I’ve never really seriously used any of the distros that do anything particularly unique.
So, while I can’t think of any specific issue, probably the worst “distro specif ic” issue I’ve run into is the occasional need to use back ports on Debian stable to get more current software.
Ubuntu used to have an option for that and the screen shot from the site looks quite a bit like the old Ubuntu installer.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they forked that installer from Ubuntu at some point.
You’re right, just add Sudo -s to /etc/profile
Really? I’ve been using ExpressVPN on my torrent box with an OpenVPN client for years. It’s still working today.
I know they’re not the best, but I’ve been too lazy to switch on that device.
I’m far from an expert and have never setup borg, but I see some possible problems with that config, though I don’t think I see anything that would cause it fail.
In the environment section of borg, borgmatic, and borgweb, the “BORG_PASSPHRASE” variable is used inconsitently, it either needs to be uncommented in borg or commented out in borgmatic and borgweb.
Networks: having a single “backup_net” network is less than ideal from a security standpoint. Nginx should probably be in it’s own network (an ipvlan or macvlan network) in addition to the backup_net. backup_net should be isolated to the host that are running borg, while any communication into borg should be routed through nginx on its ip.
I haven’t seen it in a while either, but also, if there is a kernel update, uname -s always returns the old kernel until a reboot.
TPU works fairly well depending on the application.
I wouldn’t rely on it for high temperature (above 150C) or high pressure/vacuum applications, but for most household applications it’ll hold up fine.
Nah, minutes have to be either a multiple of 5 or a power of two, ideally also a perfect square. Hours have to be an even number less than 10 but greater than 3. And not on a weekend, regional holiday, or day immediately preceding or succeeding either.
Looks like someone on github even created a script to automatically install and configure grub-btrfs and snapper on Fedora.
My experience with VR has been mixed. When I first fully switched to Linux I was using a Valve Index and the non-flatpak version of Steam and it just worked the same as it did under Windows (except for an issue where on boot the headset would be recognized as the primary display always, fixed by just not plugging in DP from the Index until after logon).
More recently I ordered a BigScreen Beyond 2, and while waiting for that to ship I switched to the flatpak version of Steam. Steam no longer sees that the headset is even connected. Neither the BSB2 or the index work. Fedora, however sees the device just fine.
Some cursory reading indicates there’s an issue with the Steam Flatpak’s handling of USB device permissions, but I haven’t had a chance to thoroughly dig into it.
All of this is on Fedora KDE. I plan on reinstalling everything when Fedora 43 releases, since I’ve got some issues with my drive partition layout that I find annoying, so I’ll try to get VR working again then.
I had been using linux in some capacity (dual-boot, alternate computer, homelab, etc.) for close to twenty years, but there was always some functionality (mostly gaming) that held me back from switching fully. Then something like two or three years ago Proton/Wine finally got to where basically everything I wanted to run was able to run with no more effort on my part than doing the same thing under Windows. At that time I had been dual-booting Windows and Fedora for a little over a year and Windows/Manjaro for about a year prior to that and hadn’t had to boot into windows for almost six months. So, I formatted the Windows drive and haven’t looked back.
That’s a BSD distro
Isn’t the list of shells that are “not fully POSIX compliant” basically every shell in modern use aside from sh?
I’ve been using linux off and on for almost 20 years, though only did a full transition to linux for everything about two years ago. I use debian for the servers in my homelab and Fedora on all my other computers.
Something tells me this chart is based on an external assessment of competence/confidence not a self-assessment, because according to the chart I should be a guru, but in actuality I know nothing.

A couple of years ago I lived in a house with a few friends that we rented from one of their parents. They had a somewhat extensive homeassistant setup. We set up a couple of fun automations.
-Enter 8675309 on a keypad by the door - Play the song at full volume
-Enter 911 - Play police sirens at gradually increasing volume
-Enter 420 - Play that one sample of Snoop Dogg saying “smoke weed every day.”
-Leave the fridge or freezer door open for more than five minutes, start playing Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al at full volume and set all of the lights to red.
If they’re considering optical media, typical BD-R, while viable, may not be be the best choice. BD-R M-Discs would probably be a better choice for backups. Especially if they’re planning on needing access to the data over a period of decades, which would be potentially useful for familiy photos/videos and critical documents.
They are more expensive, as is the drive needed for them, but not by enough to be out of reach or even unreasonable given the additional durability of the discs.
Please don’t stick a thumbdrive into my penis.
Anubis is open source under the MIT license. If the branding is an issue, fork it, change the branding, call it good.
The MIT license makes it, effectively, a whitebox solution. You can change the branding to whatever you want it to be.
If your colleagues are people of a technical inclination they should understand that. If they don’t I would question their competence and literacy. If they’re not technical in nature I would question why any such proposal is reaching their desk without having first been rebranded, implemented in a test environment, thouroughly tested, and then (and only then) being presented as a proof of concept.
