I think that change was done way back when. Do you have a reference for the algorithm change? I tried a quick search and came out empty.
The machine that was last installed in 2014 is Ubuntu LTS. It's been upgraded through all the LTS releases since then. Currently on 22.04 with the free Ubuntu Pro enabled. I use a mix of Ubuntu LTS and Debian stable on other machines. For example my laptop is on Debian 12. Debian has been the most reliable OS and community for over 30 years and I believe it'll still be around 30 years from now, if we haven't destroyed ourselves. ๐
We're perfectly optimistic about most technology. We can see how we can benefit from it, once most of the value it produces no longer ends in the owner class'es pocket.
Okay which one of you happened to pass by that lot?
Seems like a fix is on the way.
They're pretty good. The affected models are 10-year-old now. Not that it means they should stop working, but just some context.
Really? I was able to comment a couple of minutes ago.
Yeah, it seems counterproductive to ditch FOSS in the name of self-sufficiency. If it were about that, assembling an army of software people to learn and contribute to important FOSS codebases would be much more productive in my opinion. It feels like Harmony Next is about something else. Perhaps some wholesale insurance. Or someone's plans grandeur.
That kinda makes sense at this stage. If you spend time understanding what those commands do, you'd understand how the system works, and most importantly how to not fuck it up. Keep in mind there's a lot of misinformation and bad practices in guides out there. People who bare know more than you feel confident to share snippets without warning. Ten or twenty years ago much fewer people had experience with Linux and most people confident enough to write were technical people that knew what they were talking about. Destructive misinformation was less.
But yeah when you learn, the need or urge to reinstall disappears. I stopped reinstalling in 2014. Took me 9 years to unfuck my Windows brain and understand enough to not shoot myself in the feet. Main machine hasn't been reinstalled since then. That's with replacing multiple main boards, switching AMD > Intel > AMD, changing SSDs, going from single SSD to mdraid, increasing in size over time, etc.
๐ด I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.
