Oh so many fun adventures, too much to count… But a few nice ones:

• HDD died, so ran a desktop system over network from a NAS (nfs) without HDD… for months.
• Rebuilding a corrupted system (any bit advanced tools wouldn’t start anymore, like apt).
• Custom bootable live cd based on Linux From Scratch (around 2002).
• Anything related to Kerberos and NFS4.
• Replacing syscalls to run software from a ramdrive that would otherwise not work.
• Recently using debootstrap to install Kubuntu with a ZFS root, which went surprisingly smooth and pretty easy.

I love Linux for all these insane possibilities.

Although the display was grating, Trump fell for it hook, line and sinker. Having seen Rutte in his previous role as prime-minister before this was all an act just to butter him up.

Github. The / key is usually a shortcut in Firefox (and many other software) for search. But they hijacked it to their search-field that requires you to be logged in anyway. So you can only use ctrl+f on their site.

For websearch I’ve switched to Kagi and it does exactly what I need, nothing more, nothing less.

Hosting a Gitlab for work and for my private projects I agree. The CI/CD is excellent and I really like the way they handle issues and merge-requests. Gitlab is great but quite a beast, so throw some good CPU and fast storage at it.

Don’t trust a word that idiot sais. Pete Hoekstra is a lying piece of shit.

It’s a sad state of affairs. I would pay for youtube in a heartbeat if it wasn’t connected to the biggest spyware company in the world. But now, even while paying you still get ads and they still track you. The people working at Alphabet are bad and should feel bad.

Yeah, the action part is the least interesting, especially…

But I really like the soundtrack of the last scene and the credits after that.

Thats pretty cool. Movies with such wide distribution are often at least interesting… Not per se good though.

Ha fair. Although trailers ruined movies for me so I have stopped watching them at all.

Maybe not really love love but quite enjoyed:

• Postal 4.5/10

The whole movie is bad and offensive, just like the games it is based on. And that makes it a nice fun adventure. It does really help if you’ve played the games though. I would give it a 6/10.

It is a nice look into the switch from a perspective of a windows user. But since he is experimenting there is a also a lot of bad choices or wrong information.

He gripes about things not going smoothly while replacing his whole desktop environment (when was the last time you replaced your explorer.exe?).

And clamping to old ways of doing things. Which is understandable but would go a lot better with a little bit of guidance. Why force Chrome while Firefox was probably pre-installed or Chromium also works. Using Filezilla while Dolphin can probably do it in an integrated way. Using Notepad++ while Kate probably covers most of his use-cases.

This doesn’t invalidate his experiences but it does indicate a resistance to switch.

There is some valid criticisms as well though. The docking station that bugs out or KDE Connect that is confused. We can improve those things, but hardly force Logitech to bring their (horrible) software suite to Linux.

Maybe he should give it another few weeks to actually feel that while his old ways might not transfer over 1:1 the new ways give him a lot more power.

The asshole also keeps waving his Dutch ancestry around. But he left as a small child and can’t even speak the language. After the lies no Dutchman wants anything to do with this lying piece of shit.

When I learned that you could solve it using some standard moves the magic was completely gone.

Hmm, the years are a bit faded but first install of Redhat in 1996-7 somewhere as a short experiment, then Slackware, SuSE, LFS, Gentoo, and since then lazy with Kubuntu… Might switch again soon with the Snap fiasco.

The BOFH and his PFY are still helping their users…

When traveling I use GPSLogger and automatically upload the tracks to a private Nextcloud (but it supports more upload options). The map is shared with friends and family.

You can use OSMAnd to visualize your tracks.

Works pretty well so far… This is all Android based ofcourse.

Took 'em long enough…

As I mentioned in another comment it plays quite well. At least with the Steam Index that I use. Most games seem to work out of the box. One thing that isn’t currently implemented is BT communication with the lighthouses which is a bit annoying but there are other apps and tools to workaround that.
