I loved the glorious 3.5.x days. What a fantastic DE it was then. I compiled 3.5.0 from source when it was released because it was going to take the Fedora guys too long to package.

That makes a lot of sense. That would be annoying for it to constantly detect. Thanks for your reply!

Do the NFC readers pick your phone up first or your credit card?

I have two Bosch dishwashers and have been very happy with them so far. Avoid Samsung appliances at all costs.

My name is Boxxy

Oh, wow! I can hear Sublime playing on the radio!

I got some pretty cool holographic metal slammers right at the tail end.

Depends on if you have found your passion. I found the career I was passionate about at age 14 and now have more experience than the vast majority of my peers. Until just recently, I had never managed someone younger than me, and I’ve been a supervisor for a very long time now.

I can’t believe they’re up to 40. I remember installing Fedora Core 1 like it was yesterday. Yum (and now dnf) has come a long way. It used to have to individually retrieve metadata files for every available package, rather than using a single compressed index of all the packages available in the repository you were using. It made just getting to the stage where dependencies were calculated take forever.

A bad SATA cable will cause this too.

I don’t do much scanning, perhaps 5 times a year, and it’s sufficient for my needs. I can definitely see how it leaves gaps if you do a ton of scanning.

Any SANE front-end will do. I usually use xsane.

I have a Brother MFC-L8900CDW and it works great for printing and scanning on Linux (I use Arch BTW). I use SANE for scanning. You can also set it up to scan to a Samba share or ftp location.

Trees are square! Haven’t you ever seen lumber?

1994 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme

Was it the 2 door or the 4 door model?

We had a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme SL 2-door model with the 3.4L engine that GM developed with Lotus. That car was a ton of fun. Quick for the time, handled great, and parts were relatively cheap for it. Unfortunately, somebody totaled it when it was parked on the street one night. It was a bit of a pain in the butt to work on because the engine barely fit under the hood and it was a ton of work to replace parts like the alternator since the engine subframe had to be unbolted and lowered to provide access.

Definitely not from the team working on search on Windows then.

They didn’t make it the default until 2021 https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-34/

It’s absolutely mind blowing how many innovations came from Bell Labs.

Use the pacrepairfile utility and you can set them to the distro shipped permissions easily https://man.archlinux.org/man/pacrepairfile.1

Not with modern package management systems. In the pacutils package is the pacrepairfile tool that is specifically made for repairing file permissions https://man.archlinux.org/man/pacrepairfile.1
