I thought it was implied that bin vs sbin is a permissions thing. What is outdated in that link? I use Fedora 39 Atomic and, as far as I can tell, even it follows these conventions (and even added /var/userlocal for themselves).

Yes, /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin is for the package manager vs user compiled. The link I posted mentioned it. But separating bin from sbin is more of a permissions thing. I suppose you could set permissions individu

1. /bin (and /sbin) were intended for programs that needed to be on a small / partition before the larger /usr, etc. partitions were mounted. These days, it mostly serves as a standard location for key programs like &

You might be interested in Fedora's Atomic desktops. They are immutable OS's where you don't spread crap all over the filesystem. Instead you rely on flatpaks, containers (toolbox or distrobox), and single binaries (if you go

The Windows Program Files style directories might make sense to you on a single user workstation. But on a multi-user server, its a security nightmare.

Someone decided to shoehorn Windows Program Files into Linux? Yikes. Jokes aside, this completely ignores the fact that there is a reason for /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin and /etc and the sbin directories. A lot

Why even cut the cables? Wouldn't they just back out the tensors at the anchors and do it all under control?

I wasn't really timing it, but it felt fine, especially since it prints out while generating. The 13B model on the 5600X is about 10 seconds. Tho once the conversation gets too long (about 10 replies) it will go sideways. I gotta play

So I just installed the Google Gemini app on my (completely stock) Pixel 7 and let it replace the normal Google Assistant. This is half baked AF. It can't create reminders in Google's own Tasks app. It can't control Spotify.

Yes! Learning to edit config.sys and autoexec.bat (from a book) for games was probably the catalyst that pushed me into IT.
