Why do you use the distro you use?

Jump

  • I mostly use it for accessing my servers when I leave home. So, no need for constantly updating it. I prefer to install the OS and forget about maintaining it on that device.

    • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • I have Debian on a laptop that I don't use that much, and I use Nix package manager for managing the apps I use.

    Running Arch was a nightmare, as I was updating once every 1-2 months and I was getting lots of conflicts.

    • ...and then I just buy another drive!

    Jump

  • I am still trying to figure out what is going since Win 7, and it takes so much space (I don't know about Vista)

  • Being on the IT industry, I can assure you that AI can teach you more stuff than most teachers. But that's not to give credit to AI, it's a result of my country, and many others, not investing on education.

    • BuT I CaNT MaKE cIrCLeS in GiMp!

  • Docker Engine, without the Docker Desktop licensing and VM overhead

    • Will you pay $500?

    Jump

  • Horse Power

    • At this point I think I would

  • Bruuuhh!!! I usually just press deny all, without reading.

    • EU: These are scary times – let's backdoor encryption!

    Jump

  • Would hosting in Albania be a solution? It's in the Europe continent, but it's not a member of European Union. UK is also fighting encrypted communications.

    • EU: These are scary times – let's backdoor encryption!

    Jump

  • My question is: even if EU manages to apply laws for backdooring encryption, wouldn't cybercriminals just use different tools? They may force Signal to backdoor its encryption, but what about Briar? Will they backdoor the Tor network? Will they ban it entirely? What about Matrix? They can't prevent offshore encrypted instances.

    • Still less cursed than Gentoo with Ansible

    Jump

  • After implementing Brainfuck and Sudoku in Nix, I was thinking of implementing a backend framework. However, I decided that I am not insane enough for that.

    • Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis

    Jump

  • I had ignored the video, as I didn't expect Mark to expose Tesla

    • We are so cooked

    Jump

  • Because someone told us

    • Linux is too hard

    Jump

  • I bet Windows Updates are signed. Uncovering the signing key would probably have serious consequences.

    • Rust? Like what's on some metals?

    Jump

  • Yes. It's an app called termux, which is like having Debian on Android

    • Rust? Like what's on some metals?

    Jump

  • I am on 1.8.0

    • Rust? Like what's on some metals?

    Jump

  • It's not working...

    • Rust? Like what's on some metals?

    Jump

  • Other metals can corrode as well. It's not only iron oxidation.

    • Linux is too hard

    Jump

  • As a kid helping his family's XP and 7 computers, I had faced plenty of issues.

    My favorites:

    • One computer (I think XP) didn't use the correct resolution on Intel's driver, and needed Windows's fallback driver
    • One computer (I think 7) required Windows's fallback driver for audio, and Windows Update was installing VIA's or Realtek's drivers

    • Linux is too hard

    Jump

  • I think that spreading Windows across Linux machines is easier. Linux's root can be remounted as tmpfs, allowing the boot drive to be re-imaged. I don't know if Windows can do that.
