Yes and that’s why I said 8 billion and not 80, I accounted for the fact that this was one year worth of work.

Spending 8 billion to find half a billion doesn’t sound like something worth bragging about. Let me know when they 20x that number.

Tick bites can cause it. Something about your body building immunity to a protein transferred by the tick that closely matches those found in beef or something like that.

I have this which is $113 right now and I think you can catch it for a bit cheaper sometimes. Of course you have to factor in installation costs if you’re not comfortable installing it yourself.

It’s great though because it makes it easy to use filtered water even for tea, coffee, cooking etc since it’s right at hand at the sink.

TLDR: Ubuntu Pro offers additional security patches to packages found in the universe repo. Universe is community maintained so Ubuntu is essentially stepping in to provide critical CVE patches to some popular software in this repo that the community has not addressed.

I suppose it depends on how you look at it but I don't really see this as withholding patches. Software in this repo would otherwise be missing these patches and it's a ton of work for Ubuntu to provide these patches themselves.

Now is they move glibc to universe and tell me to subscribe to get updates I'll feel differently.

I've had two Dell laptops that ran Ubuntu perfectly. Dell sells laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed and also certifies models for Linux. Their Linux support is top notch in my experience.

Honestly this is probably me going off of outdated or even incorrect information. The fact that it has little adoption for that use case or as a root filesystem is probably the larger factor.

It's been awesome to see Ubuntu embrace it over the last few releases though and that's certainly starting to change things but since it's not part of the Linux kernel that gives most other distros pause I think.

I don't believe it's been marked stable yet but it doesn't suffer from the raid write hole like BTRFS and claims to be more performant than ZFS's implementation.

With it being merged into the kernel it should get much wider use and hopefully that helps it reach stability.

I was referring to its lack of use as a root filesystem. It's primarily used for large storage arrays both at home and in data centers.

I'm really excited for this. If it lives up to the hype I think it could become the defacto filesystem some day.

BTRFS, despite being a great filesystem, got a bad rep mostly due to its poor RAID5/6 implementation. It also lags behind in performance in many configurations and has been mostly relagated to a specialty filesystem. While it could make a great root filesystem few distros have adopted it as such.

ZFS has been similarly pigeon holed. It's typically only used for building large arrays because it's not very safe when used on a single device (edit: After some research this may not be true and is probably outdated or incorrect info stuck in my head) . It also lacks a lot of the flexibility of BTRFS, though you could say it trades flexibility for reliability.

bcachesfs on the other hand feels like it has the potential to be adopted as a root file system while also providing replication, erasure coding, high performance and snapshots; something that no filesystem has managed to date, at least on a wide scale.

Office buildings are designed to be remodeled. Just about every time a new company comes in they remodel the space to fit their needs. This includes adding/removing kitchens, bathrooms, server rooms, lighting, HVAC etc…

Sure, you're going to have to run a whole lot more plumbing for residential, maybe you even need a larger connection to the sewer but you're already doing a full tear out, these things are inconsequential.

Somehow I'm supposed to believe it's cheaper to build out from scratch rather than repurpose an existing structure? It makes no sense.

I don't think it's as unpopular as you think it is. The internet skews perceptions.

Okay so I just read up on this. It's it true that TPM backed FDE only allows snaps?!?

Debs are completely unsupported?

Well for starters they make the most popular pickup in America (F-150).

They also recently released the new Bronco and the Maverick. Both of these vehicles are incredibly popular to the point where they haven't been able to keep up with orders. Both vehicles brought them into a new market that they weren't competing in before with the Maverick being one of the only small, affordable pickups in America and the Bronco being a direct competitor to the Wrangler.

Then there's the F-150 lightning, they were the first of the big three automakers to introduce an electric pickup.

Anybody in PA can relate to athletic shorts and hoodie. Doesn't matter the location.

This is definitely a matter of preference. I can't stand foam mattresses for more than a night or two.

This is wild. I had no idea this was possible.

Well they wouldn’t so they’d end up having to setup a payment plan with the IRS but that would still be better than the debt load. I’d rather owe 20k to the IRS than 100K in fed loans. At the end of the day it’s all money owed to Uncle Sam.

Personally though, I wouldn’t bank on IBR, I’d much rather consolidate my loans privately at a better rate and pay them off as quick as possible rather than pay a high interest rate to the fed in hopes that they forgive it one day. I understand that’s not an option for everyone though and some value the risk/reward differently.

If it’s the report I think they’re referring to, it basically said Aspartame is possibly carcinogenic but safe at normal consumption levels.

It raised a lot of doubt around Aspartame being carcinogenic without going so far as to deem it non carcinogenic, concluding that more studies are needed.

I wouldn’t call it overwhelmingly positive for Coke but it’s not hurting them.

Right, the fact that they dug up their addresses and posted them is the disturbing part. The article, particularly the headline, is misleading.
