Yeah, it's just the spec, not a finished implementation.

Are mechanical drive resistant to bit flips?

No, but they don't lose charge over time, so bitflips are less likely if they lay around for a long time. However they are less resistant to mechanical failures, so it's kind of a trade-off.

If you use a sane backup software it should be able to just overwrite all the data making bitflips hardly relevant.

SSDs lose charge over time. Within a year, bitflips might occur. I recommend going with an HDD with a shockproof case.

This ineo t2580 looks good but I can't seem to find the maximum capacity. Try not to use HDDs over 12TB and you should be fine.

Need more info. Distribution, logs (journal), error messages...

You forgot 'pecuniam non olet'.

Exactly!

Yeah it's basically Pulseaudio, but better. The devs have done a great job on iterating upon the already pretty good pulseaudio!

yes! It saves so much money if you can cook properly and don't have to rely on expensive restaurants for "fancy" food.

Programming or scripting; usually Python would be enough to reduce the average repetitive workload of office workers by about 20%.

I found Barrier to be quite good in that regard for text in the clipboard, but think it doesn't do file copying. Would be awesome if it had that feature, so clipshare might be good to extend Barrier.

Yes, but you can also do it today if you didn't do it years ago :)

Good point, but the protagonists in Detroit are the marginalized.

The amount of times my Windows installation(s) broke is just as high as the amount of times my Linux installations had issues. The article you quoted seems to be from someone with more Windows experience than Linux experience.

One example: FileZilla is a capable GUI SFTP and FTP client, but so is nearly every file manager. I can drag and drop files from Dolphin into a fuse mounted FTP, SMB or SFTP folder just fine. Skill issue?

EDIT: omg, I just realised they use WinSCP for deploying applications. It really seems like a skill issue since you can automate that even without proprietary clouds. I can probably replace this person with a PowerShell script, which is even more efficient than them doing their job on Windows.

All operating systems sadly need lots of maintenance nowadays. The main reason I use Linux is that I feel in control of the system and the vendor doesn't actively try to fuck with my installation.

much cloud, very native, wow

Is that a fork of NixOS?

NixOS according to my local fetish community.

We are really experiencing a cloud native generation. These Zoomers don't even know how life was without a cloud over their heads.

Or a funny one.
