acockworkorange,

Of working with Linus? Yes, it probably did.

acockworkorange,

So two wrongs make a right? Or could this have been a civil private email instead? And if civil private conversations aren’t working, then it’s time to part ways.

acockworkorange,

I meant Linus’ behavior was a fuckup. And he probably fucked up a lot between this example and his stepping down.

acockworkorange,

This happened on kernel 3.8, he stepped down on 4.18. That’s plenty of time time for as lot more fuckups.

acockworkorange,

Acceptable, yes. But a good manager knows not to shine a spotlight on the mistakes of the team. There’s nothing to gain keeping it public that you wouldn’t also gain by keeping it private. But your team’s morale is kept high if you sing their praises instead of their shortcomings.

acockworkorange,

Yeah, shouting at your subordinates in public is utter bullshit.

acockworkorange,

The Ol’ reliable. Takes a bit of work, but the result is great. Debian stable.

acockworkorange,

I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it.

Fuck. What the hell.

I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that plus Tor plus LibreJS is enough to prevent my browsing from being associated with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods.

Ironically I think this makes his the most unique fingerprint in the whole internet.

acockworkorange,

What about bcachefs excites you? Like, what does it offer that ext4, Btrfs and zfs don’t?

acockworkorange,

Snapshots changed my life. And I don’t exactly demand ultra reliability for my home PC. Thanks for the feedback!

acockworkorange,

Btrfs is data loss prone? OpenSUSE Tumbleweed uses it as default, I assumed it was good enough.

acockworkorange,

I have. It’s not all what it’s cracked up to be.

acockworkorange,

All Linuces are full of daemons, so rejoice my stannic friend.

acockworkorange,

Mint automatically creates a @home sub volume if you install your root in a Btrfs partition. Just saying.

acockworkorange,

OpenSUSE does this as default, which is laudable. Mint will only use Btrfs if you manually tell it to, it just handles it gracefully once you do choose to use it.

acockworkorange,

Meh. I’ve been rocking Debian based distros ever since Aptitude was released on Debian stable. Which distro just depends on how much free time I have to F around the computer. Lots of time? Something that updates fast. My child was born? I want something rock solid and immutable for years because I don’t want to waste time learning new stuff.

acockworkorange,

Plan 9 became Inferno and was quite successful as a distributed OS for network appliances.

acockworkorange,

Sounds like my experience with QNX 6. It was fun for a while, especially with the microkernel novelty. I could kill the mouse driver and bring it back to life. It was interesting to have that on a 486 with memory corruption issues.

acockworkorange,

I’m ignorant on this issue, what’s up with them?

acockworkorange,

Yikes. It started out as expats in Japan and took a left turn to concentration camp real fast.

acockworkorange,

Nah, I wish he’d live forever. Forever decaying, more frail and incapable with each passing day. Just wishing for the sweet release of death, but never actually getting it.

acockworkorange,

Rhino has great out of the box experience, but it’s just too bleeding edge for me. I want a Suse Tumbleweed using APT.
