@happy gah, I should go next year while I'm still in the UK.

The UK is not ready for the next global pandemic because public services are being dismantled and key research is being defunded, experts have claimed.

More than three years after the global outbreak of coronavirus, top scientists have warned that the UK is no better prepared for a pandemic than it was in 2020.

85 years ago.

In April 1938, Guy Callendar published his seminal paper showing that Earth’s land areas had warmed over the previous 50 years.

He also suggested that man-made CO₂ emissions had caused around half of the observed warming.

My favorite evergreen issue of is actually pretty recent. It's issue #267, which is called "Backups".

Amazing survey of tools I knew of but didn't know how to use and tools that I didn't even know existed like syncthing.net/.

Going beyond in backups sure feels great. Grab your own digital copy here: sparkhaus-shop.com/uk/catalog/

@google has to be sued for failing to deliver E-Mail of legitimate businesses.

Just now I had to manually mark "not spam" emails from "Sparkhaus Media GmbH", the European company that prints @linuxmagazine and @adminmagazine. Just because they host their own SMTP server.

Seriously, fuck that cartel bullshit. I have no idea where is @EU_Commission looking...

If is so good, why is there so many people struggling to learn it? (Just kidding, just jaded that I couldn't buy the issue haha).

Toot at me your favorite evergreen @linuxmagazine issues!

With "evergreen", I mean ones that contain methodology reviews, breakthrough technology reviews, fundamental (rather than the flavour of the week) howtos, etc.

I've finally learned how to buy them in the , so I'll buy the one I'm most interested in in digital and paper and some other ones in paper for home decor and retro feeling when I used to be jealous of my neighbour for having stacks of magazine.

@chodzikman oh no, no for me. They still can't figure out whether or not to have functionality on by default or not. Even in absence of any good arguments for not including them. It's just a mess and "steering" feels like a mess too.

Honestly, if someone will make a typed that's backwards compatible with nixpkgs and flakes, I'm gonna be a happy customer of *that*.

That said, I'm only talking about itself and . Specifically, nix with flakes.

@chodzikman haha, with arch I learned that arch sucks. let's be real, the only reason we were using it was because of AUR. With nix, you don't need AUR. :)

@chodzikman I knew I shouldn't. But I spent so much time with ifconfig, route and, later, wpa-supplicant as a kid and teenager, I kinda feel as scared of learning new tools as I was of those.
