Looks like mobile auto formatting to me. G after a period, N is from a name, g ends with a ? but no space afterwards, so it doesn't auto capitalize.

Why?

If the Russians had not been rude to Musk, and hurt his little ego, SpaceX wouldn't exist.

I guess we blame the Russians for this too then.

Should I use a rolling distro?

Currently, I use Debian on my server. I have an Intel Arc GPU that I use for transcoding, however hardware encoding doesn't work. I am able to get a slight performance benefit from decoding, but encoding would be much better. I have an A750 in my desktop (not server), and was able to get hardware acceleration working, but only...

Serious question - does Slackware offer any special features that make it more attractive?

I stopped using Slackware back when Corel Linux released, and when CL died I switched to Debian and never looked back.

Sounds like they've stayed much the same.

There was a time when I enjoyed that kind of effort. Now I have a job in I.T. and a toddler that I want to spend my free time with.
When I use my personal/private computer, I just want my software to work and I want to be able to keep it patched with minimal effort.

In a way I'm glad Slackware has kept to the original ideals. I enjoyed using it from the 3 series through 7 at least. I remember people getting their knickers in a twist when he jumped version numbers. In those days I had a custom kernel that I wove patches into. Big O scheduler, usb support, agpart support, some other stuff I can't remember. I remember wanting low latency because MP3s skipped otherwise.

It was fun, but back then hacking on Linux kernel patches and building things from source was my hobby.
I remember loading Linux into a powermac 4400 because I could, and I used it as my always-on IRC machine.

Ahhh Slackware.

Forensic data recovery. How many 500GB drives ship to PCs that never use more than 20% of that?

deltapi ,

As of January 2024, archive.org claims to have over 99 Petabytes of data stored.

deltapi ,

Absolutely. This video does a great job of debunking the myth. There's a follow-up explaining why higher sampling has a place in audio mastering.

Who are the people you're talking about?

deltapi ,

I don't understand. Are you saying you're a racist, abusive, narcissistic fuckhead? Or that you're fat?

    I was too, but as soon as I heard about the acquisition I started diversifying my non production kit for testing.
    I've now got Proxmox installed on an HPE DL380G10 with GPU pass thru, same on an HP Z440, and XenServer 8 installed on a pair of DL380G9 with MSA2040 backing storage.

    At home I've got both truenas scale and truenas core set up each on a z230.

    No matter what happens with the IT department at my office, I'm ready to either meet the new standards here, or go find work elsewhere.

    The first board mount (actually through-board case mount) I recall seeing were HP socket 478. That horror-show of a socket also saw many plastic retention clip implementations that had a tendency to get brittle and crack. Socket 423 (which came before) had the same plastic junk mounts.
