I’ve had bad tinkering break my system before, but never had an update break it irreversibly. The closest would actually be on Silverblue itself, when an update to the kernel was using different signing keys that cause the system not to boot. Fortunately it was simple, I selected the previous deployment and I was in (on a non versioned OS I would have selected the previous kernel which most are configured to retain the last few). A quick Google revealed Ublue had a whole kerfuffle and after verifying it was legit, I enrolled the new certs into my MOK.

Although one time on Arch I had installed an experimental version of Gnome from one of their repos, and was pleasantly surprised when that version finally released and I removed the experiment repo and did an update absolutely nothing at all broke. Nothing.

To be fair, making a device wifi connected is stupid cheap nowadays. That being said, you bet your ass they’re harvesting data.

My parents got a fridge with a similar feature and no screen (they didn’t know it had that) but I was curious and hooked it to the IOT network. Literally the only smart feature it exposed was a door open sensor…

This consternation is definitely common. It’s hard to apply skills to something with no long term impact of benefit. I’ve improved my skills by finding stuff I can help on in the communities I participate in.

It’s natural to be overwhelmed, so deciding on a project does scope what you can learn, but a hard part is architecting the foundation of that project.

Introducing new features to an existing project is a great way to get your feet wet - it has multiple benefits, for one of you do take a position as a developer in the future, you likely won’t be architecting anything initially, primarily improving on existing projects. So participating in OSS projects is a similar mechanism to that - you have to learn their codebase to a degree, you have to learn their style and requirements, etc.

Even if you don’t ultimately contribute, it’s still a learning experience.

It’s the first thing I thought of when the articles about the generative AI polluting itself started coming out.

Yeah, the generative AI pollution feels alot like the whole steel thing - since the nuclear tests it’s been impossible for new steel to not be slightly radioactive, which means if they need uncontaminated steel they get it from ships that sunk before those.

LUKS, or anything that relies on the server encrypting, is highly vulnerable (see [email protected]’s response).

Your best bet would be encrypting client side before it arrives on the server using a solution like rclone, restic, borg, etc.

Such a cute photo. I’ve been trying to take more photos of my pupper. He’s 13 now, and anytime I’m not sure if I’ll ever be ready to lose him.

Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I’ve been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.

Good.

To be fair, the offer letter mentions he is working from a remote office (and is able to hire an assistant of his choosing). I’m hoping this whole supercommute nonsense isn’t daily and instead like… monthly for some meeting or something.

Who am I kidding though, a $10M signing bonus? He gets up to $250K per year of personal use out of the jet? They’ll even reimburse him $50K of legal and advisory fees he incurs having the offer reviewed by his own lawyers. That’s where I stopped reading.

The new gamer’s nexus review outlines some pretty specific prerequisites that AMD sent to fix performance on Windows, and AMD didn’t communicate those until they’d had the review units for days.

What we can work on is awareness. If iOS users are aware, they can choose to simply go to the website directly and make the purchase, instead of using the app. They can still use the app for consumption.

Bookmarking Arkane. I’m a huge fan of Fedora Atomic but miss AUR.

Yes, but you’re more likely to run into an irate person when you turn them away with a cart full of groceries then you are if you turn them away at the door. Plus it reduces the wasted time of employees who have to unload said cart.

Running Fedora Atomic (Silverblue) has definitely saved ms a few times already, being able to roll back to the previous state, or to a state I pinned. The first time was due to the ublue signing key change, the second had no apparent cause. Both issues would have given me more of a headache without the built in ability to roll back.

Going by their comment history, Germany.

I haven’t checked in a while, so they may have walked back on this, but supposedly we finally get coop in the next one.

Due to the nature if those charts, they’re usually web based, not desktop native, and will probably have to be self hosted, even just locally. For example, Redmine supports Gantt charts and can be spun up fairly easily from its Docker image.

When it comes to commits, single feature / scoped commits are quality. So this git history is actually underwhelming if the author is full time. This is a good read.
