The "Peter" bit reminded me:
Years back, there was a viral trend on Dutch socials where women shared a hashtag "I am Peter" to raise awareness that there were more people named Peter in Boards of Directors than women.
These days, I'd feel a little bad having a regular payment [...] I don't need any financial support to keep doing this, I'm lucky enough to not need financial support [...] The absolute best way to "support the comic" is to introduce more people to it [...]
Wonder where you got that idea for Konsi's personality from 🤔
smart notification of updates that are below a certain confidence that it won't break stuff
rollback: simply git revert
the whole shebang
Some stacks that work well with GitOps are:
k8s + Flux or ArgoCD
Nix(OS)
Mixing them is a LOT of complexity though. Just pick whichever you are most comfortable with. If you want a declarative immutable OS just for running k8s, check Talos Linux.
If you don't want to deal with GitOps, Nix or k8s, and you don't need recent versions, just run Debian and set a cronjob for auto updates. Then only deal with potential breaking changes just once every 5(?) years or thereabouts.
I think the Gripens are mostly good at operating in austere conditions. Snowy roads for runways, short distances, quick turnaround with one professional crew chief and a few conscripts, low operating cost per hour, etc.
You know, the most boring but most important part of warfare: logistics.
The French have (had?) a bit of a reputation in electronic warfare. I remember reading about (3rd gen) Mirage F1s (maybe it was Mirage 5) with Barrax jamming pods absolutely beating the shit out of fresh new 4th gen F-16A in the 80s in exercises, due to their jamming pods and BVR capabilities. Dassault still claim that their Rafale's EW system is good enough to provide some sort of stealth.
But I don't think anything made in Europe today gets close to what the US and Israel are doing in Electronic Warfare.
stability: only have breaking changes once every 6 months
just-works-factor: shipping drivers and whatever proprietary code is necessary to have a smooth out of the box experience
That I know of, beside maybe OpenSUSE (have no experience with it) is Kubuntu 24.10. Yes apt will say weird things and you'll want to uninstall snapd.
But Kubuntu 24.10, current latest, ships with Plasma 6.1. Current stable, Kubuntu 24.04 ships with Plasma 5 still.
But I assume you're not a fan of the rolling release model like EndeavourOS (Archlinux based, KDE is the default).
So if you want recent packages AND a versioned release model, that leaves only Fedora out of the distros I'm familiar with. They recently promoted the KDE version from a Spin to a full version beside the GNOME version.
But Fedora is much heavier on the FLOSS philosophy, and not as works-out-of-the-box as Mint or any Ubuntu flavor.
Debian isn't, but it will take a long time for Plasma 6.3 to make it to Debian stable.
So yeah, I guess OpenSUSE may be your best bet EDIT: took a quick look, there's a rolling release model of OpenSUSE called Tumbleweed. But you probably don't like rolling release. And a versioned one called Leap. The current latest Leap version still ships Plasma 5 so that still isn'r nearly as recent as Fedora, which has had Plasma 6 in the last TWO versions.
It's about self-hostable alternatives to closed online software. It doesn't say anywhere that the hardware has to be in your own home, just that it is about self-hostable software.
Similarly, !selfhosting@slrpnk.net is about self-hosting services, the hardware part is (even with the slrpnk folk) only a prefetence.
So feel free to discuss hosting your own services on a VPS here
What is the F-35C doing in the popular club?
The Canadians wanted an F-35 with a refuelling probe and a shorter landing roll, and they would sooner throw a chute and a probe on an F-35A than get a Charlie.
Even the USN only got it because they were forced to, and clearly prefer their Super Hornets.
Nobody likes you, F-35C
Meanwhile Elf Ears has scored with Czech Republic, Hungary and Brazil.
And the sexy but truly unbearably arrogant French gal has scored with Croatia, Egypt, Greece, India, Qatar.
Motion sensors. The mmWave are very sensitive but also expensive. Nice for rooms where you sit still or lie down for longer periods, such as an office or bed room. PIR sensors are the cheap ones, very useful for hallways, stairs, kitchen and toilets.
Some smart plugs measure current. Innr has a nice zigbee smart plug with a physical button and monitoring for around €20.
FYI If you have a Zigbee bridge, you can just connect most zigbee devices to it and you are not tied to the app or devices of the bridge's brand.
