| cmaloney | DOes it have the part where Mehdi Ali fucked up everything? | 01:45 |
| cmaloney | and then called himself a CEO genius despite being a complete fuck-up? | 01:45 |

| jrwren | anyone have a favorite "run off USB" distro? my wife's laptop's SSD died... its integrated... no great way to replace it. | 15:57 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Other than Ubuntu with scratch space? I haven't tried any lately. | 15:58 |
| jrwren | i'll lean that way then. | 15:59 |
| jrwren | or... i just had crazy idea of taping a USB to ssd onto the back or bottom and using that. | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 16:06 |

| jrwren | another rant | 16:40 |
| cmaloney | There's always got to be one shit-storm per release | 16:55 |
| cmaloney | Wow, the reddit thread is basically hate for snaps | 17:04 |
| cmaloney | I've yet to see any advocacy for snaps from anyone (outside of Canonical folks) | 17:04 |
| jrwren | link plz | 17:04 |
| cmaloney | https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/gc7p1t/ubuntu_2004_lts_snap_obsession_has_snapped_me_off/ | 17:05 |
| jrwren | well, ya know I'm anti snap, but there is a lot of stupid in them reddit comments | 17:18 |
| greg-g | This is about right, though: "Haha, the future is downloading straight-up complete VM system images." | 17:29 |
| jrwren | 'cept it wasn't at all. not even snaps do that. | 17:32 |
| jrwren | in fact, NOT doing that is the whole point of ubuntu-core | 17:32 |
| jrwren | i actually like the idea of a standard base core system. so you know which libs you don't have to ship, and you ship everything else that you need. | 17:33 |
| jrwren | Works great for mac, win, ios, android. Linux systems would do well to adopt. | 17:33 |
| jrwren | that said... i love hyperbole, and I htink that is what it was, so I should STFU. | 17:40 |
| jrwren | sorry. | 17:40 |
| jrwren | "rue story: I was using kubectl commands over and over to debug an issue (luckily it wasn't a production issue), when suddenly I wasn't a valid user on the cluster anymore. Turns out kubectl was shelling out to the awscli command, which was installed via Snap. Snap had somehow decided to revert to a previous AWS version (from 1.17 to 1.15!) while I was typing a command, so it broke my kubernetes | 17:40 |
| jrwren | I like this: | 17:40 |
| jrwren | authentication. No cool Snap, I'm never trusting you again." | 17:40 |
| greg-g | yeah, I read it as hyperbole ;) | 17:45 |
| jrwren | i'm slow | 19:31 |
