Fair enough - not that then.

Quick check: Try “cat /proc/cmdline” and confirm that the net.ifnames variable is missing after a reboot, to ensure it’s not persisting somehow after you removed it.

It’s a positive thing, don’t be worried.

These vulns already existed. It’s possible the bad guys were already using them. This gets them out in the open and on their way to being resolved.

Just keep patches up to date with any modern and maintained distro and you’ll be grand.

Some of 'em will be experts.

SME here, moving around 300 vms from Rocky to Debian.

But your question is really too vague. Our workflows are quite traditional, but the world is a big place and there is no single right answer here.

separate your banking from your mobile device altogether.

Not possible. Many banking services require a mobile device for visual authorisation as part of their MFA. That requires using their app, not a normal website.

NC7s a good pick.

But don’t blur all 2k+ beemers into the same group. I had a 2004 GS for a good few year - my first proper bike. Not as solid as the CB or NCs that’s true, but that big solid boxer engine is lovely and a superb motorway cruiser. The 04’s were the last of the oilheads, widely considered the most reliable engines, But even then, BMW were over-complicating shit, and it’s much worse now.

/If/ he’s declining (I like spankinspinach’s answer) through dementia, then as someone who’s watched their very intelligent mother, their step-father and their uncle all decline with it - my answer to “how do you accept this?” is - you can’t.

Oh, you can be rational, and sympathetic, and take steps to protect them and get them the care they need - but emotionally? Dude, it’s fucking hard. Seeing someone go through their own denial in the early stages, how they try to trick you into thinking they’re okay. As it progresses and they have to surrender, then the oblivion that inevitably follows. Watching my own mother forget every single fact about our shared memories to the point she didn’t even know who I was, then worse, when she thought I was my father. Then her regression to a little girl. (That sounds linear but it isn’t)

If he is going down that route, then the only thing to do is try to prepare yourself for a whole world of hurt and anger. Be strong, be the parent for them, but die yourself inside.

Good luck with your licence. I found it a hard test when I did my DAS a few years ago but did pass first time, doing both MOD 1 and 2 back to back.

You say you’re not fussed about top speed, but smaller bikes are very buzzy at the top end of their range (as you know on a 125) so don’t be afraid to go bigger for motorways and it’s nice to have power in reserve. Big bikes ride better there and less twitchy in side winds, but are less agile in the city.

If you want a solid commuter bike, you can’t go wrong with Honda cb500 or similar. There’s a lot of older ones still chugging away - tatty and less stealable, but ultra reliable and cheap to maintain. 70mpg, more than enough power for the motorway, not too fat to filter.

Some of the older (2000-2010) BMW 1100-1200s are fairly good, either GS or RT. Lovely torquey engine, good presence, comfy and nice on the motorway. A bit fat for filtering sometimes.

Good shout on keeping your 125. They’re a hoot and great for bombing around the lanes or cities.

Ah, so it is. Now I understand why you’re not putting the code up front on the github project page for everyone to see.

For me, that means something where the code is obviously AI authored.

I’m not anti-AI, I use it all the time when coding. But when the human responsible for that code, and there must always be one, doesn’t understand every single line of that code and why it’s there, then it’s unwise to use that code. LLMs can churn out perfectly good code within their current scope, but they cannot (yet) produce cohesive and maintainable code that doesn’t grow out of scope. And when an experienced coder sits down and reviews that code, there will be a high WTF/minute ratio.

Well, you asked for our opinions, that was mine.

That still looks like closed source though, and these days folks view such things with suspicion, especially for small projects that are generally foss. There’s a lot of people unwilling to run stuff they view as heavily AI authored, or potentially malicious, and not having the source out front to look at is going to put some folk off.

But as I say, it’s just my opinion. Hope it works out for you.

Pomodoro is an interesting technique, and it’s something I’d quite like to try.

But I’m struggling with a couple of things here;

1. Why use github when it’s closed source? Github users tend to expect to be able to see the code and use it freely. (With larger projects, some features may be paywalled)
2. What are you offering to justify it being paid? Especially when there are a lot of free pomodoro timers out there (Two websites - https://www.freepomodorotimer.com/ https://www.tomatotimers.com/ and desktop tools)

I’m a developer (well, sysadmin,but I write a lot of software both for work and as a hobby). I don’t see your method as viable, but perhaps I’m wrong. I wouldn’t pay for such a tool when there are free alternatives. I can’t see how much work you’ve put into yours, but this sounds like something simple that wouldn’t take long to write, vibe or not. I’m also a big fan of FOSS, both as a user and an author.

So basically, what’s special enough for it not to be FOSS?

Extended Warranties.

As in the pig from Charlotte’s Web?

Says the millennial, complainingly.

Dunno. I use Debian, so that stuff just works from day 1.

It’s about market share (“Your first hit is free…” marketing), but you’re probably seeing only one aspect.

They’re already charging very real money for subscription users, especially enterprise.

Uber spent $3.4bn, their entire budget for AI fees for 2026, within the first four months of this year - that’s real money by anyone’s definition.

We (not Uber) set up a monitoring portal (litellm) to manage this. Some users are burning through a surprising amount, hitting what we considered sane daily limits within their first hour. One person asked a single query that cost $30 .

Individual consumers of AI are riding free on this as the big AI players jostle for position and valuation.

Will that bubble burst or gradually deflate? Or keep growing longer? Nobody knows, or if they do they’re investing cleverly and keeping their mouth shut.

And also why tahler is seen in some old books, and those in well researched fantasy - some origin.

Guess: Junctions are weighted.

There’s an extra junction on the green route. Junctions often add delays when giving way to traffic, so the algorithm may choose routes with fewer.
