I installed and ran gentoo in 2005 on a home server that hosted a file sharing repository and php forum for my friends.
In college I ran Ubuntu on my netbook for programming and internet browsing on.
Then in 2021 Windows 11 came out and refused to install on my 2017 laptop. So I threw my hands up and installed EndeavorOS in a dual boot configuration. After a few months, EndeavorOS broke my boot with an update. Threw up my hands again and installed Fedora and haven’t had an issue in years.

I bought a WiFi Brother printer 3 years ago and had a terrible time with Fedora Linux after Google discontinued Google Print services. I eventually gave up and would ask my partner to print from her Windows machine.
We now have a WiFi Canon laser printer and I’m printing from phone, Fedora, and USB memory stick with no issues. Never even installed drivers for anything.

131·11 months agoTaking an hour doesn’t sound right. Is it a disk or solid state? Do you have an unusual amount of directory hierarchy?
If you have a disk, does it have SMARTT errors reported?
Which filesystem are you using?

I wrote a small program that hits a few NWS endpoints and prints out formatted to the terminal. I wrote it in fish, typescript, rust, and nim. Most of my experience is in typescript, rust, java, and kotlin. Nim was my favorite of the bunch. Some syntax things were not my cup of tea, but when you have programmed in so many languages it starts to not matter and feels more like lipstick.
My biggest con with nim was that most of the nim libraries I came across are unmaintained and incomplete and undocumented. I think the language and toolset is pretty great though.

17·11 months agoI think this starts to not work when you start to include other states that want to do this, other countries, cities, counties, etc… How many trusted authorities should there be and how do you prevent them from being compromised and exploited to falsely verify people? How do you prevent valid certs from being sold?
Some examples of the type of service you mentioned:

And PaperWM is a gnome plugin I thought was developed by System76 as a prototype for Cosmic.
Edit: seems i just made that up too lol
I guess I meant scrollable tile system. I thought the horizontal ones were called river. TIL.


The semantics of something like Handle does add a lot of clarity for me. I had just written an app using tokio and arc and the clones always felt off.
