Back in a day we played with it with my cousins when they were kids (and I was teenager). There was some big insect like hornet or at least wasp with that scary noise. The younger one was afraid of it to the point he would run away, screaming and crying (no exaggeration here). And the older one loved to scary the shit out of his younger bro to the point he still mentions it with a smile sometimes even though they’re now 20+

ok then, salad more for me please

Wayland is not a single program. It’s specification and set of basic client/server libraries that can be used to implement a compositor. Compositor are implementations of the Wayland protocol and there are multiple such programs that are different one from another, but generally serve the same purpose and are compatible with the same clients. General idea behind Wayland compositor is that it blends images from different clients into single frame that is then sent to kernel

CDs were 700MB

MPV playback and games aren’t everything, but it’s decent for the starter

Microsoft hasn’t changed all that much. They don’t see Linux as an OS to run games or MS Office with. It’s not a consumer platform and never will be, it’s more of a server/container maaybe workstation system for a tech-savvy/developer/scientist. Its UI is meant to open terminals and text editors, not movie players or game launchers. Microsoft loves Linux until it leaves the business area and try to sneak into consumer market. There’s nothing stopping them from doing harm to desktop Linux with all their „love” to Linux the modern mainframe system that happens to be industry standard. They can still patent things and do legality tricks (like in HDMI forums), try to put Windows on devices where Linux could be competition (one Linux handheld console = 10 more new Windows handhelds), bind consumers with something only Windows can run (Xbox Gamepass?) etc

The MS distro you're talking about already exists - it is called Azure Linux (recently renamed from CBL-Mariner).

Ekhm, Steam is still 32 bit app with only X11 support. It can’t even figure out UI scaling based pn global scale. It’s generally a mess.

Would work better with Fortnite

I was trying to setup Timeshift for system snapshots on a work computer with Ubuntu. It didn’t work for some reason so I tried to first get rid of it. After uninstalling it, I wanted to remove, what I though, were remains of TS files in /run/timeshift, but the root partition was still mounted, so I rm-rfd the whole root, luckily except for home. And the computer has BIOS password with secure boot, so talking to IT dep about what I’ve done that is…. Or is it?
The /boot and the initramfs was still in place, so it was dropping me to emergency shell when trying to boot. Connecting external USB to see if I can mount it, hmm doesn’t show up. Quick search on my private computer what kernel modules are required for USB storage, modprobed couple of xhci_* and bang, was able to mount it. I saved result of ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid on the drive and moved to my private PC, where I created VM and installed exact same Ubuntu with exact config (LVM+Luks) and after it was done I copied all of / content to the (now formatted as ext4) external drive using cp -a, then edited fstab and crypttab to put proper UUIDs there, set up hostname and user account accordingly. Then moved back to the borked laptop, copied the newly installed Ubuntu back to the root partition, rebooted and it worked perfectly on first try and continues to work. All of that roller coster in just a single hour.

No longer* xD

azvasKvklenko ,

I used to run Arch, btw

azvasKvklenko ,

Which will make you see it anyway in any consumer product or service other than the computer OS.

azvasKvklenko ,

I don’t feel sorry for them, that’s well deserved

azvasKvklenko ,

They probably run something way too old for soystemd

I think revisiting Linux would be great idea, but the current state isn’t that far off from what he experienced few years ago. Wayland protocols aren’t fully there yet, NVIDIA still needs some work, portals, desktops, 3rd party software and hardware support, package formats bullshit… There’s shit load of pending changes still being discussed, progress is being made, and even then, adoption of new solutions will take a while. It only make sense to revisit when there’s huge technological leap. Realistically with how slow things are going sometimes, it may be the end of the decade or close before the landscape looks really different.

If you stick to Steam games and skip everything else then no, it doesn’t.

The difference is, Windows no matter how shitty, is the supported OS and you can demand from your hw vendor or distributor that all features are accessible on it. I use Linux full time for 17 years and it works for me much better and I get everything done way easier than on Windows, sometimes it is as you say and I see other people using Windows computers to struggle with problems that I never had. But the reality is, Windows is what’s common for normies. If they have problem with it, they can just ask their family member/neighbor for help, or the shop where they bought their PC from.

Scares off from what exactly? They’re using some gaming system and don’t care about what’s running under the hood. They may be perfectly unaware that it’s Linux or what exactly it is and why should they even care.

I love Ansible while hating when people touch it. Yes, it’s very flexible but at what cost? If you actually learn it and follow some basic guidelines, you can make beautiful playbooks and inventories having wonderful automation for even complex setups while keeping it clean. But if one doesn’t care and just try to make servers go brrr, it becomes horrific glorified shell script with everything hardcoded, most tasks unaware of changes they make, cesspool of shitty templates, breaking itself in minutes, being pain to work with and making me want to delete all the shit and start all over.

azvasKvklenko ,

It’s far more than just SSHing and running shell scripts. Besides, I wouldn’t ever call it a „framework”.

It’s a tool for Linux, BSDs and even Windows machine setup automation in a declarative fashion. Tasks are usually built out of wide range of provided modules for both universal actions (like file edits, templating, shell commands) and very specific ones (like Podman containers, Postgres users, indexes in Mongo, whatever you imagine, you can even implement your own in Python). Those tasks have logic that can detect the status for each of the tasks in each specified nodes, so they can not only be applied, but also dry run with precise diff tracking (diff of config files to be applied, packages to be installed, etc).

It has inventory that can be both static (config file), and dynamic (e.g query an AWS account for Ec2-s or get nodes from Proxmox) that lets you group your however many hosts (by purpose, etc), attach variables to specific hosts or entire groups, or even store encrypted credentials to use them in roles. When dealing with hundreds of hosts, at some point this is something you need to do anyway, but here it really shines even with much smaller amount of machines.

Ansible can be very reliable and provide awesome environments, but it requires some learning and due to its flexibility, it can also be used badly. I have some success stories with it in last 7 years of utilizing it for both small and big business.

That being said, if you want some magic hammer that just does stuff without requiring any understanding, Ansible might not be the thing.

And no, Terraform is not an replacement for Ansible and vice versa. Those two are designed for different purposes. I actually used them together in some projects.

azvasKvklenko ,

Or your own module in Python if it gets too complex to do with just Ansible

azvasKvklenko ,

Building custom images for cloud can be one. Builtins have a lot of ready to use logic that you might want in your scripts anyway

azvasKvklenko ,

Nice, I love it

azvasKvklenko ,

Was Brexit really worth it?

azvasKvklenko ,

Shit’s exactly the same, especially with Gamescope

azvasKvklenko ,

Come and join us share the software
Set you freeee pirate set you
Freeehehee

What would fit perfectly now is Snapchat-like short vertical videos on repeat. Do it Reddit
