The way I understand it is that the security team supports releases for 5 years. If you are running an older version of ubuntu than that and want security backports, you need to get the extended support. The difference in Debian is that when a release is too old, the security team simply doesn’t backport security fixes. You can pay someone to do it, but it’s not a part of what Debian as a project does.

Yes. You can get it with proton too, but you need your own domain for that iirc.

You also get SMTP with posteo, if that is important to you.

That card game isn’t called that anymore, but 20 years ago it was the standard name for a well-known card game.

The current government promised they would be “tough on crime” but have been largely unsuccessful in reducing gang related criminality. Now they are trying to find new tools to get to the leaders of those gangs. Sadly, they don’t understand technology.

Penultimate? Which one is the ultimate then?

I wonder how much is philosophy and how much is not wanting legal troubles. Those things aren’t contradicting of course.

It’s more that the position of the escape key changed. This was they layout of the keyboard vi was written on. Note the arrow keys too.

Do they start at the same time or waiting for one to finish before doing the next?

I had a lot of issues on silverblue using vscodium as a flatpak, I think I will try installing it in a distrobox instead.

if you program using vscodium, do you install a separate vscodium in every distrobox?

Hm, ok, so the official definition is: “It is characterized by loosely coupled systems that interoperate in a manner that is secure, resilient, manageable, sustainable, and observable.”

(Approximately 25.5 pt. Now, the closest traditionally named font size is 24pt, called “double pica”, and Pica Pica is the latin name for the magpie, who is known for stealing and hoarding shiny things. What does this mean??)

Nethack works well on Linux too.

What exactly does “cloud native” mean? I’ve used Silverblue and I get the immutability etc, but what is the definition of "cloud native?

It is sort of an anachronism. I’m not saying that we don’t need textual interfaces, but emulating a terminal from the 70’s is not the only way. Plan9 had textual interfaces without the need for an emulated terminal.

Some evenings, when a piece of code I wrote compiles on the first try and it all seems so straightforward and simple, I feel blessed by the Spirit of the Machine.

In these corporate times we can stay free, share the code, and help our neighbors. Together we can share the joyous spirit of friendship, hacking, and arguing endlessly over which distro is best. In conclusion, Linux provides us with many good things, and should be celebrated.
