I’m currently in a trip in the south of Brazil, and I can’t open the 2600.com website since I’ve been here. I’m not sure if it is some kind of government filter or just 2600’s firewall blocking Brazilian ips.
Honest question here about jails. I like docker because the tooling makes it super easy to get anything running in no time. How is jails tooling? Let’s say I need to get an app running, a database and a redis for the app. Is that as easy as docker compose?
Taking the thinkpad apart is part of flashing the bios, which usually is just clipping an SOIC8 clip to the bios chip and using CH341a SPI usb programmer to flash it. I did the same to my thinkpad x220 to flash it with coreboot.
that’s great! I’ve been a long time Fedora user but last year I decided to try NixOS and I couldn’t be more surprised, everything works well and it was easy to install and learn. I’m glad I can try it in my m1 macbook pro!
Ever since I heard about AdGuard Home I never looked back. I have a raspberry pi 4 serving all dns requests from every electronic at my house for 215 days of uptime now without any issues. Browsing the web seems faster and cleaner ever since.
But at the same time software got slower and slower to the point that every processor upgrade just feels the same as the previous one. Sure there are some speedups, but I feel software could be way faster than it is today. There is little reason for a command line only linux to be slow in an older machine, and yet it is slugish.
That’s an impressive amount of progress already. Congrats on the work. I’m waiting apple’s next silicon to jump to arm, and hopefully by then I’m going to be able to run linux on it.
I went through the same issues 6 years ago, had to create the entire billing system from scratch, and there are so many corner cases I had to deal with, specially with plan changes on recurring subscriptions, had to deal with world wide timezones for the invoice creations and lots of other stuff. I just wish there was a pluggable, robust and flexible solution to use instead of reinventing the wheel.
You put nothing, why do you assume if there is space it needs to be more keys in there? I bet they can even improve the structural rigidity by not having the numpad.
Yes! If someone from system76 is listening to this thread, please, make a version without the numpad! That would be the case for me to buy one of these, but with a numpad it is a no.
They have my attention here. As a long time thinkpad x220 user and tons of mods and upgrades in it I like the repairability approach. As a linux user I would prefer if they had an all AMD option.
Congrats on this project, I hope you folks succeed and bring more companies to make laptops/hardware with the same approach.
Because CentOS on enterprise hardware is way more stable than Debian. I've worked for 6 years as a sysadmin for 300+ servers and we migrated everything from Debian to CentOS and our hardware related issues just went away. Overall we had much less trouble in our systems.
I tried to prepare for preorder at Apple Store App like they direct, but I couldn't find a way to finish the process because it won't show the sim-free option (I'm on google fi). Anyone else had this issue?
For a desktop use, openbsd feels super sluggish compared to the same hardware running linux. I love the way things are configured in openbsd, it is very straightforward. But the fact that it is noticeably slower than linux is what made me go back to linux. I wish we could have a linux distro with the same configuration philosophy as the BSDs. I recently started using gentoo and I'm enjoying having bare tools to configure the system, and having no systemd is a plus IMHO.
This sounds too good to be true. Suppose they deliver this with the scale to be used any place, we could see a truly wireless world, even the tv could come with a battery that would last a lifetime, no power outlets would be needed anymore. What are your thoughts?
I'm a fedora and thinkpad user for 8+ years now, I would love to see Lenovo consider selling this machine (or any 15+ inches) without the numpad and with a centered touchpad.
If you want stability on bare metal servers without having to pay the RedHat license then CentOS is the way to go. I've using to work with lots of bare metal servers and we used to run debian on everything until we started to have issues with kernel panics on machines we used with xen. We changed a few machines to CentOS and never looked back, in a spam of a few months we migrated all servers to CentOS and had much less stability issues. Not to say that debian isn't very stable as well, but RedHat puts money and effort into making their distro run on various enterprise level hardware.
Fedora is now a hybrid, some packages that are security sensitive are rolling, like kernel, web browsers, etc. And the ones that don’t need updates all the time are updated at releases. So it is the best of both worlds, things that matter are always updated while keeping overall system stability
If I could give one feedback to system76, or even better, to all laptop manufacturers: please start making 15 inch laptops without numpad. I was considering buying a system76 in the past and this was what prevented me to buy one.
Honest question here: what are the advantages over fancy zones? I'm a linux i3 user and want to give a try on windows with fancy zones, I can give workspacer a try as well.
These thinkpads are pretty good, and very easy to upgrade. I already changed my wifi card to support ac and I’m planning to flash coreboot bios. Last item in my checklist is to upgrade the display to full hd.
