They also forced the touch-like interface onto computers that didn’t have a touch screen.

Why are these QFP chips through-hole? Looks like the bastard child of QFP and DIP.

Hey, I saw the stellar review of your keyboard, is it possible to buy somewhere?

Hmm you need to download some more RAM

That’s why we use Linux, free software and no cracks

Did something similar recently. Turns out rsync by default, if it encounters a symlink to a directory and it’s instructed to copy a directory with the same name, will remove the symlink and create an empty directory.

So I had a script that installs crosscompiled kernel modules via rsync /path/to/nfs/path /

This worked perfectly until Debian 12, like other distros, decided to merge /usr, so now /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin. First time I run the script after upgrade /bin gets replaced and then no programs can be started as all binaries look for /bin/ld-linux.

I managed to fix it by booting into busybox and recreating the symlink, but it took a while until I figured out what was wrong, wasn’t familiar with usrmerge.

There’s another aspect than size that I feel people overlook: security updates. When e.g. libcurl is duplicated in a million places, how do you update them all when a critical security issue is discovered in it? Who will update all the random flatpaks, snaps and docker images that happen to include it?

Agree with you fully on the shortcut front, and it’s very confusing that ctrl is separate from the command key. The whole keyboard layout is also a nightmare, but this is probably because I’m in Sweden, where the Swedish mac keyboard layout is radically different from the normal Swedish keyboard layout that all other computers use. When I help out someone with programming on a mac, I always end up telling them “please press pipe” or tilde, braces, backslash, or even at-sign, as these are not printed on the keys. They are accessible through the option key, but you’ll have to test all combinations to find which one is where and memorize this.

No, because it’s UB, the compiler is free to do whatever, like making demons fly out of your nose

I looked up the backgammon start position, since then all Google wants to sell me is backgammon boards.

I don’t really tweak much. I use the Debian default of 50 percent RAM used. For the NAS’s I tell it to use lz4 as they’re pretty weak cpu-wise.

I’m running ZRAM on my old Netgear ReadyNAS’s, which has 512MB or 256MB RAM. It enables them to do a lot more than they otherwise would be able to, running a modern linux distribution.

I’ve been so satisfied with it that I even started running it on my modern desktop with 32GB RAM, it helps with my tab addiction :)

If you run testing or unstable there will be updates available very very often. But, you choose when to update, you don’t need to update anytime an update is available.

You should know what you’re doing and expect this if you’re running it. Otherwise, you should use stable. With stable, you’ll typically just have security updates until you choose to update to the next stable, which typically is released every other year.

You have nethack messages activated?
