  • Here is the 15 sec coding test I used to instantly filter out most applicants

  • I am not a coder. How does that equal to 1? That for to me reads x in 3 to 5 in steps of 3 so that will only take 3 and that's it. That means it will be on the else branch of the if and since result is 0 initially then it becomes 3. For exits and that is that. What am I missing?

  • RPI is great but you have to consider SD card wear. It will not last you forever and at one point will fail. At that moment your dns is no more.

  • This problem could be solved if funding was also awarded to projects that can verify important results like this. Effectively allow scientists to verify the results thoroughly. This means to redo the entire study! Peer review is there to catch blatant lapses in logic and basic science. But in order to see if those results are as they say you have to redo it.

    There is a lot of trust between scientists that they will act morally and truthfully but these days when funding is scarce and pressure is high some will resort to all sorts of shortcuts. The most used is over inflated goals to get the funding. That is benign enough. Others will tweak the results to get ahead and claim their place in front of the others and hope to fix the problem down the line.

    Funding doesn't allow repeat studies, studies with ideas too close to what has been done before etc. Also the time allotted is too short. 3 years is not enough to go from zero to finished idea ready for the market, yet that's the aim most of the time. How on earth do people think anyone will have the time and brain space to verify what others have done and force them to retract it?

    I can see how people can start to be skeptical of science but the truth of the matter is that science should be funded without the expectation of profitability in the short term. People should demand better funding for schools and research. And then ask that all science of held to the highest standard at all times! Having cheap fast science to the highest standard doesn't work! If you don't believe me have a look at the titan submersible to get an idea. We wouldn't be here posting messages on this platform if science was funded the same 80 years ago.

  • What's the advantages/disadvantages to hosting Nextcloud with Docker vs the Package Center on a Synology?

    Jump

  • So if I have a nextcloud VM since forever, should I consider switching to docker now? I seem to remember something way back when that vms were better than a docker install for nextcloud

  • don't tell me, tell OP! I was just trying to read in their documentation how you connect a bluetooth keyboard. i did find a lot of posts from people having many problems with keyboards and controllers. it could be that either the kb model is not compatible or there is some issue with the bluetooth controller in this beginner friendly distro, that is not a distro in the traditional sense! (their words, not mine)

  • I keep reading their documentation and wow oh wow! This is from their FAQ:

     
        
Is this another fringe Linux distribution?¶

Bazzite is not a Linux distribution in the traditional sense. Yes, it is a Linux operating system that is distributed for the public to use however it is a custom Fedora Atomic Desktop image with a recipe on top of it. Universal Blue images are a proof of concept of using containerized workflows with transactional and in-place operating system updates, and Bazzite exists by being gaming focused with inspiration from SteamOS. Bazzite is a Fedora Atomic Desktop installation, but with the aid of Universal Blue's tooling, adds packages, services, drivers, etc. to the base image of it. Bazzite is using a new "container-native" approach that Fedora has been testing, and we are taking full advantage of it. The team is utilizing the Open Container Initiative (OCI) to build the images, and are adding packages, services, and kernel modules to existing Fedora operating systems.

Unlike traditional Linux distributions, most of the maintenance and security updates are done upstream by Fedora and Universal Blue contributors while the primary Bazzite maintainers only have to focus on creating a great experience for an OS geared towards playing video games. Bazzite provides several images that all get the same additions and fixes through updates at the same time unless specified otherwise. There can be a hypothetical scenario where everyone involved with Bazzite could stop maintaining the project at once and it will still continue to receive updates directly from upstream until the scheduled builds are broken.

The purpose of Bazzite is to be Fedora Linux, but provide a great gaming experience out of the box while also being an alternative operating system for the Steam Deck and other handheld devices.

    This screams beginner distro to me!

  • the most immediate one i'd say is how to connect the keyboard... there could be others too. don't know. i tried to look for bluetooth on their documentation but they have no mention of the word.

  • But is this any different than what is happening here with a supposedly beginner friendly gaming distro?

  • Endeavour is explicitly not for new users

    There is no such thing man. It just works really. But I am not trying to sell this distro, just saying that an immutable distro for a beginner is much more of a black box than any of the "advanced" distros people are afraid of. sure if you are luck and everything works with the immutable, awesome. if it doesn't? then you need the "advanced" stuff anyway. and by that I mean read some documentation.

  • ok OP what model keyboard do you have? maybe I should have started with this.

    my point i was trying to make is: these days if you want to use linux and game, just install a "normal" distro without fear of what you read online. 99% of the stuff about arch based distros (except for maybe arch itself, i don't have experience with pure arch) is simply fearmongering. stuff just works. Want to connect a mouse? Done. Keyboard? No problem. Same can be said about distros like mint and such. I wouldn't bother with ubuntu these days.

    i keep seeing so many comments about stuff that breaks and doesn't work in linux but this is just not the case! unless you break it. in windows stuff would work, or not depending on how old the equipment was. there wasn't much you could do about it. in linux you have options provided you don't jump feet first into an immutable distro intended mostly for gaming.

    my extra point is: ditch bazite and switch to a saner distro!
