Have you tried The First Descendant yet? It’s pretty rough with load times and beats the cap out a graphics card. Is that considered AAA?

A complicated plugin ecosystem (e.g. Jenkins) makes for a terrible use experience. It’s annoying to configure a bunch of config files. Managing dependencies can be a complete nightmare. these problems also complicate your ci/cd.

So I’ll offer a slightly different answer. I prefer a single file instead of splitting up the config. And I’ll use OpenTelemetry as an excellent example of why. the plugins are compiled right into the app binary. This offers a ton of advantages, including a great reason to merge all of your app configs in a single file.

This really only works well if you have a good app though.

Strange. I’m not exactly keeping track. But isn’t the current going in just the opposite direction? Seems like tons of utilities are being rewritten in Rust to avoid memory safety bugs

Well this confuses me. I’m only aware of upvotes and downvotes. What do the 4 colors mean? And what do the left and right arrows mean? Arrow size?

I recently dug into this because I accidentally trashed my wife’s OS which was encrypted with bitlocker. PITA btw and I couldn’t beat the encryption

Bitlocker encryption key hash is stored in 2 possible places. First is an unencrypted segment of the encrypted drive. This is bad because it’s pretty easy to read that hash and then decrypt the drive. The second place is on a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which is a chip on the motherboard. This is better because it’s much more difficult to hack. It can be done but requires soldering on extra hardware to sniff the hash while the machine boots up. Might even be destructive… I’m not sure.

Either way a motivated attacker can decrypt the drive if they have physical access. For my personal machines, I wouldn’t care about this level of scrutiny at all.

Anyways you can see if any open source solutions support TPM.

Huh. Why??

So apple does something crappy… And you’re upset with the people that enjoy their services?

Has anyone here tried Kando yet? Looks like a very nice tool. How does it compare to typical keyboard shortcuts?

Hardware has come up a few times in this post now. Seems I should share a bit about what I’m running 🙂

I bought an ASUS ROG Strix GA15DK just over 2 years ago. The hardware was shiny but not top-tier at the time. It’s not new at this point but also not old by Linux standards.

• AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Processor
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
• 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM

Ooohhhh I like that idea for testing! Thanks for the tip and the recommendation!

Well this is much more commentary than my post deserved :)

Thanks for all the input! If only I could give more than one upvote. Much appreciated!

Redhat :)

At least, that’s where most of my experience is. But now I’m working for a contracting company so I use whatever distros are made available by clients.

Thanks! Especially for the “You described EndeavourOS” comment. This helps me a lot. I’ll give it a close look!

If it wasn’t already known, I currently have no real opinions on various distros. But within a day or so, there will be one correct answer and all other distros will be simply evil! :)

Thanks! I’m aware of it and updated my post with a comment on it. I’ll add these to my short list!

Ha yes! It’s within my ability to research and choose… but that would cost more time than I want to pay. I’m definitely appreciating the input from the crowd.

Pineapple + bacon pizza is delicious. My favorite actually. If you like spicy, add some jalapeño or similar peppers.

While you are definitely right, I and many others use yyyy-mm-dd outside of software. And that’s when the T becomes super lame.
