He didn’t. He wanted freax or something dumb. Someone talked him into Linux.

I switched the the snap package and it’s been rock solid and pain free the entire time.

I welcome any and all comments on why snap is Satan.

Bots in the build up to the election here in the states?

You know what makes my Linux distribution perfect? My windows partition that I can switch to quickly.

This might help:

And green. All associated with the more popular variants pfsense, opnsense, truenas, and freebsd.

Data truly is beautiful

I can’t tell if ops joke is “intentionally confusing buffers with registers” and everyone is playing along or if people aren’t making the distinction between the two in this thread.

Which is ironic and humorous…potentially by accident.

I use vimwiki and wrote a bash script that pulls all of the Todo items from across my wiki and puts them in a single file with TODO and IN PROGRESS sections.

I have a keybind that pulls up the list and runs the script to refresh it.

It’s not linked to any calendar though. I keep my to-do list and calendar separate.

I use Gmail and have that calendar for my personal stuff. At work I am forced to use outlook.

Unless it’s the newest of new Nvidia GTX cards, it’s generally a wash.

You tradeoff issues from one to the other.

I had a 3070ti that I “upgraded” to a 6900xt and I kind of regretted it. I fell for the AMD is king on Linux hype.

Nvidia is way better than people let on and AMD isn’t nearly as great as people let on.

That’s my two cents.

That’s why my windows partition is still in regular use. I play apex legends. It used to play flawlessly on pop is but over a year ago at this point it started screwing up.

I’d usually be able to get it working after a while, but when I have 30-45 minutes or maybe an hour at most to game, I don’t want to spend all of it “fixing”. I’d rather restart into windows and be playing in a minute.

Probably have a porn and PC game filter to thank for my career in IT

Wait so people got butthurt that a company made a deal with nix. That company also does business with ICE. And people are mad at Nix?

What am I missing?

Also companies and open source entities do business with all manner of government(s) all the time.

“rocinante” for my proxmox host.

“awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.” From don Quixote’s wiki page.

It seemed fitting considering it is a server built from old PC parts…engaged in tasks beyond its abilities.

The rest of my servers (VMs moslty) are named for what they actually do/which vlan they are on (eg vm15) and aren’t fun or excitin names. But at least I know if I am on that VM it has access to that vlan(or that it’s segregated from my other networks).

This is such horseshit. The drama of the Linux community never ceases to amaze me.

Zero trust has entered the chat

Interesting.

A quick and dirty way to do it on each boot is to run a script on a Cron job or set up a system d service that only loads it after 5 minutes.

sleep 300
modprobe btusb

That’s not an ideal solution by any stretch but it might bridge the gap for now…

Having wifi and Bluetooth issues sucks!

I don’t know why it’s not loading automatically. Maybe something is blacklisting that driver? You could dmesg | grep Bluetooth and see what it might show.

Starting it at boot should be easy though.

create a new configuration file in /etc/modules-load.d/. This directory is specifically for loading kernel modules during the boot process. You can name the file something descriptive, like btusb.conf or whyisfuckingbluetoothstillaproblemin2024.conf

Inside the file, add the name of the module you wish to load automatically. In your case, you only need to write btusb on a new line. Save and reboot and it should be loaded.

You can check with: lsmod | grep btusb

Why not both?

Let’s say MS charges $5M a year.

Their support contract, assuming they get one, for libre office might be $1M.

They could still invest another $1M in OSS and still save $3M

A $1M net gain for OSS and a $3M savings for the govt.

I think he was trying to say apps get access to “root features” through an abstraction layer/API calls that is controlled.

They don’t/wouldn’t have carte blanche root access to the underlying system. It’s kinda like a docker container or VM or flatpaks/snap packages on Linux. They are sandboxed from everything else and have to be given explicit premission to do certain things(anything that would need root privileges/hardware access).

Assume yes until you can prove otherwise.
