A ppa is a repo. It’s Ubuntu stuff, and there’s no reason to work your ass off for Ubuntu for free. They’ll just shit on you and claim that snaps are great (they’re not)

The fact that no product is missing anywhere means it’s not stealing.

If you rent your car from Mercedes and I make a copy of it, the only change is that I’ve not copied your car, I’ve copied Mercedes’.

nah - they are very real. Maybe sock puppets but real. I imagine them like rich 15 year old kids beeing “rad and cool”

TLDR; don’t reserve IP’s

We all did back in the 90’s. But this is kinda counter to the idea of dynamic leasing of IP addresses.
The only reason I see for reserving IP’s would be to do some based on cidr ranges (bad practice) or because you need some shitty software that only handle IP’s and not hostnames.

Just liberate yourself and get used to not having control over IP. It will prepare you for ipv6 where dynamic addresses are part of the spec.

Your local dns server should be set up to register devices on ip lease - something all dns servers I’ve worked with last 20 years can manage. With properly set ip search domains this means that you can reach your devices by hostname, or by fqdn if you’d want that.

Also note that .local is a special tld reserved for mdns/zeroconf. Do not set up your dns server to serve this. You’d be better off using something like .LAN - this means that mdns/zeroconf can co-exist nicely on your lan.

Regarding vlans: this is something completely different as this is level 2 in osi. Each vlan is like a separate network - there needs to be routing to reach one from the other. I would agree that vlans are nice when used properly - to section and separate devices. One vlan for IoT devices - to keep them out of your safe home network - is a fairly common thing. A separate vlan for servers, one for management perhaps, one for guest-network and one for your normal home devices.

I use 4 vlans at home each with a /16 network from the 10/8 range. And the only static (not reserved dhcp) that I use are for dns and gateway. At work I still set up some sites where infrastructure like switches/routers etc are on static - and take this into account when I set up the ip pool(s). I’m those cases I’ll exclude the top end of the network and put the rest in the pool. Some like to do the opposite end, and some don’t care and just use all as pool and count on arp/ping to avoid conflicting leases (bad practice).

There’s 0 need for Linux to grow. It powers 80% of new web-apps, runs the big gaming systems, parts of azure and aws. It’s the go-to server os for most use-cases.

The Linux desktop needs to mature if it’s to grow. Non-tech users don’t care for “new and innovative ux paradigms”. They don’t wanna scan the internet to figure out why sound is missing after upgrading to pop_os 4. That or they need someone close by to fix it for free

how about ddosn’t? Please?

Go Spain!

You’d have to attract users with useful knowledge. The site is filled with posts being only a link and 0 comments. The domain will be pushed down just by the low total score it will get. It took Reddit perhaps 10 years to get to the top of ranks, and that was with great content

You can put as much makeup as you want on a pig, it’s still a pig. Force people to move, and bombing civilians? Donning a Jew star in the UN? The whole country of Israel is a disgrace

It’s a common insult in many languages - with a lot of theories about origins. You can track medival usage of this all over Europe, but I have no knowledge about other continents.

Insults in general hold more power in honor-cultures. Your grandparents might have reacted the same way she did, while you might not feel the same.

While you will get somewhat the same from apt, I like the Debian way of providing base config support in packages and have local config loaded by include statements.

As you don’t edit the default config and automatic updates can happen w/o user input and your config will stay safe

This is why some software succeeds and others don’t. Middle mouse click or using two hands is not accessibility. Having an option to toggle this behaviour is

I’m quite sure it won’t be long until some bad practice spreads like this. Giving clueless “Linux pros” top advice on how to enable a back door.

LLMs can be poisoned and as datasets increase and complexity grows it will be harder to contain.

Cgpt works great for some stuff, but all you know is that someone somewhere wrote something similar. They are no better than Google in predicting what is good material and what’s wrong, and training is statistics.

You’d have to wait a while for Debian to reach version 24

I like Debian - it’s foss and stable

This and support. My dad could set up a pi, and he doesn’t know what a kernel is or how to compile.

It sounds kinda illegal. Can Coca-cola stop me from going to Denmark to buy for danish prices and claim I have to pay Norwegian prices?

It’s directly comparable to buying danish subscription and using the service from a danish exit. If my data originates in china and are vpn-ed to Denmark they have the same cost on providing me service as anyone else in Denmark

Edit: I’ve never been to China, but it’s like really far away from Denmark.

I was there too but vga was not. My dad got an IBM XT fully specd as a home computer (he was CFO of Emma EDB). I believe the hires could be EGA or probably Hercules as they don’t brag about colours - but his had CGA. The full spec of my dads pc - that changed my life - was: 2x256kb ram on full length isa cards. 10mb hdd, 360kb floppy. 9pin printer and cga. Total cost back then in Norwegian KR was 120000.

A controversial suggestion, but you could read up and maybe take a few courses. While I love UX/interaction design you might want to start with UI design and design patterns. Once you get a basic UI and know when to implement different patterns you can move on and work on the UX.

I would suggest the same here, some learning is needed. There’s a reason you hire UX designers and not just more programmers.

Any soup is good imo. Like Cauliflower soup with bacon and garlic bread. Meat/vegetable soup.

As a last resort drinking broth can work.

It’s about getting energy into your body so you can heal

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/OEMKernel

Unless you know that you need/want features/fixes not (yet) part of the OEM kernel you should stay with that.

You can go with generic, build your own, or even go for the mainline kernel. But you might find some hardware not supported.

I’ve never touched one but 4 words into Google gave me the answer. The magic words I used was: intel compute stick headless

I do teach Google-fu and this first lesson was free.

Edit: was supposed to be answer to the other poster, not OP.

Anyways good luck on the compute stick OP, it can be almost what you want! It’s a pc with WiFi.

Yes!

You guys have too many words. I Norway we have about 90 odd words that we use for everything. Much simple

How would these recommendations be generated. Will you host for loads of people or just sit there with your single datapoint?

It is impossible that unattended-upgrades reboots without the Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot flag set. Source: the function def reboot_if_requested_and_needed(): on line 1688 in the script.

Probably your config was wrong

What’s wrong with just removing snap? When ever I am forced to install Ubuntu I will remove snap and the “advantage-tools” (the part trying to sell you support)

First I’ll snap remove —purge all snap packages Then apt purge —auotoremove snapd ubuntu-advantage-tools

She’s had poor training I guess. SEBKAC! Security exists between keyboard and chair

Lol

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

If that doesn’t help boot with a live-cd or rescue, and check that your grub config points to a valid kernel.

Your hdd might be the culprit but it’s very hard to say from that screen. Maybe the one previously that can show your boot command

FreeBSD seems to thrive on a mit like license - why can’t Linux do the same?

I’m not talking about payment, I’m talking about if it’s stealing or not. It might be copyright infringement depending on local law, but it’s not stealing. Selling a copy might be counterfeiting.

Nah - it’s pretty shit already. I wasn’t on Reddit at the absolute beginning but I did clock in 12+ years. This is more like the end of Reddit - only split into several servers.

It can be done with guns or it can be done without. Can is the magic word here, and guns are optional.

Ppa’s are Ubuntu.. Debian is not Ubuntu even if Ubuntu is Debian

A central place where everything happens. Or just the illusion of that.
Lemmy does not feel the same between instances/servers, and that makes everything seem smaller.
The only reason there was a small spike in lemmy users was because the competition entered phase 3 of their enshittening. Just like Mastadon lives off twitter going downhill. It’s not that the product is great, it’s just that it mimics a successful service and that service is going to shit.

So it’s not about snap, it’s about canonical- and they are why I’m no longer an Ubuntu user. Debian > any downstream distro

some plants like raspberry can propagate through roots. Others like strawberries have stolons. And theres plants like blackcurrant where branches can root when they hit the ground.

But mostly its done by humans through cuttings.

Oh no! What are the settlers gonna do now???

Why the /s? It’s totally inline with British politics. It’s brilliant for someone for sure

Also it’s the name of a Norse skald from ancient times. We do believe it means something like “the fast” originally, but in his case the s was silent. When he was put to sleep he has diabetes and kidney failure. His weight was about 8kg. snorre the magnificent
