  • Fedora 42 installer defaults to btrfs? What's everyone's opinion or experience on that?

    Jump

  • I guess I just feel like if you're manually configuring BTRFS you'll either use it like a regular FS, or you'll set it up to make use of the features in which case you'll probably setup both automatic snapshots and cleanup. Possibly with auto scrubbing too. I don't really see a situation where someone who manually opts to use it sets up snapshotting manually and then doesn't setup any form of cleanup.

  • If you're running btrfs manually and don't setup clean up scripts I'm slightly confused how you get into trouble in the first place since that also means there won't be any automated snapshots.

  • I switched from macos to Linux because it can't stop babying users and being unnecessarily restrictive

  • There are several different distro's built on asahi IIRC, asahi is more of a Mac platform for distro's than a distro itself if I understand the project correctly.

  • js is in the "pure embodiment of hell" category along with vb.net and php

  • I feel like malbolge is a much better fit for chaotic evil than brain fuck is but I agree with the rest

  • Does this exist anywhere outside of C++?

  • That is pretty much what it does except it doesn't hardcode \n but instead uses the proper line ending for the platform it's running on.

  • Synapse is the epitome of this

  • Am in the only one who cringes at install instructions that require piping some curl output into bash?

  • I'm not sure that would've made a difference. It already makes you go out of your way to force a broken package. This has been discussed in places before but the simple fact of the matter is a user that doesn't understand what they're doing will perservere. Putting up barriers is a good thing to do to protect users, spending all your time and effort to cover every edge case is a waste of time because users will find ways to shoot themselves in the foot.

  • I also feel incredibly uncomfortable with this. Ultimately it comes down to if you trust the application or not. If you do then this isn't really a problem as regardless they're getting code execution on your machine. If you don't, well then don't install the application. In general I don't like installing applications that aren't from my distro's official repositories but mostly because I like knowing at least they trust it and think it's safe, as opposed to any software that isn't which is more of an unknown.

    Also it's unlikely for the script to be malicious if the application is not. Further, I'm not sure a manual install really protects anyone from anything. Inexperienced users will go through great lengths and jump through some impressive hoops to try and make something work, to their own detriment sometimes. My favorite example of this is the LTT Linux challenge. apt did EVERYTHING it could think to do to alert that the steam package was broken and he probably didn't want to install it, and instead of reading the error he just blindly typed out the confirmation statement. Nothing will save a user from ruining their system if they're bound and determined to do something.

  • Well yeah, we all know Minecraft's code is terrible. I just never felt like it was noticeable without mods

  • Huh, not my experience but last time I operated a public server was beta 1.7 days. It was bukkit which I believe was a separate impl which maybe was faster? But I don't recall having nearly that many issues, was vanilla outside of bukkit plugins though.

  • It's not like the Java server is slow tho, it only becomes a problem when mods are added and rust servers can't run Java mods so it's a moot point. Maybe if you want an insanely large number of players on a single server?

  • Tbh writing a Minecraft server isn't anywhere on my list of projects to write to learn a new language but you also aren't wrong, just wouldn't be what I'd choose
