  • Average Arch exp

  • archinstall will use systemd-boot by default which is included with the systemd package

  • didn't thought I would read neoliberal nonsense in the comments of an antiwork meme

    "printing money" is a symptom not the cause

  • Disconnecting the internet no longer works, you'll need to open a shell and put in a cryptic command to disable the check or use an email address which got banned

  • there are AUR listings which are more prone to break by "design"
    in particular any custom kernel or out of tree kernel modules (like Nvidia driver)

    the arch linux maintainer keep these in sync so a normal user wouldn't notice any issue (i.e. linux kernel and nvidia driver are rebuilt in tandem) but by using AUR packages you are now in charge of package maintenance

  • this comment shows how the word of mouth actually distorted the argument

    its not the linux philosophy but one sentence of the unix philosophy (linux is not unix)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy

    Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features"

    besides being over 40 years old at this point

    fun fact the linux kernel would actually not really fit this since it is an monolithic kernel

  • on linux it is probably easier to setup podman nowadays with Podman Desktop and being easily available in most repositories while Docker never released their Desktop app on Linux

    on anything else Docker is the least path of resistence currently but who knows if they fuck up again in the future

  • Windows will display a "Let's connect you to a network" or similar screen. The upcoming Windows 11 version 22H2 does not allow you to skip this anymore to create a local account.

    they actually restricted this method, evil

  • CalyxOS released a built too, seems like it as easy to flash like Pixels which is actually refreshing for Android Tablets

  • While this is true the linux kernel + Mesa package versions needs to be new enough in your distro too
    this is the case for Ubuntu 22.04.02 and Ubuntu 23.04 but not for the older but still supported Ubuntu 20.04.04

  • btrfs is included in the linux kernel, zfs is not on most distros
    the tiny chance that an externel kernel module borking with a kernel upgrade happens sometimes and is probably scary enough for a lot of people

  • Bitlocker is only redumentary included in the cheaper Windows "Home" versions
    only the "Pro" version actually includes proper Bitlocker tools which is frankly a pretty stupid move

  • encrypting /home is good if you have multiple users also eCryptfs is also thing for several years just like LUKS/dm-crypt

  • the Chromebooks with ARM processor (the majority of the cheaper ones) are notoriously known to be awful to install any alternative operating system

  • yea also custom domain with catch-all + custom rules on mailbox.org is hilariously powerful and allow you to use an own email address + its own folder for every website without actually creating any alias beforehand

    I also have a hard time understanding how 2,5€ a month is to expensive for someone who most likely owns Apple devices since iCloud is really awful to use without at least one Apple device

  • this depends on how you installed it

  • If you expose ports on IPv4 or IPv6 (port forwarding) anyone can access the service behind these ports if they know your address but so do you too

  • yes just like with a static IPv4

  • This year I started using DynDNS with only my IPv6 address since IPv4 is behind CGNAT and it actually works quite well nowadays
