Re:Why I Stopped Arguing with People

I usually ask people straight at that point whether they want solutions for me or if they just want me to listen with empathically.
Depends on the person how I bring this though, but it tends to work.

You just put words to something I felt, but could not entirely find the words for.

Yes and no.
Although I’m a proponent of the “put the pain where it belongs” way of doing things, sometimes a more nuanced way of doing things is needed. This usually involves more communication instead of less.
You can always give them feedback that (may) make them reconsider their approach of just stating things and not asking questions.
Small effort for you, but you might change someone’s way of asking things, both for the good of you and them.
If that doesn’t work, you can always go back to ignoring.

Really interesting, thanks for letting us know. There hasn't been a lot of new about this (not that I've been looking that long), is there a place to follow up on these developments, a roadmap of sorts?
Edit: Misread, thought this was about the "normal" Proxmox web UI. Any plans to make that Rust based?

I'm aware of most of the problems with the behaviour of Linus in the past, but reading over this post on the mailing list actually comes over pretty civilized. No name calling, no big drama (compared to the past), just giving some clear boundaries to someone who is not doing things like they should be done.
As someone said here, it comes of a bit infantile to expect special treatment for your project, IMO.

I found these two episodes of the “Fall of civilizations” podcast to be very informative about the Sumerians and Assyrians.
It’s episode 8[1] and 13[2], definitely worth a listen in my opinion.

Maybe you know already, but you can use an IRC relay to act as pseudo client, connect to that and then read back on messages. You’ll have to find a place to host it though.
For example, “The Lounge”.

Re:Xrdp: An open source RDP server

I used this as a solution for remote workers in my company. Set up rdp on Windows with 24-bit color and select "LAN" connectivity improves sluggishnes.
It takes a bit of tinkering to get the xRDP config working well, but when it works, it's really smooth.
I used X over RDP. Make sure no users are locally logged in before logging in via RDP.

- !$ represents the argument of the previous command. $_ should also work.

Do some puzzles(wargames). For example: http://overthewire.org/wargames/
It will make you search for several special use cases and will give you some experience with the command line. Basically, you SSH into a box, solve a problem and the solution for that problem is the password for the next SSH connection for the next problem.
This one is for beginners: http://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/

Even if cloned, these birds won't come back as a whole. The instinct and habits of the original passenger pigeons are gone. It's like cloning a mammoth from a elephant, only to see it live like an elephant.
