Stable is for servers, unstable for desktop. It has worked for 20 years. I actually installed two further Debian workstations recently after trying and failing with Kubuntu. So … no, I don’t have this problem.

No idea why busybox is needed. Is this is your emergency boot environment like initramfs? Sometimes it’s nice that Linux boots up and offers an environment to fix stuff while some modules are broken.

Maybe finding the (n!)²th prime?

I recently removed my 25Gbps PCIe dual port cards from my 2 servers because they were using 20W more. My entire rack including 2 UniFi PoE connections uses 90 W now (so 110 W just for having 25 Gpbs).

There is some heat from such cards, but usually it gets transported outside fine. The ones I bought did not come with a fan. I think you cannot operate them without one. The heat sinks get very hot.

Not quite. You need to try 3 different howtos that fail. You need to realize that the broken dependecies won’t get fixed even it’s about the current time64_t effort that is going on. It’s because the howto is simply crap. Then you find one that you haven’t tried, yet.

Then it’s easy: add the official steam apt repository, get the signing key and apt-install steam package with some few dependencies.

Ahem… thanks to me.

I recently made Steam run on my Debian PC.

Win10 has one more year and I need to make preparations. Now I’m ready to ditch it to have more space for games.

It’s so easy to work around an audit. Companies lie. Auditors are being bribed. Everything is based on trust.

(Oops… wrong thread, I’ll leave it here)

I’ve been using FreeBSD for 20 years on my desktop. I’ve been also mainly using it because I was literally afraid of using Linux filesystems for data storage, when I learned how ZFS works.

Now with bcachefs the situation is different. It’s nice to see an advanced filesystem on Linux, even it’s still beta. I migrated my desktop to Linux, but will keep FreeBSD on my servers for a while, because it’s less hassle for me.

Actually I stopped liking the FreeBSD community. They made a lot of drama in the past years and I stopped being active there. I haven’t reported bugs anymore and fixed them privately or reported directly to upstream. I have many nice things running on servers, but I’m thinking about moving to Debian entirely.

I recently replaced MacOS with Linux on a MacBook. And next year my last installation of Windows is going to be deleted. I absolutely hate this ad-infested crap they want to distribute.

Every single free operating system made sure in the 90s that not a single line from commercial OSes like Unix persists in the kernel and userland. The idea is Unix, but not the code.

You don’t want it until something fails. SystemD often doesn’t let you log in to fix it. It just shows a “infinitely bouncing asterisk” and hopes it will magically get better.

I had numerous situations where systemd didn’t let me abort a hanging service startup during boot or stop during shutdown.

So what do I do now, systemd? Wait till infinity??

That never happened while using other init systems. Because they simply fail properly (“sorry I did my best to stop this, I needed a SIGKILL finally”). Or simply let me log in: “sorry, some services failed to start and now it’s a huge mess, but at least you can log in and fix it.”.

You forgot: use as many dependencies as you need. For example, my init system does not use xz-utils.

The article is about positive discrimination. The so-called critics fear that there is room for additional fees for for enhanced services, even the FCC clearly says that services should not be degraded and treated equally.

When FCC says that they never banned all prioritisation every “critic” is in state of alert. They ignore the fact that internet needs kinds of regulations to work properly on technical level and conflate the statement with the one above. FCC probably allows technical measures to regulate important cases of traffic shaping and even blocking when it’s harmful for the service overall. This implies the fact that net neutrality can be guaranteed with these regulations.

Maybe they mean low latency internet connections. This might need some better hardware installations on the side of the provider. This is probably not about net neutrality.

No. This was Munich with its Limux project.

This part of Germany has supported open source software for a long time now. So this didn’t come unexpected or without a decade long preparation.

The most important part is not the product here. Unfortunately, the people who work with the software decide. It’s also a huge effort to educate all the people to use LibreOffice.

The nice thing is that MS Office moves entirely to the cloud and SaaS. Schleswig Holstein are the only one who will be prepared for the worst soon.

Passkeys are an open standard. You need to install a Webauthn-compliant supplicant that talks to the browser. The supplicant can be anything, as long as it does the required protocol. The browser doesn’t care.

At the moment the browsers are the main problem. They need to open their APIs properly.

To keep the system simple and transparent.

Did you use iperf? It makes sure that HDD/SSD is not the bottleneck.

You can also check the statistics and watch for uncommon errors. Or trace the connection with tcpdump.

Yep. Unreal Tournament was also great and Neverwinter Nights.
