If you actually try to understand what’s happening, I think it’s one of the best ways to learn how a system is composed, at least if you install manually. What’s a partition, file system, what does mounting do, chroots, you name it.
I don’t use Arch anymore but still think it’s a great distro to learn the basics while still having the luxury of new binary packages. Manual Arch install abstracts basically nothing away from you, for better or for worse.
Currently on NixOS, I’d say while its engineering is better overall, the things you learn there are much more distribution-specific or maybe concept-specific and often not applicable to other distributions.
I guess there are also probably ways to install e.g. Debian manually, I’ve never seen instructions for it though as there was always the focus on the installer, and frankly I’m not a big fan of apt and all. It always seemed to be much more convoluted than pacman plus it does a lot of stuff for you, whether you want it or not was my impression.
Hey, I never said this is what people want, just that it is in fact a transferrable skill. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone just trying to get their machine running, but if you’re looking to gain some insight, is not the worst choice.
Interesting how similar our distro careers are. My switch was also after a long time (15 years). Wouldn’t go back to Arch. Still think it’s a good distro for what it’s trying to achieve.
Am a little bit surprised by his nativity given his experience. When I was in the forces, I always learned in training that urban warfare is a meat grinder and that the attackers will lose a multiple of men of the defenders (5 to 1 or so? It’s over 15 years ago). Can only have gotten worse with drones which bring the threat of aerial forces to urban warfare. Don’t know what he expected.
Also I wouldn’t count on the Chinese comrady as much once life is actually on the line. Their military mostly had experience bullying. However, I think I’m case of an invasion of Taiwan, things would look somewhat different.
As a proponent of psychedelics, this can’t be the solution. The fact that 25% of the population is impacted enough to warrant a prescription is scary, but psychs won’t fix it long term. The underlying societal issues need to be tackled.
If an end of war with reparations was the goal, this is what Russia would request, not a ceasefire. A ceasefire is just a way to continue a war later with greater intensity.
Ich hoffe auch, dass die Klage Erfolg hat, sehe es allerdings auch nicht als sehr wahrscheinlich. Ich vermute, wie schon geschrieben wurde, dass Amazon sich auf den Standpunkt berufen wird, Prime sei kein Vertrag mit einer fixen Laufzeit, für den man bezahlt, sondern quasi etwas, was tageweise gebucht wird und nur aus Gründen der vereinfachten Abrechnung für längere Zeiträume gezahlt wird. Jede Kunde hat die Möglichkeit, Prime jederzeit tagesaktuell zu kündigen, das ist kein Sonderrecht bei Vertragsänderung, sondern deren Praxis (auch wenn natürlich wieder hinter einem Dark Pattern versteckt). Bei einer sofortigen Kündigung wird daher auch die Restlaufzeit anteilig ausgezahlt.
For years Dota players have argued that having to click the enemy hero to see their mana is peak game design. It was very rare to see anyone argue on favor of it. Better late than never I guess?
I know you’re joking anyways, but I always cringe when I see that. There’s no need to invoke su there. If you want a root shell, use sudo -s or sudo -i depending on what kind of shell you want.
