henfredemars,

I’ve got third-party cookies disabled entirely. I click whatever makes the dialogue go away faster.

It’s a cool feature, and I played with it some, but I don’t really see how to use it in a home or small office environment unless you’re willing to subscribe to someone who can generate the live patches for you.

I can certainly generate the patches myself, but it’s much faster to let the maintainer of my distro’s kernel handle shipping new packages and accepting the reboot. My system reboots really quickly.

If high reliability is a concern, I would suggest load balancing or some other horizontally scaled solution such that you’re not impacted by one machine going down. Because they will go down for things other than updates!

henfredemars,

Man that place. I know it’s cliche to talk about it like talking about your ex on a date, but I posted there for good reason.

I found the solution to a rare bug that was bothering a group of people. I posted the solution, and my account was immediately banned sitewide for violating the terms of service, whatever that means.

I thought to myself: yeah… it was a mistake coming here. Leave it to the bots to have conversations with themselves.

It was a solution to a Lutris bug. Basically, flatpak containers can use these things called portals to gain access to specific files and directories via a file chooser rather than broad access or manually assigned access.

In this case, my wine installation was crashing because some part of it was trying to obtain a lock on a directory object, which is an unsupported feature when accessing a directory through a portal. The error message is something completely unrelated like can’t draw window with a string of hex values. It took me a few hours to track down the real root cause.

Oh well. Works on my machine. Also, there’s a fix on the development branch now. I made a write-up, posted it, and it’s all gone. I should have known better honestly. It works great for some people but anybody can arbitrarily receive unfair treatment with no recourse at any time. I’m satisfied knowing that eventually the fix will get out to everybody eventually. It’s just a shame I couldn’t leave a signpost behind.
