Keanu just can’t shake the Messiah image after played Neo in The Matrix. Ever! It’s too weird to see him playing Constantine.

In contrast, the Constantine played by Matt Ryan in TV franchise Arrowverse was spot on.

I know, right? I was quite mad when l heard the show was cancelled after season two. I still want to know if she survived after taking a shotgun shot to this day.

I think OP pretty much summed up Cube Zero. The first installment is really just a horror fiction also depicting the structure of human society.

Yeah, Cube 2 is shit. It’s a scientific concept show.

Dude, this is like asking “Which car manufacturer ships new cars with mirros folded?” Every driver ought to know that it’s only a matter of pressing the button and they fold. Disqualifying all those good manufacturers because they don’t fold their mirrors before shipping sounds stupid.

Same here on this topic, it’s only a matter of running one command to create the user. Options include writing the instructions down on a piece of paper before giving the computer away, or close the little gap between post-installation and setting up users by yourself.

Instead of posting a video of aggregated news, why not just post the source links?

Thanks for clarafying. That sounds like a genuine reason to use a synchronizing program like Nextcloud, to share files between devices frequently.

I don’t know much about syncthing but I hear a lot of people talking about it. Perhaps someone else can shed some light to it. But as I experienced Nextcloud about a decade, I consider it belongs to a hard-to-setup, high-maintenance tier. I’ve had my moments when I failed to upgrade and resorted to nuke it and set it up anew.

I shall also share that I’m currently running a dead “distro”, TrueNAS CORE (based on FreeBSD), which abandoned by the company. As a result, my Nextcloud is stuck at version 28 and I don’t have the energy to do a manual upgrade.

If you have made up your mind to set up your own Nextcloud instance, my recommendation is to buy a genuine industrial grade motherboard, put some ECC RAM in it, and use an OS that’s meant for servers (no Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora shit). You shall also setup RAID or use ZFS to mirror your hard disks to prevent bitrot. And I definitely do not recommend you save your valueable data on some random general purpose hard disks or even “like new” secondhand ones. There are hard disks meant for NAS out there.

Or, you know, Nextcloud Inc. sells prebuilt Nextcloud hardwares.

And do ask for more opinions on !selfhosted@lemmy.world.

In which way do you plan to transfer your photos to the backup storage? In the picture I can see a camera and I assume it uses an SD card. I would, if I were you:

1. Buy a consumer grade storage device with USB port, like those desktop storage towers from WestDigital
2. Build a RAID with it if the data is important enough
3. Connect it to my computer and just run rsync

Some storage tower even comes with an Ethernet port and a web interface. It’s practically a personal “cloud”.

Nextcloud is resource heavy, slow, hard to setup, and hard to backup/restore. This is from someone who has been using it from when it was Owncloud.

It’s a piece of software which runs on your computer.

If you find a so-called “web app” which runs in your browser, two things may be happening: 1) Someone took the effort to port an open source app (like InkScape) to run in a browser 2) You are using someone’s hosted service and they steal your information as the fee.

There’s also the option of taking your file to one of your local print shop, where they make it into a poster and charge you some fee.

You either pay money or effort.

The pictures OP posted suggest the distro is Mint. At the last time I installed it, I remember double clicking a exe file brings up a dialogue which asks if I want to run it through WINE.

Good one.

I don’t think it’s illegal. The TOS could just be saying “If you connect me to the internet you consent me upgrading myself.” It doesn’t say how hard it’s allowed to try to connect.

WTF is this post?

WTF is everybody saying?

Why TF not post this to lemmyshitpost?

Back in the day when embedded devices are running Linux kernel 2.6, the kernel is gzipped and saved to an SPI flash, then extracted to RAM and run from there.

Does that sound immutable enough to you?

The decision on this design wasn’t for an immutable system, but just that flash chips were expensive. Immutability was an accidental achievement.

Actually we developers dreamed every day we can directly modify the operating system ad hoc, not needing to go through the compile-flash-boot agonising process just to debug a config file.

You see, my point is, when a system is in good hands, it just does not break. End of story.

Maybe the next time before you guys press Enter after pacman -Syyu (not exclusively saying your distro is bad, Arch pals, sorry), think about the risk and recovery plan. If you are just an end user expecting 100% uptime and rarely contributing (reporting bugs at least), consider switch to a more stable distro (I heard Debian is good), and ask yourself if you want an immutable distro, or do you just want a super stable system.

You could have booted the old kernel in Grub.

I think “atomic” means “a bunch of actions grouped together as one action”, so that the system won’t end up in a state where some required actions are missing and becomes unusable. But it doesn’t mean it’s unto itself making a system unbreakable: If your system starts in a state of malfunctioning, then it also takes a series of actions to fix it, be it atomic or not.

Most Linux distributions start in the state of functioning after installation.

I don’t recall doing any regular updates

You needed to buy a modem to get online

If you stay offline, you don’t need upgrading to prevent virus or hacking. That’s the norm in the good old days.

Same word pronounced differently in three languages.

Well, with root enabled, the SSH server at least need to verify the key, no? It’s wasting CPU power albeit tiny amount.

I don’t need to. I can feel the sweet death threat every time I cross the road on the zebra lines without traffic lights.

Decapitation Day.
