For the record, if the software updates stopped where they’re at today, I’d be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they’d just leave things alone at this point because I don’t want any extra features out of the thing.

And therein lies the rub, you don’t get to choose, the corpo does and you have to trust them (you do trust them, don’t you?). Pretty much like you’re renting, not owning. As the article points out this is similar to phone ‘ownership’, hopefully in the fullness of time there will be a GrapheneOS equivalent for cars…

Dev work in the uBlue family (and yes I use bazzite for dev) leans heavily on distrobox (think development containers). Took a bit to adapt but now I think it’s the ducks nuts. Because you decouple the dev environment from the main, immutable OS you get a lot of wins, especially if you work with a lot of different projects as you can setup distroboxes specifically for each. AI code that only works with specific drivers / libraries / python with instructions only for Ubuntu or Arch, no worries, make up a distrobox, when you’re finished archive it and spin it up later if needed. If you’re only working one project on say LTS or something it’s going to be much less of a win, but for the flexible developer it’s a godsend.

As to doom emacs or whatever, I have a post install script for distroboxes that sets up my preferred environment for the big 3 (Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu), it’s not hard. Very much a kill your darlings philosophy.

ETA Because of this workflow it really doesn’t matter what the host OS is, so it may as well be something I can game on, and I’m fond of the Fedora relative stability with sharp, but not bleeding edge.

Damn I wish there was a line between ‘hypothesis unsupported’ and publish. Negative results are results too, and now someone else will try it and fail too. So much wasted time, but publishers…

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy !!

Thanks for the link, that’s so happening.

As in sync position wirelessly ?? that would rock.

Er, current (I use podman autoupdate). Often it’s the second time you try that it works (takes a while to work and times out), can also be a hard block on your vpn egress IP, then change it, test to see if you can reach it in your browser. Also you arr may have decided it’s not working and turn it off, check system errors. Currently my log has detected, challenge solved, response in 18 - 40 s, so it’s definitely slow at the moment.

1337x is pretty damn good, look into flaresolverr for the Cloudflare, it’s a bit hit or miss (cat and mouse game there) but useful. Also Limetorrents, EZTV and good old piratebay are worth it IMO.

White cis male attesting Owl House rocks, and yes, I did pirate it. Much Love.

Shes all switched to linux, and if her trial goes well and i don’t end up tearing my hair out doing tech support. I may switch over as well, probably a different distro though.
That’s an interesting approach, I usually experiment on stuff myself before making others switch, makes me more comfortable on the stuff and more confident that I’ll be able to solve their issues.

Yeah, that was the standout for me too. You’re on winblows and might switch later, but are going to support her, way to treat the gf as a lab rat…

Security is trust but verify kind of field

Nope, security is an archetypal verify before trust kind of field.

Also white and yes they’re sweethearts but very independent dogs, like half cat dogs.

Just an Afghan Hound being goofy, they have two modes, aloof and noble, and silly goofy…

I use gOS and my solution for Pay is a Visa in my phone case… As to AirTags there are solutions for finding things locally but nothing with the reach of AirTags if you left something somewhere else due to apple installing it on all their phones. I find analogue solutions will do personally. Find my phone still works. iCloud and photos I replaced with a homeserver with Immich, also pihole there to sort ads, but you can get most of the way there with proton if that’s intimidating.

Right you are, if a tad US centric, not sure the topic actually was Sagan and Congress, although Sagan for Sanders might give you some credibility. I suspect we’re on the same general side anyway and the ancientness of the argument helps both…

Cool, never implied you did,(suggest that Carl Sagan invented climate science in 1985) and happy the spirit continues in you, here for it. Science is never proven (mathematics aside), just more and more probable in most cases, at this point the “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” is anything against climate change…

While I adore Sagan, the greenhouse effect was was proposed as early as 1824 by Joseph Fourier (yes Fourier transform dude). Literally two centuries old science.

Eh, oxygen builds up, fire, CO2…

I’d go with second law of thermodynamics, but whatever.

Could be done, perhaps, with significant added complexity (and hence maintenance). In practice it is not, to my knowledge there are no mid-mount regenerative system on the market. It is worth noting that mid-mounts are significantly more efficient than hub mount, enough so that even compared to hub mounts with regeneration, mid-mounts have more range for a given battery / wattage. The vast majority of hub mounts also do not implement regeneration.
