Just net send everyone a message saying that if they have issues, they need to reboot.

(is net send still a thing?)

LTS is supposed to contain stable components though. They really should wait for a stable (1.0) release before committing to it.

They’re probably trying to write it in a way that non-Rust-developers can understand.

I’d connect vis SSH and manually inspect the files that it’s supposed to be creating. Does apt update show any errors?

Has this had an impact on their reporting, though? I think it’s okay to use CBS as a source as long as the reporting is still reliable.

Have you considered using a VM?

I think the real issue isn’t the rewrites, it’s the fact that Ubuntu started using the new Rust coreutils even though they weren’t ready for production yet. uutils hasn’t even reached version 1.0 yet, and still fails some compatibility tests.

All your internet traffic is likely going through at least one network administered by a furry. It seems like there’s a much higher proportion of furries in network admin and cybersecurity jobs compared to IT/tech jobs in general.

Companies that build large LLMs have already said that this is becoming a problem. They’re running out of high-quality human-written content to train their models.

Google paid Reddit to get access to their data to train their models, which is probably why their AI can be a bit dumb at times (and of course, the users that actually contributed the content don’t get any of that money)

It sounds like you can just log out and back in to fix it? For a local system, the article says it only occurs for “First time user logon after a cumulative update was applied.”

The healthcare system in the US isn’t great, but you do get a decent experience if you have an employer that offers good insurance. My employer pays most of the cost of my health insurance. I pay around $200/month for my wife and I, but that’s pre-tax money, and the plan is great for US standards. $15 for doctor visits and $100 maximum for ER visits.

In Australia we pay a 1.5% tax to fund the public health care system, so for a $60k salary that’s $900/year.

I didn’t realise that the Pi 5 has an NVMe hat! Is that what you did? It’s a great solution.

The top comments don’t look too bad now… Maybe they’re ranked differently or something

TIL there’s a name for this

SD cards are mostly designed for use cases that do very little writing. There’s high endurance SD cards, but those are designed for long continuous writes (mainly for dashcams and security cameras). Home Assistant does a lot of small writes, which is the worst case scenario for an SD card.

Back when I used a Pi for Home Assistant, I had a SATA SSD attached to it using a cable like this: https://a.co/d/2tlYZW2.

These days I’d probably try a USB NVMe drive, like a SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD or similar product. NVMe drives were a bit iffy with the older Pis since some of them pull way more power than SATA SSDs and the Pi couldn’t always handle them, but it should be fine with the newer ones.

If you don’t have any offsite backups yet, I’d get a storage VPS (look for good deals on LowEndTalk on Black Friday!) or Hetzner storage box and back up to it using Borgbackup and Borgmatic.

An important note missing from this article (but included in others) is that Jeff Atwood, the founder of Stack Overflow, donated 2.2 million Euros to Mastodon. That’s likely partially where the 1 million Euro payout for the CEO came from.

Why don’t you like people being paid for their work?

us software salaries are insanely high compared to the rest of the world, because the cost of living in SV is insanely high.

I moved from Australia to the San Francisco Bay Area. My starting income was maybe 3x what I was getting paid in Australia, but the cost of living definitely wasn’t 3x higher. Major Australian cities are considered HCOL (high cost of living) areas too. Some things like electronics and food were cheaper in the USA too, at least until inflation and tariffs made everything go up.

I’m a fan of BunnyCDN - somehow they’re one of the fastest while also being one of the cheapest, and they’re based in Europe (Slovenia).

KeyCDN is good too, and they’re also Europe-based (Switzerland), but they have a higher minimum monthly spend of $4 instead of $1 at Bunny.

Fastly have a free tier with 100GB per month, but bandwidth pricing is noticeably higher than Bunny and KeyCDN once you exceed that.

https://www.cdnperf.com/ is useful for comparing performance. They don’t list every CDN though.

Some CDN providers are focused only on large enterprise customers, and it shows in their pricing.

Companies like OVH have good DDoS protection too.
