The URL can already be longer than the screen to begin with, so they could still do that and show as much as will fit, showing the rest if you click on it. This is already what Firefox does.

I just tried it in Ubuntu 20.04 and it worked. Software Install can open a .deb, it's just not associated with them by default to keep novices from shooting themselves in the foot.

You can download the official installer and install it. That's just not what happens by default when you click on it, because that's not how you get 99% of software on Linux. So if you're doing it that way it's either

It's kind of chicken and egg. Everything ends up on YouTube because people don't have the bandwidth to self-host video, so then people go to YouTube to look for videos. If more of them were self-hosted then the default search meth

The claim was that it made it worse. How is sharing the same /64 worse than sharing the same IPv4 address? On top of that, you don't actually know that it's a /64. The customer could have a /56. The customer could h

IPv6 has enough addresses to use a different address for every outgoing connection. NAT buys you nothing and is only a horrible dumpster fire.

Existing AS numbers are 32-bit, but sure, 24 is probably enough. The problem is with 64-bit addresses you'd only have 40 bits left for the whole AS. They'd quickly run out if they gave each customer a 32-bit block, so they'd

There are various ways to make this less painful. To start with, use anycast DNS so you don't have to type the address of your DNS server(s) into anything, and have a local DNS server with your local names in it so they all still work

The danger now without enough memory is that you're using the SSD for swap. I've seen web browsers eat 16GB of memory by themselves. If you only have 8GB, it might not be that slow anymore, but then you're going to wear out y

That was recently fixed in mdadm. You can now specify a journal device (--write-journal) which closes the write hole. I don't see any reason btrfs couldn't do something equivalent.
