Canonical historically makes bad decisions. Ubuntu any most points in time is simply great. Their LTS is fab. But they’re hungry. And they screw with us over time. the latest Debian just erased most of the reason to go with Ubuntu adding nonfree, and they haven’t screwed us over.

Wayland is ready, ‘nobody’ else is ready to use Wayland. And by nobody, I mean any software packages that are doing anything at all out of the ordinary. Text expanders are a hot mess, remote control apps or dodgy, OBS screen capture is dodgy. We’re still playing catch up, support for Wayland in applications is honestly quite lacking.

I used to work for an insurer. Our entire health system is just a steaming pile of crap. Providers will double or triple bill. Hospitals raise their rates through the absolute roof so they have room for negotiations. The uninsured people more often than not get billed at the unnegotiated rate which is many times what it should be. If the insurers are short on money or profit margins are down and their stockholders are angry they end up turning down shitloads of procedures looking at the statistics for what’s least likely to cause lawsuits and death. Medicare requires you to go and recertify every patient every year, Mr Johnson’s an amputee, well you better get him back in to make sure he still is or you’re not going to pay for DME. Half the big insurers are still running on Big iron of one form or another, FTP over SSL coming hot off of mainframe.

It’s not a good look.

My job during the release of that movie was to hold the box of tissues in between my girlfriend and her mother.Well, that and not crack jokes or point out plot holes. I was successful but really it didn’t like the movie and still don’t

It works a lot like Lemmy. Everything’s federated, you get to see your local traffic and what the local people on your note are following.

The problem is, peertube is resource intensive. To get the torrent style benefits, you need multiple people watching a given video at the same time.

If you click a link and you’re the only person watching it You’ve got to wait for that one person’s hosted instance to stream you the data which is not necessarily performant.

Lacking options for monetization, and poor performance on less reviewed media are stumbling blocks keeping it from going more mainstream. YouTube is also starting to block people from trying to sync to it which will be another problem.

I suspect once YouTube gets its ad blocker blocking sorted out you might see a resurgence in peer tube as people repost popular YouTube videos around the net without ads.

It’s also kind of a pain in the ass to stand one up from scratch. I scrapped one together in a VM the other day while I was at work, I gave it self-contained redis and postgres and when it got up to the final install step it demanded that I have the URL already lined up and working and you’re not allowed to change the URL after just really disappointing honestly.

To add to that downvotes have no serious negative effect on this platform

In reddit as soon as a few people downloaded you, you disappeared

Here people can brigade you and unless you’re reading top, who cares, your stuff still gets seen.

It will perform a little better than a cell phone sharing internet if your signal is marginal. I’ve never really liked cellular based internet for home, but if it’s all you have…

Thank you for the extra knowledge there most helpful!

eBay reports income. Try marketplace and list items as ask for price.

This by far was what I hated most about Reddit. Oh look a sub where I can finally get a good answer to that question…

Blocked, go take it to tip of my tongue. But they’re not about crowdsourcing… no

ut never called it that. And I mostly would background or foreground tasks. I didn’t

yeah I had no idea about disown, Jesus the number of times I could have used that, I might have never learned tmux or screen :)

Had a little spark of glee looking at a fellow nix user in the wild

Defined in /nix/store/vicfr

Put it in the sauce.

The definitions picked up as a different name from everything almost everybody just refers to it is a generic Trojan.

It could very well just be a false positive but I wouldnt leave it at that.

An offline windows defender scan would be a good idea.

You can always switch over to bitdefender there’s a free version of you search hard enough. Don’t run Windows defender and bit defender at the same time long term but it’s not a bad way to get a second opinion.

I’ve run both. Started with Gnome.

I didn’t absolutely love the UI but it wasn’t bad.

Installed a bunch of plugins poked it, prodded, tweaked it. Made it exactly what I wanted.

One time I tried KDE and found that it was exactly what I was turning gnome into with all the plugins.

Admittedly, I think the Gnome control panels and tools are nicer.

Fuck your GP, get another. You’re having an immune system problem. It might be there’s nothing that can be done, but you need to be properly checked. That pain is your body fighting itself and it’s not good.

I’m the mean time, start a regular regiment of naproxen, soak your knuckles in rather warm water to alleviate temporary pain and get into a new GP ASAP.

/opt/(app)/bin /usr/lib/(app)/bin /usr/lib64/app/bin /usr/local/(s)bin

I know there is logic and mapping of where everything’s supposed to be in theory but in practice s***'s kind of all over the place.

It’s easier to manage security that way.

Instead of having one binary folder full of stuff that’s intended to be run with privilege access and non-privilege access, all the privileged stuff goes in sbin and you don’t even see it in your path as a regular user. It also means that access rights can be controlled at the folder level instead of the individual file level.

I’m not against Rust. I’d like to see something less dangerous with memory than C, but I don’t think it’s time yet for the kernel to leave C.

It’s pretty clean, stable, it’s working well at the moment and the C language (or variants of it) is/are still actively used everywhere. I think the kernel universally going Rust will be a long road of everything under the sun going there first before it’s ported in earnest.

1. Eventually all the people who know and are good at cobol will die.
2. A while before that happens, the people who know it will continually demand more money for their rare skills.
3. Eventually, the cobol systems out there will need to interface new systems in some way it wasn’t designed to and it’ll be more expensive to shoehorn the remote system than to let the ancient beast retire.
