I've never had a car loan in my life. I've never had comprehensive insurance. I've had four cars in 22 years. Only once have I had a car less than 12.6 years old, and just barely. 10y is the sweet spot when I go used car shopping.

My current 2007 C4 grand picasso sitting at 153k km should last me at least another four-five years before I hit my pain point maintenance-wise.

I cracked the windshield on my current car, but that repair cost 1/5 of what 22 years of windshield insurance would've cost, ignoring inflation.

Likely they'll force app/play store to require compliance for the apps published in that region.

Yes, yes, side loading, FOSS. Grandma won't sideload, and responsibility will be on the platform owner. That's you if you run your own matrix server for your grandma.

Resizable BAR was previously cited as a requirement for Intel ARC cards, but I think the drivers today can do without. Sounds like your system might be too old to have that. Might be a soft requirement, as in you'll see a performance drop if you don't have it.

I'd get a HDMI capture card for the tablet, if it supports USB-otg. Just run a program to preview the input on the tablet and connect it like any monitor to your laptop.

Consumer rights in the EU are pretty strong. They include two-week free returns, no questions asked, on things purchased online/remote.

These rights do not extend to businesses, though. Sounds like Amazon is not interested in being helpful unless legislation is twisting their arm.

My RX580 does the job just fine. Does 1080p at 3x realtime for HEVC, and 10x for h.264.

They're dirt cheap second hand.

Overwhelmingly positive.

btrfs every day of the week. The only scenario where I'd even consider something else is for databases that would suffer from CoW.

I've been running it on my home server since 2010. The same array has grown from 6x2TB to 6x4TB, one disk at a time as they've failed. Currently sitting at 2x18TB+1x4TB. No data loss even though many drives have failed.

I'm a unix-guru.

If I were to shave I'd get a -5 penalty on my bash magic.

If I skip showers for a month I can interface directly with any device in /dev

I got my first phone in 1998. It was a nokia 8110, aka the 'banana phone'.

I got my first computer in 1989. It was a Commodore VIC-20. I still have it. 5kB of RAM should be enough for everyone.

Looks a bit like Heather Harmon.

I went with endeavour.

Arch is already on 6.0.4. I'd say we're five weeks into plasma 6. Manjaro is holding it back unusually long.

I haven't tried MX Linux. So they set the distrowatch page as start page in the browser, and users never change it?

Not me, and not Linux, but a school mate found the following bash snippet online :(){ :|:& };:.

Naturally, he tried it on the SunOS servers we had access to for schoolwork. He got his account suspended for the rest of the year.

I think most Linux distros are configured to kill fork bombs nowadays.

People sometimes do this to scout easy targets to rob.

If it didn't move until their next burglary spree, you probably haven't been home since they planted it.

Put it away and ask around if your neighbours had something out of place in their front yard.

And DDOSd the AUR.

Twice.

Manjaro also ruined PINE64.

I stopped doing it when Linux got support for kernel modules around Linux 1.2. It was a real game-changer.

Well, he's credited as the editor overseeing security stuff. Reading between the lines I'd say he's just taking responsibility for the articles correctness.

This article in particular is just so poorly written that you'd forgive me for assuming it wasn't man-written.

I think the AI that wrote the article misunderstood.

Arch doesn't build from release tar balls, but straight from git. Arch also doesn't link sshd against liblzma. So while they've shipped the dirty version of xz utils, at least sshd is not affected.

It's possible that the dirty version affected some of the other things that link liblzma. Like a handful of kde components for example.
