As they point out at the end, this wasn’t about the old control panel, but the new settings panel. It’s all brand new code.

What’s actually infuriating are those bar charts.

The issue isn’t just a simple oversight. Git includes the file name as part of the tree and commit hash. The hash has security implications. There’s really no way to make the hash support case insensitivity without opening up a multitude of holes there. So there will always be a mismatch, and you can’t just fix it without changing how git works from the ground up.

Have you heard about them bombing Lebanon yesterday though, or even for the last few months? It got a passing mention and only in the context of “this might cause Iran to respond”. And there’s a few more flags on that picture.

I was wondering if your tool was displaying cache as usage, but I guess not. Not sure what you have running that’s consuming that much.

I mentioned this in another comment, but I’m currently running a simulation of a whole proxmox cluster with nodes, storage servers, switches and even a windows client machine active. I’m running that all on gnome with Firefox and discord open and this is my usage

$ free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            46Gi        16Gi       9.1Gi       168Mi        22Gi        30Gi
Swap:          3.8Gi          0B       3.8Gi

Of course discord is inside Firefox, so that helps, but still…

What does free -h say?

About 6 months ago I upgraded my desktop from 16 to 48 gigs cause there were a few times I felt like I needed a bigger tmpfs.
Anyway, the other day I set up a simulation of this cluster I’m configuring, just kept piling up virtual machines without looking cause I knew I had all the ram I could need for them. Eventually I got curious and checked my usage, I had just only reached 16 gigs.

I think basically the only time I use more that the 16 gigs I had is when I fire up my GPU passthrough windows VM that I use for games, which isn’t your typical usage.

They’re not valid, they’re excuses which are provably wrong. Samsung will currently sell you a phone with a jack which is ip68 waterproof, has a milspec durability rating and it costs a whopping €250. So clearly the jack is not a design limitation in any of those ways.

Sadly, I reckon about 2/3 of Android phones no longer have a jack, or close to 100% of flagship models.

Well the most annoying issue is that BT headphones work perfectly well with a phone or laptop that has the jack, it’s not an either/or situation. So they were only removed to make you have to spend $200. The arguments about cost, durability or waterproofing are all nonsense.

I’m only willing to buy a phone that has the jack, it reduces the selection, but I’m not willing to compromise on that. And someone gifted me some airpods recently (pro 2). Tried them out and they were ok I guess, but they also had too many downsides, so they sit on a shelf now. It’s not a good enough alternative for me.

The first panel ruined it for me as well, though. It’s meant to be political allegory, sure, but the first panel just makes it bad history instead.

Some editors can embed neovim, for example: vscode-neovim. Not sure how well that works though as I never tried it.

Well personally if a package is not on aur I first check if there’s an appimage available, or if there’s a flatpak. If neither exist, I generally make a package for myself.

It sounds intimidating, but for most software the package description is just gonna be a single file of maybe 10-15 lines. It’s a useful skill to learn and there’s lots of tutorials explaining how to get into it, as well as the arch wiki serving as documentation. Not to mention, every aur or arch package can be looked at as an example, just click the “view PKGBUILD” link on the side on the package view. You can even simply download an existing package with git clone and just change some bits.

Alternatively you can just make it locally and use it like that, i.e. just run make without install.

Aur and pacman are 90% of why I use arch.

Also fyi to OP: never install software system-wide without your package manager. No sudo make install, no curl .. | sudo bash or whatever the readme calls for. Not because it’s unsafe, but because eventually you’re likely to end up with a broken system, and then you’ll blame your distro for it, or just Linux in general.

My desktop install is about a decade old now, and never broke because I only ever use the package manager.

Of course in your home folder anything goes.

I think they meant you don’t know what the binary is called because it doesn’t match the package name. I usually list the package files to see what it put in /use/bin in such cases.

Well I’m not sure it takes an expert to master a plug.

But I’d understand the hate if it was universal (pun maybe intended), but everyone that hates micro-usb seems to adore usb-c, while I feel like it’s potentially much more fragile. When handling usb-c I always use a lot more delicate care than I ever did with micro-usb. Mostly because even though I’m pretty good at soldering very tiny things, I’m not confident I could replace most usb-c receptacles without messing it up.

I’ve used more usb gadgets than most people, as I deal with electronics a lot, but I never had a single problem with micro usb. Not sure why people hate it so much.

I remember watching golden boy on there, it was great.

When Algeria is too woke for you, you should really reconsider things.
