First thing I’d do is to look at the client (fedora) journal for anything funky happening.

‘sudo systemctl status nfs-client’

Since it’s random I assume you won’t have any timeout in your /etc/fstab but it might be worth taking a look anyway.

Be aware that if the network drops the NFS will be disconnected and won’t auto-reconnect so this could also be the issue.

I don’t know if it plays well with container mounted volume, but looking at autofs could be a solution to auto-remount the share. I use it profusely for network mounted home directories.

I’m still in a mechanical engineering world so just saying INT and FLOAT has people running away. Excel is the “safe zone” for them, sadly it means that I’ll just be doing the VBA part and oh gawd please get me out of here…

Immutable distros works great when you want them exactly as they come. Anything else is a shit show IMHO.

As an example, multiple fedora based immutable distros dont have the codecs required to play YouTube videos. You have to either replace the rpm-ostree based Firefox with the flatpaks one or layer ffmpeg over the base system. Both solutions I wouldn’t expect someone without Linux knowledge to be able to do.

Can confirm. Was quite unhappy in my mechanical engineering job, had an opportunity to develop something nice in python, was told we’d do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.

I remember those questions! As soon as I read high school my mind went from “working for Canonical would be nice” to “let’s justify not writing an essay by reading everything bad about Canonical”.

Lucky for me it was easy as r/recruitinghell was full of post about people doing the whole process and being rejected. Also the CEO had a reddit account and the way he was justifying this process didn’t jive with me, at all.

Just tried both and I don’t know which one made me feel better

One felt like being run over by a train, the other felt I was a legless puppy in front of a kindergarten.

“OK then do me a favor, shut it down, unplug the power for 5 second and plug it back in”

I dunno, I’m getting tired of them

Having to install things mostly through flatpaks works seamlessly until it doesn’t. Then you’re stuck in dependency hell where you have to open holes in your containers to allow access to files or binaries.

I’m at a point where I layer enough software that I don’t know If there is still value added.

I’m currently trying Fedora Kinoite and from the get go the hassle of getting a proper Firefox+codecs to watch online videos feels like a major step back.

Then you have the issue of installing software in flatpack (is: vscode, texmaker) that are either not fully working of need to have their access tweaked. Atomic distros appeal is to “just work” it doesn’t seem like it does.

Dumb and Dumber: UwU edition

It doesn’t make sense, Forgejo just forked gitea and discarded all of the history (I.e.: issues and PR) previously included in gitea’s github repository. Of course they could host it on their own platform, it was already functional and they could start from a blank state.

+1… Started using Zola and built on top of it to learn scss, javascript, and HTML. All that extra building was not required for a running site but was still a great learning experience.

The fact that zombies seems to be able to walk indefinitly in most movies/series without consuming energy bothers me more than it should.

Do they all evolve to photosynthesize!?

Some bloggers have experimented and used Mastodon as a medium to comments on their blog posts. Works quite well.

30 years ago was 1994, the internet was quickly becoming a thing and if you would have told them that companies would eventually offer extra services if you chose to store your data with them, they would have believed you because that’s how the banking system worked for centuries prior.

Siemens makes NX. Catia is made by Dassaults. They compete for the same space in the market

It’s a software that is used extensively in aerospace and car industries. It’s also ludicrous how expensive the licenses are.

It’s hard to beat for completeness of functions but also for complexity.

Working with Catia is the other way around, no amount of documentation is complex enough that you really understand what something does or can do.

Another is because for a decentralized ownership service to hold any ground it must be either backed by a (centralized) court of law or hold the full service you’re buying. Otherwise what’s stopping a hosting platform to remove the service you bought with your nft from their platform?
