„If you want to walk the path of true digital minimalism, vanilla Vim and tmux or its spiritual grandfather screen are all you need.“

I think I‘ve been walking this path for twenty years now.

Ad 1: the glass roof might take care of that.

This is really an unfortunate name - literally „snot“ in German.
My guess is „Lennart Poettering“.

How does immutable work in regard to databases? As in „we need to add a column“?

If you try to use a hammer like a screwdriver, you’re going to be frustrated.

I still deploy Apache httpd, because that’s what I know best, and it works.
Private Relay does work, but it circumvents the Pihole (so no adblocking).
Any server that must not fail is just not important enough.

(Build your services with HA in mind, so you don‘t have to worry about a situation like this one.)

Just here[0] they say that that’s a myth. I don‘t know what to believe anymore.

Exactly my thoughts. The Bialetti wouldn‘t have been the success it is if you had to make a science out of it.

A decent database has transactions, so you can rollback your fat-fingered queries.

From the UX point of view I very much prefer the oldschool way of „ticked“/„nonticked“ instead of „left/right“ switch.

I was hoping for the same. Still have the 1531 lying in the attic (next to the C16).

Had the same issue with „Before Sunrise“, set in Vienna. Hawke and Delpy walk from one cut to the next in minutes, what IRL would have taken them half an hour on public transport.

Yes, that‘s correct.

And then Google decides for no discernable reason to lock your account, making it impossible to login _anywhere_.

I get the convenience and also the security benefits, but there‘s a whole lot of risk, too.

Re:A response to the git.centos.org changes on Tuesday June 27, 2023 @01:00AM (#36489084)
I honestly thought distro wars were a thing of the past and settled a decade ago.

And by settled I mean "who cares as long as it's not Windows?".

re 2) - we once fell into this marketing trap of "Oracle runs best on Oracle". If it only were true!

We had Oracle databases running on Oracle Solaris running on Oracle SPARC servers, because the bosses were convinced of the synergies. When the problems started (with Solaris zone clusters) it was a happy merry-go-round of fingerpointing between Oracle support groups.

Oracle is on a rather short list of companies I'll try to avoid doing business with if at all possible.
