Snap still has users?

Thanks! Name of the tool checks out, lol.

Btw, what was the tool again, that watches some kernel functionality to get progress for multiple such tools?

Nothing hacky. Nowadays, most distro iso are hybrid iso.

# cp /path/to/image /dev/disk

Like i use to say; dd nowadays is best used as a scalpell (to cut bit sizes) not a shovel (to move chunks of data).

Huh? Wasn’t at least cp supposed to determine optimal block size automatically?

I recommend bottle printers. Except if they don’t print every few weeks, tubes could dry up then.

Yeah, can you take a “Veteran cybersecurity expert” who doesn’t generally use an adblocker serious?

There’s Audacity & co. for that.

that 30-40 dollar item.

Woah. Weren’t they, what, 2$ a piece before CD?

Investing? You want to sell it again?

Then they are lossless

Vinyl? No, not at all. Pressing the platter is already the lossy part, playing has less dynamic range. Some just like the mechanical part and scratching noises better.

You think web browsers should not exist?

Yes. Multiple historical layers, each giving the creators way too much power over presentation, while they are still supposed to handle stuff like accessibility themselves, making a company webpage a thousand manhours project. Browsers being monoliths is only one page of the book.

How do you write Google Chrome, and all of it’s dependencies, in one page of code?

So we agree that browsers are way too complex?

In my humble opinion, you shouldn’t be allowed to participate in big projects if you don’t fulfill some minimal requirements.

Reminds me of the crack i had to explain the concept of technical debt. He was the main maintainer of a years old Xamarin project, he took over from his precursor.

Except if your initial code was first written for something slightly related to the current usecase and with a tenth of the current feature set.

Then you better start from scratch and take some bits and pieces from your old code.

Onyx are Androids. But you should debloat/silence them a bit before, same as Kindle/any vendor Droid. And batterx life is not that great.

PocketBook have a more limited app selection (though there’s a Nextcloud app) and their SDK is old. But they’re running pure Linux and are excellent in openness and battery life.

I took a Onyx instead of a Kobo, because Kobo are locked down Androids. Though they are quite open in supported formats too.
