enough to just, you know, let them do their thing.

24.10 is the first release I’ve had with major problems

It’s Kubuntu for me, not Ubuntu, but yay shouldn’t matter

Upgrade from 24.04 to 24.10 failed spectacularly, first upgrade failure in like a decade or so?

So I reinstalled, added crypttab and fstab devices, reboot, then that failed. For some reason, crypttab isn’t working right.

In any case, I boot into an emergency she’ll because of that, but systemd (frack systemd, just like snap) complains about /usr/sbin not being a symlink, saying its critical and why it can’t boot

Eh, okay? I merge it with /usr/bin, symlink it, systemd happy. Things still seemed to work, so yay! Well, crypttab still isn’t but we’ll figure it out, let’s get to work first!

Cue a few days later, most has been setup, and I want to install docker. Docker installation failed because a dependency failed to find a file. I can’t even remember the last time that happened. I can’t cancel the install either, so it’s stuck and I can’t install anything else.

After a day I figure out how to cancel the install completely by cancelling literally docker and every dependency, great.

Work a long time trying to investigate what’s wrong, now I find other packages failing as well. Loads of searches later I figure out that apt hates /use/sbin is a symlink. Frack me for listening to systemd

Try to split it again, copying contents of bin to sbin, nope. Try to put backup directories back, nope.

Reinstall, and prep for attempt #3

Install again, all seems okay, but when adding crypttab and fstab devices, won’t boot again.

This release sucks

Yeah see, I’m not sure if he’s serious or not

Never say never, but that is highly doubtful at best. The driver either is there or it isn’t and won’t mount anyway

Yeah and thanks to us you get to enjoy free software, yet you insult us for how we think and try to get and keep open software open.

Up yours

Unless it’s a signed integer, then it’s -1 and they’re expecting something…

Main drive is a 1 1TB super fast m.2 device, backup drive is an 8TB platter drive with btrfs.

Bunch of scripts I wrote myself copy all important stuff to the platter drive every night using rsync, then makes a snapshot with current date. Since its all copy on write, i have daily backups for like 3 years now. Some extra scripts clean up some of the older backups, lowering the backup frequency to once a week after a year, once every 4 weeks after 2 years.

I have similar solutions for my servers where i rsync the backups over the Internet.

Way back in the day (say 1990) I used the Commodore Amiga platform, loved it, made me want to become a developer. It also already back then instilled a hatred for Microsoft in me.

Then windows 95 happened, the Amiga platform pretty much died, and I reluctantly switched to using Microsoft windows. For years I gave it a chance, I really did! I hated pretty much everything about it, except total Commander and Irfan view

Somewhere in 99 i bought a mini home server, and a friend of mine installed Slackware. I managed to break it within days and thought Linux was just too hard.

Then in 2001 or so I started working with a Redhat server, I believe first over telnet, then SSH and I started learning about the command line and loved it. I leaned compiling which was a bit of a drag to have to always do, but then I learned about packages and very shortly after that, package managers (yum was the first, I believe) and fell in love.

Then in 2002, I believe, I saw either fedora or Redhat desktops and learned about dual installations. I installed fedoara next to my windows install so that o could try it and work with the familiar windows, but I loved it so much that I quite literally never looked back. 3 months later I deleted my windows partition.

2004, I think, I switched to Ubuntu with KDE which later became Kubuntu.

I worked on a Linux desktop machine that allowed on 1 gigabyte Celeron CPU computer with one internal graphics and 4 graphics cards, usb splitters and usb Audio, keyboards, and mice, 5 users to work with KDE on that single computer. Novus, it was called. The project was a technical success and a huge commercial failure and since it was with an external investor, we weren’t allowed to make it open source, unfortunately.

I started working in a large data center in Latin America in around 2007, I believe, as a senior Linux administrator for 4 years, had a lot of laughs at the expense of the windows team, seeing how clunky and work intense their windows servers were in comparison with my Linux servers.

Some four-five years later I started my own software development company, all Linux only. Everyone, including the devs, secretaries, sales, all worked on Linux machines. I transferred ownership someone else, and the company still persists.

But I’ve been on Linux desktop only for well over 20 years now, still using Kubuntu or sometimes KDE neon or mint, but I’m “old” and much less interested in experimenting, I need a stable dependable desktop but I love the bling like KDE 3D desktop to show off to windows users to get them over to the dark side, we got cookies.
