Yeah, I installed Heliboard soon after I posted my comment and I like it well enough. I think I might stick with it.

Nice. I read elsewhere that it has a “dryrun” option that will calculate the total storage requirements for the library. That way I can buy a dedicated drive for it.

What is the best offline, privacy first, FOSS, Android keyboard alternative to FUTO?

I’ve been a Linux guy since 1996 but almost exclusively on the server side. I tried desktop Linux numerous times through the years but the experience wasn’t great. In 2012 I left Windows behind for Mac as my daily driver. In 2016 I built a Windows gaming system, and in 2019 I got sick of how shitty Intel Apple MBPs were so I got a Lenovo X1 Extreme, slapped PopOS on it, and it has been my daily driver ever since. Same machine. Solid as a rock. I do have an M1 MBP now, but itnis only for music production.

Linux on the Desktop is lightyears away from where it was just ten years ago. It’s crazy how painless it all is now.

I remember installing Linux for the first time from a CD of the Red Hat Halloween release (1996?). It was like being dropped off in an alien planet. Good times.

Nutanix…oof. I deal with them every day. It isn’t their fault their shit can’t handle what we do, but it is their sales folk that constantly lie and misrepresent.

Wanna know one of rhe big reasons people hate Oracle so much? It’s their sales guys. They are awful. If that guy went from Oracle to Nutanix, that tells me that I cannot trust a single syllable out of their mouth.

Hatred of Oracle predates “cancelling” by decades. Oracle is and has always been one of, if not the most disgusting and vicious companies in tech. They kill everything they touch.

If you need a political component, then Oracle = Larry Ellison, but Oracle hate predates and supercedes the American political slide into fascism.

MySQL belongs to Oracle. That’s literally all you need to.know in order to avoid it.

Run XP on a VM? Zunes were great.

Great place to organize white supremacy circle jerks.

The dump. (Listed in prior news articles about the event)

I find that live USB drives, like the Linux Mint installer are a fantastic way to show potential converts around. If they like it, all they had to do is click install.

Yeah, the title of this post seems to make that fairly clear. Still annoying though.

Same, and I have done so since the mid-90’s. It’s muscle memory at this point.

I have no idea where you got that from. 5.0.1 is from August 2025.

What can I say. I’m old.

It isn’t a command but an application. I cannot do my work without it.
