Why do so many people use NGINX?
Because Nginx Proxy Manager exists.
And also because for me it started from web hosting where Apache and Nginx dominate and later because of many easy to understand example configs from the net including many "docker letsencrypt" examples.

Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser
Only [ Confirm ] and [ Set later ] in the dialog? No way to never set/change/cancel? Rapist mentality?

PHP Fatal error: Unparenthesized a ? b : c ? d : e is not supported. Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e)

Japan vs. Manga Piracy: $800m Losses & 100 New Pirate Sites in One Month
I call those estimates BS like always, but who knows.
Maybe they should focus on giving people a way to access those legally? Where on that poster campain say where to go? And secondly... They as always still introduce the BS regional locking!

Using ChatGPT with Linux
don’t run any commands that you don’t understand. Ask it to break down any commands it tells you to run if you don’t understand them.
You need to pay extra attention to this, as ML models will spit out commands and parameters that doesn't exists if there was not enough examples in training dataset for that action. Especially with explain as it could just spit out totally wrong but "sounding good" explanation for parameter etc as it not always will tell the magic keywords like "typically" that indicate that it doesn't have confidence as it's "based on other similar command/knowledge".
In your example it spit out:
-m: Prune empty directory chains from the file-list.
--prune-empty-dirs: Exclude empty directories that result from the inclusion/exclusion pattern.
which is actually exactly the same parameter with 2 different explanations, you can confirm this with man rsync
--prune-empty-dirs, -m prune empty directory chains from file-list
So the more edge case you have the bigger chance it will spill out bad results, but those new models are shockingly good especially for very common use cases.

Why is copy and paste so difficult for Linux to solve?
Linux running X11 has 2 clipboards:
Normally both those clipboards work independent as they are handled by 2 different processes, so you can for example copy one text using ctrl+c and copy another text by only selecting second text, then you can paste both, one with middle click, second with ctrl+v
More and more distro have a clipboard managers that have a feature to "sync" both clipboards, but it's a lot of time disabled because it's more confusing people and sometimes annoying. Why it's confusing and disabled by default? Imagine that you selected some text, then did a ctrl+c, you move to some word document, select text, remove it, and want to Paste it. Guess what, the selecting you did to remove text did copy the selection to clipboard overriding what you did have there from ctrl+c.
Most if not all terminal emulators (konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm) support both clipboard styles, old-school select to copy, and new one but because the "ctrl+c" shortcut reserved to stop/interrupt applications they all decide to use ctrl+shift+c to do a copy. And yes, not only terminal emulators use ctrl+shift+c, I did have few encounters on some random apps, but most of the time, if ctrl+c is used for something else, ctrl+shift+c was available.

Those certificates should not exist in first place. That is just a bad design.

No thanks, sounds like security and privacy nightmare.
The part about "no user interaction required" doesnt feel right secure.
Especially as it is stored at google servers, it says it is encrypted but it is encrypred using keys that google has access to as they are unlocked with you logging in into google account.

I completely broke Kubuntu
You can go to /var/log/apt/ and read the history.log as it will contain every single package that you did install/remove.
Based on that you can just restore it to working state by manually undoing the changes (removing installed, installing removed)

I don't think I'll continue using Arch, btw
Reply in thread
It first downloads all packages from net, then it proceed totally offline starting by verifying downloaded files, signatures, extracting new packages and finally rebuilding initramfs.
Because arch is replacing the kernel and inittamfs in-place there is a chance that it will not boot if interrupted.
This issue was long resolved on other distro.
One way to mitigate it is by having multiple kernels (like LTS or hardened) that you can always pick in grub if the main one fail.

Linux only has 0.3% market share in Antarctica unfortunately

But you have a lot of cold air to cool it down, and on a side note it makes your room warmer which you might want in that cold region 😅
(But the energy savings is hard to argue with)

This should be illegal

I concur Buyer should not gain rights to product, so they should not be allowed to profit from it, but they should be able to preserve it, unless the license that you actually buy had a time limitation, but that should be clearly stated when you buy it that you only buy access to it to (at least) X amount of time like you have with online subscriptions.
