Likewise when theres a company meeting which clearly and simply lays something out and people have questions.

Example: “We are switching payroll providers, This in no way impacts you as all direct deposits have been migrated. You might see a new note on the deposits from the new payroll company.” A bunch of hands go up… Its always the same people

How could you possibly have a question?!

https://github.com/johang/btfs btfs lets you straight up mount a torrent as a directory and stream it. Most torrent clients also have an option to download parts in order so you can stream.

lol sorry I broke your mental regex filter

Yeah one of these views is more valid than the other:

“I got an error message! It says, Please right click the application and select ‘Run As Administrator…’ What does it mean?! What do I do!!! Why are these instructions so confusing?!”

“I got an error on the page! It says ‘Password incorrect’ What does that mean? How do I fix it?” “Have you tried using the correct password?”

I think that installing new versions often means that particular services need to be restarted. Rather than implement logic to restart relevant services, it probably just says “fuck it, reboot”.

you should only need to reboot when updating the kernel. Why are you rebooting? Is it because the system is unresponsive?

CPU brand (as in AMD/Intel) makes little if any difference in linux, stark contrast to Nvidia/AMD GPU. There was a period of time where some of the intel CPU “efficiency cores” were not properly scheduled in the kernel but I think that’s a lot better now as long as you use a relatively new kernel. There are different power/frequency management flags you can pass to the boot params based on intel/amd but that probably makes more of a difference if you’re on battery: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ryzen

I think there used to be some limitation in using resizeable BAR with an intel CPU and AMD GPU, but that hasn’t been an issue for a while.

I have a 5950x with a 6900xt in my linux box and have had no complaints.

gdm works pretty well with selecting and jumping to all kinds of different DEs. It shouldn’t really be a problem. The only thing I might watch out for is KDE/gnome for example can install a TON of dependencies that you might not necessarily want in both. You can wind up with a lot of duplicate programs. and your home directory will be full of all kinds of config files.

But you can run hyprland, i3, xfce, awesome, etc alongside each other without too much hassle.

I have had the same arch linux install for the past 13 years and have been on a ton of different DEs in that time including times when I switched back and forth between a few concurrently installed. It never caused any issues for me other than trying to clean up all the K programs that had been installed, and cleaning up my home dir.

alacritty

Questions like that are likely to start a war

Wayland first, but have both installed so you can fall back to X11 if you need to. If you do have to go back check wayland again after every few updates. X is dying a long-needed death. It started off has a hack decades ago and has just been held together with duct tape ever since. There are some not so great things in wayland with some apps, sometimes issues with context menus or screen recording for example, but they’re getting fixed over time.

I do kind of miss x forwarding over SSH. It was really convenient, there might be something for wayland but I haven’t looked for a while.

have you… seen the state of IT and technology in general in the government? I mean actually that explains a lot.

oh god i felt this one. Devs too busy, incompetent or just plain lazy to figure out why their code is so slow, so just have ops throw more CPU and memory at it to brute force performance. Then ops gets to try to explain to management why we are spending $500k per month to AWS to support 50 concurrent users.

not entirely. It makes it easy to filter out the kind of applicants that would put that on their resume. Very useful for hiring managers. Saves lots of time.

These textbooks are trash and written by morons. When I was in college one of the required books said very clearly that sleep and hibernate are exactly the same thing. It said that both suspended to RAM and hibernate was just some lower power version of sleep. It was even a question on an exam that I got wrong for some reason. I argued with the professor about it and proved to him thats not the case by taking one of the lab computers, hibernating it, physically taking the ram out and swapping it with another computer and resuming into the same state on power on. He said “Well thats what it says in the textbook so I have to mark it wrong”

It really highlights that there are probably a lot of other inaccuracies that I didn’t notice. This is the standard of education nowadays.

Not exactly what you’ve asked for but you can download something like lidarr and plug it into your spotify recommendations and let it go. you’ll wind up with a huge library of everything you like to listen to.

We definitely have a DR plan at work that includes steps that must be performed at least one hour prior to the disaster occurring. Its quite a joke.

i chuckled at the thought of ‘git poop’ being a command. I’m going to alias that to something.

fuck it. rm -rf repository; git clone repository

Been using git since almost as long as its been around, still can’t be bothered to learn to how to fix conflicts.

It would more than likely be a stream of different colored bars representing bits or something, you would need a LOT of video to store any reasonable amount of data and have it get through youtube’s compression.
