I was on a Microsoft systems admin/engineer path for a while and an opportunity opened for a KVM/XEN engineer and I was the one only person in my office to accept the offer. That was back in the RHEL/CentOS 4 days.

After playing around a bit I got hooked and haven’t gone back down the MS path since then.

I have 2 PCs running Arch currently. My SBC is running Ubuntu but that is just a print service for my 3d printer. I have a few Ubuntu & Fedora vns for testing and self study

I vote yes

Have you used this? Is there any benefits over bash-completion?

This might not be 100% what you’re looking for but I am running Reolink cameras and a Qnap NAS with QVR PRO. The reolink cameras are accessible through IP and some protocol I can’t remember right now. So you might be able to get them to work with your setup

Found that article recently. It is a great look into what MS is doing. Makes sense on why they killed Atom so quickly after the GitHub acquisition. I still need MS for some work stuff but almost everything else has been migrated to JetBrains for my IDE.

I am really hoping that JavaScript comes out with a native typescript so the MS bullshit dies.

i do the same. If I get stuck on something best thing to do is get away. Shower, walk, food shopping, etc… just get away from the problem and destress so you can tackle it with a fresh perspective

Seductively

Just curious have you tried Go for this? Go was recently approved at work and I have seen articles about Go for things like this and just wondering if it is worth it. I have been using ansible and chef but need to explore other options. I want to use Rust but I know the road blocks I will have to work through at work. So just wondering if you had any insights to Go over Rust

Until recently I never heard of crystal. There is a humble bundle for programming that includes a crystal book. That was the first time I heard of it.

I will have to take a look at the language. Who knows when having knowledge of crystal will be useful

What I did when I switched was to create an image of my existing install with clonezilla then used it in a vm. This way I didn’t have to worry about a dual boot configuration.

Been a while since I did this but it should still work

I have 3 cyber power UPSs on my network and I haven’t had any issues with them. The web interface isn’t the best but it does it job

I know this isn’t going to work for everyone but thunder client for vscode and the integrated rest client in intellij work decently. I will have to take a look at this client though since I do use insomnia for some work specific stuff

I will second the Roku. I tried this a few years ago and kept running into issues. Some sites like Netflix don’t offer HD resolution on PC. Then there are other services that have sketchy support for Linux. HBO and peacock are 2 examples.

I use my PC for personal streaming and a Roku for the main TV

I work for an auto company. I can tell you they don’t want mass transit because it hurts profits. They would much rather jack up the cost of vehicles, offer deals on leases, and keep people locked into getting a new vehicle every few years. Just keep the machine running and fuck anything except their profits. You will see how shady the auto industry is once the strike happens next week

I recently made the switch to JetBrains a few weeks ago. I am running Arch with KDE. I haven’t noticed any issues with any of the JetBrains apps. Looking forward to the Wayland changes to see if there are any performance changes

I have been on Arch a few years now. I switched before the installer was a thing because I wanted to learn more about building my own system. Got hooked and still using it as a daily driver. I normally have to reinstall every 6 months or so. Usually my issues are all self inflicted. I’ll try something new and cause something else to break. I have a laptop that has been running for 18+ months without any issues. But that is web browsing and light text editing.

So the distro is stable just depends on how much you tinker with it, but that’s true for all distros

I think they are referring to making employees miserable. Remote work has been very beneficial for employees. More time with family, more flexibility, and you don’t have a manager breathing down your neck constantly. So employers want the control back.

Then there is also political pressure from local governments who are feeling the pinch from reduced taxes in their districts. Got to bring people back to the office so they spend money in the district.
