Anyone who knows friends or family that fell down the magat hole understand this

The nextcloud snap is the best and easiest way to selfhost nextcloud.

I said it. Fight me.

The “coreutils” that macos uses by default are all older shitter bsd versions. I discovered this when half of my scripts and commands didnt work properly.

Silly me thought I could just bring my cash scripts over and not have any major issues (I’m not doing anything crazy). But even something as simple as grep didn’t work right because it could recursively search directories in the old bad version Mac comes with.

All of the gnu versions are much better and you can install them with homebrew.

Sounds like someone needs garbage in their front yard

I mean it’s the law so lawyers can try whatever appeals they like but from my incredibly limited understanding, default judgements aren’t usually appealable unless there was a structural/procedural mess up.

So if combs wasn’t notified (we all know that’s not true), or if there was a reasonable reason he didn’t respond (got into a car accident on the way to the courthouse/deployed to Iraq), or some local procedural misstep by the plaintiff.

But failing that courts are pretty strict about enforcing default judgements as final. God knows they don’t want people just not showing up as a tactic.

On the surface, the order seems like it couldn’t be appealed for most of the usual reasons. I wonder if they could play the “my client couldn’t respond because it may violate his 5th amendment rights in a related criminal case” or something like that. That seems like the type of thing a lawyer might try.

When the “government shuts down” the elected officials still all work.

Even some federal employees still work. There are core essential functions that have to continue or people may die, government property may be destroyed, etc. Those people all work–without any support staff.

They just won’t receive a paycheck until the shutdown is over.

The military continues to work. Federal law enforcement continues to work.

The reality of a government shutdown is that it’s actually very expensive and almost entirely performative (from the politicians perspective). Nothing good comes from it. It’s literally one of congress’s only jobs-- so they just look more incompetent than usual.

The federal agencies spend a lot of time and effort preparing for possible shutdowns that usually get averted at the 11th hour. When they don’t it’s incredibly expensive to deal with the impacts of delayed programs and contract issues, handling leave/time off during that timeframe etc.

Another impact is that it can drive top talent away from the government (potentially by design from certain political dispositions). Would you work somewhere that doesn’t pay you or delays paychecks?

That said, I don’t thing government employees have officially missed a pay check yet though. Like I said it’s all bullshit. They get to the brink then “figure it out”. The one a few years ago was the closest people got to missing paychecks. The solved it the day before the official pay date.

Would you mind educating us plebs then? I had a similar question to op, and I can assure you, I definitely don’t understand local auth services the way I probably should.

He has a legit point that Steve did not give LTT a chance to comment. “He doesn’t have to!” Maybe. But he gave the other side a ton of airtime/chances to comment. It was very one sided and while GN made some good points, it felt like a hit piece. And Linux, imo rightfully, felt a little betrayed by a guy he’d worked with in the community.

His reaction wasn’t great but it was that of a guy who was defending his team and from someone he’d probably consider a ‘friend’ impugning his integrity and dragging them without giving them any opportunity to comment or even letting him know it was coming–two very common practices/norms.

A unflattering view of GN vid is that he felt threatened by LTT labs entering the space and he wanted to get out in front of that an expose"how unreliable" they are. He didn’t give LTT a heads up or allow them to comment because he knew they’d have a solid response. He blindsided him on purpose.

All that said, GN did Linus a favor. It accelerated his transition away from CEO and forced them to review their dumb production rates and the videos that are coming out now are better than ever.

Ironically, it left a sour taste in my mouth about Steve and I haven’t watched any of his videos since.

Any other government employee would be fired for this. They would be fired for the appearance of doing something like this.

Unless you copy and paste. In which case just stab yourself in the eye of you are using tmux.

I’m just imagining my toddler around this fan …

So it sounds like, from the article, that ICE wasn’t counting those individuals because CBP was/they were initially booked in by CBP?

The way this is written makes it sound super nefarious when it really seems like an interagency accounting mix-match.

Yea it should be addressed but it’s written to sound like ICE was hiding 200k people in their facilities. Which is not the case.

At least the GOP and Trump are focused on things that will help move american forward. Things that help the average american tax payer. Things like making the presidency about yourself, something that’s happened to you personally but more importantly helping another rich old white dude from a famous family.

Those are the kind of things I wish the Democrats spent more time on. Instead they are talking about healthcare for everyone, student debt relief, tackling price gouging, and increasing the taxes on billionaires. Seriously, wtf Harris Get a grip. I want to see the zepruder film and documents about an assisnated president that hasn’t been relevant in 50 years.

If you already use pop with the cosmic plugin, it’s going to be a better version of that. If you use something else then I’m not sure why youd care tbh.

Maybe I don’t keep my finger on the pulse of this stuff the way I should, but what’s the main benefit of 24.04? Pop updates the kernel and packages already. The main benefit we would get is newer gnome which… obviously isnt a development priority for them since it’s going away.

What are we missing out on?

It could take that long. I was wondering if Ubuntu is 24.10 /25.04, 25.10, and 26.04 if pop will align their alpha2, beta, and official release with the Ubuntu release schedule.

I know they said something about a yearly release cadence for cosmic but I’m sure that’s once it’s officially in production.

That said, as far as an alpha goes, it’s much more polished than a typical alpha. The path from here to beta might be faster than we think.

Pop devs never shied away from releasing with non LTS releases though and since one of their main pain points with releases was always gnome + cosmic plugins I’m not sure how their dependency on Ubuntu releases is affected.

I was super nervous for cosmic because I love pop. I didn’t want them to bungle it and force me to distro hop. The alpha made me way less nervous and much more excited.

Whatever they do, whenever they release, I just hope they get it right! Small bugs are fine but major crashes would make me very sad.

Linus got phished out of his twitter account recently.

Respect where it’s due. He owned it and was transparent so everyone can learn. Apparently he was at a pool party and just about to throw the burgers on the grill when he got an email that said his account was logged into from Turkey or Russia or someplace.

He panicked a bit, because of the last time his YouTube account was hacked he felt like acting quickly was the only thing that help it not be worse. I think he clicked the link in the email and “logged in” and boom. Got em.

Caught him at the right time and place and it all aligned to burn him.

Floatplane is Linus’ smartest decision he’s made. It’s going to be needed.
