“But they did it too!” will not fly with me as a valid defense coming from an adult person. Your behaviour is your own responsibility. If you disagree with something, either respond in a polite manner or downvote and move on. Do not accuse others, either individuals or groups, of having a mental deficiency, brain damage, or aberration; and the fact that you would try to minimize what you said shows that you understand why I have an issue with it.

Be nice, or leave.

You don’t get to speculate about that. Now drop it.

Yes, it’s best to store them on a separate hard drive. The target partition must be formatted as a Linux filesystem (ext2/3/4 or btrfs) in order to retain file ownership and permissions. I have a 512 GB partition on a hard drive reserved for the last three weekly backups and never ran out of space.

Ext4 is still perfectly fine. It’s a mature technology, and much more stable than btrfs. Your experience will not be any different because of this.

I still recommend using Timeshift. The only downside is that only the Rsync backup method will be available, which creates a full on-disk copy of your system files.

we might be a little too passionate

We have to offset the complacency and downright apathy of Windows users, and the tribal/cult mentality of Apple consumers.

Bootloader no worky can be caused by a hundred different issues. The installer may have removed the kernel or a CPIO archive (initramfs or processor microcode) that the bootloader needs. You could be missing some EFI program. If the boot entry is set to identify the root filesystem by its UUID, formatting/reinstalling would have changed the real UUID and then the bootloader wouldn’t be able to find it. Maybe installing the OS simply wiped or damaged that partition.

If you have to reinstall the OS, you should also reinstall the bootloader (the OS installer usually lets you do that from the GUI), or if you’re confident, update the boot entries to reflect the state of the computer. I strongly recommend using btrfs as your root filesystem instead of ext4, and use Timeshift to set up regular snapshots (btrfs) or backup clones (ext4) in case this happens again.

The owner once said they were not a meme community in a post. Empirical evidence disagrees.

No porn, please. Even if the stack smashing happens out-of-frame.

I currently run Nextcloud inside a Debian 11 LXC container on Proxmox, together with Apache, Mariadb, and PHP. I followed this guide. Once Apache and PHP were running, the rest of the process was straightforward.

That’s the point. It’s a list of words that may or may not mean something and I can’t make an assessment on whether or not it’s bullshit. It’s coming from Apple, though, and it’s about privacy, which is not good for credibility.

1. It was doing new things.
2. It was easier to learn.
3. The other init systems were (are) stagnant.

Imagine trying to get new, young developers to adopt C or Pascal when the likes of Rust and Python exist. You can make arguments for a thing’s superiority based on moral standards (which are always subjective), but morality is a poor metric. If everything was done based on that, the Linux ecosystem would be in the same state as the GNU Hurd kernel.

by using high-level multimodal feature descriptors, including visual similarity scores; locally stored geo-signals; popularity; and index coverage of landmarks (to debias candidate overweighting)

…and other sciencey-sounding technobabble that would make Geordi LaForge blush. Better reverse the polarity before the dilithium crystals fall out of alignment!

There’s no reason to expect GNOME to implement it, and I’m surprised they haven’t NACKed it.

How is KDE less keyboard-focused? I spent like ten minutes setting up kwin shortcuts and now have the same level of keyboard-only interaction as with any WM.

20-disk RAID5 it is then.

It’s not an issue with VPN. I removed it myself because it’s not related to Linux. Read rule 3 on the sidebar.

I love shitting on Windows and Microsoft like anyone here, but that doesn’t automatically make it Linux-related.
