Yep Farœ Islands can be pretty windy. This here is Múlafossur waterfall, near Gásadalur. One of the most magical places I have ever visited.

That's part of the issue: in the picture is written "Terminal", so I expect to find it if I search Terminal. I don't care what is the real name under the hood, I'm searching something for the name you have given me.

I switched to Bazzite on my gaming rig a month ago and felt great. I managed to install and mod Skyrim effortlessly and yesterday I installed Tarkov and SPT with no problem whatsoever. Highly recommend.

But check if your favorite games are compatible, mainly the multiplayer ones: Tarkov can only be single player PvE, GTA is story mode only and forget about Destiny 2. Not a problem for me, plenty of alternatives, but you should check for yourself.

For #1 you wanna try Magic wormhole. Maybe it's less user-friendly than you need it to be, but it works and there are lots of implementations for different owes (don't know about iOS though).

Dev here. It's not a challenge.

  • you make one last patch to the game that enables the user to change the address of the servers required (for authentication or whatever).
  • you release the server for free.

This way you are not losing money (you are not making any either, but that's why we are here) and the users can install the game and the required components to run it.

The most "challenging" thing you must do, on the server or in the game, is eventually authorized everyone, but I can't see this as a challenge...

I'm Italian and I would try this. Also, fudge those "purists" of Italian food: every family has it's own recipe for everything different from their neighbors', there's no or little historical documents about dishes still served and most "based" Italian food was invented by Italian emigrants coming back home with inspiration from where they were.

Cuisine is mixing and experimenting, tradition is the death of good food.

The flamberges were never used in combat, they are cerimonial swords used in parades to display wealth and prowess: the flame shape of the blade was very difficult to forge, and only most proficient bladesmiths were able to do it, charging an hefty sum for it. Plus they are way bigger and heavier for most combat use.

Landsknechts used very big two handed swords swinged horizontaly at head heigth or above to cut the enemy pole weapons. As such, they were supposed to die quickly (two days of combat was the average), and they received double pay, double rations of food and better barracks. So the sword was as cheap as possible, because it was likely to be missing at the end of the battle. Plus the flame shape is not very sturdy and its quite impratical, its only really beautiful.

Source, I'm an HEMA athlete in Italy for an association that promotes the study of renaissance combat.

He's right: I use only 501s straight, and after a year at most the fabric between the thighs is very thin if not ripped (yes, I am chubby).

On the other side, I have an old pair of jeans of unknown maker dismissed from my uncle which I use weekly for yard work: ten years in my possession, unwashable stains, destroyed sockets, but the fabric is still perfect.

It is not stupid, it just has a different use case.

It's not, it's a problem of every package manager that do not use sources and checksums, like rust and python. Take a look at this article that does a better job then me at explaining the situation.

My 2cents: Bezos money comes from other people's works, entertainers money comes from the perception that other people has of their work. Of course there are exceptions.

On my 2014 PC I'm using Fedora 44 with KDE, which defaults to Wayland: not problems whatsoever, but some applications say "Wayland support is experimental, beware".

I switched to X11 after a suggestion to debug some issues with a game. The issues was not fixed, all the other applications I've tried are still working flawlessly. PLUS the KDE night light feature is working (was not in Wayland). So I stayed with X11.

On my wife MacBook (2015) I installed Kinoite, defaults to Wayland. Everything works, but Rustdesk renders VERY small. I have not tried X11 on that, and will not try it.

Try both with all your applications and setups and choose the smoother experience. Make security a secondary priority: if it was the first you have less attack surface sticking to terminal only.

I literally installed it 5 days ago on my 14 yo PC: Fedora was too much ahead for my hardware, Slackware had some incompatibilities with it, Debian was crawling slow.

Gentoo is really good: took a day to install it because I needed to learn how to use lvm with initramfs on uefi and some other small things. Not much recompiling thanks to binary repository.

And its blazing fast, my PC is flying like its 2014 again!

Today I have to recompile qtwebengine because I need digikam, and this will take time I guess. But for now I think its worth it.

Unfortunately this is the beauty and the bane of choice and freedom: everyone has it's own opinion of what is good and what is not, and can easily make it so, fragmenting the offer and confusing the newbie losing it to the less free alternative. Works in Linux, works in politics.

There is no way to have freedom of choice AND a united front against the alternative.

Broadcom hardware (WiFi cards an webcams in particular). Plus there are quirks with some proprietary driver version not building against some kernel version...

With unsupported hardware and closed drivers you are always on the lookout for some breakage.

And it's not a Linux problem nor a complaint on distro maintainers. It's manufacturers that are shit.

In my case, I was not able to make jellyfin work: transcoding issues, lagging, client disconnection or unresponsive... Plex worked flawlessly out of the box with the same hardware and the same library.

From time to time I try Jellyfin again, but things never change ..

My experience with Bazzite was good but far from perfect. It worked out of the box, but was really slow compared to a Fedora Kinoite installed on a lower-spec laptop. Then I have some issues with flatpaks, but that was my fault for not understanding the system and being to used to a traditional linux (I'm coming from Slackware and Debian). But the last straw was the driver/kernel combo which broke some of my games: they work day 1, starts to crash after an update and no load at all after another upgrade. It was because my PC was really old and the hardware and the drivers are not supported anymore on the main kernel, so it's kind of a ME problem and one which I would have with other modern distros, but is also a problem that is harder to fix on Bazzite then other distros. Not impossible, but harder beyond what was my available patience.

So I switched to Debian stable, everything works, my PC is faster then ever and I have no fear of broken updates.

Bazzite is really great, but it's not for everyone.

You are right, licensing could be an issue. But as others said this is not a retroactive law, so new software must be developed accounting for a "free" redistribution. Hardcoded paths are just bad practice.

Never said it's easy, but it's not that hard. At my job we are required to deploy the whole server infrastructure on-premise, so we only use software with MIT license or something that allows us to distribute to our clients without disclosing the source code. We've been doing this for the last 20-ish years, our software accepts easily hundred of thousands of connections and with Docker and similar tech the whole thing can run on standalone PC (with performance limitations of course).

It's not easy, but it's doable. And that it's all that is required by this proposal.

Yes: it was the only way to update the software inside. It was so old some pages refused to load, and was really slow. It was a painless and quick procedure and it has been working better than ever since then: decent hardware with (now) very good software.
