Caveman

The turtle A’Tuin swims through space, it doesn’t need to stand on anything unlike the world and the elephants.

I came to the same conclusion, Nobara for would have been best.

Steam UI uses chromium embedded framework which saves 50% of the ram and startup time.

Webapps are in general badly written and inefficient.

Good for stability, bad for flexibility for when the homelab grows more complex.

At the start I just wanted a desktop machine that runs Steam through sunshine/moonlight so hardware support and gaming stuff such was very important.

My homelab used to run on my laptop when it could all fit within a couple 100s of GB and I was the only user but moving it was tricky. Since I’m a programmer I’m not afraid of this stuff so I just spent the hours to figure out one problem at a time.

I ended up figuring out adding HDD whitelist in SELinux, make it accessible in podman, manually edit fstab because tools didn’t work, systemd service for startup, logging in automatically where I already forgot everything and would have not had to do any of this on a bog standard Ubuntu server.

I set my homelab up on Bazzite immutable with podman and SELinux. It took a while to work everything out and have it boot up into a valid state hahaha

As much as I don’t like AI I don’t blame him for using it. Opensource is a thankless sector where maintainers put in massive amount of work for nothing in return. If AI is helping him then all the power to him.

That being said we don’t know how AI code generated currently will age. We know how the code 3 years ago ended up being slop of hard to maintain code but modern models are a lot more competent. Maybe he shouldn’t have removed the coauthored by Claude thingy but in the end it’s him using a tool and verifying it’s output.

I used lutris back in the day for playing rocket league and I’d also use it today. I feel we should give this guy the benefit of the doubt for now. If in the future Lutris becomes less stable we should absolutely blame AI but until then I’ll hold off on my judgement.

My coworker added issuer and validate issuer in the same PR

I like the one about eggs and milk.

My wife says “Bring liters of milk, if they have eggs, bring 12” and gets upset when I bring her the 12 liters.

I got another bad one I just made.

A programmer of a fishing app had a rough break-up but all is well because there are plenty of fish in the C.

Java is for kids and C# is for adults because you don’t want the kids to C# edges.

print("I got a funny joke for you, just give me a couple of tries.") 
chars = string.ascii_lowercase + " " 
while true:
    l = random.randint(20, 50)
    print("".join(random.choice(chars) for _ in range(l)))
    print("Ok, the last one maybe wasn't funny but give me one more try")

They drill down to the root of the problem.

He probably assumed it’s an OS based on react js

Depends on how long you’ve been working. After some amount of time like a year or two you can drop it into a conversation when helping a person “oh, I actually use libre office so I’m not sure where MS put that, let me check” and if they want more info they’ll ask. Sometimes they might be surprised that you can actually do this stuff on Linux.

In software as long as its not rushed you can quote something, fix it in 10 minutes and deliver it the next day and people will be amazed you finished it in under a day.

First pick a desktop environment, currently KDE, Gnome and Cinnamon are the best.

• Gnome: Opinionated design like apple
• KDE: tons of options.
• Cinnamon: A bit fewer options than KDE but still a lot.

All of them are very robust and have a massive user base.

Then pick a base to operate on. Fedora, Ubuntu and Mint are all good options.

• Fedora and Ubuntu are good for newer hardware and 99% of the time just works.
• Mint just works all the except for newer hardware.

Nvidia GPUs are not a big issue but you have to install the proprietary driver yourself for best performance and fewest bugs.

My pick for you is something your friend uses if you have a friend on Linux otherwise Fedora KDE or Kubuntu.

Or like having to login to a microslop account to use offline tools

Iceland mentioned 🇮🇸

Looks good, I’m going to try it out. I’ve almost good a complete zero mouse setup on my computer and i only use it for websites. I go as far as to use the terminal to connect to BT headphones and to play/pause music.

Revanced is alive and kicking guys.
