I still donate to … uBlock

From https://ublockorigin.com/:

The uBlock Origin project still specifically refuses donations at this time

Who are you giving money to?

Ridiculous. This line is clearly gay.

Marrying Linux nerds never goes wrong

If reacting to something always makes it more likely to occur, you have just made reacting to things Elon Musk says more likely to occur.

Contrary to the meme, it’s probably very quiet, if they keep the RPMs low and the fans are arranged correctly

Want to exchange information in json? plaintext? binary data? Sockets can do it.

This is exactly why you need something like dbus. If you just have a socket, you know nothing about how the data is structured, what the communication protocol is, etc. dbus defines all this.

Let’s see… the upvote arrow is off, so I turn it on, and just walk away!

very old

Obviously it’s subjective but Debian doesn’t use ancient software. For instance Bookworm has Python 3.11; the current Python is 3.12. Some software updates slowly enough that you end up with the latest version. I seem to recall zsh being up to date. But yeah, make sure you’re using the correct version when looking up docs.

I’d be surprised to find out there was one filesystem that consistently did better than others in gaming performance. ext4 is a fine choice, though.

Yes, famously men have had very few demands of women throughout history.

DSL

What is this? I’m going to be lazy and not search for it because DSL already has multiple meanings which overlap with Linux

Yeah, if it’s unstable, they’re probably holding it wrong

Yeah, that should work. ldd "$(command -v "$cmd")" will list the dynamic dependencies for $cmd, so you can find those (probably) in /lib and /usr/lib; I’m not familiar enough with the dynamic library loading process to give you the specifics. I would put the binaries in /usr/local/bin and the libraries in /usr/local/lib; but you could also modify path variables to point to the usb drive. Ideally you could find statically linked versions somewhere, so you don’t have to mess with the libraries.

Alternatively, most package managers have commands to download packages; then you can copy the package cache over to the new machine and install them that way. If the commands are common enough, you could download one of the bigger install media and add its package repo to your machine. These of course are distribution specific processes.

Finally, you could get a cheap USB ethernet adapter and connect to the internet that way. On newegg most of these products will have at least one review saying whether they work on linux.

I’ve been getting ads like these for years on my ubuntu server.

This is on a machine running 20.04. Never bothered me. All my other machines are Debian now, and at some point I’ll switch that one too.

That’s not enough proof. You have to ask him if he’d stop an in progress genocide and if he says no, you’re good.

Amazing that this is getting downvoted. This is just the plain truth of the situation.

Dammit

I mean even C++11 is a significantly different creature from OG C++. C++23 will have monadic optionals; maybe a future release will have generalized monads.

Gotta admit, I’m impressed. You’ve actually made me want to defend the anti-systemd crowd. Just take the W, you don’t have to rub it in.

I’m curious if there’s any quantitative evidence to show this.
