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

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

This is a red flag clown circus, dump that girl

I’m glad he decided to do what he had to do which is genocide and child murder

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

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.

Not sure, it’s something that’s being looked into

Why do you think it is that he’s limiting to ginger wagging?

What do you think would happen if he stops giving them weapons and a blanket kill whatever you want okay?

Nah, all of them, really.

Most tech sucks because it’s closed source. Closed source products are typically made with “the least amount of work done to sell for the most amount of buck”. So standards are only sloppily and partially implemented (or sometimes purposefully badly or differently to ensure incompatibility), and bugs after sale won’t be fixed because why would they? They already have your money. Middle managers will work hard to ensure more money goes to advertising and marketing than to actual development.

Then there is the embrace, expand, extinguish mentality (hello Microsoft!) to force customers to stay around their shitty products. Microsoft 365 and teams shit are perfect examples. The company I work at currently uses it and it’s beyond garbage shit that is expensive as hell. Not an hour goes by without me being confronted by bad design, bugs, bugs, bugs, so many bugs… And it’s all designed to ensure you stay in their little walled garden. I can’t change this today, but I’m planning to be rid of it in about a year from now, fingers crossed.

In my experience, open source software is fucking awesome because people built it to actually build something awesome. Standards are implemented to the letter, bugs are fixed, and it all works and looks awesome.

Everybody here things it so funny to talk about how we’ll all die ans it’s all horrible but really?

Lifw is pretty good. Yeah, we’re off worse off today than, say, 30 years ago, but compared to the 4 billion or so years before that? We’re doing awesome.

We have direct communicationto anyone in the world in the palm of our hands. Even the poor got better and nicer food today than kings had 300 years ago. Life expectancy even over the past 100 years has gone up dramatically…

This “we’re living in the worst times ever!” Is kind of like climate change deniers cherry picking a tiny sliver of a huge graph and say “see? Temperatures.are going down!” It’s nonsense. Yeah, things got a bit worse.over the past decade, they’ll get better again soon and we’re still way better off than, say, 1980

You make sense, and I agree, but until kids are no longer jailed or put on sex offender lists for innocent sexting, I’m not going to assume US police officers and the US justice system being as reasoned as you are
