you can't be an enterprise solution without useless poo poo that lets your clueless boss click on things in an unwieldy GUI, op

does redhat even ship with a console/ssh capable installer yet? afaik they still use that minimal GTK screen, and if you want to customize anything at all beyond basic poo poo like partitioning and root password, you need to make your own iso with your own anaconda config lmao

you can do that from a usb drive iirc but it's been a while since i had to janitor that stuff

I would change all line endings to \n\r just to gently caress with everyone. :colbert:

it's kind of wild that Windows ended up with CRLF line endings since itself and DOS and its ancestors before that even never had support for output to a teletype afaik.

why not write a little program in rust or something to do everything? heck even python (possibly with pypy) should be faster

heads up if you're keeping your music collection in /var/tmp

https://tracker.debian.org/news/1533060/accepted-systemd-256rc3-3-source-into-unstable/
code:
   * Cleanup /var/tmp/ and /tmp/ on a timer by default. Remove the
     downstream patch and restore the upstream behaviour set by the
     tmpfiles.d which is to cleanup /var/tmp/ once a month and /tmp/ once
     every 10 days. Can be overridden via: touch /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf
     (Closes: #966621)
   * Make /tmp/ a tmpfs by default. Restore the upstream default and make
     /tmp/ a tmpfs. Can be overridden with: touch
     /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount or: systemctl mask tmp.mount

that's a very Arch thing to do

HEIF is a container format like AVI. HEIC is a HEIF container with a HEVC image in it. I think it's using the same encoding/codec that h.265 uses for key frames. So they are probably leaning on the phone's h.265 encoding hardware to compress the HEIF still images (just guessing here).

e: also when you rotate/crop/etc the pic, those operations are stored as metadata. Libheif needs to 'play back' those edits when decoding the image for console-jpeg.

oh right I remember reading something about in some casea cropped images actually still containing the original. oops

all to play Descent, Epic Pinball and Monkey Island 2.

Recompiling doesn't take that long relatively speaking, and if you cannot trivially recompile the world, then that is your main problem (not a troll, this really ought not to be a challenge unless you need security patches available within hours after discovery).

NixOS Woke Invasion
The Woke invasion of the NixOS community can be traced back to as early as April 2021 (see: discourse.nixos.org, github.com). It appears to have reached its zenith in April 2024 when the woke moderation team’s mischiefs reached the public eye.

Timeline
Notable events since Nov, 2023:

Date Event
2023-11-14 Author gets banned for ideological reasons
2024-01-28 Witch-hunt by NixOS moderator Martin Weinelt (hexa) to get the entire NixOS Asia domain, as well as Srid, banned from the Lobste.rs site
2024-02-12 Report of the moderators perma-banning David Arnold
2024-03-10 Continued criticism of the mod team by community members; a NixOS moderator “piegamesde” publicly accuses Srid of being “transphobic”
2024-03-20 Continued criticism; Jonas Chevalier (zimbatm) publicly lies about Srid; then threatened and successfully shadow-banned the people raising criticism

Actually I don't quite get it. Isn't "woke" about being aware of systems of oppression? Is Europe more or less woke? I don't know how to pick sides here.

Woke is when you aren't allowed to say racist or homo-/transphobic things anymore by the evil leftist cancel mob.
