Tl;dw is that sure, the US could withhold software updates and sure, NL could do their own software thing, but there is a whole intelligence software thing too that makes it harder. And ultimately if the US stops supplying new parts the existing planes are quickly dead in the water anyway. So it’s a short-term solution at best.
I think unattended-upgrades only runs once a day by default, and the repository index could have changed since then. Different results on different machines can be because unattended-upgrades didn’t run at the same time, or from the same mirror (and mirrors take a while to propagate changes). Generally speaking you should always run an apt update directly before installing new packages.
Jellyfin on an Android TV does DV just fine here, so any android box that supports DV should work I guess.
Arch in the front, Debian in the back(end). I run Arch on my laptop and Debian on my homeserver. I’ve ran Debian on laptops before and if stable is getting older hardware support can be a struggle, much better on a rolling distro like Arch. And having all the newest toys on your desktop is very very nice. While on my homeserver I mostly want stability, everything else runs in (podman) containers anyway.
Cachy is a distro I would consider, because it’ll theoretically give you slightly better battery life due to the optimised compiles, although I’m not sure you’ll ever really notice. Manjaro has a reputation of breaking far more often than Arch does, so that one’s a no for me.
Het positieve nieuws is dat Groenlinks-PVDA nu de grootste partij in de oppositie is. Meer fragmentatie op rechts is altijd goed IMHO.
He did, but that doesn’t excuse what the US did.
Agreed, hence the “very often” and not “always”. You are always trusting the VPN provider to not fuck you over, and there probably are a few who don’t.
Good blog. You touch on this point in the blog but IMHO it should be one of your main talking points.
Why not switch to LibreOffice?
Met een griepprik.
Nee hier zaten we op te wachten…
Mooi.
Replacing the batteries with new ones on my $50k when it was new car (BMW i3) would cost me about $10k. Which is roughly what the car is worth on the second-hand market right now. The chances of me ever having to replace said batteries are basically zero. The chance of an ICE car spontaneously setting itself on fire are actually much higher, so this is a massive nothing-burger. When owning a car you should ALWAYS think about what happens if said car is suddenly total-loss the next day. Usually the answer is to replace it with another second-hand, not buy a new (!) battery from the dealer. Hell, second-hand battery packs are a thing too now, and much cheaper. On most EV’s you just drop them from the bottom and pop in the replacement, much less work than replacing an ICE engine.
Which is stupid, because current batteries already last way longer than most ICE cars. IMHO the depreciation is mostly because newer EV’s are still getting better at such a rapid pace, not because second-hand EV’s aren’t great cars (with a few notable exceptions, such as 1st gen Nissan Leafs, which didn’t have active battery cooling). I drive a 2016 EV and it’s still pretty much as it was when new, battery included.
In China NMC isn’t really used any more as a battery chemistry, almost all cars have LFP batteries. Sodium-ion has a slightly higher energy density than LFP. So basically almost all cars except the really expensive ones with a ridiculous range should switch over to sodium-ion pretty soon.
This also means that, when you buy a car with say a 500 km range, that the battery will last for 10,000 x 500 = 5 million kms. That is an absolutely insane number compared to cars that are on the road right now. And one you will obviously only reach if the rest of the car can keep up. EVs are already doing well compared to ICE cars in this regard, but this is almost an order of magnitude larger than the current status quo.
dotfiles and system configuration are pretty different use-cases, usually when you do system-wide stuff you want to manage not just the configuration files but also what software is installed and a bunch of other things. Ansible or something else like it is definitely the right tool for the job. And Ansible isn’t so difficult to learn, you only need to know like 5% of what it can do to be very effective.
For dotfiles my personal preference is dotbot, but there are MANY many different tools that are all good and are just different ways to accomplish roughly the same thing.
Ha, die kende ik nog niet! Zeker beter dan het Kiescompas ja, maar er valt ook nog wel een kanttekening bij te stellen. Ruimte voor nuance is er niet (altijd een probleem met dit soort dingen), en je moet ook uitkijken voor symboolgedrag, zoals een NOS artikel toevallig vandaag aanhaalde: https://nos.nl/artikel/2584855-politieke-partijen-vrezen-bolletjesterreur-op-laatste-kamerdag
Maar op zich hebben ze wel relevante stemmingen uitgezocht om de Stemchecker samen te stellen. Mijn uitkomst klopt ook behoorlijk met mijn persoonlijke mening over bepaalde partijen zie ik. En alles is beter dan blind PVV stemmen inderdaad!
Tsja, waarde hechten aan een paar loze partijstandpunten is sowieso nogal dubieus. Ik moest nogal lachen dat NSC links van CDA uitkomt bijvoorbeeld. Er zit nogal wat lucht tussen hoe ze beweren dat ze zijn (op Kiescompas o.a.) en hoe ze werkelijk handelen, en dat geldt voor meerdere partijen.
I use mergerfs (and snapraid because I do care about my data and want parity) on ext4 formatted disks. This is a much better way to use your disks if you’re mostly just storing media. RAID is for mitigation of downtime after drive failure, not for joining a bunch of (differently sized?) disks into one pool if downtime isn’t really a problem.
