  • Windows hss supported slashes in both directions for a very long time. I almost exclusively use forward slashes to reduce mental load when switching between OSes.

  • Software people, how do you do releases?

  • If you use feature flags, don't forget to remove them after some grace period. Almost everything bad about feature flags that you can read online is related to long-lived feature flags and all the dead code and complexity involved. Adding a feature flags without a commitment and plan to remove them (the flag, not the feature), is asking for trouble down the line.

  • It depends. Some hardware degrades gracefully while my current desktop system won't even boot and throws error codes on an empty battery. It took me hours to figure out what was wrong the first time it happened.

  • Coffee seems to be a self enforcing meme at this point. It's not unhealthy enough to have suffered the same fate as cigarettes. Which had pretty much the same jokes not too long ago.

  • It's the same argument. Getting a reasonable amount of charging is possible in 15 minutes. But not everyone has immediate access to fast charging stations. If everyone could always make a deliberate decision whether to go easy on the battery and save money or having to be places, EVs may look much more appealing to a lot of people.

  • Yeah, it's the same for me. The content is awesome but requires a lot of concentration.

  • [Solved] Had a power outage while updating my fedora system, and now dnf has file conflicts. Is it recoverable?

    Jump

  • As you mentioned, with Fedora the best alternatives are immutable spins. Updating means downloading a new base image, applying overlays and additional installations to it and on the next reboot you start from that image. You can configure it to keep as many previous versions as you need and boot into those directly on startup. Since you never change your current image once it's built, you can't break a known good system. You can only ever break your next version and in that case, just boot the previous.

    I've created an Ansible playbook that configures a vanilla Kinoite the way I want it. No need to back up the system if I can recreate it with less than a megabyte of text files. Secrets are in my password vault, personal files are in my personal cloud and get synced to and from the laptop continuously. I would never go back to backing up system files as opposed to recreating it with a playbook. That seems so wasteful in hindsight.

  • Flatpak with Fedora 39 must have come a long way. Almost every tutorial with workarounds or discussion of broken features you can find online is now obsolete. It just works out of the box, especially under KDE. Mostly. That makes searching for actual issues extremely hard because I find myself chasing down paths of issues that have long been resolved.

  • What are some things that Linux can't do, but Windows can?

    Jump

  • Fresh and most up to date kinoite installation last week, based on fedora 39. The problem is not Linux, it's proprietary codecs and Firefox' hesitation to enable hardware decoding on Linux by default. It's not difficult to get it to work but it simply does not work out of the box.

    Jump

  • Linux, browsers, and hardware accelerated videos on the web don't go along well out of the box. Which is a total shame.

  • Stalwart v0.5.0

  • Weird, I've never had problems over the past 15 years or so and I've been using VPS servers exclusively. Maybe my providers were reputable enough.

    I realize my evidence is only anecdotal, but that's why I started "in my experience". Also, common blacklists are checked by the services I mentioned.

  • I'm returning my Lenovo laptop that gave me tons of compatibility issues and getting this Dell XPS 13 instead. Thoughts?

    Jump

  • The Lenovo business models (ThinkPad series) are amazing value. My 11 year old laptop is still going strong.

    Just stay far away from any Lenovo non-business models.

  • Stalwart v0.5.0

  • In my experience, this is nothing more than an urban legend at this point. There are great standards, like DMARC, DKIM, SPF, proper reverse DNS and more, that are much more reliable and are actually used by major mail servers. Pick a free service that scans the publicly visible parts of your email server and one that accepts an email that you send to them and generates a report. Make sure all checks are green. After an initial day of two of getting it right, I've never had trouble with any provider accepting mail and the ongoing maintenance is very low.

    Milage may vary with an unknown domain and large email volumes or suspicious contents, though.

  • Do tell about your experience afterwards. I'm considering it, myself.

  • "If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

  • The Tesla truck is already there and just needs to be built at scale.

    Full self driving has been fully achieved in 2017 and will reach end consumers next year (as claimed by Tesla every single year since then).

    It is desirable that SpaceX rockets fail hard instead of succeeding in their missions.

    Musk has truly mastered this principle and only now are people getting impatient. Most investors still regard him as too big to fail. Either Elon will be able to present sufficient success in the next few years or that bubble will burst very violently. He has almost used up the good will he has built up over years (earned our not).

  • Retain source IP when proxying through VPS

  • Exactly this. This procedure is so common that you need to take care in situations where you don't want the headers, as some tools set them per default.

  • I just finished DS9, and I'm sad to know that we'll never get anything like it again

  • I didn't know about that. I'm one of today's 10000 🙂
