A few days ago I was messing with my ubiquiti dream router and its ssh config option said the key should start with ssh-rsa 🙄

Weird. I updated it with the dir the letters are in.

As funny as this is, it’s worth mentioning that it seems like Hans Reiser has really come around to understanding the crime he committed and is genuinely making an effort to turn himself around.

I was asked by a kind Fredrick Brennan for my comments that I might offer on the discussion of removing ReiserFS V3 from the kernel. I don’t post directly because I am in prison for killing my wife Nina in 2006.

I am very sorry for my crime–a proper apology would be off topic for this forum, but available to any who ask.

There’s too much to quote here, and it’s too spread out, but I think that while we make dark humor jokes (and I am certainly not saying dark humor is inherently bad) we should also appreciate the progress he has made.

Yes. All the time.

Let me guess. You bought those at Borders? The one next to Starbucks and Chipotle? That was a great bookstore.

Funny you say that. I did tech support when XP first came out, and I quit my job and switched to Linux.

XP SP2 was actually pretty good though.

Show your effective sshd server config: sudo sshd -T

If I understand the problem correctly it has a pretty simple solution that I have done before. Make a new partition on the destination and dd if=/dev/diskAsB of=/dev/diskXsY where A is the source disk and B is the source partition and X is the destination disk and Y is the destination partition. You may have to run fsck on the destination afterwards and maybe a gpt repair tool.

Honestly though, since it’s an ext filesystem, if it were me I’d just mount the source and dest and rsync.

While I don’t disagree with you, I think it’s a bit funny that you’re bringing up hardships using apt to update software in Debian when the biggest complaint about Ubuntu is having to use snap instead of apt.

Ubuntu is not terrible and if it works for you then fine. I would be surprised if Debian or Mint didn’t also work for you just as well though.

I had the same experience on my one gui Ubuntu machine. I also have several headless machines, and due to some shared libraries I always ended up with snapd installed even though none of the packages I was running were installed through snap. I always found it through the mount point pollution that snapd does.

BSD is a solid second choice in my experience. For a while I was considering using it as my primary platform, but in the last 10 years all i’ve done at work is linux, so that tipped me into linux. I haven’t used BSD in a long time though, so my answers about what BSD has that linux does not have are outdated, as most of the things I loved on BSD are now found in some form on linux. Though I do love some of the CLI tools like diskutil. In general though, I’ve always found the GNU core utils and the tooling in linux that follows the same patterns to be really user friendly. It also drives me crazy that common tools like awk, sed, date, etc. are inconsistent between BSD and GNU, and I prefer the GNU syntaxes. (Yes, you can install GNU core utils on BSD and other platforms, but that’s nonstandard, and why would I do that for daily driving when I can choose a platform that uses the GNU toolchain as the standard?)

Like @kata1yst@sh.itjust.works said, BSD brought a lot to the table in the last 20 years, zfs being a big one. FreeBSD 8 and 9 were the last BSDs I ran, and zfs was a big part of that. Once we got zfs on linux, I went back to full linux. dtrace was also a huge one, and giving that up was hard, but now linux has strace.

I’m just so over AIX, HPUX, and Solaris. I’m glad I got experience with them and less so a few others like irix and sys-v. Working with Sun hardware was particularly eye opening, like being able to hot swap processors and memory, things I had never imagined. But since about 2012 I have deliberately steered my career away from all unixes except linux, and waaaaaay away from anything windows related, going so far as to take everything windows related off my resumé.

Definitely me, despite of and because I have used so many other unixes.

I was going to say Image & Form, the makers of the Steamworld games, but they’ve been assimilated into Thunderful, so that’s my answer.

I have a really cute video of my 3 year old daughter chasing one of those through the mall.

I used to love trying every new Ubuntu release. Then snap came along. :( After 17 years of Ubuntu (6.04-23.10), with only a few years of centos in the middle, I switched back to Debian. I see this release is still all-in with snap. Lame.

Don’t be discouraged. This may not have worked out like you hoped and planned, but keep doing awesome things. Somebody will love you for it and you’ll have a lot of fun.

Oh man, what a throwback! I had completely forgotten about this. It made a splash and then I never heard anything more about it. One of my coworkers installed it on his Toshiba laptop and ran it for a week or two before giving up.

Seriously this. Any comment about a complicated system that starts with “just” can be ignored 99% of the time.

Also, there are 4k forks of Ventoy already. Obviously forking it isn’t helping. Actual work needs to be done.
