inb4 Boomers 20 years ago be like: "This dipshit told me he found this piece of information with Google, can you believe the stupidity?" :D
But yeah, I agree that LLMs are less reliable source of information than a good old Perl one-liner. :]

Cloud server goes wrong — you fix it (but you're unable to) :(

And if we take modern ICE environmental standards (e.g. Euro-6) into account, tires and brake pads actually pollute the environment MORE than any modern engine does.

Considering that brake pads are one of the three most terrible sources of environmental pollution in cars (two others being tires and combustion byproducts), it's literally a one-thing solution to two problems at the same time.

There are also "mild hybrid" cars (e.g. Volvo B-series) that have a ✨s m o l✨ battery used only for regenerative braking and (limited) acceleration assistance. But yeah, full sequential-parallel hybrids with a planetary gearbox (aka most of Toyota hybrids, including Prius) are the best!

I'd say that 11 IQ is still technically "smarter" than 10, even though both are extremely stupid. :D
Also, I *do* care about what the infrastructure I maintain does, that's why I'm hella picky about where I work.

And that's how you find yourself speedrunning your Arch Linux install with Ansible! :D

As always, Arch Linux Wiki will tell you everything about it and then some more, even if you don't use Arch. :)

You can save yourself some latency and either use ZRAM with your old swap partition as a writeback device (if your kernel is recent enough), or use swap on a partition + Zswap instead. Zswap is similar to ZRAM in that it stores inactive pages in a compressed pool in RAM before flushing it to disk.

BSD is better than Linux, fite me :>

Please do not use swap on ZFS in any form, Linux is unable to properly live in this kind of setup, which is a known and long-standing issue in ZFSonLinux. If you have some spare unpartitioned space — use it, otherwise use ZRAM.

It certainly is not for anyone, yeah. :)

It's not like your (or any) PC is tied to a specific software marketplace controlled by a greedy platform-wide monopolist who can eject software from the marketplace and shutdown the marketplace itself at will.

It's a projected price of future PS6 release. Only 700 humans for a brand new console!

Unfortunately, LVM had been a PITA for me on the systems I worked with back in the day (2014~17). I wonder if things are better now. 🤔
I just read the Ubuntu 24.04 release notes and found that they are actually *re-introducing* guided ZFS install, they just forgot to add it to server installer. :D
comment in response to

From what I gather from the link @sleeplessone.bsky.social posted, they didn't implement ZFS-on-root support in the new installer (subiquity) yet, but they are planning to add it back in a future release. Let's wait and see. :)
In the meantime, you can always try FreeBSD and Illumos! :D

TIL! :O
I wonder if it's still there in Desktop edition. I completely missed this change because nowadays I install most distros the same way as Arch and Gentoo (with "debootstrap" in case of Debian and Ubuntu).
comment in response to
post
Ubuntu installer does support it out of the box for both Desktop and Server editions since 16.04 (IIRC). Also, they have a bunch of helper services (like zsys) which do periodic snapshots of the OS and user datasets and provide quality-of-life features like an automagic GRUB menu for easy rollback.

A genuinely good advice!
I started using Linux in 2004 and spent a good chunk of time distro-hopping and mindlessly poking around and figuring out stuff until I stumbled upon Arch in 2008. It was *hard*, but I learned so much and loved the experience so much, I never switched again :D
