  • Is /var really such a mystery? I always understood it as the non-volatile system directory that can be written into. Like log files, databases, cache etc. /var/tmp it's somewhat weird because a non-volatile temporary folder for me is just cache, and /var/lib is named somewhat weird because it doesn't hold what I'd usually call libraries.

  • I did actually use that word, dunno if he knew what that means, but it doesn't really matter

  • They called me recently because I switched to a cheaper provider about a year ago, trying to win me back. When asked what I preferred about my current provider I said "the facts that I pay 10 euros less per month and that I can actually watch YouTube on Saturday evenings"

  • “They burned millions but got nothing.” Japanese game font provider’s aggressive price hike could be result of parent company’s alleged AI failure and financial struggle

  • You can only throw good money after bad money as long as you still have access to good money. I'm sure they're not abandoning these AI projects because they realize a plan that made no sense six months ago still makes no sense today, but rather because of economic reality - if there's no money to budget, corporate lack of agility doesn't matter because the change is enforced externally.

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

    Jump

  • Not really. SATA SSDs make little sense compared to alternatives because SATA isn't fast enough to saturate the drives' throughout. SATA's strength from my point of view comes in when you want to attach lots of storage for cheap, but that's better served with HDDs. Sure, there are cases where you might want the fast access times of SSDs but don't need its bandwidth, and SATA is me ubiquitous than other connectors, but that's an edge case that seems to be no longer economically viable for Samsung.

    Btw, casings that convert M.2 to SATA 3 exist for cheap.

  • If you were an AI, I'd say you're hallucinating.

  • I can, but why would I substantiate a claim that I never made?

  • Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode

  • The average Linux user definitely will not care about reproducibility.

    I think a lot of people do care about it, just not under that name. But I think a lot of users asked themselves at least once "what did I do back then to achieve X". Not in that the whole system is reproduced 1:1, but certain aspects. That's something much easier to answer with nix.

  • Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode

    Jump

  • Well, you don't need to learn nix as a programming language for a simple installation, you can use it like a slightly different json, which the configuration.nix part was about. You can get the reproducibility aspect from just that, so I wouldn't say you get no benefits at all without learning the language.

    There are more disadvantages (like time required to rebuild because you added a single package), so Arch is the better choice depending on preferences. Arch is a very good traditional distribution in my opinion, can't go wrong with it
