  • Yes, the keyring is a pain, also because I like to manually check all the keys. But then what often happens is that lots of configuration options have changed and you have to go through bunch of software to find out which exact package is now misconfigured and makes your system not work as it should.


  • Would not advise Debian to a new user. Old packages and difficulties installing non free software may frustrate people.

    I did use Debian as my daily driver and I have it in a few servers, it is a very good system. But to the common user stability is not the priority which should prevail over everything else.











  • The main reason I use git is it allows me to make mistakes without hard consequences. Any fuckup is just one reset away from being fixed. I like to: I have to fix this thing. While attempting to fix it I discover there is another thing that needs fixing on which everything revolves. I fix the second thing and commit. I’m now free to fuck around the code all I want and I’m sure I won’t lose that fix.

    For this I really like to use --fixup when I find out the change was not completely right or does not fit well with some other changes I need to do. I really like git absorb which automates this a bit.


  • Ahaha, yes video call Is always a pain in the butt for some reason. I now run fedora (but still only do major upgrades on a Saturday morning).

    I don’t know, at work we use Microsoft teams, often I get called into meet, zoom and others. The best working one to me is jitsy, that’s not to say it works flawlessly.

    I don’t know, sometimes they work on Firefox, sometimes they work on Chrome. Sometimes they do not work and I have to use the phone. Sometimes headphones microphone does not work. Sometimes headphones microphone works but audio goes through speaker and not headphones.

    I don’t know, I gave up attempting to fix all these things. Most of the times it’s more than one person in the call and we end up just joining together at the computer that works first. To be fair, my colleagues using windows are not free from these problems.
