Networks of interactions among users from four online Q&A sites: Stack Overflow, Math Overflow, Super User, and Ask Ubuntu. A directed edge (i,j) indicates a user i responded to user j's post. Edges are timestamped. For each Q&A site, four differently defined networks are provided, based on the definition of an edge: (i) a user answered a question, (ii) a user commented on a question, (iii) a user commented on an answer…

So, now I have the macbook pro 2019 with an i7 intel in it running ubuntu from the T2 project. It eats... no devours battery while doing it's slow cooking of my legs. It's a bit disappointing, but I got it for cheap - and I'm dual booting so.... Ubuntu for places with a power outlet (linux is more fun) and MacOS when battery is essential. I can live with that...
Next project is installing auto_cpufreq to see if I can do something about the heat and cpu speed.

Does anybody else use Arch (btw) as one of their CI runner platforms for the explicit purpose of being a "canary in the coal mine" for breaking changes coming down the pipeline in some dependency?
Like, sure we have some users on Arch.
But what I care more about is that whatever breaks on Arch today will probably break in, say, the next Ubuntu release, and the Debian release after that. I don't want that to be a surprise.

TL;DR: Node’s standalone binaries have been broken on major Linux distributions since version 25. Stay on 24 if you need them functional by default.
If you’re installing Node.js via a standalone binary package, think twice before upgrading to Node 26.
On many Linux distributions these binaries will fail unless you separately install libatomic.so.1.

Anyway, you should probably make sure your Linux servers have the latest security patches, especially for the kernel.

Got the desktop-turned-VM-server added to the scopehal CI cluster.
I migrated the two Ubuntu LTS builder instances over to it, and added a third one so now we can run the regular Ubuntu CI, the asan/ubsan build, and the static analysis pass concurrently.
This box has a Xeon 5320 which is a bit slower than the 8362 on the main VM server, and has only 128GB of RAM rather than 512. But the compute-to-memory ratio is actually higher so after a bit of iteration I settled on 16 vCPUs a…

This incite in to what my ubuntu system is doing that would have taken hours of time to research if I ever could have learned it at all had I not used an LLM. I'll continue to caveat that LLMs have many many things about them that are bad on multiple levels.
Using LLMs to fix system problems is doing something I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

It's becoming increasingly clear that I'll need to jump ship from Ubuntu very soon. I've been using linux as my only os for several years now, and I originally chose Ubuntu because I wanted web searches for "<error message> <distro name>" to generally just give me an answer. But every release has made things harder (like avoiding snap) and canonical seems dead set on driving their…

The moment you realize you only got about a year left to replace/upgrade a server running Ubuntu 22.04 at your parents' place
(the reason I say replace first is that, because these major updates can be pretty messy, my approach is to stay on the same LTS and reinstall or physically replace servers as I see fit)

The current version of Gradle in Ubuntu (Pop!_OS for me) is some 4.4 release ... which is from December 2017. Yes, 9 years old!
I get the idea of "stability", but this is far beyond reasonable. It's great that I can build ancient software with this still today, but I can't build anything even somewhat recent.
So my `~/bin/` keeps piling up more and more stuff because of this.

How are you going to replace Debian on servers? Ubuntu is based on Debian, and it is not known for taking a more ethical stance than Debian.
The other server distros are based on IBM's Red Hat, and I do not trust IBM.

I bought an 11” iPad to replace my older 12.9” iPad recently. I did all the things that I really wanted to figure out with it (like “How do I write code on it?”) but it has an M3 chip and I want to see if I can get an Ubuntu VM running locally. I tried UTM SE (SE stands for “slow edition”) and it is not usable. I am tempted to jailbreak it so that I can run the full version of UTM.
I have WiFI and 5G (Global eSIM) for when they are available. It would be nice to not need either to code.
