Well, let’s see…my work laptop experience (so far).

• Lenovo: Worked there for 14 years
• HP: Worked there for 6 months
• Apple: Worked there for 6 months
• HP: Worked there for 2.5 years
• Apple: Worked there for a year
• Dell: Worked there for 2.5 years–

Worse how? Jellyfin was forked from Emby, and since then has continued to improve in my eyes.

Didn’t something similar just happen with RustDesk? ChatGPT response from author in an hours old account.

Similar here. I used to have 2 screens that if they turned off for powersaving only 1 of them would wake up. So I had a script on the desktop to do a reset and move them correctly.

#!/bin/bash
xrandr --output HDMI2 --off
xrandr --output HDMI2 --auto --same-as HDMI1
xrandr --output HDMI1 --right-of HDMI2
exit

Wasn’t there some controversy about this that it wasn’t entirely open-source?

I had to upgrade some OL6 VMs to OL7 VMs running Oracle DBs and Apps (on OVMM no less). There was no appetite for buying additional storage, or restoring the environments with RMAN. Luckily, everything had been installed under /u01 which was on its own virtual disk.

So I built a new VM as OL7 (same hostname, etc.), installed the pre-req RPMs for Oracle DB, disconnected the virtual disk from the OL6 and attached it to the new OL7, synced users and home dirs - and it only bloody worked.

I don’t want to be a pain, but it’s not “basically Mint running on an M1 iMac.” it’s Asahi/Fedora running Cinnamon. Also, you’ve connected an external monitor for an M1 iMac? Do you mean it’s an M1 Macbook instead?

Feel you there. 4 hours here. All of them cloud instances whereby getting acces to the actual console isn’t as easy as it should be, and trying to hit F8 to get the menu to get into safe mode can take a very long time.

That’s…Awesome! Thank you!

Sandboxed typically restricts a program from being able to read/write to various areas (think an app isn’t allowed to use the network, or access USB devices, or it’s only allowed access to a certain directory in the filesystem).

Containerised is a way of virtualising an app/apps so that they can be easily distributed to run once or thousands. They can and are also sandboxed to different degrees.

Sandboxed rather than containerised I think.

I’ve used shfmt in the past: https://github.com/patrickvane/shfmt

“Got a sec?”

Sooo, I guess a couple of things.

What error do you get when you try to boot it not in rescue mode?

Was your /home directory a separate partition?

I don’t think networking neccesarily starts in rescue mode, so you getting a response that 127.0.0.1:8118 is unreachable probably makes sense (your tor proxy will rely on the network service afterall)

I’ve been ‘told off’ so many times by the internet for my cat and grep combos that I still do it, then I remove the cat, it still works, and I feel better. shrug

If you think that’s bad, Oracle renamed their LTS DB product from 23c to 23ai the other day.

I think Poettering did a blog post just before he left RedHat (or maybe it was just after) where he described his ‘perfect’ OS - it was pretty detailed, I imagine it was indeed what we’d call systemd+Linux

Edit: Found it

systemd-resolved

I feel like we’re not far away from saying “There’s a systemd for that.”

However, distributions like Fedora will definitely be in the lead, judging by previous experiences and stories of adapting new Linux technologies and Systemd components.

I wonder if this is still true, now that he no longer works for RedHat, but Microsoft.

To answer the question of discrepancies, yes. There are actually different types of virtualisation techniques that offer different levels of interaction between the VM and the hardware (negating the use of additional emulation and processing, etc.). Look up paravirtualisation.
