Yeah, even with my relatively limited Esperanto familiarity (mi estas ankoraŭ komencanto, sed mi povas legi kaj skribi iomete), I was originally confused by it as well when I started using it a few months ago. Then when I saw the explanation on the faq, I just found myself wondering why the heck they used g instead of ĝ.

TOML or bust

Could also have air bags for hauling

I’m not familiar with ports, does it provide an easy way to install packages of a particular version? Is it OpenBSD only, or just a system of installing things?

I’ve got no dog in the race as of yet, I’ve bounced off of nixos a few times because of the general lack of consistency from one package to the next in terms of configuration options made available in the Nix language.

Genuinely curious about how it compares. The nix package manager seems fairly promising, even on non-Nix systems, if I could ever convince myself I needed it

I can imagine that getting confused with Guix (pronounced geeks)

New installations of windows do not ask, and simply enable it

The main thing people are upset about isn’t that OneDrive exists or that Microsoft is pushing it. It’s that updates have made it so that OneDrive folder backup is automatically enabled without user permission. Backing up files to OneDrive without being asked to. That is a privacy nightmare.

I personally host my own copy of Nextcloud and use that for anything I need to sync or back up. I have a regular back up job that snapshots the Ceph cluster it uses for storage and copies it to my own NAS box here in the house, which is automatically replicated via a Nebula network (like TailScale or Zerotier but fully self-managed) to an identical NAS at my parents’ house across town.

I did not hit her! Oh hi, Mark, you piece of shit

My favorite variant: Your secret is safe with my indifference.

DSP recently got localized small distribution drones, you can convert any storage box into a tiny logistics station now. It’s pretty sweet, really reduces the spaghetti early on in recent playthroughs

I’m sorry, my goal wasn’t to be a bother. My initial comment was intended to be friendly and funny - I’m not trying to patronize or be antagonistic. I learned a couple of years ago that I have autism, so I should have learned my lesson by now and stopped trying to be funny; It never pans out the way I mean for it to.

Hope I wasn’t too much of a drag on your day, and I hope it gets better for you.

With that said, a genuine question with no jokes: Can you help me understand how 2016 counts as recent, given the context? It was almost a decade ago, and I’m having trouble comprehending how it counts at all as recent since in tech “recent” usually means “in the last 2-3 years” unless you’re comparing to something from a much longer time ago like the 90s.

It was a lighthearted jab at calling 8 years ago recent; Not a political statement about Apple or operating systems.

8 years is a ton of time in tech, CPUs from 2016 are ancient. Single-core CPU performance has doubled in Intel’s laptop chips since then, and modern laptop CPUs from Intel are often 12-core, versus the top end 2016 MacBook Pro having 4 cores.

Not trying to start any fights, was just poking fun at the choice to call 2016 recent

I can read, and a 2016 MacBook pro is not even a bit recent; It’s from 8 years ago :-)

Just a bit of light-hearted leg pulling, nothing to get worked up over

I hate to break it to you friendo, but 8 year old hardware isn’t recent. It may still be usable, but that doesn’t make it recent. It’s ok though grandpa, let’s get you back to bed

The dual GPU problem has actually for the most part also been solved; Optimus rarely poses a problem these days

Group policy lets you basically configure anything on any machine in the active directory domain; Installed programs, installed updates, basically any settings, schedules, services, automatically adding (and limiting by users if you want) network devices like printers and storage… It’s pretty powerful, and does way more than just filesystem permissions.

I bought the whole RAM, I’m gonna use the whole RAM

Java devs gotta be able to read the whole name of their WidgetFactoryBuilderRepositoryConstructorFactoryRepositoryBuilderFactoryRepositoryManagerBuilderFactoryRepositoryFactoryFactoryFactoryBuilderFactory

It’s a fair bit more than that, but yes in a sense it is RAID if you are using it across more than one drive (as you should). You can use ZFS on a single drive though, so it’s a middle ground situation.

The main thing is to avoid hardware RAID controllers unless you have a really good reason, and that’s generally what most people refer to as RAID. Generally folks are moving to JBOD setups with filesystems like ZFS now though

Reject raid, ZFS supremacy
