“pick a fucking struggle” Is now my favorite thing

RTFM, Mom!

How is /etc/fstab configured? Partitions should be assigned to mount points by UUID and not by their names (such as /dev/sda1). Names can easily change across boots.

Something to look into. Understand the frustrations here, but it looks like something that can be fixed if you are able to get to the machine and troubleshoot.

Sure! My point is that hosting doesn’t really matter, though. Malware and vulnerabilities are introduced at all points of supply chains.

• PyPi
• npm
• Maven Central
• Docker Hub
• Artifact Hub
• PPA
• AUR

The problem isn’t specific to anything. It’s also not specific to malware. Vulnerabilities are just as dangerous, if not more so.

Are there any other the right can legit claim? I’m sure there are a few more, but this is all I can scrape from the top of my brain.

I certainly don’t, but do you have a link to it?

Involved intramural sports are hard.

Wouldn’t parenting and community be external meaning?

Seems like internal meaning world have to do with spiritual or mental stuff.

Lol thanks for clarifying your sarcasm. 😂 I can be an airhead at times.

I was actually interested in trying NixOS on a laptop that is gathering dust. I did see a few months ago that there was some drama surrounding the project owner, though. I never investigated enough to understand what that was all about, but I’m less excited about digging into something if it may suddenly end.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am interested in nix, but haven’t explored it yet.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I think I have a clearer picture of the problems it’s trying to solve and the solutions it’s delivering.

It also now seems connected to immutable distros I’ve heard about recently. So I guess the idea there is that the OS is just a tiny core set of libraries that never have to change, then the applications have their dependencies bundled, instead of requiring them as system dependencies.

I’m not convinced it’s something I want as a user, but more importantly not something I need.

From a development perspective, it seems downright seductive, allowing almost total freedom of opinion.

The AUR is a different kettle of fish entirely, though. I do see your point, but the AUR is solving a problem common to all distros; hosting a repository for applications that there isn’t willingness or capacity to host in the official binary repos.

Installation, removal, dependency management, etc are all still handled by pacman. As others have pointed out there are great tools available to aid in AUR usability. My favorite is aurutils.

Some kinda wise guy over here 🤣

The sway man pages are really helpful. I prefer waybar and bemenu to round out my core environment tools.

“Bad people” isn’t the schtick of Sunny or Seinfeld, or any comedy. Shitty people is a trope that’s as old as comedy itself. Twists and turns of their lies, dastardly plans backfiring, etc. If you have a problem with that, I think your sense of humor is broken.

On the other hand, if you think their particular bits or premises aren’t funny, you’re just demonstrating you have bad taste, and that is fine.

The billionaire class probably have enough resources to starve us all out of a general strike. The system ticks on in the meantime… Landlords expect rent, banks expect mortgage payments, interest accrues, etc.

I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I don’t think there’s a way to swat the system in the nose and in bring it around to working for regular people.

To cripple capitalism in the way that people seem to envision would require mass worker revolt; seizing assets and land, securing access to basic needs, military and communications operations. However, a prolonged revolt will only create a power vacuum, so it would also require a plan to implement reforms in a coordinated, cooperative, and sustainable manner.

“It’s Always Sunny” is some of the greatest American comedy since “Seinfeld”. If you think it’s trash, I’m interested to know what you consider great comedy to be.

Alright let’s get this started. Shōgun is not a good TV show.
