wmassingham, to linux in Will Linux on Itanium be saved? Absolutely not

Is anyone actually running modern Linux on Itanium? I have never in my life even heard of anyone using those chips. I find it hard to imagine anyone still using them that isn’t running something legacy.

wmassingham, to opensource in Witchcraft | A Minecraft server written in bash

I missed the word “server” every time and thought it was a client, and spent far too long trying to figure out how you’d play Minecraft in Bash. Text based? ASCII graphics?

wmassingham, to linux in [Video] Red Hat Is About To End Xorg: Is Wayland Ready?

Nobody. And it’s not like Red Hat runs the X.Org Foundation, either, at most they have one seat on the board. Development will continue.

wmassingham, to linux in Is the Windows Subsystem for Linux worth it?

Same. Well, not forced, but using Linux would just make everything more difficult. I like being able to drop to a shell and use a Linux environment with its useful utilities to manipulate stuff on my Windows PC.

Yeah, I could use mingw, but that is a pain, and I can’t just apt install stuff.

wmassingham, to linux in TIL

Still can. Only a few years ago, I would cat random things to classmates’ tty devices.

wmassingham, to linux in Custom shell prompt tips and tricks?

I make it green for an ssh session, and red when I’m root. That’s it, nothing fancy.

wmassingham, to linux in /etc/fstab entry for Synology NAS

What do you mean “doesn’t work”? Is there some error message in the log (dmesg, /var/log/messages, on the console, whatever raspbian uses)?

wmassingham, (edited ) to linux in systemd 255 Released With A "Blue Screen of Death" For Linux Systems

I’m not sure what that post is meant to show, if swap isn’t “disk RAM”. That post even concludes:

Swap […] provides another, slower source of memory […]

PSoD is already used by VMware ESXi. And Windows Insider builds, I think.

Maybe green?

wmassingham, to linux in please help me, why is this happening??

The monitor seems to be recommending you use mode 1280x1024. Have you tried that?

wmassingham, to datahoarder in Mechanical or SSD for offsite storage that’s updated at least yearly?

Google Drive does not count as cloud backup, especially for something business-critical.

wmassingham, (edited ) to linux in Will Linux on Itanium be saved? Absolutely not

Yeah. I know of ancient AS/400 and slightly less ancient RS/6000 systems still humming along, keeping insurance companies running.

But they probably haven’t seen software updates in decades. Linux 1.0 didn’t even exist when they were new, let alone 6.7.

wmassingham, to linux in What's your experiences with Debian and Rocky as a homeserver OS?

I’ve been using Alma for a while and been happy with it. Like RHEL types, it’s slightly behind on versioning, but that’s by design.

wmassingham, to linux in How safe are my data if my hard drive isn't encrypted?

Either self-encrypting drives (if you trust the OEM encryption) or auto-unlock with keys in the TPM: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trusted_Platform_Module#…
