I can’t remember if it was 99 or 2000, I got a copy of Red Hat 6.0 (Hedwig) on the cover of a magazine and installed it. I remember the Lilo boot manager giving me trouble and then it was multiple days of dialing up the internet on my dad’s PC to find info on getting X11 to run correctly on my graphics hardware. Once I got that going it was my win modem that defeated me in the end, couldn’t get any internet. So was back to Windows for another couple of years.

In 2003 my university course had a Linux Administration subject and the lecturer had built a live cd of Fedora Core 2 (this was in the days before live cds were a regular thing) it was a revelation and it worked with much less setup. We had a Linux lab, but the livecd allowed us to work on Linux on our personal machines. I’d dabble with Linux and explore distros for a few years, depending on hard ware compatibility, I’d always have at least one Linux box. I remember attempting to get HalfLife 2 running in Cedega (a commercial fork of wine), even played the original left4dead with friends, this was in 2008. I was there when pulse audio launched before it was ready and when KDE moved to version 4 and was an absolute resource hog. I bought the unreal and tournament games on disc to play on Linux. Was Disappointed when the UT3 release got delayed and then eventually canceled. I remember going to the id software ftps to get the Linux binaries for all the quakes. There were a few other Linux adventures in there, like a misguided attempt at compiling Gentoo in 2007 and working out mythtv server as a media pc and pvr.

Was excited when I got beta access to steam in 2012, and I haven’t had Windows on my personal computers since then.

This is true, because each layered package is reinstalled every time a new compose is pulled. If you layer 100 packages, 100 packages get re-installed. Which massively slows the update process

I copy the URL and paste it into the readme.md in the root of my nextcloud account. I’ll find it again in 6 months or more and finally read it

A tragic legend known as the “Legend of Auebawi and Haesindang”[3] shrouds the statues of the park. According to the legend, a woman was once left by her man on a rock in the sea while he worked. The man was later unable to retrieve her because of a storm, and the woman drowned. After that, the village people were not able to catch fish. Some said that it was because of the dead woman. One day, a fisherman urinated into the water and afterward, he was able to catch fish, so it was thought that exposing the deceased virgin to male genitalia pleased her. To soothe her spirit further, the local village people made several phallic wooden carvings and held religious ceremonies on her behalf. After a while, the fish slowly returned and the villagers were able to live comfortably again. The place where the woman died was named Auebawi Rock and the building where the religious ceremony is held twice a year was named Haesindang. The ceremony is still honored today as a traditional folk event.

They didn’t murder centos, they changed its development so that its upstream of RHEL, one point release ahead. For 95% of deployments it makes no difference, for the last few percent RHEL proper is available for free for non-commercial purposes and if it’s commercial then buy a license or use another clone.

Most people have bought into FUD, and spout off the same BS points, and were never centos users to begin with.

I’ve been running Fedora OStree variants for over two years. I version upgraded and rebased between entirely different spins, rawhide and over to ublue variants then back to fedora mainline. All off the original install, keeping my userspace intact. Never once has it self destructed.

is there a plugin to pull data on the video into a library? Or are you just playing media files?

I was made unemployed for about 5 months in 2013,relying on just my wife’s income and we burned through our savings. I was depressed and it was truly one of the worst years of my life.

on the roof doesn’t make much sense. What I did see the CSIRO testing was a portable solar array that you could roll up and store in the boot. IIRC they drove a Tesla across a large swath of Australia stopping and only charing on the portable array as needed

Laughs in Fedora Atomic

I’ve seen KIMJI and Aoc do movies, but not very regularly. There’s been a few re-encodes clearly done by non groups, probably just running actual releases through handbrake or rav1e or something

there’s a bit of AV1 re-encoding on usenet, it usually comes much later and with little consistency

I run it in podman in user context, root is not required

I got a 2022 Hyundai Kona EV. It does have a touch screen, but most functions can be done with buttons, except for navigation. It does have Android auto, but you don’t have to use it. It has an aux port or Bluetooth audio as an option

I’ve used chatgpt and gemini to build some simple powershell scripts for use in intune deployments. They’ve been fairly simple scripts. Very few have of them have been workable solutions out of the box, and they’ve often filled with hallucinated cmdlets that don’t exist or are part of a thirdparty module that it doesn’t tell me needs to be installed. It’s not useless tho, because I am a lousy programmer its been good to give me a skeleton for which I can build a working script off of and debug myself.

I reiterate that I am a lousy programmer, but it has sped up my deployments because I haven’t had to work from scratch. 5/10 its saved me a half hour here and there.

Where do you live that power is so cheap that you can spin that much rust and also can you run extension lead to my place?

Pro, Enterprise and Education SKUs have less of these “features” enabled

Nothing, someone who never needed access to the RHEL snapshot source is butt hurt that it only exists as part of centOS stream, making it harder for community rebuilds to exist.

It’s no big deal for 95% of users, truly a nonissue. That last 5% can buy RHEL for production or use it for free for personal hosting or development.

fucking noobs and their shitty planet

but it kind of smells like a B, you know?

I’m a parent that grew up on the internet. Remember that many of us who grew up on ICQ and Geocities to Napster and the somethingawful forums and beyond are now approaching 40.
