I guess tarp is what I meant.

Carp for best results, may be substituted with salmon or tuna but do not expect the same quality.

I am convinced editors got the joke and now shuffle reviewers around just so that the worst one is reviewer 2.

Anything that involves statistical mechanics is just black magic. There should be a Nobel prize just for people who are able to wrap their mind around it.

Me: oh it's a reaction scheme, so they start with this and end up with this. I'll assume everything in the middle is correct and they get what I asked them.

Also you harvest them every two weeks. Want to sell them already? Just stick them under a plastic carp for a couple of days and they'll be ripe and yellow.

The bad part is loading trucks of bananas is hard work, those things are heavy.

People are working on that already. Did not work until now as far as I know.

This is a problem that has been known for a while.

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.

Rented a flat from a family for 3 years. The flat had not been renewed in over 60 years, but I was alright with that. The flat had several problems, they never wanted to fix.

One day the electrical system starts going out over and over again, fuses would burn every few days. I had to tell them that in case of fire they'd be responsible for everything I had in the house before they agreed they should fix the electric system.

Since they were going to fix the electric system, they decided to do a bit more work and change the floor and a few things more. They wanted to increase the rent 50% to account for these improvements; even though that is illegal I accepted, since they were in fact improving the flat.

I had to move out for two months while the works were going on. One week before the end of the works, the flat was really not done yet. I asked several times whether it would be ready, because I'd need to find and accomodation in the meanwhile. I asked for a discount of half a month so that I could cover expenses and because nobody knew when they would actually complete the works.

The day before I was supposed to get back into the flat, they decided that I was posing way too many conditions and kicked me out. They decided to keep the safety deposit because a plastic floor old over 60 years had started cracking. 8 months later, they still have some boxes of stuff which is mine but never have time to meet me to give it back to me.

Time has passed and I still have to go to a lawyer, because I the meanwhile I had a bunch of trouble to solve. I'm sure I can win a trial against them, but even if I do win the trial I'll have gone through a bunch of trouble just to get my safety deposit back. I'll be doing it just because they need to fuck off, but still...

Now, most people renting places were I live are exactly like this. It is not big corporations, it people who got one or maybe a few flats on rent.

One time I did not update an arch system for something like 6 months... You can't immagine the troubles I needed to go through to get it into a working state.

[-] ranzispa@mander.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

I used arch extensively. I still have it in a laptop I switch on from time to time. I stopped running it mostly because it is rolling release. I didn't get many problems, but sometimes you do and sometimes you have to spend an hour figuring out what the problem is and how to fix it. I don't want to wake up in the morning with an important video call set up and be unable to participate because the pipe wire config file has been corrupted during update.

Other than that, arch is a good system. But I'd rather keep it on hardware I know I can be without for a day or two if the case comes up.
