Yes, I know this is the place where everybody loves to rice and have complete control over their system, but unlike some people who use Linux, I actually have a job and things I need to do.I have been daily driving Linux, and it is very good, but I was wondering if it is possible to still have a good understanding of Linux systems on what some may call a “normie” distro like Ubuntu. Do I really need to use something like Arch or Gentoo to learn Linux? And if I do use Arch or Gentoo, am I even really learning Linux? It kind of seems I would learn more about the package manager and whatever other stuff it uses instead of actually learning Linux systems.
>>108502677You should be thinking of what you want to accomplish on your machine instead of becoming an expert on fucking with it. The point of Linux is not to be difficult to use or master regardless of what 'power users' say. No one uses windows because it's harder to use. The Linux community is infested with elitists who do nothing productive with a computer. Keep using Ubuntu and be productive with it. If it can't do what you need it to, then consider another option.
>>108502677“Learning Linux” is usually just about managing a server, and that’s a completely different skill set. Normalfag and HR roastie just assume that typing shit on a linux server means you understand linux, even though many linux nerds don’t know how to manage a server and the same as server admins don’t know how to be productive on a linux desktop
>>108502819slack is majorly underrated
>>108502677Ubuntu must work reasonably well for a desktop linux, because the tinkertrannys seem to be annoyed by it. They prefer broken systems that give them a puzzle to solve.

do i really need a VPN to torrent? ive been doing this for over 10 years now from movies to games and its not like i got spam mailed or anything, is there really a threat to not using a vpn?
>>108507685Starlink sent me a copyright infringement notification because I pirated a knight of the seven kingdoms
>>108507685Brazilian here, never received even a message from anyone. I've been pirating and seeding since forever without a condom. If they start criminalizing it I will just stick to public domain books
>>108514588guess if youre using starlink its auto vpn time for torrenting huh
Just connect to your neighboor wifi
i used to get "Notice of Copyright Infringement" emails from charter back when i had them as an ISP. nothing ever bad happened, but seeing my IP, DNS, port, and the filename of the torrent i was downloading was alarming.i stopped getting the alerts as i moved away from public trackers, but it's something to keep in mind if you aren't using a VPN.i'm very fortunate that i was only downloading movies and tv shows since those emails went to the account holder (my parents) at the time.

>>108494112>>108514931to give a concrete example, consider this c# libary: https://github.com/JakeBayer/FuzzySharpits a port of a python package for fuzzy string comparisonIt has 11.6 million downloads as a nuget package (https://www.nuget.org/packages/FuzzySharp)And I invite you to actually clone that repo and try to understand everything.Its 3.4k LOC spread over 48 separate files for an average of 71 lines per file.3.4k may seem small, but for what it does its a bloated mess. Not despite, but exactly because it follows clean code ideas like "break everything into tiny pieces".It's the closest thing to enterprise fizz buzz I've found in the wild, that's 100% not a joke.That entire library, can be compressed to a single file that's less than 800 LOC,Here it is: https://pastebin.com/jByXaMkEInstead of 50 types theres 8. Instead of a couple hundred functions there's less than two dozen.And it's not even because it aggressively compresses everything to the utmost extend.Comment too long.

who even talks like this
>>108494112>>108515161to make my case even stronger:Roughly 500 lines of the compressed single-file version is the core levenshtein distance implementation,which is almost unchanged from the C code of the original python package.The other 260 lines contains all of the logic for the heuristics that are built ontop of levenshtein distance.The levenshtein distance implementation in the library is also basically that more or less unchanged 500 lines of code.Which means the remaining 2.9k LOC spread over 47 files and the 260 lines in my compressed version do the same.Despite one version being over 10x larger.thank you for reading my blog

What happened here, this was the best archive
So like, what are the chances of microsoft seeing what they did with dumping explorer and shifting into a chrome forked EDGE:What are the chances they'll do the same with the ENTIRE windows OS and just forking a unix kernel that runs windows executables? Like what motivation do they have to keep windows running? Especially if they can cut costs for supporting new iterations, continually fork linux and charge people for a distro that runs windows apps? I'm thinking EDGE is like the ultimate case study and evidence that they just exit the OS market since it's much more expensive to maintain an OS thats slowly becoming more and more obfuscated?

>>108515120>The Windows kernel is mostly fine,Bro they had to make an announcement that they were going back to native apps because they over relied on webapps. I'm not sure if you're referring to like autistic windows where you strip out everything you don't need and use your own interface. But for the average consumer and whoever they actually sell to their shit has gotten abysmal.

>>108511839Because the only real differentiator is your experience. The more experienced guy signals he will expect more money but his experience doesn't show clear upward progression, he's still stuck at a mid level at best after 12 years. The 5 YOE one doesn't have that black mark against him yet, and he's probably cheaper too, and younger so more eager to work hard and learn

any good antix alternatives for low end old hardware?i got this computer with a motherboard that supports both IDE and SATA drives and has DDR2 RAM, but the CPU is a quad core from 2008 so its probably the most powerful DDR2 RAM computer ive ever had, but its only got 2GB RAM right nowantix is kind of a bitch to use, i tried to customize the applicatoins menu and accidentally wipd it, then i tried restoring it but it only shows a few appsmaybe i should just install LXQt
>>108515048I think that was more of a (you) problem then antiX itself being the problem.
>>108514547So you have downloaded and extracted the kernel sources, entered the directory and are about to do nconfig?Have no idea where you came to that. Like is your currently running kernel configured the way you want to or are you using a generic distro kernel? >>108514790/mnt *is* *the* option, you create a mount point under it, such as /mnt/something
Why can't we accept that IPv6 is a dumpster fire and leave it in the trash where it belongs
>>108502502because Win11
why did they have to use : to separate the numbers though? typing IPv6 addresses is a pain because now you have to hold shift a bunch of times. why couldn't they just use . like before? or literally any other symbol that you don't need to hold down an extra key to type? fucking assholes
Only the ignorant networks think IPv6 is on any way worse than IPv4. There are 0 (zero, null) arguments in favor of IPv4 over IPv6
>>108514666Because you can embed an IPv4 into an IPv6 address, see RFC 4291, section 2.2 point number 3:https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2.2>An alternative form that is sometimes more convenient when dealing with a mixed environment of IPv4 and IPv6 nodes is x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d, where the 'x's are the hexadecimal values of the six high-order 16-bit pieces of the address, and the 'd's are the decimal values of the four low-order 8-bit pieces of the address (standard IPv4 representation). Examples:>0:0:0:0:0:0:13.1.68.3>0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:129.144.52.38>or in compressed form:>::13.1.68.3>::FFFF:129.144.52.38A different separator character is required because 0-9 symbols are present in both decimal IPv4 and hexadecimal IPv6 notation.

>>108514841>prices had soared by 250%>prices dropped by 30%not very satisfying desu
>>108514841Everything is fabricated just to obscure the Epstein Files and make people forget about them.
>>108514841Likely part of the price surge was from companies ordering more RAM to secure supply, and then hiking prices of computers and shit, causing less demand, leading to less follow up orders, freeing up more RAM to go into DIMMs and letting that demand get filled more which allowed prices to come back down a bit.But we're still looking at 2-3x the price for RAM and NAND right now. It's not like that went away overnight.
