I owe a run to two early successful wheels in a row, praise be RNGesus

It's not that far-fetched, PDFs in my opinion are closer to vector graphics than to document formats like odt and docx. They have no understanding of format if not using advanced features, like a table in a PDF is just spaced text with lines between them, and text is just independently placed letters. In fact the space symbol doesn't exist in most PDFs, it's just that two letters were spaced further apart. So they basically are multiple canvases that are being painted on with letters, lines, fill areas and even bitmap graphics.

Modern PDF actually does further in the direction of a document format by providing the content in a structured way, mostly for accessibility, but also for making the format suitable for automatic processing the contained data.

Then those containers or virtual machines should add this or create the home as needed.

systemd has its own containers, so this is the implementation of that requirement; "virtual machines" might use this exact binary to create home, among other directories like srv and what not. Someone at one point probably said "we always need to create these when spinning up systems, maybe systems can provide a mechanism to do that for us?" and then it was implemented.

Having/home listed as a tmp file on regular systems is problematic by the nature of what tmpfiles claims it does.

systemd-tmpfiles claims the following:

systemd-tmpfiles creates, deletes, and cleans up files and directories, using the configuration file format and location specified in tmpfiles.d(5). Historically, it was designed to manage volatile and temporary files, as the name suggests, but it provides generic file management functionality and can be used to manage any kind of files.

I rather think having a purge command was the issue here, at the very least it should print a big fat warning at what it does, better even list all affected files and directories. There's no reason a normal user needs this and with the name of the binary, it's totally misleading, which is an issue in these situations.

E.g. for quick provisioning of containers or virtual machines, this is also to make sure the required directories always exist. In a normal distribution, /home already exists, so systemd-tmpfiles does nothing, but there are cases where you want to setup a standard directory structure and this is a declarative alternative to scripts with a lot of mkdir, chmod and chown.

The name systemd-tmpfiles is kind of historic at this point, but wasn't changed due to backwards compatibility and all.

Not being able to Syu every 5 minutes and only being able to update once a day was the biggest challenge when I changed to NixOS

Wagenknechts Inkompetenz bei der Beurteilung Putins steht allerdings zweifelsfrei fest. Am 20. Februar 2022 sagte sie in der ARD-Sendung „Anne Will“, der russische Präsident habe „faktisch kein Interesse daran, in die Ukraine einzumarschieren, natürlich nicht“. Sie fügte hinzu: „Wir können heilfroh sein, dass Wladimir Putin nicht so ist, wie er dargestellt wird: ein durchgeknallter russischer Nationalist, der sich daran berauscht, Grenzen zu verschieben.“ Zwei Tage später begann Putin dann den schlimmsten Krieg, den Europa seit 1945 erlebt hat.

Jedes Mal, wenn sie irgendwas in irgendwelchen Talkshows zu den Thema äußert, sollte man das einspielen, nur so zur Einordnung der Person.

This would be somewhat interesting if it wasn't for the fact that most of the countries in BRICS had massive human rights issues themselves or weren't otherwise problematic:

Brazil: massive problems under Bolsonaro, luckily he's no longer president

Russia: was against Ukraine, Mafia gas station state, oppression of homosexuals. Assassinated Nationals on foreign soil.

India: Hindu ethnostate with a caste system, also assassinated Nationals on foreign soil.

China: destabilizing source that uses economic influence to sabotage Western ones through state-sponsored espionage and other measures. Oppression of religious groups (Uighur, abduction of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima...), massive surveillance of its own population...

South Africa: actually probably the best of the bunch since apartheid ended though definitely not without issues

If they want so much, they can have their own financial system, but no other country can be forced to participate. It's just nose again to detract from their own crimes. Which is a shame because they're important topics that are being hijacked by these assholes. Especially the point of "unilateral protectionist measures" by a group that China is a member of is morning but ridiculous.

Genius

I don't really understand the comments here. This is not about vaping being banned, just the flavored variant (which I do have several issues with).

Why would people not just switch to unflavored vaping instead of smoking? The article notes the ban doesn't seem to affect older vapers, which makes sense, as the flavored ones are tailored towards younger consumers, which is my main issue. They vape flavorless instead or have been doing it anyways. But why, if your strawberry cheesecake nicotine hit is no longer available, would you not switch to flavorless but instead to a taste that might be straight from the garbage?

Or maybe a Dota-inspired collectible card game? 🙃
