Ha! As far as theories go, this one will remain just a theory hahaha

What’s bucket budgeting?

Edit: [sigh] all I needed to do was search the term… sorry everyone

I had no idea this had a self-hosted platform category. Cool!

I don’t think so. It’s been a while for me, but they emailed me a PDFs of the tickets. They pushed HARD for me to download their apps but I pushed harder that I won’t, so the tickets were pdf qr codes. Also, they accepted my Google number, even though they said no VoIP.

Edit: also, that was the last time I bought tickets from them. 100% markup for “fees”. Fuck. That. And fuck. Them.

They, uh… might like it…

And in case anyone is wondering…

that sounds like a value added write up.

Straight to jail

Did you bring your jerky in again?

We use libreNMS. Its docs state that it will do this, but we only use the uptime monitoring feature, so I can’t arrest as to how well it will monitor everything else.

If the db gets corrupted, you lose your notes? Or are the notes stored in md files?

Right, but Fedora failures allows me still to boot. Windows failures forces an uninstallation of the update, killing even more time. There are good and bad things to each approach.

I pretty much always recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon for anyone entering Linux for the first time or anyone who wants something to just work 98% of the time. I use Mint Debian Edition (testing it out. So far, so good, and it’s quickly entering first place in terms of recommendations, as it seems just as stable and uses Debian packages instead of Ubuntu’s), OpenSuse with KDE (less for beginner’s and more for those who want “eye candy” and some nostalgia), and Fedora Silverblue (currently have an update issue with its certificates, so can’t really recommend it yet). I’ve found very few Windows programs to not work within WINE (more complex, system file dependent programs generally are those that fail), so you may find that all of your Windows-only programs work perfectly fine under WINE.

With Mint (and others, I’m sure), you can install multiple DEs and test them out, then remove those you don’t like. Or keep them all and play DE roulette I guess lol

You’re correct. A kernel update would fall under the umbrella of a system upgrade, where the system needs to shut down to allow underlying components to be reloaded.

Fedora is the immutable I was referring to that does need to reboot. Linux Mint and OpenSuse only need to reboot after an upgrade. I’ve never had to reboot them after updates. Mileage may vary, of course, as different people have different software, tools, and libraries installed.

“restarting” for 15 minutes. Then crashes. Now I have to reinstall updates and go through it all over again. I hate how crappy the windows update process has become.

Except for the immutable versions I have, Linux almost never needs to reboot after an update. Upgrades, yes, but not standard updates. And even after upgrades, it just works [(except for one of the immutable versions I have)].

I usually close all programs before shutting down / rebooting, anyway (a habit I picked up from Win95 days, where it would crash if programs prevented it from shutting down), so I don’t really feel this SIGKILL issues.

If you remember, tag me in the comments or something. I’d love to see it haha

It was absolute pleasure hahahahaha

From henceforth, distro hopping will be known as running a train on Linux.

That name would be a major pain Payne
