Solange rechzeitig vor der nächsten Wahl neue Lügen und leere Versprechungen aufgetischt werden und es zur Wiederwahl reicht hat es seinen Zweck doch erfüllt. Dass Wähler ihre Entscheidung mal vom Verhalten in der Vergangenheit abhängig machen anstatt von Marketing-/Propagandablabla auf bunten Plakaten ist ja bisher noch nicht unbedingt eingetreten.

sftpgo is a nice project to host files in a secure way without too much hassle.

While I don't agree with your first point from my experience, the second one is very true. Especially for memory consumption, your typical Java app easily occupies five times as much as something more bare metal.

Du musst verstehen, man kann nicht für jedes Gesetz den Schutz der Kinder als Begründung nehmen. Die sind im Moment schon durch die Untergrabung der Verschlüsselung belegt. Außerdem haben diese Kinder nicht die FDP gewählt, sind also selbst Schuld dass diese sie nicht vertritt. Am wahrscheinlichsten hat aber einfach ein Pro-Zigaretten-"Lobbyverein" ein paar Scheinchen springen lassen.

The "effective due" is probably even negative because the extra money they'll fight for will be more than the due.

I haven't tried not touching it for years to be honest. Longest period without a reboot was something between half a year and a year and it worked without a problem. Check the Arch website, breaking changes or manual interventions are very rare nowadays. There's just one thing you have to do if you start an update after a long time: make sure to update the keyring first or pacman will exit with an error. That's also mentioned in the wiki.

I installed Arch on my server because:

• I know it very well.
• The base system is tiny. Fewer packages = fewer problems. Everything else is in Podman containers anyway.
• It's very flexible. I have a customized encrypted rootfs which needs to be unlocked through SSH, not a very common thing I guess.

I've been using Arch for over a decade now. On a laptop, desktop, VPS and now it's also driving Steam OS on the Deck. I had very little problems with it compared to our Ubuntu setups at work that randomly break on updates. Ubuntu is not as bad as it used to be but from my experience (i.e. the way I use it), Arch has been more stable and reliable.

Einen Fehler einzugestehen würde eine Größe erfordern die Merz einfach nicht hat. Er muss immer Recht haben und Fehler machen auch nur die anderen.

Diablo 3. Not the one Blizzard released.

Secret of Evermore (SNES). The atmosphere, the gameplay, the characters… It's an absolutely awesome game.

Aaaand blue screen.

That’s true. And that’s the reason why you’ll get one or two firmware/driver updates and that’s it. These companies have work to do on the other hand. A laptos or desktop is a widespread product. Valve had to go a long way to make the Deck happen.

Imho, the Steam Deck will be the only one with a really long product lifetime. Simply because Valve’s main business is selling games, not consoles. The Deck makes people buy more/different games. Worked on me. I haven’t played much in the last decade because I was too tired to play at my PC after work. Now I can play everywhere. Couch, bed, car, … Basically every other manufacturer makes money exactly once by selling such a console. As soon as their marketing is done with it, they’ll release a new revision and you won’t see a single software update for the old model ever again.

Iirc the funding from MS to Apple was part of a deal they made with the authorities. Not because they wanted to.

Wenn du in deiner Überlegung fehlenden Mut durch legale Korruption aka “Lobbyismus” ersetzt macht das alles plötzlich Sinn.

Exclusive content is always anti customer.

Random pick from a rather long list: The fact that the president can (and does; a lot…) “pardon” random criminals.

Vor ein paar Tagen erst ein Neues bestellt 🙈. Valve gönne ich das Geld aber, die tun was fürs Linux-Gaming und auch die langfristige Produktpflege ist viel Wert. Mir fällt kein Hersteller ein der so viele experimentelle Nischenprodukte raushaut (Controller, Link, Deck, Vive, Index, Linux-Support …) und für ein paar davon tatsächlich Märkte geschaffen hat.

Better heat the whole state and compile it on your Minecraft redstone CPU inside the Java VM on that tube based CPU.

As long as it plays Doom I’m fine with that. What’s the TDP though? Guess I’ll have to buy a new PSU.
