[01:45] <cmaloney> nice!
[01:45] <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?

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

[16:40] <jrwren> another rant
[16:55] <cmaloney> There's always got to be one shit-storm per release
[17:04] <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
[17:05] <cmaloney> https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/gc7p1t/ubuntu_2004_lts_snap_obsession_has_snapped_me_off/
[17:18] <jrwren> well, ya know I'm anti snap, but there is a lot of stupid in them reddit comments
[17:29] <greg-g> This is about right, though: "Haha, the future is downloading straight-up complete VM system images."
[17:32] <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
[17:33] <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.
[17:40] <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."
[17:45] <greg-g> yeah, I read it as hyperbole ;)
[19:31] <jrwren> i'm slow
