Would it be wrong to hope they manage to commit some gross act of mutual destruction, and that the outcome would be that I never have to deal with Wordpress ever again?

I had a moment of actual laughter.

I was expecting a kernel issue handling networking connections or SSH or who the fuck knows but... cups?

Printers, they ruin everything.

Yeah I was more referring to huge outliers, like the 4? 6? Tb seagates they had a few years ago that were like 25% Afr.

So that apk strikes me as probably malware, and who the hell would trust some spamming jackass with their personal data even if it isn't?

nothing better you can spend $5 than a shitty jpeg?

Two words: Star Citizen.

You talking modern stuff, or are we talking 90s Tiger Electronics games here?

Did we ever stop doing this?

If there's two things Linux users will argue about it's how your system inits itself, and text editors.

They did, and it was. Coined the term 'glassholes'

And Snapchat tried it with their uh, whatever the hell they called it and pretty much ended the same way.

Basically, it's an easy way to put 'giant dipshit' on your forehead and make people avoid you.

Two twitter bots: One won't stop talking about crypto, the other won't stop telling you pussy is in bio.

Been wanting to play with a meshtastic radio and the TC2-BBS stuff, but the official site was uh, not the most clear as to what the hell I actually wanted/needed.

This certainly clarifies that, at least, so thanks!

Ah yes, a16z.

I'm not saying they're the stupidest fucks in this solar system, but I'm also very much not saying that either.

Docker is probably the simplest way to get a working deployment, since there's a lot of moving pieces in a Nextcloud install.

Though, it's not going to automatically update itself unless you've made a poor choice for a production environment configuration, which sounds like what happened here.

(Even using a latest tag isn't really a problem until/unless you re-pull the image to do the upgrade. And/or have configured something to automatically update your shit, but again, don't do that in production.)

Nextcloud is also annoying in that updating the base won't pull all the apps to a current version, so you have to know what's going to break before you update the base so you can then update the apps as needed. Which, again, can't just be left up to automatic updates.

The really fun ones were the Deer PSUs.

They existed in one of two conditions:

1. Destroyed your entire computer, and currently on fire
2. About to destroy your entire computer, and maybe on fire

Nicer ones come with longer warranty

Nicer ones also come from companies with actual customer support that will replace your PSU if it fails in that warranty period, too.

Be Quiet is good, Seasonic is good and uh, yeah. Buy one of those.

AMD stayed with AM4 for a long time

You're not wrong, but I also wouldn't explicitly buy AM5 expecting anywhere near the same duration of new CPU support.

They haven't announced where Zen 6 CPUs will land socket-wise, and the most sane thing to do is just assume it'll be a new socket since their "four years" of socket support is Zen4+Zen5, which is what we've already gotten.

If it were SSH though, wouldn't that ALSO include a wider blast radius than just Linux systems?

Like OpenSSH is used all over the damn place, unless I guess there's something specific about the issue that limits it to Linux hosts for some reason?

I'd like to second the 'manufacturer doesn't matter, all drives are going to fail' line, but specific models from manufacturers will have a much higher failure rate than others.

Backblaze, for example, publishes quarterly(ish?) stats showing the drives with the highest failure rates in terms of percentages, so you can kind of get a good view on if there's a specific drive model you should maybe avoid.

Or just buy an actual enterprise drive, avoid SMR, and have backups is also a sane approach.

Their conclusion that companies must be the ones to fund more development is uh, unlikely to be the solution.

The days where you're going to have a corporation fund anything out of the goodness of their hearts is long gone, if it ever really existed in the first place.

They won't even make sure that critical bits of software their business relies on are being maintained, never mind being altruistic money fairies to anyone else.

The future, honestly, is going to be a combination of government funding (because it's in their - and our - interest to not be beholden to one or another monopolist), and user funding. How many people do you know that use some open source software that have donated either money OR time to the project they use?

Why are you assuming a desktop user has a fast connection?

There's still millions of people on slow ADSL/DSL connections, satellite, fixed wireless, and so on.

Don't use 20mb images when 100kb ones will suffice, good lord.
