Can’t be responsible for a global IT shutdown when you’re only a couple percent of the user base!

You forget servers, network appliances, and other infrastructure? That's where the bulk of Linux lives, not on Desktops.

ekky ,

Nuh-uh, I saw a Steam survey that said that less than two percent of computers use Linux!

What do you mean by “the headless internet backbone servers, Android phones, and smart appliances don’t have Steam”?

jettrscga ,

The latest steam survey says 2.08% use Linux.

That’s more than 2%, I bet you feel pretty ridiculous now!

ekky ,

The absolute ridicule! I’m sorry, but I might not survive this! How could this come to be?!

This has happened and taken a bunch of services down around the world.

What a garbage.

Just use Linux, SELinux, strong sandboxing, repositories, nonexecutable home directories, strong access control, offline backups.

And log monitoring with off machine collections

How about a testing environment separate from production

and phased rollouts …

I watched a ocean of computers go dead on the floor because I couldn’t convince the sysadmin to do exactly that when pushing a major change.

Any more details?

This sounds like the setup to a fun story.

Revan343 ,

Best I can do is push it worldwide on a Friday morning

luckystarr ,

Does that cost money?

peopleproblems ,

Yes. And time.

We make a lot more money by testing in production, and let the users tell us what’s wrong. It’s much faster.

luckystarr ,

We’ve successfully replaced the entire support team with an HTML form creating tickets for the one developer.

Surefire way to receive that efficiency performance bonus.

But how do I integrate everything into Microsoft 365 with that snazzy OneDrive feature? /s

Pretty sure it’s happened in Linux before, but because it’s much less users, obviously it won’t have same global outage like what happens now

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

I mean, I run Fedora and ran many others and had multiple crashes.

Fedora Atomic Desktops not anymore, but still not perfect.

Norgur ,
@Norgur@fedia.io avatar

It doesn't. It will require you to reboot for every god-damned line of code that has changed.

laurelraven ,

Only when you actually want it to reboot on its own

When you don’t want that, need it to wait for some reason, that’s when it remembers how to reboot on its own

If it was the second Tuesday of the month, probably updating.

Firefox kept crashing because of explicit sync. Nothing new for an nvidia user such as myself. Still never going back to xorg.

Strykker ,

Oh sweet not just me then! Hoping this one gets fixed soon

Kyatto ,
@Kyatto@leminal.space avatar

The new nvidia driver has explicit sync, wayland perfect for me since I updated it a week or so ago.

Strykker ,

Yes it was perfect in Wayland till yesterday when I updated and fire fox started crashing with explicit sync errors

Kyatto ,
@Kyatto@leminal.space avatar

wuh oh, I haven’t updated in a while, only a couple times since the explicit sync fix and I haven’t had any issues. I was just planning on doing that today though…

Kyatto ,
@Kyatto@leminal.space avatar

Yeah, I just finished my upgrade this morning and got crashing, easy downgrade but hopefully wayland and nvidia can play nice consistently soon lol

nexussapphire ,

Thanks, I wish the same for you friend! I use arch so they’re pretty fast at fixing stuff. Yesterday they pushed an update that minimized the crashing but it’ll probably be totally fixed by today or tomorrow unless it’s a driver bug.

I was a terrible citizen and ignored the problem instead of reporting the bug. I just wanted to get some coding done so I just clicked the restart Firefox button over and over. That minor fix did wonders though! It only crashed two more times to my recollection.

Undaunted ,

Set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 before starting Firefox and it doesn’t crash anymore

nexussapphire ,

Thanks! If it gets annoying I’ll give it a shot.

Illecors , to pics in I modded a scanner to be a camera, this is 'Waterdance' [OC]

Could elaborate a bit on the scanner-becoming-camera thing? I’ve never heard of that before.

Absolutely cool picture!

Leavingoldhabits OP ,

For sure!

I opened up an old Canon flatbed scanner and more or less removed anything that wasn’t the sensor or the mechanical assembly pulling it along. The optical assembly is hacked together with black foam board, an acrylic magnifying glass and too much gaffers tape.

Think of it as a pinhole shoebox camera with a scanner at the back, instead of photo paper or film.

Illecors ,

Thank you! I like the engineering feel it all.

When working on a new project, make sure to allow yourself to make mistakes. For instance, by building a model (or a miniature) first.

PhreakyByNature ,

Yup my personal and work machines were fine. That said I’m on W10 on both and once I can’t be on W10 anymore I’m hoping Linux has further matured for my needs so I don’t need W11 onwards. I’m around the Linux communities keeping tabs…!

Isn’t Linux mature already? What do you want from it that it can’t already do?

AustNerevar ,

Though there are alternatives, video and photo production are not on par with Windows currently.
