Fuck off and give me the fiber that was promised and paid for decades ago.

In my experience often detriment. Most of the images for projects that I have been encountering as of late - hell, most Dockerfiles that I’ve been encountering - have hardware-specific config and packages. I just want a Dockerfile or maybe a docker-compose.yaml that is hardware neutral by default and doesn’t use the shitty throttled Dockerhub for its base image.

#!/bin/bash
# Build image and push to registry
docker build -t myproj:latest . && docker push myproj:latest

you answered my second question but not in the way I intended, I meant to ask for more of a methodology like, do you just read the man pages? do you refer to AI? are you just full trial and error? does your work provide resources? Im asking because I generally want to see why its such an issue for people to find info, personally I use a mix of selfhosted AI and various forums and wikis. I wouldn’t be supprised if some users are learning 100% through chatgpt or a single youtube channel.

My recommendation would vary depending on use case.

If just gaming, yeah. Your approach sounds sane.

If wanting to tinker, develop, or, honestly, even do stuff like deploying local LLMs and the like, I would strongly encourage gaining familiarity with manpages. For anytime where precision and accuracy are necessary, like low level tinkering, I don’t believe that should trust LLMs. Learning how to find relevant info in manpages and dev reference materials will save a huge amount of time and heartache.

I can verify that the OS fails to see the microphone and webcam when switched off. This was really confusing the one time that I wanted to use them.

Open question to all: what is your level of profiency?

I’d say that I’m pretty proficient. I haven’t done LFS yet but haven’t really spent more than a few mins with windows except for a handful of times for about 15 years. The one time that I did so recently was to try to get a PSVR2 to work. That experience was so awful (driver disks for OS install, ADS FUCKING EVERYWHERE THAT CANNOT BE DISABLED, etc) that I quickly gave up and ended up killing the VM. I’d dinner become a hermit in a cave than abide by OS-level ads that can only be partially disabled by mucking around in the registry.

Sorry. A bit off-topic. I just really hate ads. Erm… I’ve done some basic tutorials on writing drivers for the kernel and have been working on reverse engineering a driver for some AR glasses, though I’ve not made it too far.

How do you learn about linux?

My initial learning was because I lost my XP serial in college and decided to give Linux a try. From there, a lot of my learning has been through work, which I got due to my teaching myself how to use Linux.

Do you think there is a problem or is it a loud minority of users?

It’s both. I’d say that it really is going to vary based upon the sub-community. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of toxicity in the gaming community at large, which, in my experience, is reflected in segments of Linux gaming communities. On the other hand, I just last night saw a bunch of people on Lemmy trying to help someone figure out how to get their new GPU to work, which was very much the opposite of toxic.

JFC. What is wrong with people? I just want to write code that works, is interesting, and doesn’t have memory problems.

any change to shell scripts that isn’t posix compatible brings opinionated people out the woodwork.

Yo. Did I hear someone breaking POSIX-compatability over here?

I, for one, really love HTTP over

apache2.conf

conf-enabled/
mods-available/

envvars

Absolutely. I’m just accustomed to seeing the currency sign on the left and prefix abbreviation on the right (ex. €300k). Generally, it gets “expanded” to thousand, million, etc. So, three-hundred thousand euro. The things that amused me is thinking of a kiloeuro as a measurement unit, rather than a currency unit.

First, I would like to give you some major props. Installing Arch, in itself, is a big deal. It is not a beginner-friendly distro. It is a very power-user friendly distro and has an incredible wiki that is helpful, at least to some degree, for many distros.

For a beginner distro, I would recommend Linux Mint for its easy transition and great focus on user experiences or Bazzite if you really want to install and get gaming.

When taking drivers in Linux, most are provided as either kernel modules (integrated into the kernel, so you don’t have to worry about installing anything) or packaged for the distro, in which case, once installed via package manager, they’ll auto-update whenever you update system packages. They are so much easier to deal with than Windows drivers (for the end user). For example, to use a Wacom drawing tablet, all one has to do is plug it in.

There hasn’t even been a new privacy law at the national level since the 1980s.

300k€

I choose to read this as 300 kiloeuro.

Fuck. My wife did work with Hanger 13 a while back. Really cool place and good people.

Someone downvoted because they don’t want to remember Bethesda’s shenanigans?

It’s really not just that it is/was cheaper. There are cases where, all costs considered, it was actually measurably more expensive. The main reason for off-shoring is purely ideological. Amercan capital has nothing but disdain for workers and hatred for organized labor. Off-shoring was intended to crush unions, while giving a temporarily lower price to goods to prevent the populace from understanding how much they were getting screwed.

Chip production is a highly specialized field, where workers could readily demand concessions from capital, were they on anything resembling stable ground. That was not too be allowed.

I use Arch BTW.

Gotta start em on something lighter. A gateway distro, if you will.

I’m more concerned about the non-consensual scraping causing excess load on the servers. The taking of content without license to train their energy-wasting autocomplete that is being used to for little commercially but to try to cheapen labor and pocket the money is a problem too. But I hate having servers impacted by their bullshit.

This explains our instance having perf issues.

It’s the principle of committing wage theft, engaging in a contract (possibly verbal) and then keeping the promised compensation instead.
