Damn, same, nuked Traefik when v2 broke the setup I spent hours trying to figure out. I don’t think the concepts are overwhelming, but something is profoundly wrong with their documentation habits. Now someone in the comments here is saying v3 changes the way paths are read with regex? Lol, fuck Traefik, never again.

Big mood. It is fucking exhausting explaining basic tech concepts to stakeholders over and over.

Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn’t understand the importance of anything magical.

Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.

“To make my computer do as I wish I simply need to lie about my country of residence. I am very technically adept.”

TBF I do find that confusing. I’m used to human-readable conf files that persist across updates. But I can see how non-technical users might think understanding a collection of tricks is knowledge of their OS.

I wish our indolent government would do its job breaking this shit up.

1. Pay for the hardware

2. Pay for the software

3. Subscribe to your own machine

Get your wallet out, serf. The landlords renting your computer to you need another yacht.

I used to be cynical about the findom stuff, but I guess some people really get off on being forced to subscribe to their own machine.

Oh, interesting. Worth a shot, thank you for the tip.

I hope so. From what I read, my problem is burnt in on some boot ROM, so it may not be fixable. I’m willing to try a different vendor using the same chip.

The dual booting problems are enraging. I somehow have the opposite problem, that it will always boot from the SD if the SD is present during power on. How hard is it to make an alternative boot method button?

I wish I had known this beforehand, I’m sure there are other SBCs with sane booting. I am never buying an Orange Pi again.

Everyone is a slave to systemd. But they seem to kinda like it, whereas Snaps are just raw garbage.

Ubuntu is the Windows 11 of Linuxes.

I tried Nobara and quickly ran into the lone developer problem when it didn’t support secure boot. I don’t really see the point of secure boot when the machine will still accept any USB I stick in there, but most other distros seem to handle it. I didn’t want to spend a lot of time working on it and later find other unsupported things.

So I switched to Bazzite, which other people keep recommending, and that seems to work fine. AMD GPU over here tho, YMMV.

I don’t think those USB cases are priced realistically at all. For what they’re asking I may as well just buy hardware to build a NAS box.

Shouldn’t people familiar with integer arithmetic should be able to struggle to something like x == 2 * (x/2) to test if it is odd or even? Or just bitwise x & 1?

GrAy for Americans and grEy for Europeans. I used to basically flip a coin but I read that mnemonic once and have never forgotten since.

Even the odd numbers stuff? I think interviewers account for nerves and being outside an IDE. You might draw a blank but would you be would be randomly adding things like these did?

This has got me concerned, wondering how do you tell it’s old if the controller is replaced? Are there serials or dates on the other parts or just obvious wear?

Came here to ask about the hours. Some quick searching looked like 5 years is an average time to failure, but that might have been for lower-grade hardware?

I appreciate it. The modern world has destroyed my attention span. But I wouldn’t even need to be awake to read that one.
