As someone who worked on a pre-systemd linux system with multiple NICs and needed them all configured automatically from an OS image based on where it was in the rack, I can’t stress enough how good deterministic interface names are.

Booting up a system and each time having different names for each NIC was a nightmare.

Frankly 90+% of what systemd has done is tremendously positive and makes linux a better operating system to use, both for sys admins and end users.

Or save yourself a character and just yay

Same as any OS, yes

It doesn’t tell you up front that it’s going to break

What utter BS. Stop spreading FUD from others. A simple search would find the source code https://github.com/snapcore/

Snaps are open source, including the store.

If you can’t tell the difference between a FLAC and an MP3 that’s fine. I can through a cheap pair of headphones and it’s enough that I re-ripped my CDs to FLAC from 320mp3 and they really shine now.

Upgraded my 2 EndeavourOS machines last week. Rebooted and all was fine.

Exactly that. And it looks just like any other web traffic.

Quite a few things will use their own DNS servers, not the one specified by the system or handed out over DHCP. I know many apps on the fire stick and Roku devices do this. So you have to intercept their traffic and redirect it to control it. If their using DoH then you can’t do that and your pihole is useless against them.

Best you can do is maintain a list of well known DoH servers and block them outright. But that’s a constantly moving losing battle.

Blame their DoH for killing FF deployment in the enterprise. Companies don’t like not being in charge of their DNS traffic. DoT is better from corporate POV as that can all be blocked or redirected based on the port, not so much DoH which uses the same port as normal web traffic.

That was the reason I lost my job as an A&E doctor

The ID badge is actually for his balls, not him.

What about people who want something up to date AND stable? I don’t want to be stuck on an ancient Debian base when I want up to date goodness for running newer packages. This is what Manjaro promises, but I think we all know the problems with what they’re trying to do. Fedora is probably the one distro that most closely fits imho, but I’ve never liked RPM distros too many bad memories from 25 years ago.

I saw my lecturers code. It was some of the worst code I’ve ever seen. If they’d written it in any company I’ve worked for over the last 20 years they’d have been sacked.

Most lecturers are more about the theory and computer science, not the practicalities of software engineering.
