Laughs in esp32

And glorious. Been playing for a few months. Wild stuff.

I worked with windows and their servers for a long, long time. Fully delved into that ecosystem as it was between 2000-2019 or so.

In 2019 i quit the job I had then and went on a short sabbatical, severe burnout. I had played around with knoppix circa 2003, slackware as well, but I didn’t “get it”.

So the image of linux, in my head, were those experiences until 2019, when I took another look. I had a 500gb sata ssd that I was using to test out every distro under the sun, including a relatively successful install of BLFS. For 2 years I had tried all I could get my hands on, until I settled on my distro of choice.

Nuked my nvme, cleaned out almost all windows remnants from my homelab and went balls deep in linux.

So now I am off windows for about 5 years and I feel like I did when I quit smoking. I keep an install around on a spare ssd because I need fusion360 and a few games that only work on windows so I can keep up with the few friends I have.

But home is on my linux installs and every day, I enjoy the shit out of it.

Interesting, @chazwiz, if you ever go the debian way, check the kernel

Same here, sick of holy wars.

That being said, it seems the hardware difference is there, amd 370 is undercooked on debian, unless you use either sid or custom kernels.

A gits dir and a dir called “wd”. Short for working dir.

Its a dumpfest of scripts, tomls, yamls, directories galore. The gits dir is where I keep my cmdb, that one is organized. wd is like a playground where I allow myself not to give a shit

Yup! Considering that cpu, debian will be painful, but ubuntu as a server is asking for trouble. Look for fedora server, for the love of god even an arch server. Do your future self a favor and avoid that grilled roadkill that is ubuntu.

Fedora server comes with cockpit if thsts what you want.

For the 370, fedora works well.

Pinch of salt- i got burned too many times with ubuntu server, I run an extensive homelab and I’m a regular at the burns ward. I loathe ubuntu with the energy of a Wolf-Rayet star.

What?! Theres a huge difference. Ubuntu is hot garbage for server work. How? Wait until you hit a permissions issue with your share and you find that snap did some bullshit, because you have mixed apt and snap packages. The notorious hardcoded snap store backend? Not a fan.

Yeah one might say debian is old packages, but first of all its a nas system, not an internet facing machine or even a main server thst needs a ton of services.

Even then third party software is pretty recent even on debian.

Ubuntu is the wrong choice for any server. Any.

What an irresponsible thing to say, “I’m a moron, jump off the bridge with me”.

Yeah no shit its fine, just until one day we all wake up with “xz” style exploits because “it works bro, stop caring”.

Dude above’s advice is just bad. Firefox defaults to some crappy shit, such as data collection, all the features such as pocket or what have you. By default its just not a secure browser, its really not.

I would advise against using it. Librewolf exists, you need to tweak the settings for it to be a normal browser, with data permanence, but after just a few tweaks you have a relatively secure browser.

For me its security patches. I frequently lock app versions manually.

I do have an old laptop that uses a fixed release, because it sees infrequent use.

One needs to adjust whats needed per usecase. For me that means daily drivers get semi-rolling or rolling. Where stability is neede/older systems, fixed releases.

Best overall you say? Don’t post absolutes friend, the way the browser space is right now, none of them are the best overall. They each are better than others for their respective niche.

Same here, I use the exact same ones

Excuse me, I’m curious, how does one mess up their search history?

1T$ is a … Loooot of money, it makes no sense for any one person to have that much.

For example, the German government spending for 2024 was arount the 2T mark. So Elmo here could fund the German state for half a year with this deal.

One person. Dude…

Ultich, dont take this the wrong way, but thats how you are using systems and thats how you see them. It is your perspective, not everyones perspective.

Computers are not just one thing, one tool. They can be, they are, many times. But for many of us they are hobbies, a thing to tinker and experiment with, thats who you the the pretty UIs from.

I get that ignorance is bliss, but you can not paint the whole ecosystem with the same brush. People are different. Generally yeah, you are right, but it is also a very ignorant way to look at things.

Hullo! Beyond the pantomime of AI, I noticed something similar. I’m in the workforce for about 20 years now.

The management pushes back hard when you get too close to changing the modus operandi, because its a few short steps away from automating away the middle management. If you get rid of one cohort, whats there to say that you cant do the dame of another.

Abstractions aside, it more of the same, company A sells consulting to company B, that sells services to company C. The product from “A” is barely if at all seen in the output towards “C”, because of the whole, overinflated process. Just so you can sell some bullshit along with the meat and potatoes.

Dont fret OP, I think you are right on the money, regardless of some here say.

how many watts does it chug on average? Sweet setup.

Not really, I’m using kde.

The only thing the mozilla foundation deserves is a red hot iron prod up the arse.
