Thanks for the content, bro

Thank you for creating wireless content!

Windows 11, and the group policies doesn't allow us to use WSL. We also can't directly SSH into any servers so we have to go trough a Citrix session to a Windows 10 "admin server" and then SSH or RDP to a Linux server. And Windows Terminal isn't installed on the Windows 10 server, so it's either CMD or the Powershell terminal.

It's absolutely fucking miserable. I'm a Linux sysadmin who do a lot of automation (ansible etc) but also Python development. Try it yourselves and see how long you last! I'm jumping the fucking ship in a month though, thank the gods.

All the result of an over confident "security organization", with a lot of hubris.

But the best part? It's a $5000 work laptop, and my 6 year old Thinkpad (with Linux) runs laps around the thing any day of the week. Opening the file explorer takes, most of the time, 5+ seconds...

Fuck my life, and fuck this company.

Why does it depend on how they were protesting? Why is violence relevant to a university degree in the first place?

A degree should only be revoked in the case of cheating or other cases of gross scientific missconduct relating to said degree, no?

For example, I think the unabomber was a terrible human being, but his crimes should be handled by the police. Not by the uneversites he worked for or got his degree from.

This very much resembles some sort of social credit system.

Why is Fedora packaging their own flatpak of OBS in the first place, when a seemingly working, official one is available on Flathub?

I've been using Emacs for at least 15 years, and man, am I excited to someday learn it.

I used to think XBox controllers were the best controllers on the market. I still think they're very good. That changed when I held the Steam Deck for the first time. The feel is better overall, and in my opinion the track pads are such an obvious and great improvement on the traditional controller design.

Nowadays when I use other controllers, they just feel "bare bones" and like they're missing something.

Writing systemd services for your containers is something yoully have to get used to with podman, pretty much. It's actually very easy with the built in command "podman generate systemd", so you can just do something like " podman generate systemd --name my-container > /etc/systemd/system". I much prefer managing my containers with systemd over the docker daemon. It's nice!

Also, podman can use privileged ports as root, right?

IDK guys, do you think a web browser should be a "broader ecosystem of trusted software" or a web browser?

A day of sorrow indeed... No, joking aside. I gather most people use double click anyway, so this is a good change for that reason. I've never really understood it myself (the primary function of the left click being "select" when everywhere else it's "open" or "go to this thing"?? Alien stuff).

I'm just glad KDE listens to it's users and adapts to them. Looking forward to the release!

Wow that's a beautiful picture! Well done

I'm a sysadmin with a background in computer science, so I'll say any fucking enterprise software on the planet. It's all trash and annoying. I'd run Debian every day of the week over Windows or RHEL and the likes.

I never knew how much I love and appreciate open source/free software until I worked in enterprise...

"But VMWare PERFORMS BETTER than Proxmox!". Yeah, with 10 times the chance of making you depressed.

Haven't heard about Servo for years. Wasn't it a Mozilla project that got abandoned? I might be wrong.

Much of it might be freely available data, but there's a huge difference between you accessing a website for data and an LLM doing the same thing. We've had bots scraping websites since the 90's, it's not a new thing. And since scraping bots have existed we've developed a standard on the web to deal with it, called "robots.txt". A text file telling bots what they are allowed to do on websites and how they should behave.

LLM's are notorious for disrespecting this, leading to situations where small companies and organisations will have their websites scraped so thoroughly and frequently that they can't even stay online anymore, as well as skyrocketing their operational costs. In the last few years we've had to develop ways just to protect ourselves against this. See the "Anubis" project.

Hence, it's much more important that LLM's follow the rules than you and me doing so on an individual level.

It's the difference between you killing a couple of bees in your home versus an industry specialising in exterminating bees at scale. The efficiency is a big factor.

If Fedora wants to promote FOSS then it would make sense to just have it's users enable Flathub if they want to. Instead of outright promote a repository that promotes proprietary software.

If you meant it as moral question, then then answer would probably be that proprietary software does'nt guarantee the same user freedoms as free software. And thus does'nt let users control the software that runs on their own computers.

The Foreman/Red Hat Satellite. Many people wont know what it is, but it's the worst, bugiest, slowest piece of garbage I've ever touched.

Also Windows... I'm a Linux sysadmin but my work computer "needs" to use Windows and I've never disliked it as much as when I've been forced to work with it. Why is the virtual desktop experience so trash???

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the info. I was under the impression that Flathub was a default flatpak repo in Fedora anyway.

But yes, always with these trade-offs. It's bad when package maintainers package software, and it's bad when software developers package software...

Turn it upside down and attach a laser pointer to the arm, classic workaround

Not that unpopular an opinion, I feel like I hear it here and other places quite often. A fair opinion, like any other, but the problem for you is that there is no alternative to Wayland. X is abandonwere, as is Mir. The Wayland specs were written by X shills (I.e the X devs) because X is unmaintainable, so it's going to be very hard, if at all possible, to get other devs to effectively maintain X.

As for immutable distros: I've used Linux personally for a decade and worked as a Linux sysadmin for a few years, and I think immutable distros are great. They make server maintanence and lifecycle management a dream. If you haven't tried using them as server operating systems, I'd highly recommend using openSUSE MicroOS, and just trying it out! Deployments with podman or kubernetes and you have a rock solid, secure, and easily maintained system.
