I guess I stumbled upon Star Trek on TV here and there, but I really started caring after watching the JJ Abram’s trilogy. There is probably no worse point to enter, but I swear it has its moments

That’s why I Ubuntu without WSL, if at all

Tbf, often there either is no proper one, or you don’t know where to find it. Or there is just tons to unpack, because one thing leads to another and suddenly you have to read like 10.

To give you an example: I just wanted to create a new btrfs software RAID and dissolve my old one, but without loosing the data or redundancy in the process. To do so, I had to create a new partition table, of course not before using tools to find the right device, add a LUKS2 partition, find its UUID, unlock that partition, add a btrfs partition, mount that partition, copy all data over, then generate a keyfile for auto-unlock, add that to the LUKS, add the according crypttab line, remove a drive from the former raid, not before running a balance of course, then also create LUKS on that, find the UUID again, open that as well, add the keyfile again, add another crypttab line, adding the mapper to the btrfs partition, running a balance that creates a RAID 10, adding an fstab entry for auto-mount, runnning dracut and set up btrfs maintenance.

Even just describing the process is a chore. Imagine trying to learn every stept, one by one, from the manuals.

Edit: Some fixes and steps I skipped added. In case anyone is wondering what the heck I’m doing: I am moving from a RAID 1 with 2 disks to an encrypted RAID 10 with eventually 4

Because Python wants you to read it like English:

x is “foo” if y is greater than 5, else it is “bar”

Easily solved by using Rust and have literally anything evaluate your expression and return whatever

That’s what not getting shot and a large role of tape can do to a man

You gotta separate the art from the author. Where else am I gonna get my bee-centric soft porn?

Don’t know about the US, but you can definitely get locked up for war crimes in Germany, no matter where and in what capacity you carried them out

Werewolf? That looks like Chewbacca’s crackhead cousin

Still appreciate the fact that Tesla may not sell the Cybertruck in Germany (and probably other countries as well)

I’m gonna put this out there: If you can do Endeavour or Manjaro, you can do Arch, and Arch is in no way less stable than Tumbleweed. All you need to do is to pick btrfs and enable snapshots and then never use them.

I only know this because of Until Then, which besides some cultural insights gave me emotional trauma

Not to mention those guys had to hunt themselves and probably didn’t shove half a pig per week down their fat throats

I feel like the Brits would say the same, but as a German who had the chance to observe other Germans on vacation, I want to throw in us as well

I went from Tumbleweed to Garuda to Endeavour to plain Arch, so either your graph is off or me. Or both.

If you see someone using it, you should call the police.

Please do. And stress that you are concerned because politicians told you so

There is drone countermeasure stuff being developed and deployed, but its use has to be made legal first. The law doesn’t allow the military to shoot down random things that are not an immediate threat. People love to act like this is ridiculous and a scandal, but considering that tiny drones haven’t really been a problem for decades (and aren’t actually that big of a deal RN), I thinks its reasonable to take a moment and develop procedures…

I mean, everything else would have led to protests, 100%. Imagine letting a company violate domestic law, just because you made a deal with their home nation. That’s not changing policy for money, which is not great to begin with, that’s ignoring law you have already passed for money retroactively

My best guess is that it will take decades to get product safety stuff, environmental and working regulations close enough for this to go through. Otherwise EU countries would sell at a massive disadvantage

If the feeling is mutual, I think there is no point in staying married. Maybe you can keep in touch, if you want to. Distance can sometimes change a relationship for the better. No need to cut her out of your life completely if you don’t want to
