In other words, in 16 years of dh being a thing it still hasn't acquired decent documentation, and how you're pushing another solution which is going to be undocumented for another 16-18 years. It's not just "my" ra

Oh boy. Just as dh almost managed to push all other package helpers out of existence, at least for official packages: https://trends.debian.net I don't think it's fair to expect third-party developers to keep track of

This is because it doesn't do very much. Arch Linux's PKGBUILD and Alpine's APKBUILD are an excellent improvement on that, still very simple to use and learn. In most cases the source package consists of a single shell script

OEM licenses are not exactly free or cheap. I was perusing the local shops a couple of weeks ago and the same exact laptop without a Windows Home license is always $100 cheaper, no exceptions. More than that for Pro or whatever the fuck it&

Definitely not. Many anime release groups are early adopters of new video coding standards. It was the first popular media that saw heavy use of AVC back in probably 2006 or so, then HEVC (roughly in 2014 or thereabouts), then AV1 (since ~2

mpv (definitely the best player for advanced users) does not use it by default. I'll simply quote `man mpv`: > Hardware decoding is not enabled by default, to keep the out-of-the-box configuration as reliable as possible. However, w

Accessible to whom? I'll bring the usual argument that most media is not available in my country, and many other countries. They simply don't sell it to us here, and services like Netflix are either unavailable (although Netflix i

libvirt ships with virt-install which also allows for quickly creating and auto-installing Windows and many Linux distributions. I haven't tried it with mac. Here's a recent example with Alma Linux: $ virt-install --name alma9

Not really. qBittorent is built on Qt (thus the prefix), and has a hand-rolled webui in pure html + css + js (with a couple of helper libraries, but no heavy frameworks): https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/

That would present a problem if anyone mentions nftables, the main command to manage your firewall is named `nft` https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/nftables

It doesn't really matter much in practice. The built-in adblocker (which does not rely on extension APIs) has excellent performance, about as effective as ublock origin, and supports the same filter lists.

Just write a systemd unit. These commands are not any easier to support and are far worse from the purely technical point of view. You'll get: - startup only when the network is up - proper logging - automatic restarts on failure - opt

They also get more efficient at filtering out PM the dirtier they are, not less.

Air purifiers do not filter dust and should never be bought for that purpose. > You don't just clean a filter and say I KNOW there is 12 months more. You do, I have been using two for about 6 years, and you can easily get at least 3

There are many clones with RFID tags that get accepted as originals. They're even being sold as clones with generic brand names or no brand name at all. If the tag is there to prove that you've bought an authentic filter, it'

They have a history of doing things with negative financial consequences just to make a point on some sociopolitical issue. I can't remember a single "just another company" off the top of my head that conducts business in thi

I meant installing just what you need, like web servers and such. Probably should have written that in the original comment. You need to do that on any other operating system anyway, including any of the BSDs. If you just need a plain syste

The first point equally applies to Alpine and any system built from Debian minimal install ("built" is too strong a word, all you need to do is `apt install` several packages).

I was using dial-up up to 2008, included. It could push 10 megabytes an hour at best, and even that only late at night. An hour of dial-up was on the order of 0.05-0.1% of a typical monthly salary back then. So even if you were willing to s

https://rtings.com is pretty good, they're sponsored by readers just like CR.

I've been pretty happy with purelymail.com. It's really cheap (~$10 a year) and has unlimited mailboxes and domains, perfect for low volume. The downside is that it's a one man operation, so if you need more reliability for t
