You’ll need to update to a point release sooner or later.
Are you the kind of person who lives to peel off the band-aid or pull it off in one go?
I prefer to peel mine. I’ve learned from pulling stitches by ripping it off.
On a more serious note: btrfs and timeshift are 👌. If there ever is a botched package, I’ll just roll back to this morning and keep working. It’ll probably be fixed by tomorrow.
The Laestadian sect from my neck of the woods are big on forgiveness. If I had a quarter for every time this story has surfaced, I’d have a nice mixed bag of beers for the weekend. I might get alcohol poisoning if I had a quarter for all the stories that never surfaced.
imagine if Microsoft made it impossible to install apps outside of its windows app store, no would accept that, so why do we accept it for mobiles OS’s
I felt like Apple was going down that route. You have to jump through so many hoops to run programs that aren’t signed by one of their $99/y certificates.
The final drop for me when I was unable to remove Music.app. it’s on a shadowed read-only partition that rebooting updates write to. Extra many hoops to unlock the same to do changes to it (that might make stuff flaky).
I ran it 2003-2006ish.
Having a package manager that updates online was a game changer for Linux distributions.
I had been using slackware for 6 years prior, and there was no real update path. Best case you’d just get the latest release on CD and install it over your (hopefully) separate root partiton.
Conpiling all your stuff sounded like a good idea in the age of the architecture options at the time. Alpha, Crusoe, PowerPC, SPARC and MIPS were all viable options.
I wonder if those DevOps cost $72M/h.
Otherwise I have an idea that might save AWS some money.
I have two machines running the latest kernels on EndeavourOS. One with a Radeon RX 7900 XTX has no issues.
The other one has a Radeon 6650 XT, which since a week or two ago starts getting kworker threads stuck while throwing errors about fence queues. Load can go up to the hundreds (while there’s no real load, but just blocked threads), until the machine crashes.
As I recall there was an amdgpu firmware update around the time it started happening, but the changelog on the amdgpu kernel driver hints at solving similar issues.
You guys have your own basement?
If you’re coming from a feature phone - it’s great!
If you’re coming from a modern smartphone, you probably won’t be happy with it as a daily driver.
I’m voting with my feet, but carrying two devices.
Maemo on the N900 was close, but MeeGo on the N9 was there. The Ovi store even had the hot apps of the era.
Fuck Microsoft for killing that dream.
I have a Xiaomi Mi A2 that I ran ubuntu touch on. The camera didn’t work, and it was based on ubuntu 16.04. They’ve dropped support for it now. It was not ready to be a daily driver.
I should be getting a poco x3 nfc in the mail tomorrow. It should have excellent support on both postmarketos and ubuntu touch. I don’t expect it to be a daily driver, but I can’t get the idea out of my head. I don’t like where iOS and Android are headed.
GPT has been quite hit and miss for me, but Claude is usually quite solid.
It needs micromanaging, otherwise it will do bad design decisions and go off on unrelated side quests. When micromanaged it’ll get you to that MVP very fast.
The trap is that you need to be able to find the errors it makes, or at least call them out immediately. Trying to have co-pilot fix it’s own mistakes is usually a neverending prompt-cycle.
It can summarise big code bases fast, and find how things fit together a lot faster than me. It’s been very useful when being thrown in head first into a new project.
He’s all Finnish. His mother tongue just happens to be a (official) minority language.
Even a broken clock is right two times per day.
OpenSUSE has a 32-bit build.
Running modern web browsers is no fun.
Same here. I had been sticking to Ubuntu flavours for over 15 years.
I live in a 50 year old house. All the breakers are 16A, so 220V x 16A = 3.5kW
The electric sauna does three-phase @ 400V. My energy tracker usually peaks around 9.5kW when it’s heating.
I started 28 years ago with Slackware 3.0, then Gentoo, Ubuntu, took a detour via OS X, then back to Ubuntu, now Arch.
What? What did the moderator of r/jailbait do now?
