Ok, puppet

I mean looking at your post history this ridiculous comment makes sense.

allywilson , 29 days ago to linux in Partial upgrade to xubuntu 24.04 from 23.10, FS only accessible in recovery mode as root + wifi may be down. Help appreciated

Sooo, I guess a couple of things.

What error do you get when you try to boot it not in rescue mode?

Was your /home directory a separate partition?

I don’t think networking neccesarily starts in rescue mode, so you getting a response that 127.0.0.1:8118 is unreachable probably makes sense (your tor proxy will rely on the network service afterall)

allywilson , 30 days ago to programmerhumor in Damn no integrated advanced AI-driven solution that analyzes patterns and just predicts the errors? 🤨

I’ve been ‘told off’ so many times by the internet for my cat and grep combos that I still do it, then I remove the cat, it still works, and I feel better. shrug

Quite a few kernel processes begin with k as well.

Why do you think it’s invasive? How do you quantify which providers are less invasive?

If you think that’s bad, Oracle renamed their LTS DB product from 23c to 23ai the other day.

I think Poettering did a blog post just before he left RedHat (or maybe it was just after) where he described his ‘perfect’ OS - it was pretty detailed, I imagine it was indeed what we’d call systemd+Linux

Edit: Found it

systemd-resolved

I feel like we’re not far away from saying “There’s a systemd for that.”

allywilson , 1 month ago to linux in Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement

However, distributions like Fedora will definitely be in the lead, judging by previous experiences and stories of adapting new Linux technologies and Systemd components.

I wonder if this is still true, now that he no longer works for RedHat, but Microsoft.

allywilson , 1 month ago to technology in Windows 11 will reportedly display a watermark if your PC does not support AI requirements

I think what’s interesting about this take, is when they use AI to generate things like new taxes, tax codes and tax laws. The levels of loopery will be insane.

allywilson , 2 months ago to linux in Are there any discrepancies between the resources an OS uses when running in a virtual machine vs being ran directly?

To answer the question of discrepancies, yes. There are actually different types of virtualisation techniques that offer different levels of interaction between the VM and the hardware (negating the use of additional emulation and processing, etc.). Look up paravirtualisation.
