Magit

I borrowed an installation CD from the local library around 1998. It was RedHat 5.x, and I started messing around with it due to me being interested in alternative operating systems. Before it, I had OS/2 Warp 3.0 in our IBM Pentium 100 MHz family computer which didn’t really do it for me to be honest.

It took weeks to get anything working with Linux. I went to the library, borrowing books. In our middle school we had an internet connection, so I utilized it to learn how to configure modelines correctly to get X11 running.

When it did finally run, the default window manager was FVWM95, almost like Windows 95!

I used OSX a few years in the power PC times, just to switch back to Linux around 2008.

Edit: my real love for Linux started when I got Debian running. RedHat didn’t have anything comparable to apt those days. You needed to download RPM packages manually with all the dependencies, while apt just worked with one command.

It is just me wanting to filter 🍎 completely from the instance, so all mentions to 🍎 products get redacted. That is kind of an insider joke due to that company being so prevalent in internet forums such as HN or Reddit. At least in my own instance all mentions of removed are hidden.

I use podman on NixOS. It’s cool, but be warned there are subtle and less subtle differences.

The docker desktop does. It is very tricky to install docker without it on removed.

And Finland…

Yep. I switched from xorg/i3 years ago, and it was already super snappy back then compared to the previous setup. Today everything works with Wayland, and I don’t really need to think about it anymore.

But, ymmv. I avoid Nvidia’s products, which helps a lot for the stability.

I’m a dev and I mainly see issues with removed… Every update breaks some tools the cli tools are ancient, homebrew is slow as hell and breaks quite often, docker is really slow and costs money if you don’t know how to avoid that, it’s very expensive to get to a certain amount of RAM that costs nothing on PC and so on.

Yeah I’ve been working a lot in my life in seed stage startups and it is quite common in the early stages… I try to make things change though.

A 15000 line PR landing on a Friday evening for the lucky random reviewer to open on Monday. “Please approve it fast so we avoid too many conflicts.”

Me too. Although I will not cry if Stubb takes the presidency. Will not vote for him, but it will not be the end of the world either.

Add a schema to it and you get XML. The ultimate serialization format.

Are you suggesting kids nowadays know anything about music?

For sure.

I can keep The Beatles and Steely Dan, everything else can get their coats.

I did a ton of homelab stuff this weekend, planning to write everything down eventually and publish it somewhere…

A spare computer (e.g. a rpi), tailscale (free) and a bit of time to set up.

I selfhost a SearXNG instance in my homelab. It aggregates results from multiple sites, works without JavaScript and filters out all tracking, AMP bullshit and so on.

It is important to run it at home, Google tends to blacklist VPS address ranges, and if you have a public instance, you’ll get rate limited quite fast.
