It’s really funny because Cory always champions POSSE. Post (on)own site, share everywhere.

And it’s funny because he mostly does that.

Lol,maybe because Hezbollah rockets are getting launched and we’d like to shoot them down before US personnel are killed potentially escalating this even further?

I think you are obligated to share your entire known hosts file to prove this.

The nextcloud snap is the best and easiest way to selfhost nextcloud.

I said it. Fight me.

The “coreutils” that macos uses by default are all older shitter bsd versions. I discovered this when half of my scripts and commands didnt work properly.

Silly me thought I could just bring my cash scripts over and not have any major issues (I’m not doing anything crazy). But even something as simple as grep didn’t work right because it could recursively search directories in the old bad version Mac comes with.

All of the gnu versions are much better and you can install them with homebrew.

Would you mind educating us plebs then? I had a similar question to op, and I can assure you, I definitely don’t understand local auth services the way I probably should.

Newborn diapers.

Get the cheapest Walmart special you can find. Newborns don’t poop or pee enough to warrant fussing over fancy diapers.

Once they get bigger and the contents start getting…bigger, then spend more on better diapers.

This is solid advice. If you buy a cheap one and use it so much it breaks, you’ll know you use it enough to warrant a nicer one.

Unless you copy and paste. In which case just stab yourself in the eye of you are using tmux.

If you already use pop with the cosmic plugin, it’s going to be a better version of that. If you use something else then I’m not sure why youd care tbh.

Maybe I don’t keep my finger on the pulse of this stuff the way I should, but what’s the main benefit of 24.04? Pop updates the kernel and packages already. The main benefit we would get is newer gnome which… obviously isnt a development priority for them since it’s going away.

What are we missing out on?

It could take that long. I was wondering if Ubuntu is 24.10 /25.04, 25.10, and 26.04 if pop will align their alpha2, beta, and official release with the Ubuntu release schedule.

I know they said something about a yearly release cadence for cosmic but I’m sure that’s once it’s officially in production.

That said, as far as an alpha goes, it’s much more polished than a typical alpha. The path from here to beta might be faster than we think.

Pop devs never shied away from releasing with non LTS releases though and since one of their main pain points with releases was always gnome + cosmic plugins I’m not sure how their dependency on Ubuntu releases is affected.

I was super nervous for cosmic because I love pop. I didn’t want them to bungle it and force me to distro hop. The alpha made me way less nervous and much more excited.

Whatever they do, whenever they release, I just hope they get it right! Small bugs are fine but major crashes would make me very sad.

It might be worth taking a step back and looking at your objective with all of this and why you are doing it in the first place.

If it’s for privacy, then unfortunately that ship has sailed when it comes to email. It’s the digital equivalent of a post card. It’s inherently not private. Nothing you do will make it private. Even services like proton Mail aren’t private–unless you only email other people on proton.

I appreciate wanting to control your own destiny with it but there are much more productive things you could be spending your time on the improve your privacy surface area.

I switched from Nvidia for amd for the same reason: “and is better on Linux”.

In my experience you are just making different tradeoffs. I use pop so your mileage may vary but Nvidia was easy to use and upgrade. It’s not nearly as bad as people let on.

AMD on the other hand isn’t as seamless as people let on. And the open source drivers, while awesome, don’t let you take advantage of the codecs for video streaming or even alot of the AI ML stuff, so you switch to the proprietary drivers and they are slightly buggy.

I wish I kept my 3070ti over the 6900xt.

Unless they figure out a way to let me use av1 or rocm more easily then my next card will be Nvidia again.

And roll it out in a controlled fashion: 1% of machines, 10%, 25%…no issues? Do the rest.

How this didn’t get caught by testing seems impossible to me.

The implementation/rollout strategy just seems bonkers. I feel bad for all of the field support guys who have had there next few weeks ruined, the sys admins who won’t sleep for 3 days, and all of the innocent businesses that got roped into it.

A couple local shops are fucked this morning. Kinda shocked they’d be running crowd strike but also these aren’t big businesses. They are probably using managed service providers who are now swamped and who know when they’ll get back online.

One was a bakery. They couldn’t sell all the bread they made this morning.

If it’s working again all of the sudden I would lean towards f2b. I don’t know what your “timeout” is, but if f2b got tripped it would explain why you couldn’t get in yesterday but today it works (assuming your ban expires in 24hrs or so).

How does zellij do copy and paste? That’s the only thing keeping me from diving into tmux (beyond using it as a persistent terminal).

GPU with a ton of vran is what you need, BUT

An alternate solution is something like a Mac mini with an m series chip and 16gb of unified memory. The neural cores on apple silicon are actually pretty impressive and since they use unified memory the models would have access to whatever the system has.

I only mention it because a Mac mini might be cheaper than GPU with tons of vram by a couple hundred bucks.

And it will sip power comparatively.

4090 with 24gb of vram is $1900 M2 Mac mini with 24gb is $1000

He didn’t. He wanted freax or something dumb. Someone talked him into Linux.

I switched the the snap package and it’s been rock solid and pain free the entire time.

I welcome any and all comments on why snap is Satan.
