Does anyone else observe a weirdness with Docker registry 2.8.2 (default Ubuntu noble) where it won't accept layers because it thinks it aleady has them and then serve 0 byte 200s when asked for it which leads to "unexpected EOF" errors on deployments?
We ran the registry previously on Focal and it worked great for year. Upgrading breaks regularly despite us completely nuking the old contents incl Redis cache. There's currently also no deleting/maintanance b/c I thoug…

Have been running ubuntu 25.10 for a while. Lessons learned = forget AppImages, they don't run. New repos kills BalenaEtcher... I'm going back to the LTS even if it means reinstalling the system. This is bad

Machine Learning techniques are upending multiple scientific fields. Operational 5-day forecasting of air quality in 1 minute in this paper from Chinese researchers.
This is awesome work with very clear public health implications.
EDIT for clarity: I am.not suggesting LLMs have anything to do with this work, but many people hear AI and imagine LLMs. And many of them.are perhaps rightly sceptical of AI as a result.
But AI or ML techniques can be useful for lots of things, not just chatbots. And we should probably invest more in those.

The multiple file GUI for ubuntu is not great. On windows you can incriment file numbers starting from any number... ubuntu lets you pick number format but it always starts from 1.
This is only a pain because of me ripping DVDs and trying to number episodes.

Switching to Sway (Wayland) from i3 (X11) on Ubuntu 20.04
When I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 LTS, I finally took the plunge and switched from the i3 window manager on X11 to Sway, an almost drop-in Wayland replacement. Here's my experience of the transition. Here be Dragons Tiling window managers are not for the faint of

OpenClaw is What Apple Intelligence Should Have Been
Yep.
I run my instance on Ubuntu Server in a Proxmox VM in my home lab, but it would be nice to take advantage of some of the Apple-specific workflows on a dedicated Mac Mini.

My ubuntu had another very bad wake up from suspension. Could barely get the login to present. typing was mega slow. Mouse barely moved. Did manage to open the UI to restart the machine this time.
After restart I used claude to see if it could find the reason. It found a USB device (my external cd drive) that was spamming errors. I could see the errors stop when I unplugged it.
How embarrassing for ubuntu that it lets those errors grind the system to a halt.

Easter test weekend, initial findings. 😎
:fedora: On Fedora 44 Beta GNOME Edition, the file manager crashes every time I try to access my NAS. There are also frequent freezes with apps that weren’t included by default and were installed later.
:ubuntu: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS also comes with GNOME 50, and unlike Fedora, it already includes kernel 7.0, which is great—especially for the latest hardware. This beta also seems to run more smoothly and stably than Fedora’s beta.
Howev…

I'm waiting for Joe Biden's modeling debut. 😉
