I guess it is different reasons for different people. But for me, I started using ubuntu in 2005. When I was learning linux, it was just not complete enough. You install another DE/WM, to try it out, and stuff started to break. So I switched pretty quickly. I tried to return every now and then, because it had an environment of newer packages which I waned/needed. But it was never worth it, this or that always broke when you tried to do something peculiar. I use ubuntu every now and then, but it is mostly no good. The issue is really just snap. Snap firefox on rpi, which is the default, is just trash and unusable. It is crazy that they made it the default. I have also had servers where snap-services just eats too much cpu and first thing I have to do is to purge it. So, in summary, I don’t really trust them to provide a reliable system, and I am sceptical of their direction.

That screenshot is from another site. An account named longpanda has also appeared on lemmy and had their post/replies removed because of impersonation suspicions.

I think it is wise to take extra care on this issue on what you read and trust.

Not sure what Disk Manager is, but if it says

USB Mass Storage device detected

It appears to be something. If you do a sudo journalctl -f before you plug it in, does it tell you what device name it is given? If it is sata-to-usb you are using it is probably /dev/sd[a-z] or so, does anyone show up when you plug it in?

The arch wiki is a good substitute, but the gentoo wiki when it was still around and at its peak was amazing.

But I agree… Gentoo is not quite keeping up with a lot of details. Like experimenting with refind, dracut, efistubs, I felt I was in the dark a lot of the time. I ended up making very few mistakes, because the distro is very good at working for special cases even if all the details are not explained. Still my favourite distro.

I recently got some Toshibas and they were loud. They also presented with a seek error pre-fail after a few days (all three of them). That propably adds to the volume, but the seagate and wds I switched to just have some clicking noises. Not too bad.

When you really have to look deep into god’s mind you just have to put templeOS on a supercomputer.

Thank you! I wanted to make the link to appropriate section and I usually click the section in the toc to get it. But I could not find the toc on the mobile site.

I mean… That is not really what was puzzling about mercury. Its elliptical orbit, as predicted by Newtonian physics, was shifting a little each orbit. It was not a trick of the light bending, it actually moves “wrong” according to newtonian physics. He could have just read wikipedia instead of making stuff up to try and sound smart. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity

Oh, it is part of the Tor project even. Cool. Thanks. I will read the links.

How does this work? I thought WebRTC is UDP and Tor is over TCP. I don’t really know what I’m talking about here, but I’d like to know some details.

Yeah, there was always one broken on these fuckers

Is she the model for the Chumbawamba Anarchy-album cover?

Damn. They are automating penis inspection day? What are creeps to do now?

Wait, this is just a post here on lemmy, not a reply in the issue thread? Or am I just not finding it? You should probably have this discussion in the github issue too.

“Some” appears to be 3. How many are left?

At least for sweden they appear to have shipping options with taxes/duty included. I don’t have in front of me right now, but it was something like 200€ all inclusive shipping on a 500€ order. Something like that.

For sudo there is a compile option which taunts you if you enter the wrong password. At least in gentoo that flag is called ‘offensive’. I just imagined another feature to the flag where a guard will show up as well.

When you compile sudo with the offensive flag.

Stationary for usual operations, at least. There is usually a mechanism to open it up so you can mend them if necessary.
