I get a summary once a week of all the updates. I then check the release notes and if nothing needs any changes just run the ansible playbook that updates to those releases. I don’t want to get up and first thing in the morning read alert emails because an update failed over night, so i sit down for 10 minutes once a week.

Bash, not because its my favourite but because it’s nearly ubiquitous. I don’t want to have to think about which shell I’m using.

Went with lineage since I grew up on cyanogenmod.

Contabo is really cheap and has a few datacenters around the world. That low price comes at a cost though, their uptime is not as good as that of other providers. Expect about 3 outages a year, lasting about half an hour, maybe a day in extreme cases.

I’m not sure why they specifically say laptop, and then don’t mention what’s different to a desktop PC.

Then you click on the linked NVIDIA article and the first comment says, that it also happens on their desktop.

Didn’t really hop much, started with Windows, went on to OSX, got annoyed at it and ran Arch in a VM until I was comfortable with it, then went bare-metal with it.

Happy Arch user for some years now, though recently I’m using Fedora for work and I really like it. It’s not a good fit for some machines I’m running which need a lot of customisations to run properly.

I would really like to know how this graph was generated, because some expenditure per capita values have three different corresponding life expectancy values. Just look at Spain for example.

It was built in the early 12th century.

Always, if nothing else it makes “wiping” them securely easier.

I just switch providers, it’s easier to get a good deal than by staying and nagging customer support. Though I currently pay €10,- with my current provider because I also have fibre with them, so I’ll probably stay with them for the foreseeable future.

I switched ever couple of years.

I’ve seen so many bots on lemmy summarising the contents of websites and blocked all of them, because of this. They are not reliable, and I still caught myself reading those. I don’t even want to know how many summaries which are in a post body are just generated by an LLM.

WMF, Fissler, Zwilling, etc. all make top of the line, buy it for life products. With offerings for really everything I ever wanted.

If someone comes to me I’m more than happy to answer questions and help, but I won’t bring it up. People don’t like being told that their tool of choice is “bad” “not optimal” or anything like that. Even if it’s only their choice because they grew up with it or don’t want to learn anything new. And they still need to learn if it’s more than browsing the web.

Also I really don’t want to be the one they come running to once something doesn’t work the way they expected - or not at all. I don’t have the time nor the inclination to be tech support for my family and half of my friends.

Better check, you definitely already have a firewall running since docker needs it for NAT. A fresh debian has, as far as I know nftables and iptables-nft installed.

What firewall are you using? Docker doesn’t like non-iptables firewalls and it has been more than once that I changed my nftables config and really the whole networking stack to figure that out. I have a ubuntu server vm which had some iptables save-restore unit activated which was messing with my rules, that was fun to debug.

You could install qemu-user and register it in binfmt in the vm, that lets you run programs for other architectures.

Nouveau is stable and runs, but don’t expect the best performance. The official NVIDIA driver is unstable, lacks proper wayland support but has decent performance. I’d go with anything but a NVIDIA GPU.

I couldn’t even work if I had aliases in my muscle memory. Imagine ssh’ing to a server and every second command you issue doesn’t exist because it’s some weird alias you set up for yourself.

I’ll stick with the “pure” command and use tab completion.

That’s also part of the reason why I don’t use some of the fancy new tools like ripgrep and exa.
