Ubuntu and Docker.

Really? Netplan alone disqualifies Ubuntu as a “friendly stable starter distro”, and I can guarantee you that your guide will somehow become outdated with a single new Ubuntu release, or some poor soul who accidentally selected an LTS release.

Docker doesn’t matter as much, but there’s a reason beyond just FOSS licensing why podman exists.

Would highly recommend Debian instead.

I started on Ubuntu similar to this many years ago and both the server and desktop experience was not fun at all.

Sad, you can still do this with youtube for the time being

IoT devs avoid MQTT and Multicast traffic like the plague.

If the 3D of Gen 5 qualifies: https://smilingzero.github.io/BlazeBlack2ReduxWiki/

Don’t quote me on this, but I believe it should also be compatible with https://pkmnclassic.net/ which includes online WFC features such as:

### What works

    GTS
    Battle Videos
    Dressup (PtHGSS)
    Box uploads (PtHGSS)
    Musical photos (BW1/2)
    Wi-Fi Battle Tower and Subway
    Random Match ups (Currently requires AR Code: https://github.com/mm201/pkmn-classic-framework/issues/116)

### What doesn't

    Trainer Rankings (PtHGSS)
    ~~Wi-Fi Plaza (PtHGSS)~~ Seems to work now
    Game Sync
    Rating Battles / Competitions

First time ever I’ve seen someone complain about Pokemon on lemmy. Only other time I saw Nintendo complaints was a couple of posts about Mario Kart during the Switch 2 launch.

I’m so damn sick of the bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.

Most of us here aren’t braindead consumers who throw money at even subpar media, much less Game Freak slop. Could probably guarantee you most people on lemmy probably haven’t touched a Pokemon game since they were a kid.

It’s like a McDonald’s Happy Meal. It’s a targeted cheap product designed to make money.

Damn you guys are getting stuff with a new thing? I have to keep 30+ year old stuff because they keep removing things and making it comically smaller than the size of the hole.

I thought Canvas was self hosted? Or do they offer service instances too?

Dawg even pirate stream sites don’t host on AWS and GCP, you can still watch your content for free online without worrying about a cloud outage because pirate sites actually distribute their files on several cloud platforms since they’re technically always at risk of DMCA lol.

Many IDE cables used to come with 2-4+ daisy chained connectors allowing you to plug in multiple drives into a single cable on a single IDE bus.

This meant that you had to ensure any downstream HDDs would be configured as slaves to show up properly to the system.

You could either do this manually by setting the jumper to slave (usually just removing it) or setting the jumper to cable select which would automatically configure master slave drives for you.

Example for a Seagate drive:

In your case, you could either use the master select or cable select and it wouldn’t matter since you only have one drive.

Should also see the IDE slave/master jumper on the drive itself.

Same experience, thought desktop on linux was behind because I started on Ubuntu with GNOME.

Luckily tried XFCE on someone’s Debian install and realized GNOME just kinda sucked.

Even GNOME 2 was a pretty standard DE, 3 and 40+ just took a weird nosedive where they enforced their idea of the perfect DE, despite it breaking a ton of rules about good UX and removing a bunch of former features.

British public wrong about nearly everything

FTFY :D

Or some kind of National Instituion of Standards and Technology

Its usually that you’ve experienced the gold standard of something before and now you can’t achieve it again, so everything in comparison looks boring.

Not to be confused with nostalgia, but movies for example had a peak period of production and entertainment value that is long gone. Modern hollywood almost looks like slop compared to even decent film hits 30+ years ago, but anyone who hasn’t experienced that era wouldn’t know. You just never know when you’re in a golden era until its over because it’s all relative to your perspective. And it’s always possible another golden era appears, its just very unlikely.

Aside from that, I heavily critique everything because I used to be a big fiction reader and now I can’t help but notice every plot hole, character development flaw, trope, and archetype in literally any media.

They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but its gotten to the point where I can reasonably deduce most of the story of a movie from its quick description, which is not a good thing.

Example mega spoiler for Fantastic 4:

Also got banned from db0 for calling out their recent trend of being tankie sympathizers and hosting .ml users to subvert instance blocks

Not to add fuel to the fire but .ml is barely a problem. Now hexbear on the other hand (lol)

XFCE + Compiz was 100% worth the effort of doing it once and then being able to just copy to a new device.

Waiting for XFCE to complete their Wayland transition, and I’m gonna upgrade to Wayfire.

That being said, yeah I give KDE to basically everyone else new to Linux lol

Both. WIndows 8 added a ton of unnecessary operations, part in due to the horrendous new PWA system they made to replace all the proven software.

NTFS meanwhile functionally reflects FAT32. It has no proper block allocation algorithm, so files get fragmented and placed in poor locations all over the physical disk. Tools like defraggler became super popular because they provided serious and visible IO gains from defragging your drives.

Compare that to ext4 which only begins to fragment once you hit something like 95%+ capacity.

Pakistan Air Force after their J-10C “sales demo”:

So, they didn’t know how to properly configure prometheus. I tell them I can kill 2 birds with one stone. No, prometheus bad. Rejected.

Bruh I would trust a high schooler to successfully spin up prometheus; stories like this are what make more grateful for my job, brings back memories of insane posts on r/sysadmin
