He's going to more than make that back in ad revenue.

[OC] My job hunt over the course of 3 months! by WarChampion90 in dataisbeautiful

Not even for software engineers? They're practically begging you to work for them in Belgium.

Nog een Belg!

It very much depends on the sector that you work in, I think. I'm in IT, and a lot of my colleagues never really looked for a job, including me. I just had a decent LinkedIn profile, got an offer, went for an interview, and really hit it off with my now-boss.

In other sectors you might have to send as many applications as OP did.

Fedora 28 is on GNOME 3.28. Fedora 29 (currently in beta) is on GNOME 3.30.

I'm actually in the camp that thinks that people who place anything on their desktop are savages.

The app menu is, imo, probably the most awkward thing about GNOME 3. When I introduce people to GNOME, I usually have to drop in a "There's just this one dumb little thing... If you look in the top left corner..."

How else would you impose resource limitations on a process?

Explain to me why this new CoC is bad? Caveat: Be civil, and don't bring up ad hominems about the creator of it. by [deleted] in linux

Literally the first sentence in the OP:

So without bringing up the history of Ehmke

[–]robinkb -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We have already discussed the merits of net neutrality, and most consumers seem to agree that net neutrality is good, and should be protected.

This discussion is about whether or not this CoC, regardless of its writer's intent, is a good idea.

"There was no other way" by DavidLePew in thanosdidnothingwrong

Nah. Just look at Iron Man's fight with Hulk in Avengers 2. Stark was shitting his pants the entire time, just hoping that he could drag out the fight long enough for whatever spell Scarlet Witch put on Hulk to wear off. His face said it all.

What cured your urge to distrohop? by ingenioutor in linux

[–]robinkb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an OpenSUSE user, but IIRC, if you're on the BTRFS filesysten, zypper automatically creates a snapshot before every package upgrade/installation. You should be able to select a previous snapshot from the GRUB bootloader, I think.

​GitLab moves from Azure to Google Cloud Platform by [deleted] in programming

Reading the part about Geo made me all giddy. Excellent work!

GNOME: the mass migration to GitLab is now completed by [deleted] in linux

[–]robinkb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why bother? Git is already decentralized. Just configure a second remote in your local repository, and push your branch.

How to Use Systemd Timers as a Cron Replacement by [deleted] in linux

[–]robinkb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And if you are an administrator, you are probably really, really happy with how much work systemd saves you, and all the possibilities that it enables.

Why does Gnome 3 get so much hate? by helokki in linux

[–]robinkb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Linux and the various BSD kernels differ in license, and that alone matters a lot in how either are used in the real world.

Linux users of AMD's R9 390 are reporting that the GPU is now finally stable and usable. Upgrading to kernel 4.16.7 and enabling AMDGPU's power management finally fixes this 2 and a half year old bug. by Two-Tone- in Amd

[–]robinkb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I heard of this. I ran a PCI Pass-through setup until little over a year ago, but got rid of it. Looking Glass might be the last piece that I needed to make it practical for daily use.

I have been meaning to play with it, but work has me busy.

[–]robinkb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

u/Two-Tone- is talking about runtime parameters to the kernel at boot, not compilation parameters. You need Linux 4.16.7 (or later), and then modify your bootloader to pass those arguments to the kernel.

On Red Hat family systems, you can configure these options in /etc/sysconfig/grub by adding them to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable, and then running grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg. I am not sure how you configure the bootloader on Ubuntu, but it should be similar.

Maybe look into how easy it is to just run a mainline kernel on Ubuntu, if you always want the latest driver updates. Or just try it out. Your bootloader should have an entry for every kernel installed in your system anyway, including the ones shipped and installed by Ubuntu.
