People generally recommend Debian-based distributions because they tend to be more popular, have more applications designed first and foremost to work on them, and tend to have the most community support because they are more popular.

Great write-up! The biggest bugs always end up being the “simplest”/one-line things lol

Sure but it still requires trusting them when they pinky promise they won’t send any recall data. Fuck them tbh. It just makes me feel even more right about my decision to switch to Linux years ago.

Yeah I use .com for my seedbox.

If you save it on your computer instead of on their servers, how could they possibly be expected to analyze your data? Come on now, be reasonable!

Until you step on the owners dog.

Yep, we are what make these sites important.

That’s why I’m always interested in self-hosting. I have my own Plex and Jellyfin seedbox server for the private trackers I’m in, with a VPS hosting an OpenVPN to make it look like I’m in a different country, just to make it that much safer. It works damn well.

The scary thing is some people actually believe this, and NIH syndrome is unfortunately all too real lol

This is also what I’d like to know, and I think the answer is no. I want to have NFS not wait indefinitely to reconnect, but when I reconnect and try going to the NFS share, have it auto-reconnect.

edit: This seemed to work for me, without waiting indefinitely, and with automatic reconnecting, as a command (since I don’t think bg is an fstab option, only a mount command option): sudo mount -o soft,timeo=10,bg serveripaddress:/server/path /client/path/

Linux users are often very passionate about the software they put on their computers, so they tend to argue about it. I think the customization and choices scares off a lot of beginners, I think the main reason is lack of compatibility with Windows software out of the box. People generally want to use software they are used to.

Everyone I know switched to IntelliJ though I’d still use Eclipse if IntelliJ didn’t exist tbh. IntelliJ is just too good.

True, the real danger is using git reset with the --hard flag when you haven’t committed your changes lol

Except if there was only one zone of time that would be hell to program too because then you would need to check for different times of day for different locations. I think programming is just difficult lol

I ran the detection script, that’s why I claim that apparently my systems were not vulnerable.

Yep, I consider it a failure of the build/dev pipeline.

I had a “Save As” issue in Firefox snap where it just wouldn’t be able to save pages, but since upgrading to either Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 (can’t remember which version fixed it), that problem has gone away entirely.

Non-technical project managers are the worst lol

Interesting to hear and it wouldn’t surprise me either tbh. At least none of my systems were vulnerable apparently, which is good because I am running the latest Ubuntu LTS and latest Proxmox - if those were affected then wow this would have affected so many more people.

I think it can depend on how and why you’re being pushy too. I’ve definitely had to have my fair share of passionate conversations and strongly advocating (yes, you could say pushing) for what I believe is best for the direction of a project with my fellow maintainers, especially when it comes to important things (like how to handle specific security issues etc since there’s not always one way of handling it). Generally speaking though you’re right.
