Is that thumbnail supposed to be, like, super “maga dork” lmfao

Hello!

The poster you’re replying to was not referring to 3rd party software in user space.

Bubbles tend to pop sometimes.

[…] ready enough to convince your boss that it’s ready to replace you at your job."

That’s great though. Then said boss can rehire the people they fired for a noicely risk-adjusted premium.

Stupidity traditionally hurts (the wallet)

PostgreSQL is definitely a boost to performance, especially if you offload the DB to a dedicated server (depending on load, can even be a cluster)

Nevertheless, it probably has much to do with how it’s deployed and how many proxies are in front of it, and/or VPN. If you have large numbers of containers and small CPU/low memory hardware, and either running everything on one machine or have some other limitations, it’ll be slow.

Admittedly, I’m not very familiar with the codebase, but I feel Apache isn’t improving the speed either. Not exactly sure how PHP is nowadays with concurrency and async, but generally a microservice type architecture is nice because you can add more workers/instances wherever a bottleneck emerges.

I have no idea what any of these does. I might just aswell be unknowingly installing a keylogger or something.

This actually applies to windows GUI installers just the same. You really don’t know what you’re installing either, although you do usually give it administrator permission to make changes to the system. In some way it’s even worse, it’s “running commands” and hiding it from you.

Same, really love them, as you can wear them for hours and they cause no pressure or uncomfort. ANC is great too. I use them for work.

Depends what device you run, but Xournal++ is useful. Otherwise pdftk.

It’s my daily driver. It has incredible compatibility and very nice features, for example the rule based filter actions, header matching, which immensely boosts my workflow efficiency. Not to mention the calendars and tasks integration and the great extensibility via the plugin system.

Thunderbird is a great example of community driven awesomeness.

I’ve been burnt by my unix arrogance enough times

Same here, haha. As long as you stay away from ideas like “compiling your kernel from scratch” you’ll be fine.

Look up which distros come with drivers/documentation for your hardware (different for many MacBook versions) especially the WiFi/Bluetooth chipset.

Don’t try anything fancy, unless you have a surplus of life energy and time to waste.

2010 MacBook Pro, still runs Arch with ease (back when I set it up I had more time than I do now, would go with a less DIY-ish distro nowadays, probably something Debian based)

The only chore was to get the RTC alarm wake up working, which was a bit hacky.

My guess is the soil probably not having the correct nutrients/pH. Other suspect is over watering or not enough drainage, but that’s not likely IMO. Maybe repot with adding 50% gardening soil and water sparingly with some rainwater and add some low intensity fertilizer - it should come back with new sprouts.

Best way to propagate is to cut a piece off the root ball with stem and all, as this develops much faster.

Just the stem works too in water, but takes much longer. You leave it in the water and change it regularly until it grows about an inch or two of roots. Then plant it in some proper soil (mix of coco choir and soil worked great for me) and wait about 6 months, watering sparingly, as the root ball develops. Only then will the cutting slowly die off and new leaves will begin to sprout out of the soil. You’ll have to be patient though.

Don’t forget to use fertilizer every few weeks from spring to fall, but a gentle one, I always use standard vegetable fertilizer in a medium dose
