I know it's not new, but I've been seeing a lot more "suggested" (read: sponsored) places along my routes these days. Either businesses are just now discovering the feature, or they lowered the barrier for entry. Either way, it's annoying as fuck to have ads pop up that I have to avoid when moving the map around to navigate
When I think of exquisite sound design, two of my favorite movies spring to mind: Stalker (1979) and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
The former has such a subtle soundtrack that it's almost like it's not there, but without it so much of the atmosphere of a movie that is heavily atmospheric would be lost.
The latter is just a perfect western with a perfect western soundtrack. The theme is well known, but L'estasi Dell'oro gives me chills every time it starts playing.
real. Geinoh Yamashirogumi elevated that movie beyond "weird mindfuck anime" to an immersive experience.
On the same note, Ghost in the Shell's soundtrack is also a masterwork, though it doesn't have a single stand out track like Kaneda's Theme
Debian Testing has a lot more current packages, and is generally fairly stable. Debian Unstable is rolling release, and mostly a misnomer (but it is subject to massive changes at a moment's notice).
Fedora is like Debian Testing: a good middleground between current and stable.
I hear lots of good things about Nix, but I still haven't tried it. It seems to be the perfect blend of non-breaking and most up-to-date.
I'll just add to: don't believe everything you hear. Distrowars result in rhetoric that's way blown out of proportion. Arch isn't breaking down more often than a cybertruck, and Debian isn't so old that it yearns for the performance of Windows Vista.
Arch breaks, so does anything that tries to push updates at the drop of a hat; it's unlikely to brick your pc, and you'll just need to reconfigure some settings.
Debian is stable as its primary goal, this means the numbers don't look as big on paper; for that you should be playing cookie clicker, instead of micromanaging the worlds' most powerful web browser.
Try things out for yourself and see what fits, anyone who says otherwise is just trying to program you into joining their culture war
I'll have to give starship a try, seems like a cool way to handle customizing the prompt
as to the "omz is bloat and slows down your shell":
- How slow? Because I've never noticed. Are we talking about waiting for 15 seconds when I should only have to wait for 1, or are we talking theory and the difference between 0.5 vs 0.08 seconds in benchmarks?
Because I've never been inconvenienced by the speed of my shell nor terminal emulator, despite having tried all kinds of setups. Turns out that "blazing fast" gpu accelerated terminal really didn't make much of a difference on human timescales. Now I'm at the point where I appreciate the features over the performance.
- In reply to Brody's point, I'm inclined to say "yes, and...?"
OMZ automates a lot. Sure, I could follow his way of manulaly sourcing dozens of individual shellscripts and making my own aliases and have a zshrc 1200 lines long... Or I could just let omz handle it.
Yes it's mostly just a plugin manager, and...? Yes it automates a process I could do manually, and... ? Yes, it uses bindings that I didn't personally write, and... ?
Fuck off with the clickbait "You're living your life wrong, do this lifehack instead!!!!" (and the lifehack is to reinvent the wheel) bullshit
Here's a fun real lifehack: try things out for yourself, don't just listen to and parrot other people's opinions, don't be afraid to go against the grain. Way more fun and fulfilling that way!
Ctrl + D (EOF character) also does that, so I'm just confused what the 'A' is doing
It will cause a critical error during boot if the device isn't given the nofail mount option, which is not included in the defaults option, and then fails to mount. For more details, look in the fstab(5) man page, and for even more detail, the mount(8) man page.
Found that out for myself when not having my external harddrive enclosure turned on with a formatted drive in it caused the pc to boot into recovery mode (it was not the primary drive). I had just copy-pasted the options from my root partition, thinking I could take the shortcut instead of reading documentation.
There's probably other ways that a borked fstab can cause a fail to boot, but that's just the one I know of from experience.
To the feature creep: that's kind of the point. Why have a million little configs, when I could have one big one? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical. I get that there are use cases, but the average user doesn't like having to tweak every component of the OS separately before getting to doom-scrolling.
And that feature creep and large-scale adoption inevitably has led to a wider attack surface with more targets, so ofc there will be more CVEs, which—by the way—is a terrible metric of relative security.
You know what has 0 CVEs? DVWA.
You know what has more CVEs and a higher level of privilege than systemd? The linux kernel.
And don'tme get started on how bughunters can abuse CVEs for a quick buck. Seriously: these people's job is seeing how they can abuse systems to get unintended outcomes that benefit them, why would we expect CVEs to be special?
TL;DR: That point is akin to Trump's argument that COVID testing was bad because it led to more active cases (implied: being discovered).
Beyond The Black Rainbow - A psychedelic loveletter to the 80s, about a dying cult and its first and last victims.
Anything by David Lynch, but particularly Mullholland Drive and Twin Peaks.
Mullholland Drive is a dream logic trip through Los Angeles as a small town actress finds work and love and heartbreak and murder in the big city while the world becomes increasingly incomprehensible and nightmarishly surreal; it also includes one of the best acted, directed, shot and scored scenes in all of horror.
Twin Peaks is the story of a small town deep in the forests of Washington, struggling to solve the murder of a high schooler, an FBI agent arrives and proceeds to explore esoteric and supernatural causes; part drama, part cosmic horror.
