I'm here so you guys scream at me to try to convince me to use anything but a noobuntu distro.

After support for W10 ends I'm switching my 14 years old home desktop computer into something a bit more recent, and I'm genuinely considering using GNU+Linux as my "main driver" as kids say nowadays.

I have a lot of experience using Mint as that was my distro of choice for nearly 14 months, I think Cinnamon is an eyesore but otherwise it just werks and I could do almost everything I wanted to do except running Game Maker Studio 2 which is only available on Ubuntu according to the devs.

I'm considering using Kubuntu since KDE Plasma looks sick and it's basically Ubuntu so I can consoom my noob gamedev kit in peace.

As an addendum I hate "rolling distros". Manjaro is an abomination where things just werk against you if you're not a giga turbonerd who's on the computer 24/7 and derives sexual pleasure from fixing tech issues.

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but the ability to create ephemeral shells is something I use more or less daily. Here is a blog post that might make the concept clearer: https://www.futurile.net/2023/04/29/guix-shell-virtual-environments-containers/

You can install both guix and nix on other distros, so you can play around with this without distrohopping.

>>28840
Yeah, i don't really need something like this. The only place where i would use reproducable builds would be a minimal server setup and i'd rather just write a couple shell scripts for that.

>>28841
Ephemeral shells I use not so much for reproducibility as for convenience, similarly to how you use python virtualenvs to avoid cluttering your profile with python packages. Whether this makes any difference to you depends on the types of tasks you do.

>>28842
>Whether this makes any difference to you depends on the types of tasks you do.
It doesn't really. The environments of my desktop is polluted by things from under /usr/local and orphan files from multiple releases back and i don't see anything wrong with this. For the chroots and servers i work with it's either similar or control is tight enough that rolling my own is the most attractive of all options. Sorry, but i don't want guix to compile the jungle on my banana server.

Emacs is your best bet then

I just have come across some money and I want to build a new gaming PC, my old pc is starting to show its age. Where do I start? I have a 3000 dollar budget. Looking for a high end gpu, The best cpu and and can carry a blueray player.

>>24575
3000 is an insane amount lol. I recently upgraded and the most difficult thing to choose was the mobo actually. Huge differences in price and hard to discern for what reason.

Why don't you consult reddit?

I guess first choice to make would be if you are gonna go with Amd or intel and amd or nvidia. Thrn when you figure that out just get whatever the newest flagship is. Then pick mobo that works for the chipset. Whatever the best ssd is for your main drive. Ram highest clock speed. Probably want to go ddr5 but I hear there isn't much of an advantage currently. That's about it. Case doesn't matter just get one you think looks kewl.

>>24576
>look it up
>top of the line geforce costs 1800 now
Damn. Well splurge on the graphics card more than the proccessor for gaming. Gaming doesn't need a super cpu. Also splurge on the ssd if you want better loading times.

if you want an internal blu ray drive, then you need a compatible SATA connector on the motherboard and a properly sized optical drive bay (5.25", half height) on the case, i think

>>24575
What'd you end up doing OP?
I'm thinking about pairing a 98003XD with a 9070 XT

>>28852
Get a used Nvidia GPU instead of AMD. Framegen and Raytracing run like shit, but they're the way gaming is headed sadly.

<Based on the recently introduced DeepSeek V3 mixture-of-experts model, DeepSeek-R1 matches the performance of o1, OpenAI’s frontier reasoning LLM, across math, coding and reasoning tasks. The best part? It does this at a much more tempting cost, proving to be 90-95% more affordable than the latter.
<Specifically, where OpenAI o1 costs $15 per million input tokens and $60 per million output tokens, DeepSeek Reasoner, which is based on the R1 model, costs $0.55 per million input and $2.19 per million output tokens.
https://xcancel.com/DrJimFan/status/1881353126210687089
<DeepSeek-R1 not only open-sources a barrage of models but also spills all the training secrets. They are perhaps the first OSS project that shows major, sustained growth of an RL flywheel.

Read the paper yourself. https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1
>Reasoning tasks: (1) DeepSeek-R1 achieves a score of 79.8% Pass@1 on AIME 2024, slightly surpassing OpenAI-o1-1217. On MATH-500, it attains an impressive score of 97.3%, performing on par with OpenAI-o1-1217 and significantly outperforming other models. (2) On coding-related tasks, DeepSeek-R1 demonstrates expert level in code competition tasks, as it achieves 2,029 Elo rating on Codeforces outperforming 96.3% human participants in the competition. For engineering-related tasks, DeepSeek-R1 performs slightly better than DeepSeek-V3, which could help developers in real world tasks.
>Knowledge: On benchmarks such as MMLU, MMLU-Pro, and GPQA Diamond, DeepSeek R1 achieves outstanding results, significantly outperforming DeepSeek-V3 with scores of 90.8% on MMLU, 84.0% on MMLU-Pro, and 71.5% on GPQA Diamond. While its performance is slightly below that of OpenAI-o1-1217 on these benchmarks, DeepSeek-R1 surpasses other closed-source models, demonstrating its competitive edge in educationaPost too long.

They already made a "de-CCPd" version of Deepseek that properly calls Xi Jinping an authoritarian dictator like it says on wikipedia and repeats Adrian Zenz word for word on what is really going on in Xinjiang.

Ahem… FUCK LIBERALS!! FUCK SILICON VALLEY TECHBROS AND THEIR SLIMY LITTLE GUTS!!

I'm subscribed to some blogs and feed aggregators but that's all.

wtf is an "indie/personal" web lol?

seems like you just mean websites, which is what the web was supposed to be and actually was until normoids turned it into just instagram/facebook/tiktok/twitter/google.

Seems like there's an uptake in people making/becomeing aware of normal websites outside the corpo bubble.

Is AGILE a meme?
>Agile software development is an umbrella term for approaches to developing software that reflect the values and principles agreed upon by The Agile Alliance, a group of 17 software practitioners in 2001.

I think agile is overrated and has become a way for consultants to grift and every response to the failure of an agile project is "it wasn't AGILE enough, it didn't truly have managerial buy in" rather than admitting something is wrong with it.

Agile has some good principles. Capitalism or corporate life tends to take anything and turn it into it's opposite lol. It becomes a rigid way of working that makes things move slow.

>>26448
There is always a vehement agile-hater present, and they are always correct. (If you didn't post, I would have.)
All of these methodologies become antipatterns when misapplied anyway. There is no one-size-fits-all.

Agile is just micromanagement

<the daily meeting is to get you to say that you will finish something asap and when it isn't finished in the time "WE committed to" to humiliate you in public for being a slacker
<the "sprint" structure is to get you to commit to releasing a pre-determined (feature is urgent, has to be released asap, business growth depends on it) amount of work in 2 weeks max.
<since agile is about "empowering developers", you are now empowered to commit to releasing what is needed in 2 weeks and if you can't business fails because of you. You committed to release in 2 weeks, why isn't it there?
<how fast or slow you do the work is represented by the "velocty" of the "burndown chart" or something which if it doesn't look as expected, is hard data indicating that you aren't working hard enough.
<bug-fixing is simply not a thing because why are there bugs? the requirement was explained to you in endless hours long planning, grooming, stand-up, retrospective, governance, compliance, review, etc. meetings. if there are bugs it means that you aren't doing the job properly. how hard can it be when AI can produce the same code in minutes.
<if the changes made in the sprint do not produce the intended business gains in the next month/quarter, was the change really needed? who authorized it?

>but le waterfall!! my aGiLe tRaNsFoRmAtIoN "empowered developers" to "deliver value" and "scale up" to "unicorn status"

Just wanted to share a very good article/blog I found on the recent ramping of big tech attacks against APIs and alternative frontends. Let's discuss possible ways of dealing with this in the best of ways. I have personally been relying on these since they appeared, for several years.

https://denshi.org/blog/the-downfall-of-alternative-frontends/
>It seems like just yesterday, everyone was using and recommending privacy-friendly and open-source frontends to popular social media sites. Every major website had one of these: Twitter had Nitter, Reddit had Libreddit and Teddit, YouTube had Invidious and Piped, Instagram had Bibliogram and TikTok had ProxiTok. Even sites like Medium, Imgur and Quora were no exception, with open source frontends being developed for them as well. To go with all these frontends, there were various browser extensions like libredirect that would automatically redirect any social media link to its open-source frontend counterpart.
>However, within the past year or so, nearly all of these frontends have been discontinued or rendered practically unusable. What happened?
