Oh so many fun adventures, too much to count… But a few nice ones:

• HDD died, so ran a desktop system over network from a NAS (nfs) without HDD… for months.
• Rebuilding a corrupted system (any bit advanced tools wouldn’t start anymore, like apt).
• Custom bootable live cd based on Linux From Scratch (around 2002).
• Anything related to Kerberos and NFS4.
• Replacing syscalls to run software from a ramdrive that would otherwise not work.
• Recently using debootstrap to install Kubuntu with a ZFS root, which went surprisingly smooth and pretty easy.

I love Linux for all these insane possibilities.

Although the display was grating, Trump fell for it hook, line and sinker. Having seen Rutte in his previous role as prime-minister before this was all an act just to butter him up.

Github. The / key is usually a shortcut in Firefox (and many other software) for search. But they hijacked it to their search-field that requires you to be logged in anyway. So you can only use ctrl+f on their site.

For websearch I’ve switched to Kagi and it does exactly what I need, nothing more, nothing less.

Hosting a Gitlab for work and for my private projects I agree. The CI/CD is excellent and I really like the way they handle issues and merge-requests. Gitlab is great but quite a beast, so throw some good CPU and storage at it.

I tried OVH last year as a CDN for out site and the interface and features were either horribly slow or severely lacking. I hope they can use this as an impulse to improve their services. At least the Azure interfaces are also dogslow so not much competition there. Scaleway was pretty good but their support was hopelessly bad and it was too bad they nixed their arm64 offerings.

Don’t trust a word that idiot sais. Pete Hoekstra is a lying piece of shit.

Maybe buildroot is something you’re looking for?

It’s a sad state of affairs. I would pay for youtube in a heartbeat if it wasn’t connected to the biggest spyware company in the world. But now, even while paying you still get ads and they still track you. The people working at Alphabet are bad and should feel bad.

Yeah, the action part is the least interesting, especially…

But I really like the soundtrack of the last scene and the credits after that.

Thats pretty cool. Movies with such wide distribution are often at least interesting… Not per se good though.

Ha fair. Although trailers ruined movies for me so I have stopped watching them at all.

Maybe not really love love but quite enjoyed:

• Postal 4.5/10

The whole movie is bad and offensive, just like the games it is based on. And that makes it a nice fun adventure. It does really help if you’ve played the games though. I would give it a 6/10.

It is a nice look into the switch from a perspective of a windows user. But since he is experimenting there is a also a lot of bad choices or wrong information.

He gripes about things not going smoothly while replacing his whole desktop environment (when was the last time you replaced your explorer.exe?).

And clamping to old ways of doing things. Which is understandable but would go a lot better with a little bit of guidance. Why force Chrome while Firefox was probably pre-installed or Chromium also works. Using Filezilla while Dolphin can probably do it in an integrated way. Using Notepad++ while Kate probably covers most of his use-cases.

This doesn’t invalidate his experiences but it does indicate a resistance to switch.

There is some valid criticisms as well though. The docking station that bugs out or KDE Connect that is confused. We can improve those things, but hardly force Logitech to bring their (horrible) software suite to Linux.

Maybe he should give it another few weeks to actually feel that while his old ways might not transfer over 1:1 the new ways give him a lot more power.

The show they’re talking about is American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden . Fyi.

The asshole also keeps waving his Dutch ancestry around. But he left as a small child and can’t even speak the language. After the lies no Dutchman wants anything to do with this lying piece of shit.

I must say I haven’t been much impressed by movies this year, but maybe you have some recommendations?

I think the movie was… just fine… There were some funny moments and I like Jack Quaid. But there was really nothing special in it. And it irked me a bit to see the protagonist get pretty nasty maimed… even though he just shook it off.

All in all hardly a memorable movie for me. I’ve recently watched Borderline and that one made a better impression.

When I learned that you could solve it using some standard moves the magic was completely gone.

What a horrible human being. If destroying books or repressing knowledge is part of your dogma you are on the wrong side of history.
