Yast. I love zypper and opi but yast is super weird. Like if you want to do things that you can do with yast, you probably know how to do it on terminal.

I would be happy to receive an invite :)

This would be hilarious if it happened.

Nothing is perfect. Every distribution I used have had bugs at some point.

I would usually wait a while before, maybe until the first point release to upgrade so that there is time to iron out all the teething issues.

The actual problem is only encountered when the raspi-firmware package is (re)configured or when the kernel/initramfs is updated.

Have at look at this: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

I found this to be invaluable when I was borking stuff all the time.

My main draw towards Linux is the exact opposite experience. I have a Linux install that has been carried over three computer and two harddisk changes over 10 years and it’s still as good, or slightly better than it used to be.

My suggestion would be to start with something stable like Debian and read the manual when you want to tinker with it. Especially this: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

Yeah. Like the character in memento I suppose, albeit in a subtler way.

I think I misunderstood you. The one I was talking about was a bug in proxmox. If it’s an issues inside lxc, you can replicate the Ubuntu networking stack using nmcli or use systemd-networkd and resolved directly. It behaves identically as far as I know.

The thing is I’ve been making a cup of coffee reliably every morning for more than a decade and I still need to spend time thinking about whether I’m going to do it.

Last time I checked this was a known bug. DHCPv6 would even cause many containers to not start or to not get an address.

I understand this part :) I use a fairly complex firewall at work though I only know bits and pieces from reading different manuals. I think the part I didn’t understand was how exactly the routing worked differently in IPv4 vs v6. I get that because NAT happens in IPv4, packets can’t be routed at all without the firewall/router but I wasn’t sure what was the mechanism by which v6 made sure that packets went through the router, especially when you have stuff like v6 DHCP relays.

My ISP dynamically allocates a /64. I don’t even know why they do that.

So even though the device has a public address, the route is through the firewall, hence the ability to filter traffic?

Loving it so far! Anyone know how to change the font or font size when you view the message body as plain text rather than HTML? All the font settings I could find in the gui are not changing it.

The desktop notifications are built in now. As for tray, I’m trying out systray-x.

Happy to help :) I have ddns configured with duckdns and it’s been pretty smooth. The only problem will be if you’re behind cgnat.

Why not use dynamic DNS since this isn’t something mission critical?

Debian stable but be careful though, you might never leave after using it for a while :)

Think of it as speaking a foreign language. If you went to Spain, you would need to communicate in a way that people there understand wouldn’t you? Think of communicating with neurotypical people as being in a different country. Their language is has the same words but convey meaning differently based on tone and a bunch of other stuff.

In case of the dogs, the neurotypical communication carries information regarding how much fault you assign to that person and yourself, whose stakes are higher, what is the expected action, what are the possible consequences of not doing that and so on entirely in non-verbal format, something that we have trouble with.

The could you and thank you part is essentially communicating that you’re acknowledging (and in a way probing) that they didn’t probably commit the act out of malice or neglect and giving them room to communicate, while also indicating that they would be helping you by not letting it happen.

Now I am not great at emulating light tone or the correct expressions so I usually just say all of this explicitly in my normal tone. That seems to work mostly.
