It kinda is, and kinda not. https://github.com/ghuntley/cursed <-- this was the result of letting it burn tokens for 3 months

When you do fix it, the internet would appreciate a follow up comment on what you did to fix the problem

Sounds like your /etc/fstab is wrong. You should be using UUID based mounting rather than /dev/sdXY. Very likely you’ll need to boot from a usb stick with a rescue image (the installer image should work), and fix up /etc/fstab using blkid

Spicy hay! nom nom

Vibecode something? Fair warning that vibecoding android apps is fraught with peril. Be very explicit in what versions of android and the SDK in your prompt.

SQLite doesn’t do highly concurrent tasks. Your life will be much, much better if you don’t even try.

One small counter point, with WAL, it is much more feasible to manage more concurrency.

It also doesn’t do Windows shared files, because any access into Windows shared files is highly concurrent on the speeds Windows is able to manage its shares.

I didn’t know this! But then again, I don’t think I’ve ever used sqlite on windows before.

They lie. Wikipedia has plenty of money. Do not give those parasites any more.

The lack of cache on the Celeron CPUs really hurt performance, even if you could overclock. And if you ever touched swap on the spinning rust, it only compounded.

It got so big so fast. You’re absolutely right. The movie Antitrust (basically a david/goliath allegory between FOSS and Microsoft) came out in 2001! Linux and FOSS had become mainstream enough to end up in a hollywood movie where even the onscreen time of the computers showed legit shells and stuff. Now Linux literally runs on billions of devices, and powers the backend of a majority of companies. Even Microsoft did a 180(-ish) and maintain their own distro for their cloud shit, made .net cross platform to run on Linux, etc.

Doing a stage 1 gentoo, or LFS can be tedious but fun. When CPUs were a lot slower, getting the whole distro compiled under all of compiler optimizations that you could muster would actually make a difference in terms of performance.

Right? I started futzing with different distros (all two/three of them, lol) in the mid to late 90s. Had zero clue how new all of this stuff actually was at the time. It felt like a super power to run something other than DOS/Win9{5,8}/NT4. No stupid software keys. Could easily run network services, etc.

The 2020s are great and can recommend. The M2026W I have still works great when we occasionally need to print something like a shipping label.

When this happens, I feel like this

If some nefarious actor wants to target me and steal my work laptop out of the work bag with the work logo on it, 🤷. I just work there, bro. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

silicon valley tech bro VCs, so yeah

Uh, ACKUALLY, these should be called GNU/Linux because without the Global Nutrition United’s packaging, these cookies would impossible to ship on there own

haha, yeah I am well aware I could do something like that. Unfortunately, once you start working for larger companies, your options for solutions to problems typically shrink dramatically and also need to fit into neat little boxes that someone else already drew. And our environment rules are so draconian, that we cannot use k8s to its fullest anyhow. Most of the people I work with have never actually touched k8s, much less any kind of server oriented UNIX. Thanks for the advice though.

This kinda functionality is surprisingly apropos to a problem I have a work, I realize. And yet, I have k8s. More and more I am appreciating the niche systemd can play with pets instead of cattle and wished corps weren’t jumping to managed k8s and all of that complexity it entails immediately.
