APNG wasn’t officially part of the spec?!

Without proper consequences their behaviour will continue.

It turns out that maybe having a gentlemen’s agreement for how things should work was a bad idea.

Mmmmm compiz. Wobbly windows, spinny cube virtual desktops, take me home!

I assume it was made to upsell people to better CPUs. Celerons have always been awful.

That said, if Win7 came preinstalled then we’re talking about different eras of Celeron, at least, I cannot imagine it would be as mediocre as a low-mid AMD CPU from 2004!

I always think of an ex of mine defending criticism of her craptop. “It was good for its time!” No, no it wasn’t. It was built around a Celeron. It was built to be trash. It was ewaste with extra steps.

Whilst the Celeron was indeed utter cack, 2 GB has me making four Yorkshiremen-style “2GB? Luxury!” style comments.

I used to run Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 1362 WMLi back in 2005. I had 512 MB of RAM and a 2800+ Sempron processor.

That said, looking at this:

My old Sempron was a better CPU than that piece of junk Celeron you’ve got there. Giving it 2GB of RAM is hilarious!

This makes me seriously question the level of testing required to get a licence where you are. By that I mean that by the standards I’m used to you were wildly under prepared for driving on the open road and shouldn’t have been put in that situation until you were ready.

It took me three attempts to pass my driving test. I could actually operate a car just fine for all of them but it wasn’t until the third that I was actually ready to be on the roads unsupervised. There is a lot going on and until you’ve built up the experience and habits to do it safely it’s… A lot.

I think I was also 19 when I got my licence but didn’t really drive at all until I was in my mid 30s. I always lived places it simply wasn’t necessary. If if stayed there then I doubt I’d have ever got a car. I find driving incredibly tedious.

Mick-rowave. Based on how Jen pronounces it in Bob’s Burgers

Which manufacturers make equivalents of the 6A? I don’t want to spend lots of money and basically only care about a decent camera. I barely use my phone by modern standards.

The Pixel 4A update made my phone completely unusable. The battery meter became meaningless and I had to replace the entire phone.

An update that functionally bricks the device does make me safer, I suppose, but frankly I’d rather choose whether to take the risk. Now is not a convenient time to replace this damn device.

Jesus, I moved from a Pixel 4A to 6A because of the damn issue. Should I flash LineageOS or something on here?

Phones haven’t got more interesting in a decade or more. As a result my willingness to pay more than we used to is extremely low.

What’s so WTF about it? I’m repurposing old hardware and testing out the concept. I’m not shelling out a pile of cash on something that might not work for me.

I hear that. Given I need practice in refactoring code to improve my skills, it’s not useless to me right now but overall it doesn’t seem like a net gain.

I’ve found it can just about be useful for “Here’s my data - make a schema of it” or “Here’s my function - make an argparse interface”. Stuff I could do myself but find very tedious. Then I check it, fix its various dumb assumptions, and go from there.

Mostly though it’s like working with an over-presumptuous junior. “Oh no, don’t do that, it’s a bad idea because security! What if (scenario that doesn’t apply)” (when doing something in a sandbox because the secured production bits aren’t yet online and I need to get some work done while IT fanny about fixing things for people that aren’t me).

Something I’ve found it useful for is as a natural language interface for queries that I don’t have the terminology for. As in “I’ve heard of this thing - give me an overview of what the library does?” or “I have this problem - what are popular solutions to it?”. Things where I only know one way to do it and it feels like there’s probably lots of other ways to accomplish it. I might well reject those, but it’s good to know what else exists.

In an ideal world that information would be more readily available elsewhere but search engines are such a bin fire these days.

These are internal drives connected to a desktop PSU wired to a USB interface to connect to the laptop.

Haha, yeah. It does make me wonder whether I should bin the whole TrueNAS approach entirely. It seems like a tremendous faff when I could just have the files mirrored to another disk as a backup.

The hard disks are on a separate power supply. The TrueNAS software is running on an old laptop so it effectively has UPS protection.

Yeah, another vote for Caddy. I’ve run nginx as a reverse proxy before and it wasn’t too bad, but Caddy is even easier. Needs naff-all resources too. My ProxMox VM for it has 256 MB of RAM!

Which logs specifically should I be checking?

zpool doesn’t see any pools to import. The system does see the disks but I’m not sure why the disks aren’t being checked for pools.
