Hostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.

Rust:

Hit the right arrow key once (and stop using Twitter).

That's sad that Mozilla has to take it into their own hands to provide a proper alternative to Snap Firefox.

Governments trying to ban end-to-end encryption be like:

While reading the question I thought: "That's not how Watts work", but then this "answer" hit...

I didn't really keep track, but I would estimate around 10-15 minutes on a Ryzen 5800X.

That's GDPR coming through.

We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

Nothing new, but shows that there is absolutely no attempt to find a compromise. I won't be coming back on Wednesday.

Obviously two of the literally magical free energy synthesizers.

Because even if you pay them, RedHat won't allow you exercising your GPL rights and redistributing the sources.

I want to make a joke about how terrible the name is with just throwing in an 'a', but I don't think it would be right since I'm using Fira Code.

In essence, Red Hat requires their customers to choose between (a) their software freedom and rights, and (b) remaining a Red Hat customer.

A very good writeup, made me better understand the way Red Hat is creatively interpreting the GPL. I hope they won't just get away with this and go back to better cooperating with the FOSS community.

Yeah, not gonna do that.

I knew that shell files, especially in build systems can get hard to read, but this was absolutely painful to look at from start to finish, even with the very helpful explanations in between. Of course the obfuscation is mostly done by design in this case.

Yes, that seems correct to me. I would also say that the flat layout is preferable because it makes dealing with snapshots later easier. When snapshotting the rootfs subvolume you won't have to keep track of where exactly the home subvolume is located and it is easier to boot into a different rootfs snapshot.

Tiling at the window level makes much more sense and is technologically more sound than pushing windowing into the terminal output. Also see this comment by the creator of the kitty terminal emulator.

Neovim for me. There are so many plugins to make the editor behave exactly as you want.

I really like kitty. It is fast and simple but gives me all the features I would want.

Why does it say "Texas" on it 6 times?

Sufficiency is just as important as efficiency, if not more so.

The hexagon minecraft one is neat.

That commonwealth is called the EU today and, along with NATO, is the reason why these countries are in a comparitively safer position. It would be much riskier for Russia to invade there.

I use Colemak where most punctuation is at the same place as in the US English layout, which programming languages seem to be optimized toward. For the layout I prefer ISO for the larger Enter key.

My experience is you should try to always use find over ls when writing robust scripts, and consider ls as just an end user tool, not a scripting tool.

I have also switched to Colemak and my advice is to just not do that. Just learn Colemak without looking at the keyboard, it'll make you a better typist anyway and you can get comfortable with it within a few weeks. In particular you don't want to move the little knobs on the index finger keys (F and J).

Sure did.

OpenSuse Slowroll does pretty much that, a slightly delayed rolling release.

It took roughly 10-15 minutes on a Ryzen 5800X with 32GB RAM. I have compiled other programs before, but none nearly as large and notable as the kernel. I am in fact very close to getting a computer science degree, but that is in no way required to be able to do this. If you are able to follow the wiki-page I linked, you can do it too.

Yes, that was my experience as well. And of course there is the added tension that if you mess up somehow your system might become unbootable.

Cat by C418 is literally the only piece in the list I recognize.

The Talos Principle must be mentioned here. It was the first major game to provide Vulkan support, running just incredibly well.

And of course, Minecraft.

In arch/x86/Kconfig of the kernel tree it says for CMDLINE:

	  Enter arguments here that should be compiled into the kernel
	  image and used at boot time.  If the boot loader provides a
	  command line at boot time, it is appended to this string to
	  form the full kernel command line, when the system boots.

	  However, you can use the CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE option to
	  change this behavior.

	  In most cases, the command line (whether built-in or provided
	  by the boot loader) should specify the device for the root
	  file system.

and for CMDLINE_OVERRIDE:

	  Set this option to 'Y' to have the kernel ignore the boot loader
	  command line, and use ONLY the built-in command line.

	  This is used to work around broken boot loaders.  This should
	  be set to 'N' under normal conditions.

So both commandlines will probably be used. I don't think an initramfs will normally interfere with the kernel commandline. In any case you can make sure you got what you wanted with cat /proc/cmdline.

Do you have a link to that email?

Where are these circles coming from!?

I still don't see how having a flat subvolume layout would make that more problematic. You can still (even better in my opinion) choose what subvolumes to automatically snapshot, which to include in backups etc.
