All that happens at boot is that linux.exe calls systemd.exe, uses all your system resources making your machine unusable bloat.

It's almost as if people think systemd is one massive executable rather than a suite of tools

I can't tell how strong that magnet is, but I wouldn't risk it with my data.

That is unbelievable.

Charging them 20x a week sounds ridiculous.

I want per device firewall and DNS rules for myself, the wife and the kids. With opnsense or pfsense I don't believe this is possible with SLAAC, which is what android only supports.

Shove all devices on a flat network with no special firewall rules and you are probably golden. But trying to control your own network, last few times I've tried, is impossible.

They refuse to support DHCP6 and will only use SLAAC on Android devices.

Ipv6 is broken for those that want control over their home networks thanks to Google and terribly written RFCs.

All that was needed was an extra byte or two of address space, but no, some high and mighty evangelicals in their ivory towers built something that few people understand 30 years later. Their die hard fans are sure that this will be the year of ipv6. The Year of Linux on the Desktop will come 10 years before the year of ipv6.

A way of keeping people employed usefully in many highly skilled jobs so you don't need to give them social security payouts for being jobless. In this way it is a truly excellent idea.

It's a nice photo. Maybe just needs a small crop. Remove the house from the top and some dead space on the left.

I love Nirvana. I think a good case can be made that Nirvana were the only grunge band and that the others like you mentioned were grunge only in that they shared a fashion. They aren't really the same genre of music, just look. IMHO.

 

There's 3 things that really stand out for me that I would say made a massive difference to my life:

  1. Cordless screw driver. Bought the day after building a flat pack bed with a crappy screw.driver that just shredded my hand. Thought it was frivolous at the time, but I've used it so much since. It's light, small enough to fit in my pocket and good for 90% of DIY tasks.

  2. Tassimo coffee machine. Bought it 9 years ago, use it every day. Nice quick easy coffee. What's not to like.

  3. My first DSLR camera. It was a Nikon D50 back in 2005/6 and it sparked my interest in photography to this day. It gave me a hobby I can take lots of places and do it alone or with others. I never loved the D50 camera itself, but I did get some really nice shots with it

 

Seems like a shame to throw away and must have a use.

 

I thought I'd never see the day.

For King Tovalds and Country of FOSS OS's

 

Wear Arch, but I run EndeavourOS. If EndeavourOS launched a line of shoes I'd probably wear them.

 

This was a very nerve racking experience as I'd never gone through a major version Proxmox update before and I had spent a lot of time getting everything just so with lots of config around disk and VLANs. The instructions were also a big long page, which never fills me with confidence as it normally means there's a lot of holes to fall in to.

My initial issue was that it says to perform the upgrade with no VM's running, but it requires an internet connection and my router is Opnsense in a VM. Thankfully apt dist-upgrade --download-only, shutdown the Opnsense VM and then apt dist-upgrade did the trick.

A few config files changed and I always hate this part of Debian upgrades, but nothing major or of importance was impacted.

A nervous reboot and everything was back up running the new Proxmox with the new kernel. Surprisingly smooth overall and the most time consuming part by far was backing up my VM's just in case. The upgrade itself including reboot was probably 15 mins, the backups and making sure I was prepared and mentally ready was about an hour.

Compared to upgrading ESXi on old hardware like I was doing last year, it was a breeze.

Highly recommended, would upgrade again.

 

I set up friendica as my first foray on to the fediverse. It worked well, but as it turns out doesn't work that well with Lemmy, which was my main usecase. Well whilst trying to fix DNS issues setting up a Lemmy instance instead, I noticed my DNS logs were rather full. My Unbound DNS was getting 40k requests every 10 mins to *.activitypub-troll.cf. I don't know who or what that is, but blocking it didn't reduce the activity. At first I thought it was something to do with Lemmy as I'd forgotten I still had Friendica running. Thankfully stopping the Friendica service reduced the DNS request back to normal.

So if you've set something up recently, you might want to check if there have been any consequences in your service logs
