• You’re right about hardware - sometimes it just is dodgy. But a tiling wm is a tiling wm.
• Developers looking after their laptops? That’s asking for trouble. They know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to dig themselves out of the holes they’re creating.
• I’ve never made linux as part of my personality - I’ve discovered it. We naturally lean towards things we’re good at and get good at things we lean towards. I’ll (hooefully) never initiate preaching of linux and its userspace, but if a conversation happens to go that way - I’ll happily chime in.

Have a nice day!

Not op, but I also prefer being more specific over less. Andrew Spinks is, in fact, a he - no need to abstract that.

I don’t want to use windows. I’ve found something better.

I had used windows for decades prior to that. Never been a windows admin professionally, but definitely new my way around.

I’ve had my desktops with reasonable uptime as well, but it was on win7 (and probably 10). However, system uptime is not everything. Things running within that system have to keep running as well and they don’t.

I think thr closest comparison I can give is upgrading speakers - you can’t really tell a higher quality speaker plays your music any better until months pass, you get used to it and then hear the same track on a previous set. It’s night and day.

Everything does, indeed, crash; but the rate on windows is ridiculous. I was thinking the same way as you, but a year ago was given a windows laptop at work, which was my first windows device in close to 5 years ar the time.

It is, without any exaggeration, completely unusable compared to my tiny sway or hyprland desktop. Got a replacement laptop about half a year in - same nonsense. So hardware faults are ruled out.

Eventually made a deal and set up my favourite distro on it - all insanity went away. It might not run photoshop, but I don’t need it. At least it doesn’t crash every few days.

Many words to say a simple thing: people get used to software being shit. It’s really nowhere near that bad if you leave windows environment.

Yea, give that a shot. I love what you’re doing in general - mixing things up might also be a good idea; would probably not stand out as much as 40-same-format posts in a row do :)

Any chance a chapter could be a post rather than a page? Currently it’s a bit too spammy.

Official docs, that’s it. kubeadm init with a pod cidr and dns name for the control plane.

For network and network policies I went with calico. I think flannel and ovn are better, but our prod and staging on eks run calico, hence the choice. Metrics server afterwards and now I’m at the before mentioned spot of trying to figure out certs. I think cert-manager is my choice, but at the same time I got sidetracked with reworking our internal ca. Current is rsa and I want ed25519 plus a bit more automation.

It was, but it’s been back for some years now

This is put so beautifully!

Is this from some sort of q&a?

Oh yes, absolutely, to everything you’ve said. Every pixel on the matrix has to be wired up individually. My only argument would be that we’ve already reached ridiculous resolutions on phones - might as well plop a square sensor in.

What @[email protected] said.

Although we could just use a square matrix.

I see you’re shopping at tesco as well!

Point taken :D Coffee must kick in at some point.

… and it really showed bottom of the barrel

And then someone knocked from beneath.

I, personally, like a language being rich. Nothing wrong with not knowing all the ins and outs, but calling for simplification on what is already an very simple language is odd.

I don’t see how any country’s supreme court, other than Salvador’s, could give any orders that would be followed in Salvador.

Screen tearing is no longer an issue, at least on wayland. As for simple… it’s different.

Painting your room is to windows like building a house is to linux.

Windows makes it simple to paint your room while linux enables you to build whatever house you want. Nothing is ever free and as such - sometimes certain tradeoffs have to be made that get in a way of what you might consider “simple”.

Mini Metro was the first thing that came to mind. Fun little time waster.
