First thing I’d do is to look at the client (fedora) journal for anything funky happening.

‘sudo systemctl status nfs-client’

Since it’s random I assume you won’t have any timeout in your /etc/fstab but it might be worth taking a look anyway.

Be aware that if the network drops the NFS will be disconnected and won’t auto-reconnect so this could also be the issue.

I don’t know if it plays well with container mounted volume, but looking at autofs could be a solution to auto-remount the share. I use it profusely for network mounted home directories.

I’m still in a mechanical engineering world so just saying INT and FLOAT has people running away. Excel is the “safe zone” for them, sadly it means that I’ll just be doing the VBA part and oh gawd please get me out of here…

Immutable distros works great when you want them exactly as they come. Anything else is a shit show IMHO.

As an example, multiple fedora based immutable distros dont have the codecs required to play YouTube videos. You have to either replace the rpm-ostree based Firefox with the flatpaks one or layer ffmpeg over the base system. Both solutions I wouldn’t expect someone without Linux knowledge to be able to do.

Can confirm. Was quite unhappy in my mechanical engineering job, had an opportunity to develop something nice in python, was told we’d do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.

I remember those questions! As soon as I read high school my mind went from “working for Canonical would be nice” to “let’s justify not writing an essay by reading everything bad about Canonical”.

Lucky for me it was easy as r/recruitinghell was full of post about people doing the whole process and being rejected. Also the CEO had a reddit account and the way he was justifying this process didn’t jive with me, at all.

VM is still windows tho, just one layer deeper.

Freecad is OK but it wouldn’t even be considered in a commercial setting like I’m working in. I work with Catia, Solidworks and Polyworks. None on those run on Linux.

Sadly Windows is still required for a lot of cad softwares.

Just tried both and I don’t know which one made me feel better

One felt like being run over by a train, the other felt I was a legless puppy in front of a kindergarten.

“OK then do me a favor, shut it down, unplug the power for 5 second and plug it back in”

I dunno, I’m getting tired of them

“Dasher, Dancer, Prancer…”

“His name is Meatball”

Having to install things mostly through flatpaks works seamlessly until it doesn’t. Then you’re stuck in dependency hell where you have to open holes in your containers to allow access to files or binaries.

I’m at a point where I layer enough software that I don’t know If there is still value added.

I’m currently trying Fedora Kinoite and from the get go the hassle of getting a proper Firefox+codecs to watch online videos feels like a major step back.

Then you have the issue of installing software in flatpack (is: vscode, texmaker) that are either not fully working of need to have their access tweaked. Atomic distros appeal is to “just work” it doesn’t seem like it does.

Dumb and Dumber: UwU edition

I use colemak-dhm btw

It doesn’t make sense, Forgejo just forked gitea and discarded all of the history (I.e.: issues and PR) previously included in gitea’s github repository. Of course they could host it on their own platform, it was already functional and they could start from a blank state.

tragically short life

That’s just all dogs and it’s up there in the list of the saddest part of life. It’s always living with the fact that yesterday he was a puppy and tomorrow you’ll have to say goodbye, but today, today is the best day of all.

FUSAK Biden.

At least a UK flag would make somewhat sense.
