  • That's a crazy amount of clean-up, impressive. I find it's hard to delete even just 10% of my collection, and you did like 70%

  • i'm curious about the other functionalities because in almost every homelab discussion about tailscale there's somebody bringing up wireguard as a viable alternative

  • I got burned one time where a specific program I was using, broke on the latest release but I didn't actually test that program till months after the release. I had to just wait until it got fixed, which took another few months. Though tbh if I had saved a copy of the previous release I don't know if I would have gone through the trouble of reverting

  • I'm not that into Linux yet

  • same reasons as OP. I want my desktop OS to be simple, and I focus on my homelab

  • This might not be your issue, but I remember for me there's this button in the tray that appears after all updates are downloaded. You click it and there's an option to restart and update. If you just go to the main menu to restart, it doesn't always show this "restart and update" option, and just restarts without installing the updates. Though even if you make this mistake you shouldn't need to re-download the updates. Just go to KDE Discover and check for updates again, and the button will appear in the tray again. I think.

    Also maybe you'd like the Fedora atomic distros, like Bazzite or Aurora. Unlike installing the updates during reboot, they install them in a "disabled state" while the system is running. Then you reboot and it automatically boots to the new version, no need to wait for any installation. What's neat is that it's really hard to break. Even if you pull the power while it's installing updates, it will just use the previous version and try installing again. No risk of corruption.

  • tbh I should just delete the old ISOs I have as well, they're practically useless since the package repos don't even support them anymore

  • sometimes a program I use doesn't work on the latest version and I have to revert. Sometimes I realize this so late the older version isn't available online anymore. Has this happened often enough to warrant 100 GB of ISOs? Definitely not 😅

  • If all you care about is meeting commitments, the US doesn't have any more commitments so I guess they are doing fine?? The commitments for China were low because that was all they could get China to agree to. These commitments don't mean anything

  • You mentioned the US and Canada, not the EU? And nothing about emissions per GDP? Maybe stop lying?

    You clearly just think China is doing "good enough". Fine. And I think the US and EU are doing "good enough" too and the oil companies in OP are not a problem

  • Linux @programming.dev

    Datahoarders, how many Linux ISOs do you actually have?

  • This is a fair bit worse than the actual apology by the company. Doesn't address many of the issues as directly or concretely. I'm surprised, I would have expected modern AI to do better

  • No unfortunately it does not. Sometimes the webpage itself contains a meta tag with the original URL but not always

  • One of my devices is an offline device that I bring online every few months for updates (my VPN only gives me limited spots, so some devices take turns using the VPN). I guarantee you updates this infrequent would break most distros, including Arch. But since I use an atomic/immutable distro, it works every time.

    This is what's so great about atomic distros. Super reliable and hard to break. Just set and forget.

  • One of the reasons i like the new atomic/immutable distros is you can just power cycle with little worry of bricking your system, even if a system update is running.

  • Isn't this exactly what OP is saying though? Some people don't want to have to read docs to use their computer. When was the last time a MacOS user opened the MacOS docs (whatever the hell that is)

  • Old guy from the comic presses his ear to the door "Hey! I don't hear shittin! This guys just pissin in there!"

  • Same way people handle bathhouses in asian countries. You learn to stop caring so much about your naked body

  • I didn't know the meme and this genuinely educated me so thank you

  • I have tons of webpages saved using the Firefox built-in page saver, which saves and html file and a corresponding folder for the other resources (images, javascript). Would be cool if these could be imported as well. Though maybe the resource folder can be ignored and the html file can already be imported?

    What do you think is the CAPTCHA endgame?
