Stable is for servers, unstable for desktop. It has worked for 20 years. I actually installed two further Debian workstations recently after trying and failing with Kubuntu. So … no, I don’t have this problem.

No idea why busybox is needed. Is this is your emergency boot environment like initramfs? Sometimes it’s nice that Linux boots up and offers an environment to fix stuff while some modules are broken.

Why isn’t the abortion ban restricted to Christians only?

(Oops… wrong thread, I’ll leave it here)

I’ve been using FreeBSD for 20 years on my desktop. I’ve been also mainly using it because I was literally afraid of using Linux filesystems for data storage, when I learned how ZFS works.

Now with bcachefs the situation is different. It’s nice to see an advanced filesystem on Linux, even it’s still beta. I migrated my desktop to Linux, but will keep FreeBSD on my servers for a while, because it’s less hassle for me.

Actually I stopped liking the FreeBSD community. They made a lot of drama in the past years and I stopped being active there. I haven’t reported bugs anymore and fixed them privately or reported directly to upstream. I have many nice things running on servers, but I’m thinking about moving to Debian entirely.

You don’t want it until something fails. SystemD often doesn’t let you log in to fix it. It just shows a “infinitely bouncing asterisk” and hopes it will magically get better.

I had numerous situations where systemd didn’t let me abort a hanging service startup during boot or stop during shutdown.

So what do I do now, systemd? Wait till infinity??

That never happened while using other init systems. Because they simply fail properly (“sorry I did my best to stop this, I needed a SIGKILL finally”). Or simply let me log in: “sorry, some services failed to start and now it’s a huge mess, but at least you can log in and fix it.”.

You forgot: use as many dependencies as you need. For example, my init system does not use xz-utils.

The article is about positive discrimination. The so-called critics fear that there is room for additional fees for for enhanced services, even the FCC clearly says that services should not be degraded and treated equally.

When FCC says that they never banned all prioritisation every “critic” is in state of alert. They ignore the fact that internet needs kinds of regulations to work properly on technical level and conflate the statement with the one above. FCC probably allows technical measures to regulate important cases of traffic shaping and even blocking when it’s harmful for the service overall. This implies the fact that net neutrality can be guaranteed with these regulations.

Maybe they mean low latency internet connections. This might need some better hardware installations on the side of the provider. This is probably not about net neutrality.

No. This was Munich with its Limux project.

This part of Germany has supported open source software for a long time now. So this didn’t come unexpected or without a decade long preparation.

The most important part is not the product here. Unfortunately, the people who work with the software decide. It’s also a huge effort to educate all the people to use LibreOffice.

The nice thing is that MS Office moves entirely to the cloud and SaaS. Schleswig Holstein are the only one who will be prepared for the worst soon.

To keep the system simple and transparent.

Yep. Unreal Tournament was also great and Neverwinter Nights.

They found out that the biggest anti spike protein boost was at the 214th shot. So maybe all these weren’t that useless…

So… it’s a win for everyone?

Is there anything like Xmonad for Wayland?

I think default passwords are not even enough. There must be some additional fuckup unmentioned. Usually such devices don’t expose the management interface publicly, so a password wouldn’t be enough.

Yes, I use family link, too. The only annoying thing are general age restrictions. I am the parent and I need Element.IO for my kids that is rated 18. It doesn’t let me install it, even when it’s our private chat server. Fuck those people who make decisions for parents.

Yes, if you always need to tell your kid what to do, it’s all your job. Teach them to think like you think. It saves a lot of work and is less stressful.

Depends what you mean by “it worked”. Of course the kids play too much games and watch too much YouTube. But at least I have kids that are happy and I really have fun with.

It’s also easier to tell them what I want when I really need them to do something. What I want to avoid is to have kids that don’t have respect towards their parents.

I guess it’s also my attitude. I really like to come back from work and have fun with my kids and see them happy. I know many parents who rather try to get their kids to sleep as soon as possible to have time for themselves.

I decided to go in the other direction. My two boys got their phones at 7 and 8. I put parental controls on it and never allowed them install apps. Most annoying is the extensive use of Youtube so far, but on the other hand both of them are speaking English and have good grades. The usage is limited to 2 hours a day. And at 9pm the phone locks itself.

However, I talked to them about social media and blocked Whatsapp, Instagram etc. I still need to talk more to them of course, because it’s a risk for adults, too. They are individuals and I respect that they need to have fun after school. And I want them not to be “cool” online, but generally be happy with their lifes.
