Odd jobs, here and there.

Future-proofing with ext4? Come on.

Firewallcmd’s runtime-to-permanent is one of my favorite features of any software. Set everything up, make sure everything works before making the changes permanent. If not, just reboot!

Thanks for the tip but Mesa is not in the backports repo.

Incredible.

Why would an OEM need to buy a Windows license if the customer has no interest in using Windows?

Windows optimized for anything seems to be pretty much impossible.

Mostly not at all but sometimes I want to try some new features and that’s when it gets annoying. Right now, I’d like to try passing encoding capability from my APU to a VM I’m hosting but it requires Mesa 23 and Debian is on 22.

I run Debian on my server and while it’s sometimes annoying how old a lot of packages are, it’s ridiculously stable.

I ran Manjaro happily for a while because I was scared of the Arch installation process. A couple of years ago, though, an update broke my system. By then, the archinstall script had come along so I tried installing Arch with that and I haven’t looked back.

Well, obviously!

This can usually be fixed by using GE-Proton.

VNC is a graphical tool to show a desktop GUI and is far from needed to show the contents of the filsystem. Do you even have a GUI installed on it and, if it’s supposed to act as a server, why would you want to?
