Could be that I misread but I think you’re misunderstanding types in Typescript.

You have an array of 1 or 2 values of unbounded size. You put two values in but could have put 1000 in, your type doesn’t say anything about that. You can only put ones or twos in there though.

I think your first line is equivalent to saying:

type MyStringType = string[];

I haven’t checked though so I might be wrong…

Oh so many fun adventures, too much to count… But a few nice ones:

• HDD died, so ran a desktop system over network from a NAS (nfs) without HDD… for months.
• Rebuilding a corrupted system (any bit advanced tools wouldn’t start anymore, like apt).
• Custom bootable live cd based on Linux From Scratch (around 2002).
• Anything related to Kerberos and NFS4.
• Replacing syscalls to run software from a ramdrive that would otherwise not work.
• Recently using debootstrap to install Kubuntu with a ZFS root, which went surprisingly smooth and pretty easy.

I love Linux for all these insane possibilities.

Hosting a Gitlab for work and for my private projects I agree. The CI/CD is excellent and I really like the way they handle issues and merge-requests. Gitlab is great but quite a beast, so throw some good CPU and fast storage at it.

I tried OVH last year as a CDN for out site and the interface and features were either horribly slow or severely lacking. I hope they can use this as an impulse to improve their services. At least the Azure interfaces are also dogslow so not much competition there. Scaleway was pretty good but their support was hopelessly bad and it was too bad they nixed their arm64 offerings.

It is a nice look into the switch from a perspective of a windows user. But since he is experimenting there is a also a lot of bad choices or wrong information.

He gripes about things not going smoothly while replacing his whole desktop environment (when was the last time you replaced your explorer.exe?).

And clamping to old ways of doing things. Which is understandable but would go a lot better with a little bit of guidance. Why force Chrome while Firefox was probably pre-installed or Chromium also works. Using Filezilla while Dolphin can probably do it in an integrated way. Using Notepad++ while Kate probably covers most of his use-cases.

This doesn’t invalidate his experiences but it does indicate a resistance to switch.

There is some valid criticisms as well though. The docking station that bugs out or KDE Connect that is confused. We can improve those things, but hardly force Logitech to bring their (horrible) software suite to Linux.

Maybe he should give it another few weeks to actually feel that while his old ways might not transfer over 1:1 the new ways give him a lot more power.

Hmm, the years are a bit faded but first install of Redhat in 1996-7 somewhere as a short experiment, then Slackware, SuSE, LFS, Gentoo, and since then lazy with Kubuntu… Might switch again soon with the Snap fiasco.

The BOFH and his PFY are still helping their users…

When traveling I use GPSLogger and automatically upload the tracks to a private Nextcloud (but it supports more upload options). The map is shared with friends and family.

You can use OSMAnd to visualize your tracks.

Works pretty well so far… This is all Android based ofcourse.

Took 'em long enough…

As I mentioned in another comment it plays quite well. At least with the Steam Index that I use. Most games seem to work out of the box. One thing that isn’t currently implemented is BT communication with the lighthouses which is a bit annoying but there are other apps and tools to workaround that.

I also run on Linux exclusively and I could play Half-Life Alex almost flawlessy on the Steam Index. And other VR games as well, including Beatsaber, Gorn, Walkabout Golf and many others. I’m really grateful to Valve and their Proton.

De planken zijn in deze context de vloer van een theaterpodium. Een voorstelling kan op de planken zijn, oftewel, nu actueel in het theater. Dit is ook waar plankenkoorts of -vrees het meest voorkomt. De planken zijn dus het podium. Zie ook podiumvrees.

Geen idee voor een beter online woordenboek… Je had vroeger een spreekwoordenboek in dooie-boom versie :)

Kind of ironic that the people joined facebook groups for that…

Ha yeah, thats accurate enough. I had some cool tracker software that could even render some discolights flashing to the music. Great way to enjoy electronice music before MP3’s where a thing. Especially since you needed about three disks per song to transfer them :p

Mod files played with tracker software. They were awesome at the time (and still are).

Try sunglasses? But maybe other souls can still be saved from evil…

Disadvantage: you’re now using a browser from the biggest spy ad-ware company and killed web heterogeneity.

Try: Firefox from Mozilla-Team PPA

Add Microsoft to that first list. Many people are way too locked into their crappy software ecosystem.

Apparently not for Europe

Thanks for that little riddle, managed to solve it (with the hint) during my morning coffee.
