I don’t think I’ve ever made a “clean upgrade” on Linux. I’ve done the opposite though, that is, bring an old install over to a new computer.

Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).

Same here. I switched to DDG last year, but had to go back within two weeks; it was just too annoying.
Google search results have indeed gotten pretty bad, but I’ve yet to see anyone surpass them.

I literally haven’t had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.

I’m not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.

Ubuntu is just getting worse and worse. I was pretty happy running Ubuntu server for years after moving from Gentoo; I jag lost interest in spending time taking care for that server and wanted something easy.

I went to Debian half a year ago and it’s been great. Should’ve done it earlier.

Do you think giving the aggressor what they wanted is a good way to promote future peace?

“climate change and other left wing topics”… I know that’s basically how it works in some countries, but it’s insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn’t support such statements.

ZFS is really nice. I started experimenting with it when it was being introduced to FreeBSD, around 2007-2008, but only truly started using it last year, for two NASes (on Linux).

It’s complex for a filesystem, but considering all it can do, that’s not surprising.

Read that again, nobody called vegans unhealthy.

I can’t stand Musk, but SpaceX is going really well, so I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean… If you’re referring to Starship, they didn’t expect it to work 100% on the first few tries (unlike some media, who report on it as if they failed).

What does that have to do with this article? I see no allegation that he was killed/hurt by anybody at all?

It also seems his death is not at all confirmed FWIW.

Helpful yes, but far from enough. It only helps in some scenarios (like accidental deletes, malware), but not in many others (filesystem corruption, multiple disks dying at once due to e.g. lightning, a bad PSU or a fire).

Offsite backup is a must for data you want to keep.

That’s in bytes. A modern NVMe drive can do about 7 GB/s (more than 10 for PCIe 5.0 drives). Even SATA could handle 5 Gbit/s, though barely.

Sorry for the nitpick, but you probably mean GB/s (or GiB/s, but I won’t go there). Gbps is gigabits per second, not gigabytes per second.
Since both are used in different contexts yet they differ by about a factor of 8, not confusing the two is useful.

No, it’s not. I have never brushed my teeth too hard and have always used very soft toothbrushes, but I used to brush for 6-7 minutes, and my gums have suffered for it. Way too much of my teeth are now exposed, which is both ugly and causes sensitivity.
In the long run, if one keeps this up, teeth will start falling out.

Don’t overbrush.

Is Fennec just the old name, orn something different?

I use Firefox on Windows and Firefox on Android.

50 MW global impact? It’s about 1/20 of a typical nuclear reactor.

Threatening to sue doesn’t sound like apologizing though.
