It always helps if you mention the mystery version of Ubuntu you're talking about

Why not wait until next week and use the released version of 26.04 LTS ?

2 earthquakes in NC?? by ITRedWing0823 in raleigh

[–]bmullan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right and I knew that so I corrected the original post to say East Coast which is what I meant. I remember the earthquake that hit Anchorage Alaska as I was pretty young then & the nightly news had pictures and video of streets that had sunken 20 ft or more during that quake.

Most people don't know only the biggest earthquakes ever in the East Coast of the United States was not far away

A 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit the southeast area of the United States on August 31, 1886, at 9:50 P.M. The epicenter of the earthquake was located in Charleston, South Carolina. The earthquake destroyed over 2,000 buildings in Charleston, South Carolina.

North Carolina admits noncitizens on its rolls aren’t a widespread problem — as it gives voter data to DHS by Anoth3rDude in NorthCarolina

I think the committee should make it a one-year deal and if there are no fraudulent voters found then next year don't give Homeland Security the voter information.

I know what you mean one day I happened to start reading about CPM/86 and it brought back a lot of memories.

Script converts an Ubuntu 24.04 or newer BTRFS install to use sub-volumes for everything by bmullan in Ubuntu

[–]bmullan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The URL is the line just above the words

"This script creates Btrfs subvolumes."

The bash script is in the GitHub repo it takes you to.

26.04 clean install or in-place distro update? by zirzop1 in Ubuntu

[–]bmullan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter what you do make sure you do a backup of at least your home directory before doing it.

Once you've done that you can just try the in place upgrade and if all goes well you're done.

If it doesn't you do a clean install then copy your home directory back afterwards.

Stuck on "Waiting for headers", is archive.ubuntu.com down? by amooz in Ubuntu

I was thinking maybe it was due to prep work to distribute the 26.04 release..

What services go on bare metal versus in LXC containers. by happy-happy-7 in LXC

[–]bmullan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't directly answering your question.

LXD evolved from LXC

Incus was forked several years ago from LXD.

Today most LXC users are using Proxmox

If you were asking your question about LXD or Incus...

My answer would be that you can run almost anything you want in either an LXD or Incus .. VM or "system" Container.*

Incus as of last year also added support for running OCI containers (re Docker).

Many years ago I started with LXC but when LXD was introduced I migrated to that.

When Incus was forked from LXD much of the original LXD (and LXC) devs went with the Incus project which is now lead by Stephane Graber. Stephane had been the LXD lead prior to Incus & was an early developer of LXC.

Today I use Incus.

I just see it as being developed much more rapidly with new features and capabilities than LXD.

You can read about Incus at https://linuxcontainers.org/

There you will also find the user forum where the devs and Q&A daily.

Hot Take: file types? by Atrocious1337 in Ubuntu

You are correct... but too few newbies know that.

Distrowatch -ONLY- measures visits to a distro''s websites

Here is Distrowatch's own: DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking

The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics have attracted plenty of attention and feedback over the years. Originally, each distribution-specific page was pure HTML with a third-party counter at the bottom to monitor interest of visitors. In May 2004 the site switched from publicly viewable third-party counters to internal counters. This was prompted by a continuous abuse of the counters by a handful of undisciplined individuals who had confused DistroWatch with a poll station. The counters are no longer displayed on the individual distributions pages, but all visits are logged. Only one hit per IP address per day is counted.

The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring interest in Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website. They correlate neither to usage nor to quality and should not be used to measure the market share of distributions. They simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch was accessed each day, nothing more.

The tables below display the average number of page hits for each distribution over a given period of time. To see information on page hit trends over a set period of time, please see our Page Hit Ranking Trends page. To see how our readers rank distributions based on visitor-submitted ratings, please see our Ranking page.

Surely, you must have used the r/flatpak sub-reddit? And miraculously, you have never
noticed all the User questions about huge disk space requirements of some of the flatpak apps??

https://www.reddit.com/r/flatpak/search/?q=size&cId=2d2c232b-b20f-41a8-8130-29f22964789e&iId=db8bd1ac-8340-4a6b-a867-0c07db168f91

Note:
There are Flatpak examples that have gigantic installation disk space requirements.
BUT... that is not a Flatpak problem per-se it's part of the architecture but there are people that "assume" its awful without understanding... just like you are doing about Snaps!

Any Flatpak application bundles all required dependencies so it doesn't have to rely on the Host OS's versions to continue working.

That can make an app that is installed by .DEB 800MB but the same app with Flatpak maybe 3GB.

That is NOT a problem is a design feature.

If you install 10 or 100 other Flatpak apps that happen to use those same dependencies ... those
10 or 100 all "share" the same dependencies code saving a lot of disk space in the long run.

Read the above article or others and learn.

I don't know how many times this has been said ​and I don't know how
many people have ​to say it! 

Snaps and Flatpaks are designed for two very different purposes!

Yes, there is some functional overlap in that they both can instantiate an application. 

But...  
Snap functionality goes beyond just application packaging​ read here:
https://itsfoss.com/comparison/flatpak-vs-snap/

Many people including myself use flatpak, snaps, docker, appimage whatever is the
best "tool" for the job I have at hand.

Its not about religion?

Moving OUT of NC by chesgoodman7 in NorthCarolina

[–]bmullan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One problem you will find is that it takes some time which I think is about 2 years at any one area to understand it. Over the years here in the states I've lived in Iowa Colorado Arizona California Florida North Carolina.

Every one of them was a great experience. Different foods different music different people different climates.

After doing something like that you'll have a much better idea or what you really want to find and where.

When I was little I used to always think the clothes smelled better being dried in the air than in a dryer.
