So … six months and nobody notices?

What’s the problem?

Thank you. Glad I’m not alone in this quest with that kind of history.

My current desktop is Wheezy inside a VM - also across several platforms, but VMware, by design , doing the heavy lifting.

Anything of note, essentially everything except Audacity, is running on a Bookworm Docker host with X11 forwarding and reverse mount sshfs, so all the container “sees” is the directory I give it.

I’ve made several attempts to move away from Wheezy, but there’s too many scripts in my ~/bin directory to make that simple.

The “fresh paint smell” experience for me comes from a docker pull or docker build, but it does require hardware capabilities that died eight months or so ago, when my 64 GB RAM iMac died. No data loss, just endless frustration.

At the moment I’m exploring EC2 on demand. I suspect that for the $10k I previously spent on hardware, I can always have the latest on tap, but I’m still trying to get real-time audio editing to not be a weekly disaster. Getting closer, but not quite there yet.

I’ll have a squiz at NixOS, seems like an interesting approach.

Much obliged for sharing your experience!

Unfortunately I can’t run Debian on my M3 MacBook Air :-(

Wow, that brings back memories. Forgot about the whole Palm thing. That was a wild ride at the time.

Thank you!

I got a T-shirt from Mozilla in the early 1990’s and foolishly wore it to death. My Linux tie pin is somewhere, but I’m sure that my penguin tie has died, as have the Debian Potato CDs with boot disks for x86, PowerPC and SPARC.

Forgot about BeOS (and NetBSD for that matter), and wonder what came of BeOS.

Why NixOS? I’ve been using Debian since Slink and am interested to hear, what made you move?

Debian Slink

Before that, Windows NT, A/UX, Solaris and VAX/VMS.

Before that, Vic 20 and Apple II

Still using Debian every day whilst navigating the perils of MacOS.

Thank you.

That article is very light on detail. I wanted to know if my government was represented, but the article doesn’t even show a list of all the countries participating.

Isn’t Bloomberg supposed to be the source of reliable global business information that’s informing the business leaders of the world, or is this just another random journalism by billionaire outfit?

I’ve been using Linux for over a quarter of a century. Initially I spent hours attempting to come up with the best partitioning scheme but these days I pick LVM and use the defaults.

If I run out of space, I add a drive (or grow the virtual one) and grow the filesystem into the extra space.

Sometimes I need temporary space and use sshfs to mount a directory from another machine.

In other words, today you have infinite options to adjust according to need, partition schemes are not nearly as important.

Even swap space can live as a file on a normal partition if required.

That said. If you have specific use cases, check what’s required. Specifically because different uses need different attributes, it pays to check.

You said it yourself, “Canadian actress” … I think right there is their excuse to ignore this.

Not enough to make any material impact … yet, if ever.

Wait until a celebrity is handcuffed at the border whilst live streaming the experience.

Even then, the brainwashed will still claim that it was justified.

Not until it happens to them will anything like this resonate.

I think things like DHL no longer accepting personal shipments into the USA valued at over $800 will have a bigger impact than this all too familiar story.

“Whoops, you weren’t meant to see that yet…”

Wallpaper, yeah, there’s a lot of that going around. The main feature discussed with the recent new release of apt discussed colour as the primary new feature. No mention of any actual substantive changes or reference to the impact on apt-get et al., or even a link to the detailed change log.

Why do you care about votes?

What makes you think that a defederated instance votes are still captured?

Why do you care about what happens on another instance?

Obviously not everyone learnt from the pandemic…

Gotta love the administrative efforts made at 2 am … wonder if the person doing those updates was being paid overtime … you know in the name of … efficiency.

BIOS could be managing CPU based on battery power.

CPU thermal throttling.

Hardware fault.

With Google maps on many phones you should be able to get a good idea if this true or not.
