  • What are some things that Linux can't do, but Windows can?
  • I get it.

    There are quite a few areas on the linux desktop that show obvious signs of too many choices and loose integration making it an unpolished experience.

    Outside of niches like online forums, people seem to think GUIs and marketing are what make something professional.

    In reality outside of individual use you really want to avoid GUIs in configuration so that you can be consistent. You shouldnt have to dig down into menus and click through lots of screens to do comparisons or set something up. Thats really where Microsoft's ecosystem is weakest right now. WinRM and powershell remoting lack polish in the same way wifi or bluetooth management in the linux desktop does

    You cant fully setup winrm with gpo, for example listener addresses get bound the first time its enabled with gpo and then its just stuck at that. If the system has it's ip changed you have to disable the gpo to make any changes and when you get it fixed it reverts when the policy is applied again

    Microsoft only seems to care about how things will be managed in their cloud now and all products for managing things locally are showing some rot. Sccm -> mecm -> mem is terrible, theyve even ending all training for tools for on premises management. All they do is azure training and certs now.

  • What are some things that Linux can't do, but Windows can?
  • You can absolutely go as nuts or more nuts with this on linux. You can do all kinds of hardening steps, and centrally deploy the policies with push or pull. Microsoft has even moved towards dsc (desired state configuration).

  • vimrule
  • I learned them and basically never use vim.

    I use sed if i need to change things with a pattern, cat the file if i need to see the contents, use head or tail if its too much to fit on the screen.

    If I am writing code, I use a code editor. Emacs and vim can do a lot, but they can also fuck off.

  • PHP is dead?
  • Other languages behind reverse proxies from apache httpd or nginx do not have the same memory hit. You can still blame php. Not my fault they tied their language to the webserver in a way that uses tons of extra memory.

  • PHP is dead?
  • Easy example. Have they fixed file upload behavior yet? Do they store the entire file in memory by default instead of chunking it and storing it as it comes in?

    If not it's like the worst memory usage of any language possible.

    If you have to go change the php.ini to adjust file upload sizes, it's not really moving forward and is decades behind other languages.

  • Why do people road rage?
  • In congested cities if you don't enter the intersection when its not completely clear then you'll have to wait ~40 minutes for a chance to go across. Waymo's riders have that as one of the biggest frustrations. Then theres a gridlock behind them.

    There's no winning with cars.

  • When I get a lack of sleep, I often have a splitting headache the next day. Other people never get any headaches. What's wrong with me?
  • I am on a cycle right now where I can't sleep without ambien and 300mcg melatonin. I've struggled with falling and/or staying asleep my whole life. My brain will calm down some and ill taper off of the ambien again at some point.

    Besides the long term health, i am just not a pleasure to be around if i run on no sleep.

  • When I get a lack of sleep, I often have a splitting headache the next day. Other people never get any headaches. What's wrong with me?
  • I still have some triptans, a couple different ones in the medicine cabinet. I can go a year without thinking i might need one. They make me feel like my brain is starved for oxygen or something like that.

    They do work, but if hydration, tylenol, or ibuprofen will help I'd rather use them.

  • When I get a lack of sleep, I often have a splitting headache the next day. Other people never get any headaches. What's wrong with me?
  • Yeah I think it went away at the start of my 30s. Definitely glad it's not a worry anymore.

    I can still get stress or dehydration headaches, but no constant small one that breaks through to eye stabbing with my heartbeat.

    I have heard it is common for them to go away by 30s.

  • When I get a lack of sleep, I often have a splitting headache the next day. Other people never get any headaches. What's wrong with me?
  • For a decent chunk of my early 20s i had to take amitriptyline a couple of hours before bedtime to prevent migraines. It also makes you sleep on cloud 9. I was on call at nights and there was no snapping out of the sleep pull, thats the only scenario I can think that it may not help.

    Talk to a doctor about it. I have had a couple of brain scans and don't have anything up there that looks bad. It just happens to some people.

  • I'm going to buy a House!
  • While I understand your perspective, it's worth noting that reactions to offenses, like many emotions, exist on a spectrum. Some individuals might experience deep hurt from a comment that others brush off with ease. While we can't always control our immediate emotional responses, we can cultivate resilience and perspective over time. Claiming that no one would choose to be offended might oversimplify a complex web of human emotions and social dynamics. Some might lean into being offended as a defense mechanism or to further a personal or societal narrative. Emotions are complex, and so are the reasons behind them.

  • I am trying to do something... _Special_
  • If you google "skr mini e3 v2 pinout" you can find 5v and ground pins. The question is how much load is already on it's 5v regulator and how much are you adding.

    You can power the pi from a buck converter or from whatever else.

    They apparently make an addon 5v buck converter for that board.

    Using a multimeter could help avoid frying more stuff.
