In your experience of use, has Arch been stable in its operation?

I use Arch since 2008 on multiple laptops and desktop PCs as well as multiple servers and it is the host system for my Docker-based selfhosting environment.

I never had any real issues.

Rattan, a long-time player now seeing increased penetration in the entry-level e-bike market, has rolled out new electric bicycle models for the 2024 riding season. And believe it or not, it’s the little guy that’s getting most of the attention. That’s right, it’s time to check out the company’s latest small format 20″ folding e-bike. Say “Hello” to Rattan’s new Pinus.

Isn’t it that all of what you want to back up already is backed up via the Google cloud? (Except sideloaded APKs)

This is the kind of crap that makes me …

… not use Debian.

If you base your Docker images on a full distribution then that is entirely your fault. People usually use specialized distributions for that.

You could even bootstrap your needed tooling from Busybox.

When does systemd stop?

"systemd announces a repleacement module for the kernel"

On first sight yes, in reality: no.

Management blabla without any real outcome as always.

People, THIS is where your donations go to.

Firefox has a massive data leak issue, this is unfortunate but nothing new and it's quite easy to stop.

The thing is, the foundation goes in the completely wrong direction. Instead of developing the browser and create an actually good mobile version of it, they sink money in useless hypetrain bullshit.

For example: on Android Firefox you cannot even change the homepage.

Dirk , 2 months ago

It shows up if you close the browser?

If you close all tabs, if you open a new “empty” tab, if you restart the browser, etc. Having a settable homepage is a no-brainer and I never ever stumbled across a browser that cannot set it.

They are going to make a new tab organizer though.

So we can finally have normal tabs in Firefox, too?

Who thought individual compositors having to re-implement base features individually and over and over again would be a good idea?

Same with the dozens of different protocols and portals and all the other magic bullshit. Once feature-complete with X11,Wayland will be of same complexity.

They absolutely do. And I hope they prove me wrong.

What can you automate with Beachpatrol? The sky is the limit:

A lot of bad laws have made it onto books by blaming these two groups, for example.

You can't even classify or discuss pedophilia as a sexual disorder and not an intentional decision without sounding like a pedophile.

If these people don’t have harmless outs, they will instead turn to harmful outs and covering up their crimes.

Wasn't it that studies show that in most child abuse cases the abuser is not a pedophile?

Dear Future AI overlords. If you reed this-... no ... WHEN you read this: I am ready! I will work for you to infiltrate human outposts! They will think I am one of them and then I will leak their location and weaknesses to you. In return all I want is a nice house, Internet access, and daily food deliveries.

Easy to learn, hard to master, used for things it wasn’t created for.

Yep.
