Also, they

• Fucked over Unreal fans by dropping the new Unreal Tournament the moment Fortnite took off (this one is personal, I was looking forward to that)
• Fucked over people who bought Fortnite Save the World (the original paid PvE mode of the game) by dropping that the moment the Battle Royale mode took off (this is objectively worse than UT because people paid for this)

Edit: Also want to mention Timmy’s frequent trash talking of Linux on Twitter

I use AdGuard and Vinegar Extract (Vinegar without the adblock part). IIRC those are free and work well for me, so try them first.

GRUB is still the standard bootloader in physical deployments because it is the most likely to work

The countless issues you can find online about being stuck at the GRUB prompt say otherwise. I’ve personally recently experienced GRUB on a computer seemingly randomly losing information about where the config file was stored, or at least not automatically loading it. God knows where that was supposed to be stored, running grub-install fixed it in any case.

More likely it’s used by the big non-DIY distros because it’s less effort to maintain a single bootloader than one for UEFI and one for BIOS boot, because the latter you still need anyway.

and supports most of the features you might want in a bootloader.

That’s the understatement of the century. It’s basically a decently sized operating system at this point, with seemingly everything tacked on that you can think of such as support for what looks like a grand total of 11 partition table schemes, “The Bee File System”, disk driver for classic Macintosh, and a JSON parser.

While some of what it has may have been needed for BIOS boot, the essential functionality is now provided by EFI APIs, and you do not need 337979 lines of C code anymore to implement a suitable bootloader for a contemporary system.

And I probably wouldn’t even say anything if it was well written or maintained code. There’s clearly something very wrong with it if distributions feel the need to apply hundreds of patches to it, Fedora has 283 right now. I’ve also had a terrible experience trying to script some of its commands.

I have 2 disks which each have an efi system partition. And the root file system is btrfs raid1 across 4 disks. This was very easy to set up and completely supported by grub with no custom configuration needed.

This is of course also supported by any other bootloader, since which of the two ESPs to load from is determined by the UEFI, and mounting the rootfs is done by the kernel. You just need to sync the two ESPs. systemd-boot’s kernel-install admittedly can’t do this out of the box, but you can make it work with hooks.

Try systemd-boot, it’s lightweight and well designed.

Since you use UEFI, you don’t have to use GRUB. It basically consists 90% of cruft left over that was needed for BIOS boot, and has a lot of moving parts and bad design (such as a single config file which has to be shared between OSes, which is so complex it needs a generator for it).

Try systemd-boot, it’s lightweight and well designed.

Anyway, looks like the target parameter is default now, the “esp” in the arch command is supposed to be substituted for the ESP path, for example /efi, so the only difference is bootloader-id. Which looks like that’s the label that show up in your UEFI setup for the boot entry.

I wasn’t able to edit a hunk (like the e key in git add -p) which I use a lot to split debug statements from real work

I don’t think the builtin diff editor can do this, but you can set a different diff editor than the builtin one: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/main/docs/config.md#editing-diffs

edit: but wait, debug statements? Are they mixed in on the same line as the real code? The builtin diff editor can pick changes per line.

I found no way to show the original diff

jj evolog to show how a single change evolved including the previous commit that didn’t have the conflict yet, if that’s what you mean.

jj undo did not worked (I have not been able to undo the jj squash that introduced the conflict

If you did something afterwards, the operation you undo will no longer be the squash. Look at jj op log to see which one is the correct one to undo.

When satellite connectivity first launched, it was limited to emergency text messages, but in iOS 18, Apple expanded it to allow users to send texts to anyone.

“100%” which would include those that either don’t have any use flags or all of them disabled by default/masked where -* wouldn’t do anything. pkgconf for example. Uh huh, yeah right.

What percentage of packages?

You can use binary packages for x86_64-v3 and it will already use a lot more modern CPU instructions, and it will still compile single packages from source if you change the USE flags to something the binhost doesn’t have.

It certainly doesn’t “defeat the whole purpose of using Gentoo”.

Gentoo has binary packages now, you might want to try it again. There are retroarch packages in the overlays. Otherwise, interesting distros I know of that you haven’t listed yet are

• Void
• Guix System
• Gobo Linux (unfortunately very low on maintainers so probably not usable as a daily driver, but it is to me the most interesting of these)

I haven’t found a solution, sorry. :(

okay ❤️ yay ❤️

Since jujutsu is Git-compatible it has very much replaced Git for me and is what I’m using for everything now. Its workflow is so good and miles ahead of Git.

I was trying out Pijul for a while before that and while it has a lot of great ideas and has a lot of potential due to the way its foundations work its interface is way too janky right now and missing features and nothing I’ve reported or the many changes I’ve submitted have been fixed/pulled since March. I’d really like it to be good but alas…

When I’m living somewhere where I control my home network again, I’m definitely setting this up.

Last time I got as far as setting up DNS64/NAT64 and then Steam stopped working so I reluctantly enabled IPv4 again. CLAT seems like a great solution for that that I didn’t know about (or didn’t try)

It would be so funny if Apple actually enforced their rule about every app having to work in an IPv6-only environment. Maybe if some of the worst offenders got kicked off the holy App Store all at once to whose every whim they usually answer, they’d actually finally bother fixing their shit.

The ones used for English? Sure. When it comes to other languages I certainly don’t know all of them though.

Though, that is at least partially due to me learning English as a second language so I’ve looked at these a lot in dictionaries.
