I’m not sure how long ago “not that long ago” is for you - I just had a look through the history of KDE and, based on my familiarity with the various screen images posted there, I think is about 20 years since I last tried it :-)
I’ll have a look at cinnamon and cosmic - thanks.
I’ve thought about trying a tiling window manager, but I don’t think I’d get the benefit. I don’t really do a lot these days and normally just have one or two things going concurrently and with two screens that’s trivial to layout.
The main thing I struggle with (with my old eyes) is things like Firefox that override the normal window manager decorations - I find the edges get lost and they blend into each other. A tiling window manager would help with this, but I just turned off Firefox’s ability to do that.
Oh damn what were your reasons for moving from freebsd back to Linux?
My work was AIX, HP/UX and a bit of Solaris. Linux development was starting to get to the stage where our customers were looking at using it for “real” workloads and I figured I should get comfortable with it again so I’d be in a position to take on production servers at work.
I don’t think I’m concerned about being on older (stable) stuff - I really only use Firefox (I dumped the Debian release and added the Firefox repository) and a few utilities like a music player etc.
I was also considering openSUSE Tumbleweed and didn’t really decide not to do it - it’s just that a USB with Debian was sitting on my desk when I decided to do it, so that’s what I used. A big part of my anxiety about switching from Windows was getting my data under control - now that I’ve done that it won’t be an issue to switch distros so I might give it a go. I may even try Slackware again now that you’ve got me thinking about it.
I thought about that, and we have space available because my wife is still paying for office for her machine, but I just want nothing to do with Microsoft any more.
Because I only used it for a few months and it was a while ago! It was ony mentioned to age me. Not long after I installed it we got nice new RS/6000 860 laptops and I ran an AIX desktop for a couple of years. Then we got Intel laptops and Windows.
I went with Debian because I’ve been running Ubuntu servers at home for years (since zfs on Linux became solid enough that I could switch from FreeBSD) so I’m comfortable with apt package management and wanted to stick with that. I didn’t want to stay with Ubuntu because of the commercialisation creeping in.
Don’t remove cron
Oops, too late. It’s just a very simple single purpose system - I can deal with broken things and removing cron on this box is kinda a test to see what breaks. I checked the apt cron jobs and they also seemed to be duplicated as systemd timers - but it wasn’t a very thorough check. My logs show apt-daily.service being run daily by systemd.
I also dislike organisationed religion and was tempted to upvote this. But I don’t think we can get rid of it by simply killing the leaders, or any other magic wand. I think having moderate religious leaders in place while it slowly dies out is the best we can hope for.
This thread is my first introduction to mesh and am curious if it might be worth investigating further. I looked at the map above and see that my nearest “neighbour” is about 900km away, then I see your post where you seem happy that you got 60 miles. I guess things would be quite for me for a looong time if I built a node.
what gets removed along with cron when you try?
# apt-get --dry-run purge cron cron-daemon-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
cron* cron-daemon-common*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Purg cron [3.0pl1-162]
Purg cron-daemon-common [3.0pl1-162]
nothing!
Does not seem be work universally - I use Jerboa on android and just see “pp” (tilde pp tilde)
Yeah. Someone else suggested it might cover your first ambulance ride. I’m thinking maybe your first year health insurance?
Edit - it was just a wild guess, but here’s a badly formatted table copied from an article in Forbes:
Age of member Average monthly costs
So, for my age, my guess was almost exactly right!
And that Barilla pasta (at least the stuff sold in Canada) is made in the USA.
And he was the medical director of AmeriHealth Caritas with about 5 million people in 13 states under his care. Also, I don’t believe for 1 second that his views are unique in a profit driven health care industry - the whole concept of profit driven health care is obscene.
Probably basmati
As an Australian living in Canada, I’m far from an expert on this stuff, but it seems to me the main benefit of something like this is visibility - he had (I believe) 10s of millions of views over the various platforms it was streaming on. Hopefully some of those people were not previously engaged and now are. It’s a start.
so where the fuck is all the money going?
its going to all the fucking billionaires
Lol - my wife has a 6 Pro - that’s the fancy new phone in the house
This is what it feels like. But if it is Doze then it’s really broken - because it happens when my phone is plugged in and charging!
And if they don’t like the look of you, or your proof of citizenship, and decide detain and deport you - what recourse do you have?
I’m thinking that you used “akschuelly” to make this a joke? It hasn’t really worked.
