This is an underrated comment here

I'm reading this again and had another thought. On an average Debian server reboot-required is really only ever triggered by kernel upgrades and those happen more often than you want but also not very often. They are also usually worth installing for either security or performance improvements.

It's usually ok to just set a convenient time for unattended-upgrades to run, let it watch for reboot-required and then reboot automatically. If your services can't handle starting at boot or turning off gracefully then you will have other problems anyway.

On the other hand, if even a few minutes of downtime every couple of months at a scheduled time is too much, just disable AUTO-REBOOT in the config file and do it by hand whenever it works for you. It's all good. Do what works best for you, that's the best part of Linux.

needs-restart is another great package that will check if package updates should restart any services to take effect and restart them if so. Goes nicely with unattended-upgrades

There's a package that handles most people's needs called unattended-upgrades. Has some options and some logic to do things like this. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions. Been using it on hundreds of servers for 5+ years.

Oh yeah, this is what I do.

I've been a big fan of Manjaro for exactly that reason. Something breaks occasionally and gives my skills a run for their money but a lot of the difficulty of running a rolling release gets nullified by the testing Manjaro does for you. It's a great compromise, you get almost bleeding edge for much less work than an arch installation can take.

I love me some Debian for their stability and security, I run Debian or Debian based servers mostly. But I wanted something closer to the bleeding edge for my desktop so I could make use of newer features, run newer packages etc...

Also drive Manjaro and I tell people I use Arch, there are dozens of us

I think this is what the kids call "critical reading abilities"

Thanks for providing a strong counterpoint to the click bait narrative, here's a prize 🏆

I missed something here didn't I? Anyone have a link?

Haven't enjoyed the Hularama episodes much until this one. Felt like they managed to land closer to home this time. Maybe we'll get some episodes we'll be proud to call Futurama 🤞.

Same, I stream using the airplay protocol from my Lyrion Music Server and haven't had to touch their app since they arrived. If they fuck with that though so help me god I will write the nastiest things about them on the internets.

Right there with ya.

I didn't realize this, didn't get enough press. Another notch in Biden's belt, that's fantastic!

I think it is measured and professionals who work in areas where this was relevant probably track this number among many others. I think the real question you are asking is why it is always framed as a % of GDP in public discussion and news reporting. Some people here point out how % of GDP can be more useful for comparing across countries with vastly different sized economies but I think we all know the real answer has more to do with how people perceive the value differently by using the larger number. Framing government debt as a % of GDP serves the zeitgeist, whatever that is.

I got upset about this as a child. Years of adults of telling me that the moon was a night only thing and it was all lies.

I understand this reference and I approve o7

There's absolutely a place for generated music. I have no doubt I'll be bobbing my head to some ai beats before long. I think I was just bemoaning the changing of the things. Effort in the cause of good and beauty should always be rewarded.

Not a generic AI hater, just kinda pointing out how this is some generic soulless music. Posts like this used to mean someone spent hours and hours writing the song, recording it or producing it etc... Now it's a subscription and a prompt. Just not the same, even if I hadn't liked the song I would have respected the work but now, I dunno.

Anyway. I gotta give props here for the visuals though, someone clearly put time in there and I appreciated it.

i also use arch btw this some ai shit isn't it
