Lewis? According to interviews they optimized for racing instead of qualification (and they said something along the lines of “maybe we pushed it a bit too far but we won’t be sure until after the race”).

Looking forward to Lewis making up some places :-)

If the containers are related you could use docker-compose, which has commands to stop / restart/ remove all containers at once.

I have never owned a console, but have been playing games since I was 4 (that would be 1981). Also I can’t remember paying for anything in those days :-) Everything came on cassettes and floppies.

I made some very basic text based games back then. Nothing that anyone else would ever play :-)

(Also I am a developer, but not in the FOSS sphere)

Everyone is making jokes but the thought has occurred to me: Yes, we have an organisation in place that is ready to replace him. But, from what I understand, he IS the benevolent dictator, and he has used his power a few times to stop some changes that otherwise would be in the kernel right now. And I think that’s a good thing.

Debian actually does security updates on those old packages.

Debian is more a “stable and boring” kind of thing :-)

Moccamaster is the best coffee

So why do so many people seem to think Linux needs to become bigger on Desktop?

Personally I am not looking forward to the consequences: capitalism will make sure there will be something on Linux to make money off. They will try to conquer it, introduce walled gardens, stores you will have to pay for, by watching ads.

Android was Open Source once until Google decided to mainstream it.

Ah but then you are talking about servers? That would be a different story! The machine that I use for development (laptop) should always work (I would trust nixos with this) and if I want to spin up a container (docker run) or install an application (apt install)or change my vpn client configuration it is currently effortless and I’m not sure nixos can do that.

Actually using nixos for some of my private servers would be a nice use case…

I’m very critical of all the immutable distrubtions - as an old timer in tech I’ve seen so many things come and go. I’m also curious, ofcourse, and already tried out a VM with NixOS and everything seemed fine. But I’m going to wait it out before something like that becomes my main driver, I have a job to do (development, systems, stuff) and I cannot afford to say “sorry little to no progress today, my OS needs tinkering”.

(Feel free to tell me I’m wrong :-) I love to tinker with new stuff).

Could even be a hard link… (some applications don’t like symbolic links).

Edit: or a mount point.

Make sure to stop the application, mount the drive and link it, start the application again You have a backup? :-)

I have good experiences with managing inputs and outputs with pavucontrol, which has a nice GUI. You can choose output per application (I have multiple outputs, headset-microphone on jackplug for meetings, a USB device for HiFi headphones, and a USB device that goes into speakers for when I’m home alone and my noise doesn’t bother anyone - pavucontrol covers that).

If you really want to go into the deep end you might try https://jackaudio.org/ but that’s a very deep end and I hope you won’t need it, but it’s very powerful.

Tuxedo is German? I had a laptop from them and it was perfect:-)

(It was a company laptop, unfortunately had to return it when I got a new job)

As a European: low power consumption!

Good bot!

I have noticed different distributions have different boot times? I remember arch being a lot faster than Ubuntu. (Maybe due to choosing to have everything included and enabled by default, or more bare bones distributions).

My weather app says rain but not a load.

Thank you for the offer but I like the idea of having my hardware too :-)

Easy to hack: I’ve been Minecraft admin for a while now and never heard about that, do you have a source on that?

I’m renting hardware, so if it breaks I probably get the same hardware (and I am assuming backups will be on me). Yeah that is a valid consideration. It will cost me at least several days to find replacement hardware.

I have 50/50 speed so that’s ok.

And having a single open port in my firewall won’t do much. I’m trying to think of a scenario that is not secure. If the Minecraft service itself is hacked, then tailscale or Cloudflare tunnels won’t help me, because they will probably gain the same access rights as the user that I created for the server. Or am I missing something?

Weird TCP packets ? I probably receive those already, server or not.
