I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH UBUNTU 24.04 😡

Reply in thread

Ubuntu is a fork of unstable Debian packages

And where do you think debian stable packages come from exactly ?...

it's basicaly the exact same thing. In both case :

  • At some point freeze unstable (snapshot unstable in case of ubuntu),
  • fix bugs found in the frozen set of packages,
  • release as stable.

Windows vs Linux

Holly shit, after looking things up it's even worse than I thought...

Playing Valorant will need to enable TPM 2.0 and secure boot under windows 11 OS, you have to check that your motherboard is support TPM 2.0 system. (NOTE: If your system unable to support TPM2. 0, the only way that you can play Valorant is change your windows to older version as windows 10.)

Damn, Riot effectively turning PC into console...

I put my self hosted instance down on purpose and tried to access my phone's app. It works and I can export to csv or json from there.

The likelihood of my phone & NAS breaking down at the same time seems rather thin.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

It doesn't work with root disabled.

The way to fix this is to boot in bash recovery where you land a root shell. From there you can hopefully apt install sudo if deb file is still in cache. If not, you have to make network function without systemd for apt install to work. Or, you can get sudo deb file and all missing dependencies from usb stick and apt install them from fs. Or just enable root, give it a password and reboot so you can su - and apt install sudo

Have you ever eard of "fecal microbiota transplant" ? Because that's basically eating shit.

No rational person would accept $100 to eat feces.

Well, actually, big pharma will make you pay for it, which is even better :)

I guess pilot is some kind of a special thing. They really need to speak english and require some minimal level. They will learn the basic they need for the job. Also, they get constant exposure to English, which help maintain and improve it.

IT people, that's a different story. I know "many" that don't speak english or have such basic knowledge that they understand something different than what is actually said or written. Many job in IT will not require english, mostly a bonus. Take microsoft docs for instance, their website auto-translate to french. And even when needed, read/written is often enough. It's also easier because we mostly learn to read & write english in schools and both language have common/similar words. Tools like google translate are also a blessing. Those 2 categories are in the upper class and I don't really think they represent even 5% of the french people :)

The real pain point is the accent. Because we mostly learn through text (reading/writing), many will fail to identify the word pronounced because it doesn't match how a french would read/pronounce it out loud despite knowing the word. Same goes the other way, there were a few times when someone had a hard time understanding me because I failed to pronounce a word properly : brother vs browser. Any french would read out loud those two the exact same way.

And about your point on social media I cannot say. I grew up at a time when they didn't existed, and I don't have youngsters around me to see their exposure to english and how they deal with it.

Btrfs RAID5/6... anyone here every tried it?

It depends on what you call "real" data.

I find it good enough for home NAS that serve as jellyfin instance and store a hell lot of stuff. Things I would rather keep, but anything really critical is stored on several computers.

Works well so far (about 4 or 5 years already now) with raid5 for data but raid1 for metadata.
