Are you saying that it does work with open suse tumbleweed with the stock kernel?

I havent run opensuse much as a server but am always looking at it and Arch.

Probably going to switch to Arch eventually because the arch wiki is just the best docs I’ve found.

If you’re not relying on say a closed source driver that needs to compile for each kernel update you should have no issues there.

If you set up btrfs snapshots to run on updates then you could always just roll back if there’s a bad one. That’s how my arch laptop is set up.

Personally wouldn’t use Debian testing over arch or tumbleweed though. I think there’s something to be said for being on the same packages as the maintaners and not a testing version.

I do actually wish I could have a decimal place on my truck thermostat. 20 is always too cold and 21 too hot in the winter. And if I change it to F for the increased resolution it’ll change my speedo to miles and shit. Damn future.

Theres also serious though niche demand for people with trades knowledge and IT skills too. Plus knowing how to automate all your reports is always helpful.

Things to consider if you have that IT kinda mind and don’t mind playing in the mud. Instrumentation and Controls Technician, always need someone who can mess with comms and networking bullshit. And im some places can get into automation programming, called mechatronics sometimes? HVAC/building automation technician. Industrial electrician focussing on trying to get into commissioning and PLC programming/automation.

Most people weren’t hippies. They were called counterculture for a reason.

Basically it was a cool universe had room for more stories.

Also if people want there’s a book series called the black ocean and the author basically said he finished watching firefly and was like fuck it I want more like that. Its pretty funny instead of anything like FTL or universal translators he just has a wizard do it so its like the crew of firefly except to travel in space they need to keep a cranky beer drinking old wizard happy.

Eh. Young people are always the most likely to be flakey pieces of shit at any job. It self filters out pretty quick.

Also, I work trades and I’ll just say that from my point of view very few people are literate outside what they immediately need to navigate their lives. Like on bigger jobs we’ll have a worker at random read out a section of corporate safety policy in the morning meeting and let’s just say that literacy is a spectrum and most people are “functional” but do not read for pleasure or knowledge on their own time.

Oh I know, it’s a whole conspiracy to make everything an appliance you can only use in specified ways rather than useful tools. But its honestly going to start coming back on thses companies in another decade or two when no one can work on their shit for them without extensive training. Course I bet well see the big companies just buy out and run their own corporate schools and make good useful school for your kids one of their benefits for working for them but I like to believe that public schools arent dead yet in my province.

Now, generations are a made up social construct. And I think most people would find they have more in common with working class boomers than they do with the rich their own age.

That said society changes very fast now. There are big differences in how 17 year olds now and 17 year olds 50 years ago were raised and socialised. And age is more than just a number. We’ll always discriminate against the young or the old in professional etc contexts because there’s just some jobs that are more suited to the young or that we don’t trust someone very young to have enough experience to do.

I’ve noticed a consistent decline in all skills in the last decade of new apprentices. It used to be that you’d get a “computer smart” kid or a “hand skills” kid, farm, shop class, etc. Now I typically see neither. My last apprentice had only ever used an iPhone and a Chromebook(what schools use now apparently) and an Xbox. So when I handed him my laptop to teach him how to configure some devices he got lost on the use of filling in an excel spreadsheet and saving and finding and opening the files. It would have been just as fast to have someone who’d never even seen a computer before. And he wasn’t able to lift very heavy things and had poor grip strength. Good kid, he’ll be ok but it could all be a lot easier for all of us.

I blame the school systems and the general trend of making all devices extremely consumer unfriendly. I used to tinker with all the aspects of the family computer as a kid, and my dad and his friends would regularly get together and work on their vehicles. Now every device is more appliance than tool. Anyways that’s my prematurely old man rant for the day.

I’d like to see spinoffs in the universe but agree about trying to recapture the original cast. And they’re too old now to come back and just keep being space outlaw cowboys like nothing happened.

Strong flashlight. Even in a well light room, getting down there and moving a flashlight around will reveal little screws your eye wouldn’t have ever noticed without the changing contrast and reflections.

Would that actually work? How long should the north have kept armies raised and occupied the south to completely root out all bad guys? How long of doing that before you become the bad guys? How would you keep the trials from just becoming witch hunts?

I have more luck with Linux than windows on this one. My windows installs end up way more fucked from trying to bring in random shitty device drivers and shit whereas most Linux drivers are built into the kernel. Now sometimes you’re just out of luck on Linux and there just isn’t a driver but I haven’t had that happen in like a decade for me.

Windows 10 IoT LTSC version will be receiving security patches until 2032 its what all my work VMS are based on right now.

Its not complicated but it wouldn’t be cheap to pay an electrician to properly install an outlet out to the parking lot. If you own the condo it would be worth it probably but paying out of pocket for a rental units infrastructure I don’t see paying off for the prospective electric car owner.

Its always way more work than people expect to “just install a new plug here” in an existing and finished place. I would say the solution here is to require rental property owners to start supplying outlets to parking lots.

Maybe I’m wrong. People should get a quote for getting it done if they’re interested. But I think it’ll be surprisingly pricy in most places.

Running a plug to an apartment building parking lot properly would not neccesarily be cheap. I doubt a renter would be better off paying for that vs just running an efficient gas car. It only makes sense if you do it for the whole building at once at least then you get some economies of scale with bringing an electrician out and running wire through a parking lot.

Graphene also is way easier to use their google play sandbox then messing around with microg and shit on lineage. I’d love to see the sandbox stuff ported to lineage or similar but I imagine its pretty baked into graphene. Since I care a little about privacy but also just want my phone to be rooted so I can do whatever I want with it. Oh well maybe someday.

Yeah but everything is weird when you deconstruct it that far like I’m using my electric meat to change some pixels of light that are then beamed around the world via electromagnetic radiation so that I can send my thoughts to your electric meat
