Been using linux on my desktop since 1999. Don’t need an official declaration.

I’ve been using linux for over 25 years and I don’t understand this post. One of the strengths of linux is that you don’t need a gui to do sysadmin.

Windows? You have exactly 10 seconds to get the hell out of my house!

Docker as a technology is a misguided mess but it is an effective tool.

Podman is a much better design that solves the same problem.

Containers can be used well or very poorly.

Docker makes it easy to ship something without knowing anything about System Engineering which some see as an advantage, but I don’t.

At my shop, we use almost no public container images because they tend to be a security nightmare.

We build our own images in-house with strict rules about what can go inside. Otherwise it would be absolute chaos.

Sure but your goal is illumination not power savings.

A smart bulb uses a small amount of power even when off becauae it stays wifi connected.

You don’t need a smart bulb to have a motion sensor. There are many inexpensive options that will use less power than a smart bulb.

If the goal is saving energy smart bulbs are almost never the best choice

I don’t underatand how any schedule would save energy over my current method of simply turning on lights when I’m in a dark room and turning them off when I leave.

Surely a schedule would have them on more. Do you leave lights on in empty rooms?

Pro Tip: don’t make sweeping generalizations like “KDE Breaks Bluetooth” and then claim its happening while including little to no detail.

I’ve been running KDE for over a decade without any such problems. KDE absolutely does not break bluetooth or removable devices.

Now perhaps the way you have set up and configured KDE isn’t working right and causing problems with bluetooth and removable devices. I’d believe that but hard to know what hapoened without any details.

People used to call the Reference Desk at their local public library to ask a question and get an answer.

I mean labeling their posts accurately to give other the choice.

Bluesky is already coming apart. My partner uses it and last night she got a video of a person being shot in her feed. No warning. No label. Just blam!

Their influx of new users don’t all want to participate in labeling and moderation and they don’t seem to be able to handle it.

As a category, decentralized vpns are interesring.

It comes down to specific details of the exact provider compared with your own security objectives, to evaluate if it will work for your needs.

The majority of tech startups are super chaotic and barely keeping things running. More than you would ever imagine.
