I'm an ex-smoker, but I'm able to have a couple every month or two without going back full blown. One thing I have noticed is how smoking spikes your heart rate. I can look at my Fitbit data and see exactly where I smoked.

I'd heard about weight gain from quitting, which I have experienced, but I always thought it was attributed to increased appetite and not linked to cardiac activity. The stress on your heart is not just cumulative, it is acutely affective every time you light up.

It's the first thing I think of when I see that creepy shriveled windbag.

Package metadata isn't stored in text files because there's an amazing technology called the database.

All you have to do is learn how to use your package manager. Spend time reading the man pages and learn the options, and you can query everything you need.

Well, updating can cause problems whenever you do it.

Technically, you should check the news feed for breaking changes whenever you update your system. Usually, the worst that happens is pacman just barfs. Then you can figure out why and apply any fixes.

Upgrading an Arch install months or even years out of date is not that big of a deal. That's one of the benefits of a rolling release platform.

Once after a move, an old desktop sat in a box for at least two years and I had it updated in a hour or so. Yes, you have to review the archlinux.org news feed for breaking changes, but if you follow any steps that pertain to your packages it'll work fine.

Who said this movie is bad? That's the hill on which there is dying.

It was a commercial flop until it started airing on cable, though. Weird, I know. I remember seeing in the theater and all of my friends.

Interesting little video essay about it: https://youtu.be/QjlHwoqy_90

Neverball.

So gaming on Linux is obviously amazing now, but back in 2006 or so when I started using it, it was less than great. I probably tried every single game in the Ubuntu repos and Neverball entertained the hell out of me.

I spent hours rolling this shiny ball around. I loved Marble Madness on NES as a kid, so it was a natural fit.

A close second was Freeciv, as I had also grown up with a copy of Civilization.

Honorable mentions to Nesticle and Snes9x.

just do the same for:

  • Hospitals
  • Universities
  • Utilities
  • Waste management
  • Infrastructure

And in a couple of decades, you can undo everything your parents worked for, pull the ladder up behind you, and leave your children a dystopian hellscape!

Sure! My point is that hosting doesn't really matter, though. Malware and vulnerabilities are introduced at all points of supply chains.

From a show my band played last November.

If you have or know a band looking for a show in our area (Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati) hit us up.

 

German weirdo metal... maybe occult metal? I don't care, it rules. Raw and very much doing their own thing, which is rare and exciting. They released a new album in December, but this is the earliest one on Bandcamp.

 

I'm admittedly yelling at cloud a bit here, but I like package managers just fine. I don't want to have to have a plurality of software management tools. However, I also don't want to be caught off guard in the future if applications I rely on begin releasing exclusively with flatpak.

I don't develop distributed applications, but Im not understanding how it simplifies dependency management. Isn't it just shifting the work into the app bundle? Stuff still has to be updated or replaced all the time, right?

Don't maintainers have to release new bundles if they contain dependencies with vulnerabilities?

Is it because developers are often using dependencies that are ahead of release versions?

Also, how is it so much better than images for your applications on Docker Hub?

Never say never, I guess, but nothing about flatpak really appeals to my instincts. I really just want to know if it's something I should adopt, or if I can continue to blissfully ignore.

 

That's fuckin it. I'm done with everything
