Neat! Thanks for sharing!
This is an underrated comment here
I’m reading this again and had another thought. On an average Debian server reboot-required is really only ever triggered by kernel upgrades and those happen more often than you want but also not very often. They are also usually worth installing for either security or performance improvements.
It’s usually ok to just set a convenient time for unattended-upgrades
to run, let it watch for reboot-required
and then reboot automatically. If your services can’t handle starting at boot or turning off gracefully then you will have other problems anyway.
On the other hand, if even a few minutes of downtime every couple of months at a scheduled time is too much, just disable AUTO-REBOOT in the config file and do it by hand whenever it works for you. It’s all good. Do what works best for you, that’s the best part of Linux.
needs-restart
is another great package that will check if package updates should restart any services to take effect and restart them if so. Goes nicely with unattended-upgrades
There’s a package that handles most people’s needs called unattended-upgrades
. Has some options and some logic to do things like this. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions. Been using it on hundreds of servers for 5+ years.
I like your style cowboy
Oh yeah, this is what I do.
I’ve been a big fan of Manjaro for exactly that reason. Something breaks occasionally and gives my skills a run for their money but a lot of the difficulty of running a rolling release gets nullified by the testing Manjaro does for you. It’s a great compromise, you get almost bleeding edge for much less work than an arch installation can take.
I love me some Debian for their stability and security, I run Debian or Debian based servers mostly. But I wanted something closer to the bleeding edge for my desktop so I could make use of newer features, run newer packages etc…
Also drive Manjaro and I tell people I use Arch, there are dozens of us
I think this is what the kids call “critical reading abilities”
Thanks for providing a strong counterpoint to the click bait narrative, here’s a prize 🏆
I missed something here didn’t I? Anyone have a link?
Haven’t enjoyed the Hularama episodes much until this one. Felt like they managed to land closer to home this time. Maybe we’ll get some episodes we’ll be proud to call Futurama 🤞.
Same, I stream using the airplay protocol from my Lyrion Music Server and haven’t had to touch their app since they arrived. If they fuck with that though so help me god I will write the nastiest things about them on the internets.
Right there with ya.
I didn’t realize this, didn’t get enough press. Another notch in Biden’s belt, that’s fantastic!
It’s so cool I want to die 😩. I would never use it but it looks great.
I think it is measured and professionals who work in areas where this was relevant probably track this number among many others. I think the real question you are asking is why it is always framed as a % of GDP in public discussion and news reporting. Some people here point out how % of GDP can be more useful for comparing across countries with vastly different sized economies but I think we all know the real answer has more to do with how people perceive the value differently by using the larger number. Framing government debt as a % of GDP serves the zeitgeist, whatever that is.
Well we certainly appreciate it, thank you for your service tonight
