Btw COW isn’t necessarily (and isn’t at least for ZFS) a performance trade-off. Data isn’t really copied, new data is simply written elsewhere on the disk (and the old data is not marked as free space).

Ultimately it actually means “the data behaves as though it was copied,” which can be achieved in many ways. There are many ways to do that without actually copying.

As of 2017 he still contributes and said “it’s fun.” I assume he did.

But even Linus has since admitted that his behavior was unacceptable.

Larger engines (such as those in power plants) are also generally more efficient. And RVs don’t use oil to drive the oil to where the car can get oil - we have the grid (a modern wonder of the world) to do that for us.

… so long as you’re not leasing them, the lifetime energy cost is night and day.

The current rhetoric against EVs is reminiscent of the rhetoric against nuclear power. Yes, it’s not great. Yes, it’s not renewable. However, it gives us more time to more deeply address these issues. The successful anti-nuclear Green Peace campaigns against nuclear have done immeasurable damage to the environment in the long-term (I’m now convinced they were a big oil sock puppet all along). The same could be said for the anti-EV crowd, but the “EVs are sexy” campaign seems to be gaining more traction this time round.

Make no mistake though, the “EVs are just as bad” is a myth perpetuated by big oil.

If you can do a bike, then please do a bike (or a scooter, or one of the many options). If you can’t, then an EV is a good choice. If you can’t afford an EV. But never, ever, lease.

I started with a Hakko, $120. It blows my mind how much better a $25 soldering iron (Pinecil V2) is. Both only have 2 buttons, but the Hakko does a terrible job with them. The Hakko also takes significantly longer to heat, which resulted in me running it really hot when I first started out.

Not littering.

Mostly the IT stuff (server builds, networking, etc.) and especially the home stuff. I’m a fiend for information, and it was a pretty digestible format.

I know a well-connected resort liaison in South Africa. This is what happens on game reserves with predators/scavengers, nature has a way of cleaning up the evidence.

I recently switched away from the Legion 5 15ARH05: AMD APU+NVIDIA. The thing with laptops is that you are at the mercy of the system integrator. They are able to integrate the GPU in weird ways and often do. For me the external monitor wouldn’t work without the proprietary NVIDIA drivers installed. The NVIDIA drivers caused all sorts of problems, from backlight woes to failure to resume from standby (which worked fine without the drivers installed).

If you do go with an NVIDIA machine, go with one that is built for Linux. I switched to an all AMD (I really don’t want to deal with NVIDIA bullshit) System76, but I hear their NVIDIA story is pretty good.

Do not buy a Windows+NVIDIA laptop and put Linux on it - unless you get a glowing recommendation for a specific model.

You should install the open source System76 modules for the best experience (not required): https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

Linux actually stands for “Linux is not Unix.” Recursive acronyms were a bit of a geek inside joke at the time.

That’s a Stallman rant/copypasta. Calling it GNU/Linux isn’t very common outside of his fans.

Linux is a Unix, but Unix is not Linux. Solus is a Unix, as is MacOS (a really bad one), and BSD.

why hasn’t anyone else said anything,

This question has been asked a million times. It has been shown time and time again that whether more people come forward has no correlation to how common something is. This is mostly because it’s really hard to do so while being bullied (which is really just abuse).

Even an outside investigator might have issues getting the real story, and is biased due to being on the same payroll as all the other employees. I have had personal experience with this: an outside investigator called in to resolve a conflict with a person whose bullying had previously caused multiple people to quit. It was resolved “amicably” (which is to say not at all). An employer only gives a damn so far as their bottom line goes, and that goes for Linus too. This investigator is going to come in and tip-toe around LMG’s and Linus’s involvement in this, mark my words.

Again, to summarize, Linus saying the things didn’t happen is exactly why people don’t come forward: my word vs the boss.

I was an avid fan since 2015, fortunately I adopted their perspective about shitty companies and what to do about them. I don’t preorder, I don’t tolerate shitty ethics, I don’t purchase half-finished videos/products, which means I certainly don’t consume LTT content.

Madison is a hero for stepping up like this.

It’s not that they hate it, they just don’t care at all.

Also, you should use your distro’s prepackaged driver - not the Nvidia installer.

I take it you weren’t using flakes?

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used vscode, but you want to invoke the command pallet (Ctrl+P I think) and create a build profile/task/something. You then want to do the same for a debug profile. This will create two files under .vscode - you will need to edit the debug one to add the build task as a dependency for the debug profile.

You could also try running dotnet build in the terminal before doing what you are doing already.

Also vscodium won’t work, the debugging plugin is closed source and is only available for vscode.

Printers have always been an issue, especially recently. They love their home-grown (likely inaccessible, I might add) UIs. We had an HP and it was a complete shitshow - the Windows driver would crash whatever app invoked the print dialog for the second time. HP suggested installing their app from the Microsoft store - absolute garbage as you might imagine.

Shit worked flawlessly with Linux.

I replaced the heap of steaming shit with a Xerox Laser printer. Given their corporate background they have less weird shit going on, and that did pay off for my wife’s Windows machine. Oh boy, is it still so much more reliable under Linux. I need to install a PPD, which means digging into the CUPS management and things could definitely use improvement there (it works flawlessly, but it’s confusing and ugly).

Scanning is sometimes a little hit-and-miss though.

Fastmail is well-regarded, although they are hosted in Australia (which has some really dumb privacy laws). I use them. There’s an import tool.

If you are privacy paranoid, mailfence is hosted in Belgium, which is a brick wall when it comes to privacy and warrants - likely the best jurisdiction in the world in this regard. The interface is dated.
