export PATH=$PATH:/mypath1:/mypath2 in ~/.profile. Means "add :/mypath1:/mypath2 to what is already in $PATH." If you need the entire system to be aware, set or update it in /etc/environment with PATH=...

Absolutely. The only difference is that the benefits aren't imaginary, they are quite tangible.

As opposed to the human-made brain melting videos?

And once again, I am seriously questioning Apple's privacy claims. Why else would Apple build such a moat around Safari?

For your use case, consider it to be a packaging format (like AppImage, Flatpak, Deb, RPM, etc.) that includes all the dependencies (including services, not just libraries) for the app in question.

Should I change this?

If it's not broken don't fix it.

Use Podman (my preferred - the SystemD approach is awesome), containerd, or Incus. Docker is a graveyard of half-finished pet projects that have no reason for existing. Podman has a Docker-compatible socket, so 100% of Docker tooling will work with it.

All software has bugs, including Linux. Some bugs can lead to security escalation. Those bugs are called vulnerabilities. Like bugs, all software has vulnerabilities - including Linux.

Your webcam can be accessed by hackers on Linux, on Windows, on MacOS, on BSD, it doesn't matter.

Apparently the upgrade (including configuration) is incredibly smooth. Those interested in tinkering with the vanilla experience have had to install it in a VM.

Linus is dunning-kruger crystallized and refined. He routinely talks authoritatively about subjects he knows little about. His qubit analogy is particularly wrong and annoying, and he doesn't stop bringing it up.

Either way, more idiot filters have been installed in front of that and you'll have to do way more work (likely learning something in the process) to fuck your system up like that.

excitingburp ,

I'm 110% with you here. Debian have make it much more difficult to break your system, so it should be stack sponge proof going forward. I still wouldn't put it past Linus to fuck it up some other way (you know, maybe he'll curl HTML into bash instead of a script), and he'll still stand his ground and blame the world. And then later give one of his non-apology apologies.

I used to be a huge fan.

excitingburp ,

Nah, it's just Linus. I have endless time for people who want to learn. Linus doesn't want to learn, he wants to be right.

The language itself has no type enforcement, the type checking is implemented within nixpkgs. This might seem like pedantry, but it really matters for things like LSPs (text editor autocomplete). I think that's what scares some people off: it's like OG Minecraft, you need to have the wiki/search.nixos.org open while you are doing your editing.

That being said, the type checking goes much deeper than what the windows registry does - e.g. it won't allow you to enable conflicting services - like grub and systemd-boot - at the same time.

There's a difference between "can" and "want." For example, OP might have been planning to watch his home vids with your mom, but couldn't due to a rolling update.

All this, and while you're at it, Donate!

Ooh I like the idea of "no Internet." I do trust all of those devices (open source), but they could still be pwned.

excitingburp ,

It does. I have it enabled and tested. "Client Device Isolation." It's enabled per SSID.

I had to fix an issue on my wife's laptop. If you haven't used it in a while, do yourself a favor and try it. It's far worse than you think.

excitingburp ,

I used to agree with this, but hearing interviews with actual victims changed my mind. This only works in theory.

excitingburp ,

Indeed. UKIs are the way.

  1. Contrast. You can't use light to make something dark.
  2. In the HUDs that we do have (Hololens, Google Glass), you typically use something like DLP or waveguides. Both are pretty expensive.

There are fewer barriers with helmets because they are usually tinted.

I'm a fan of anything that keeps eyes more forwards/on the road.

Harassment is continuing once being told "no." There are a few frames missing from that comic for it to count as harassment.

excitingburp ,

This kind of gatekeeping is what scares people off.

Probably less resource intensive: https://conduit.rs/.

My phone autocorrects this wrong frequently, like it's life depends on it. One can assume GP typed the correct thing.

Stop wearing Vision Pro goggles while driving your Tesla: U.S. transportation officials, Calif. police::Videos, many of them stunts or jokes, of people wearing Apple’s new virtual reality headset while driving Teslas in Autopilot mode prompted officials to issue warnings.

Hololens is slightly more advanced. At least the last I saw it uses waveguides etc. to overlay the content over a transparent panel. Much like Google glasses, but way, way more advanced (and therefore justifiably expensive - last I saw, again, it was something like $15000). AVP is no different to a $300 Quest (plus internal cameras for iris and expression tracking and obnoxiously bad FOV) - it's 10x Apple tax.

Hololens is still alive and kicking btw, but it's exclusively enterprise.

In the US there is no notice period for firing in "at-will" states (which is all except Montana). It goes both directions though, there is no notice period when quitting. So chances are, if the OP is in the US, the boss was full of it.

Here's the state of the art VR: https://www.bigscreenvr.com/. You'd need that plus Valve base stations and controllers, so about $1500 total. It's miles ahead of anything anyone else is offering, especially Apple. You can't demo it to others though, it really does only work for the person that it's made for.

This is basically what I want done, composting and then burial under a redwood sapling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_composting

excitingburp ,

Yep. With the 1999 MP3 quality, arbitrary intro tunes, and everything. Such a pity, Play Music was extremely good.

excitingburp ,

Honestly Steam and Proton have solved like 90% or more of this issue

As a somewhat recent Windows expatriate (1.5 years I think?), I certainly recall more issues on Win11.

Turns out electronics and moisture don't go well together.

This has been a serious concern of mine. In the event that I prematurely die I have everything set up with automatic updates, so that hopefully my family can continue to use the self-hosted services without me.

Nextcloud will not stop shitting the bed. I'd give it a few months at most if I died, at which point my family would likely turn back to Google Drive.

I'm looking for a more reliable alternative, even if it's not as feature-rich.
