The comments on Phoronix definitely took a racist turn…

My understanding is that it boots faster. That’s a nice thing to have on a container that spins up on demand.

That’s news to me - and a bit of a dick move.

New Thinkpads are still great Linux laptops, so there’s a steady stream of newer 2nd hand models coming on the market.

C# is much more recent than C/BCPL etc. What’s interesting, though, is how many of C these more modern languages are inspired by C. C is also very much still in use!

Snapshots are read only. Best plan is to rollback to a snapshot you think works, test it and if all is good use sudo snapper rollback to make the current snapshot the default. I usually reboot at that point too, not sure if it’s necessary though.

IIRC, Qt comes with its own declarative language. That might be why you can’t find any bespoke ones.

BTRFS for the OS partitions, ext4 for /home, tmpfs for /tmp. I rarely need to use snapshots, but I do use a rolling release. It’s one of those things you don’t need until you really fucking NEED it. Tumbleweed support is great - I can roll back a bad update in about as long as it takes to reboot.

Yet the telegram client is written in Qt and has great cross-platform support.

Amateur! Ints should be called i, j or k.

It works really well with my QNAP NAS, including using the MariaDB service running in it. I mount the photos on the NAS as a drive first, and then it just works.

Not all music, just degenerate music.

Upgraded this morning. Everything seems mostly OK, but the login screen theme is odd, but fully functional. The lock screen is the same as before, though.

It’ll work, but the fan won’t speed up when the CPU is hot.

Thinkpads are great for running Linux, but one thing I’ve noticed is thinkfan is not installed by any distro I’ve tried. You definitely want that, or your laptop’s fan isn’t going to work - that will lead to performance issues or potentially damage your laptop

I use fuck, it’s not ai but gets the job done.

Why would I want to use this instead of AWS Session Manager? I have a policy of no SSH enabled on any of my servers. Is this compatible with SSM connections too?

I prefer the non nonsense interface of RSS Guard, but then I’m reading CVE notices, so I need it simple and organised.

Opensuse tumbleweed on a lenovo X1 gen 7. Software wise - KDE desktop and VS Code, Dbeaver, Kate and Firefox. Oh, and the usual command line tools - git, npm, terraform… This is a work laptop, but I find tumbleweed to be extremely stable, considering it’s a rolling release. If it does go south, there is a fantastic snapper support to roll back to the previous state.
