What is it with the blue/violet/red-yellow stuff?

Is this some metallic thing?

Thank you very much for those insights!!

Would you give your perspective anyway, as I would be quite interested, although I’m not the one you talked to?

Utter bullshit…

Because of all the nice feedback about OpenSUSE:
SUSE was my first (bought) Linux distribution, at a time when I would have spent days downloading an ISO, SUSE was available with a manual in store. That was nice.

But then I had an AVM Fritz! ISDN card and it was a complete shit show to get this working. Especially as YAST(2?) didn’t support the configuration I needed, but every time you opened it, it would overwrite your manual changes in some configuration files.
(Edit: I’ll probably need to add, that this was like 25 years ago. So besides “fuck, I’m old”, my perspective in SUSE is very probably not up-to-date)

After that I hopped through a few distros and mostly stayed with basic Debian.

Nowadays I’m mostly using Manjaro (or just Arch itself, if I don’t need X), because I like the Arch package system and actually also the whole system architecture… Don’t exactly know what it is, but I feel much more at home.
With apt I sometimes found myself in situations, where a fresh install will resolve things faster than trying to restore/save the system. With Arch I always was somehow able to restore everything.

Can someone tell me how Tumbleweed differs/excels?
Thanks in advance!
Currently waiting for my new laptop (Framework 16 :-D) and that would be a nice opportunity to try something new.
But as I need my device for work, it’s important to me, that I really have it under my control and am not depending on some half-baked configuration utility like YAST was.

Edit: I’m also playing with the thought of moving to something immutable. NixOS looked nice in concept, but the more I read about it, the more I see that it’s more suitable for more server than my laptop - but maybe I’m wrong here, as I don’t have any hands-on experience

I think, I worded it wrong

Testing exactly for the results you expect is a good start to verify functionality, but you also need tests, that can bring up whatever, so you get a better view of the risk profile

But I’m not a pharmacist, so I’m just taking out of my ass anyway

Yeah, if I test my software all is good as well. As soon as the customer does something, he finds bugs, because I didn’t thought about that situation.

As the drug user in the end isn’t qualified enough, they should exactly test like that and not just what they think is right

But maybe my analogy isn’t completely working in that case…

I first thought I read a comic about LSD

Really 80 times?
I had 4 times in memory

Yeah, you’re not alone

Desperately tried to make sense of it…

Tell that to my cat…

I need to rotate between different brands and flavours, and still it’s mostly luck, if he likes it.

At least he isn’t really food focused, so he isn’t whining. Still a sad sight to see premium food go to waste…

Hm… Yeah, I guess so
Sounds like a very cool experience you can’t really have else

Seeing the earth “rise” in the sunlight from a glass dome on the moon sounds actually really sweet

Disregarding all environmental effects and my probable lack of budget…

Yeah, but then I’ve a web exposed service and I want keep a low profile as possible with what I’m exposing. So I guess as long as there aren’t many users to manage, wireguard (or a tailscale configuration) could work out for OP

I’ve setup wireguard, because it’s only me and an employee using the services. But with that, externally I don’t even seem to have a port open. But wireguard is so fast to be online, that I’m just always connected as soon as I’m online - using a domain and an IP update script

Feel hugged

When I lost a loved cat in my youth, a friend wanted to help me out and brought a new young one.
I completely broke down and couldn’t handle a new cat.

A half decade later a new cat showed up in my life by himself, and after a rough road with moving many times and staying for a year at my ex, he is since some years now happily at my place.

Take your time. What you valued emotionally has the right to be mourned by you

I find it much more insulting that he took a whole nation for fools

Edit: but fortunately you’re right about all his failing projects.

AFAIK the Hyperloop thing was just a push to postpone investment in public transportation until Tesla has some market dominance and be proposed as better green solution than public transport

I think Thiel is worse for the world. Elon musk is more show and shine - and crumbles spectacular anyway

So… What’s the purpose of the ban then?
Is this but just totally stupid and implemented completely useless, because people in power can’t grasp what they are deciding on?
