I use Karch, btw.

Usually ~/devel/

On my work laptop I have separate subdirs for each project and basically try to mirror the Gitlab group/project structure because some fucktards like to split every project into 20 repos.

Exactly. But mods here are too butthurt to accept that and rather delete my comments, so they can live in their delusions - which was my point

As I wrote: sanctions. That’s what compliance means.

None. There is no model that can output anything even remotely usable on that tiny amount of RAM and certainly not using the few CPU cycles your vps has to offer.

The US default, that I never left Europe. What an achievement for the USA!

Oh come on, are you really that boneheaded not to understand that you’re not the norm?

I literally had not a single power surge in my entire life. The only power outages I had were for a few minutes maybe three times in the last 15 years.

The larping refers to you. Either you are truly an outlier who actually runs a small DC, or you just like the feeling you can get pretending to do so.

Your attitude is roughly the “only gold plated cables made from solid silver” equivalent in audiophiles. Technically maybe correct, practically a self-important waste of money.

But not for us.

That’s what I meant by larping. The vast vast majority of us here would probably not even notice if their systems went down for an hour. Yes, battery backup has its purpose. In a datacenter.

I mean, what’s on the line here in the worst case? 15min without jellyfin and home assistant? Does that warrant taking risks with old batteries or investing in new ones?

That equation might change if you’re in a place with truly unreliable electricity, but I guess those places have solutions in place already.

That’s typically a feature for servers or business desktops. Maybe your laptop has it, just look into the BIOS.

As I wrote in my other comment: try to be realistic about your needs. Chances are, pressing the power button every few months (if at all) is perfectly fine for your use case (and most others here).

And how much need is there for a UPS in this scenario - realistically.

Some of the people here take their admin-LARPing a tad too seriously. Most households have reliable enough electricity, and even if there’s an outage once every quarter, would a dead battery even help?

I advocate for being realistic with one’s own needs. Don’t build a five-nines datacenter for a glorified weather station or VCR.

In case you didn’t already do that: remove the battery. It’s probably dead anyway, you don’t need it and it poses a potential (albeit low) risk.

I’ve done the horrible deed of updating Debian, for example.

Distros like Arch get a pass, but Debian screwed me over several times. For example a few years ago, some driver decided to make itself clinge onto old kernel versions. So the boot partition got full and left me in a weird start where I had to manually remove old kernels and track down the driver at fault.

Recoverable, but annoying, and on a system I use for work it would be really really expensive.

Fedora used to nuke itself sometimes if you upgraded an install from version n to n+1, n+2, … Like a config not being migrated properly, a package conflict because of renamed packages and versions, yada yada yada.

If you didn’t experience that, you either were very lucky, only used enterprise distros, or simply reinstalled often enough for it not to be an issue.

2 days per frame.

That’s a question a hacker shouldn’t ever ask.

You are now. Herzlichen Glückwunsch.

That’s bullshit, we don’t do camel case!

Try teaching it German compounds. I’m a big fan of artisanal compounds, but getting spell check or the swipe-o-matic to accept them is an unwinnable battle.

I mean, what is his point? We should have worse software because then the devs are volunteers?

Is Linux now supposed to work like early Olympics?
