  • Yum, I usually do this with tofu, maybe some curry as well.

    Did you use eggs?

  • ‘Elemental’ was written off as a box-office flop. Then it sprouted legs

  • Yeah, initially I didn't plan on going, but my sister took her kids and really enjoyed it... she said it reminded her of her time living in New York's Chinatown.

    I subsequently took my family and we all really liked it too. It's not groundbreaking or world changing, but it was a solid and enjoyable film. It is definitely an immigrant story and about how to live up to the expectations of those who sacrificed so much for you, while also finding your own way and living on your own terms, which deeply resonated with me.

  • GNOME Devs Are Working on a New Window Management System

  • I experienced the same thing (had previously uninstalled libreoffice, but it came back after the update). I didn't get snapd back fortunately (though I do use Firefox packaged by Pop).

    Part of the change is that Pop!_OS is moving away from ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard meta packages and towards their own metapackages as shown in this this recent commit.

    After the update, I simply uninstalled libreoffice... hopefully it doesn't return in the next update :]

  • Incredibly nostalgic... I recognized some of the music videos (and shows!) and immediately felt old. :|

  • On the future of free long term support for Linux distributions

  • According to Debian Releases

    Debian announces its new stable release on a regular basis. Users can expect 3 years of full support for each release and 2 years of extra LTS support.

    So about 5 years, though it is not clear how well this works in practice (how much is actually updated and how well supported).

    From the Debian Wiki - LTS:

    Companies using Debian who benefit from this project are encouraged to either help directly or contribute financially. The number of properly supported packages depends directly on the level of support that the LTS team receives.

    I think this is sort of what the article is pointing towards... long-term support really depends on commercial support, as volunteers are more likely to work on the current or more recent thing than go back and backport or update older things. If corporate funding dries up (which it appears to be doing), then while volunteers will still contribute some to long-term linux distributions, it won't be at the same level it currently is with commercial support.

  • Any way to make Ubuntu ignore failed drive mount?

  • You can try booting into Rescue Mode (instead of getting into Emergency Mode):

    https://ostechnix.com/how-to-boot-into-rescue-mode-or-emergency-mode-in-ubuntu-18-04/

    That said, once in Emergency Mode, it may be possible to mount the disk with the root partition and then continue the boot sequence as noted in the article above (simply exit the emergency shell).

    Hopefully that will get the machine booted and you can SSH. Otherwise, you can at least examine the machine in Emergency Mode and perhaps change the /etc/fstab file on the root partition to ignore the partitions from the failed hard drive.
