  • Fuck past me! That guy has fucked me over in more ways than I can count. And Fuck future me too! That guy is pissed at me for reasons I can't possibly fathom. And fuck present me! That guy be lazy AF.

  • Uh huh, hey, why don't these job numbers reports ever talk about whether these new jobs are keeping up with the cost of living? Seems like it'd be important to discern how many jobs are paying minimum wage and how many are paying enough to actually afford to survive longer than the next 24 fucking hours. Oh, and how many of these new jobs are union jobs that protect worker's rights? Pretty fucking important bits of information to just never ever report...

  • I "elect" the leader I've been brainwashed by a nationwide cult of personality to believe is infallible, all powerful, all knowing, and completely benevolent... or else...

  • Turn off JavaScript by default, and then allow JS through piecemeal using an extension like NoScript. You'd be surprised how much of the internet is still accessible and cleaned up without it, and when you do let JS through, you have a good idea of who's collecting your data and even a good guess as to specifically why.

  • Truly doing god's work, you fucking monsters.

  • Lol, backups are necessary regardless of your OS unless you don't value any of your data at all, which tbh, anyone who says that is lying and/or stupid.

    I used to use Timeshift, but have even had that screwup an install once on which I had to perform a complete reinstall. Now I just rsync almost everything once a month, including /usr and other root directories.

    Ideal backup solution for home use is a cron job set to rsync backups to an external RAID NAS both on premises and off premises, as well as an external hard drive you can stash in a backpack should your place catch on fire. Rule of 3s.

    As an aside, I gave up on Flatpak. It's a good idea, but has just as many issues as your various package managers if not worse as it can cause conflicting library redundancies in my experience.

  • That's so cool! Thank you again for your answers!

  • Hi Karim! Thank you for your work on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy! I've thoroughly enjoyed your work in particular on the show!

    The character of Jay-Den has broken with what many fans have considered to be canonically or at least, stereotypically Klingon, and the show has drawn some criticism for this.

    Others have praised the writing and your acting as Jay-Den for redefining or at least recontextualizes what being Klingon ultimately means in a Universe that embraces and cultivates people of infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

    I was wondering if you could speak to the challenges you may have had in the endeavor to portray Jay-Den given this context?

    It is obvious you did your research for the role beforehand and I can only imagine it must have been somewhat intimidating portraying a character on a major franchise that breaks with what some fans consider canon while also pushing the inclusivity of the Star Trek Universe forward.

    I'll reiterate my thanks in advance to you for doing this AMA.

  • We could always bring back the ancient practice of elinguation.

  • The AUR is the Arch User Repository. All it is is User uploaded software packages with a script that Arch Linux and its many derivatives recognize and know how to utilize to install a piece of software and the necessary libraries/dependencies on your system.

    It is similar to Debian based systems when you install software that's not in the officially repos by appending an unofficial mirror to :

     
        
    /etc/sources.list.d
    
      

    Take installing Mullvad VPN on Debian for example. It's not in the official repos, so you have to tell apt where to go get it.

    Paru and Yay are what are known as AUR Helpers. All they are doing is automating the update process of the packages you installed from the AUR, which normally you'd have to update one by one manually. They also can help you easily search the AUR from the command line.

    In essence, they are wrappers around pacman and makepkg.

    Flatpak is different in that it is an OS agnostic package manager that sandboxes applications away from the main OS and essentially downloads/installs all its libraries and dependencies into ~/.local/share/flatpak instead of /usr/lib, though this is a vast oversimplification.

    Very basically, paru/yay says "We install stuff on Arch and Arch based distros from unofficial, user maintained sources and keep them up to date so you don't have to update them one by one once installed. When possible, you should probably default to just installing with pacman and using the official repos though."

    Very basically Flatpak says "I don't care if I'm run on Debian, Arch, Gentoo, whatever, I'm bringing all my system libraries with me cuz I don't know what version of what is on here, and I just need this app to run right the fuck now. So even though it's heavier and less efficient, here's plumbing and the kitchen sink so you have running water right fucking now. BTW, you probably shouldn't run anything installed with me as root."

    This is a very oversimplified explanation, but hopefully that helps clear things up for you.

  • Thanks for the share! Looking forward to this.

  • Oh man...I love these comics, but this one is the first of the KOG series I've seen that gut punches me a bit...damn.

  • Yes, OP probably means monotasking.

  • My use case for Linux is very minimal, so I can't say I know your particular use case, but what drivers do you have issues with? Purely out of curiosity.

  • Oh yeah, I'm sure going to ChatGPT rather than the handbook for installing Gentoo will go just fine.

  • Molly White does a better job at explaining what Ghost is than I could. She did so on Ed Zitron's podcast, Better Offline a little while back. Sorry, but other than that I'd just do some more research.

    Here is said episode.

  • I've been using Links for years. I rarely meet another Links user, as TUI web browser use is rare in and of itself, and most go to w3m or lynx from what I've seen.

    TUI browsers are surprisingly capable of getting you around the web even with more limited features, as long as you mainly are focused on accessing public text documents and communications.

    I know one of the main uses I saw some utilizing Links for was when it was recommended during the Gentoo installation process when you had to download a stage 3 tarball. Most just had another browser or used a different Linux iso during installation, but if you were installing via the tty, and had no other device with a web browser on it, that was (and still is) a solid choice for finding and downloading the needed tarball.

    Anyways, just a bit of lore. My only complaint with Links is it doesn't let you change the keybindings and they default to emacs. No shade to emacs, but I am and probably always will be a vim user,so there's that. Other than that I'll always be a big fan of Links.
