I don’t agree with the full stop. Eliminating nuance is rarely good. Most tasks an IT professional will execute will be done several times a month, so memorizing the tar command options might be useful if that’s something they do all the time. But demanding that a person is proficient with the CLI as a way to prove familiarity with how things work under the hood is just fallacious.

I coded in vim and we built our own makefiles to deploy our code into our proprietary microcontroller. We also used JTAG to connect gdb with the microcontroller, and not even the guy that coded the JTAG interface would be able to write JTAG commands by hand.

They’re basically describing a good GUI.

It’s okay to have a preference. In my. 20+ years with Linux, I’ve coded with and for it, did low level embedded development with it, used it at home for school and entertainment, used for amateur photography, even managed a small server for a startup.

I still would rather use a GUI, because I have not specialized in most of the tasks. It’s less powerful, but it’s just more intuitive. It’s less portable between DEs, but it’s easier. And if your only doing that once in a blue moon, it’s more than enough.

Thank you!

Broken image link for me 😕

Don’t forget the bazookas to shoot down helicopters.

It’s just too slow and memory consuming. Leave it for backup solutions like Borg.

Haven’t had issues since the 2000s. Use a separate boot partition, use UEFI, you’re golden.

Yeah, the fact that ZFS is in Oracle’s hands is the real crime here. I miss Sun.

Thanks, TIL. I always assumed the Open version originated on OpenBSD, and therefore licensed under a BSD license. So TrueNAS is technically violating the licenses by using it in their Linux based systems?

Friends don’t let friends use filesystem level deduplication.

Isn’t OpenZFS compatible though?

That anything but due process can annul anyone’s university degree is just mind boggling. “Here’s the proof of your efforts… psych!”

First, keep your condescension to yourself.

Second, that’s not evidence, that’s FUD.

OnlyOffice does for sure, not sure how well it works on LibreOffice Online.

LibreOffice online exists. It’s not mature, but they could have invest half their time in making it so.

Only Office is natively cloud based, with an optional offline/desktop version.

Both are open source, if the concern is project governance, create a fork and rebrand.

Is there any evidence of any wrongdoing or are we just considering all open source software from Russia a bad actor by default?

Really? Is there an alternative that hits all the points above? I’m really asking.

• persistent IRC style chat rooms
• virtual “servers” to organize said chat rooms, manage privileges, control visibility
• integration with bots for all sorts of things (moderation, user welcome, dice rollers, etc.)
• integration with games/music players/etc (I don’t use it but it’s very popular)
• privacy and moderation controls
• client allows fine grained notification controls
• voice, video, and screen casting simultaneously
• “server” templates: use an existing server config (roles, permissions, rooms, etc.) when creating a new server.

That’s just off the top of my head.

It’s enshittifying, but the value proposition is still hard to beat. I’m really hoping Matrix catches up with the feature set soon.

Nheko provides an interface that is reminiscent of Discord. Fully featured and fast Matrix client.
