Oh so many fun adventures, too much to count... But a few nice ones:

  • HDD died, so ran a desktop system over network from a NAS (nfs) without HDD.. for months.
  • Rebuilding a corrupted system (any bit advanced tools wouldn't start anymore, like apt).
  • Custom bootable live cd based on Linux From Scratch (around 2002).
  • Anything related to Kerberos and NFS4.
  • Replacing syscalls to run software from a ramdrive that would otherwise not work.
  • Recently using debootstrap to install Kubuntu with a ZFS root, which went surprisingly smooth and pretty easy.

I love Linux for all these insane possibilities.

Although the display was grating, Trump fell for it hook, line and sinker. Having seen Rutte in his previous role as prime-minister before this was all an act just to butter him up.

Github. The / key is usually a shortcut in Firefox (and many other software) for search. But they hijacked it to their search-field that requires you to be logged in anyway. So you can only use ctrl+f on their site.

For websearch I've switched to Kagi and it does exactly what I need, nothing more, nothing less.

Hosting a Gitlab for work and for my private projects I agree. The CI/CD is excellent and I really like the way they handle issues and merge-requests. Gitlab is great but quite a beast, so throw some good CPU and fast storage at it.

I tried OVH last year as a CDN for out site and the interface and features were either horribly slow or severely lacking. I hope they can use this as an impulse to improve their services. At least the Azure interfaces are also dogslow so not much competition there. Scaleway was pretty good but their support was hopelessly bad and it was too bad they nixed their arm64 offerings.

Don't trust a word that idiot sais. Pete Hoekstra is a lying piece of shit.

Maybe buildroot is something you're looking for?

It's a sad state of affairs. I would pay for youtube in a heartbeat if it wasn't connected to the biggest spyware company in the world. But now, even while paying you still get ads and they still track you. The people working at Alphabet are bad and should feel bad.

Yeah, the action part is the least interesting, especially...

spoilerthe shootout at the end.

But I really like the soundtrack of the last scene and the credits after that.

Thats pretty cool. Movies with such wide distribution are often at least interesting.. Not per se good though.

Ha fair. Although trailers ruined movies for me so I have stopped watching them at all.

Maybe not really love love but quite enjoyed:

The whole movie is bad and offensive, just like the games it is based on. And that makes it a nice fun adventure. It does really help if you've played the games though. I would give it a 6/10.

 

This is the keynote reported on a while ago in a ZDNet article and discussed here on Lemmy.
