Ubuntu is fine. Drivers are annoying on all distros (nvidia updates for me mainly, I don’t update hardware often).

I have daily driven various distros and tested a lot since the 90s and I pay close attention to time spent on customizing and fixes, and ubuntu just isn’t worse than other distros. I make setup scripts and have custom dockerfiles for webtops.

I want to like nixos or whatever fork will prevail, but it’s more work than people want to admit. I personally don’t want to have to pay that much attention to my operating system. It’s why i ditched gentoo almost 20 years ago. I don’t want to lurk forums for fixes and tweaks. I also make sure hardware I buy doesn’t have glaring compatibility issues.

If Ubuntu rubs you the wrong way but you are fine with most of it, just use debian.

If your balcony could support the load you could grow quite densely with hydroponic towers, but you won’t ever recoup the costs. That method is also very little work beyond the initial compared to soil.

The article doesn’t say that. It says that most arent spending above 43% on housing. It doesn’t dig into that, likely on purpose.

LLM to generate ideas, history to check uniqueness

Other languages behind reverse proxies from apache httpd or nginx do not have the same memory hit. You can still blame php. Not my fault they tied their language to the webserver in a way that uses tons of extra memory.

Easy example. Have they fixed file upload behavior yet? Do they store the entire file in memory by default instead of chunking it and storing it as it comes in?

If not it’s like the worst memory usage of any language possible.

If you have to go change the php.ini to adjust file upload sizes, it’s not really moving forward and is decades behind other languages.

I read your name as stoned morman
