if you want to know why anything in libreoffice is terrible, just look up its development history

Libreoffice is fine. I mean the UI sucks but so does Word's UI and it's fundamentally impossible to make a processor that's fully compatible with word without the UI sucking.

need to upgrade a server from ubuntu 14.04 to 20.04. apparently 14.04 is the last version before they switched to systemd so this could be "fun". anyone have any experience with that? pretty sure it's just running a bunch of apache virtual hosts and maybe an nginx reverse proxy, nothing terribly complexTankakern posted:seems like there's some drama at freenode yeah it's bizarre. the #osdev regulars and ops have set up a channel on libera with the same set of people and so far it's just served to be a good way for us to be able to keep two ongoing conversations separated into two irssi windows nobody is expecting freenode to collapse anytime soon or start selling chat logs to the PRC or whatever people are concerned about happening but it's nice to have a backup. personally I think one or the other is going to run out of money and whoever's solvent in six months is going to buy the other one

EDIT: also, you may need to configure networking with the new netplan stuff. Netplan is probably going to be your biggest headache, not systemd, most likely. sb hermit fucked around with this message at 02:57 on May 21, 2021 |

I think it’s just internet drama and freenode isn’t changing. Also sounds like IRC changed that prince guy’s life and he wants to pay it forward. I don’t really care about it but I did run an IRC server once. It was not as glamorous as I thought it would be.

the other thing that gets me is that they just had to do a clever domain hack and get a .chat domain for this. y'know, one of those gtlds that every spammer in the universe has beaten to death so hard that the default spam reputation score for newly registered domains is lower than mail.ru

pretty optimistic to guess nvidia or apple when i think it is other arm vendors who are desperate, so qualcomm or powervr.
