This is going to be a bigger deal than I thought. Can’t cross 91% lib scan even if I delete the music lib and then upgrade. Even turning on debug logging doesn’t reveal anything helpful. Rolling back to 10.10 for now. Will attempt again when they force me to upgrade.

When I hear freefall I think rock-bottom prices. I don’t think this is that. 😄

The first face in the meme rejects it:

“Great man” history

Marx rejected the enlightenment view that ideas alone were the driving force in society or that the underlying cause of change was guided by the actions of leaders in government or religion. The “great man” and occasionally “great woman” view of historical change was popularized by the 19th-century Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881) who wrote “the history of the world is nothing but the biography of great men”.[21] According to Marx, this conception of history amounted to nothing more than a collection of “high-sounding dramas of princes and states”.[22

How do you know it’s a good answer? That requires prior knowledge that you might have. My juniors repeatedly demonstrate they’ve no ability to tell whether an LLM solution is a good one or not. It’s like copying from SO without reading the comments, which they quickly learn not to do because it doesn’t pass code review.

Good note.

I seem to be suffering from this issue. Lotsa spam in the logs and the scan job doesn’t seem to be moving. The next attempt would be, revert, disable music lib and upgrade. Then deal with the music lib separately. But I’ll let it run another 12-24 hours.

My god what a shit show.

It’s all normal though. Software development is hard and big changes mean more regressions. You do the changes when needed, then you work on squashing the bugs.

Library scan still going here. At least something is spinning because one CPU thread is pegged to 100%.

I do. It could be this:

After the migration it is recommended that you perform a full scan through the admin dashboard. We have observed that for some users, some elements might not work properly otherwise (e.g parental ratings). As of RC8 a scan for missing metadata may be required for music libraries to function properly. The first scan after the migration might also take quite a bit longer than usual, though subsequent scans should be as quick as before.

From the release notes.

The last messages in the log are from music lib scanning. I’m leaving it be for now.

Fucking hell. OK, I’ll upgrade again and wait longer. Mine’s ~15TB.

I do have a large collection and I haven’t checked the music lib state yet. I have a zfs snapshot from before the upgrade so I could restore if shit hits the fan.

Just upgraded from 10.10. Seems to have gone well. Library scan still going.

E: Couldn’t finish lib scan. Reverted to 10.10.

You think they’d refuse receiving equalization payments? 🤭

It’s the shots of liberal tears that bring the real gut happiness.

This is true for almost every expat/immigrant community I’ve interacted with, including my own. It’s pretty obvious in voting pattern differences between the expat community and the native country. The far right gets 30-40% among Bulgarians in Canada compared to 10-20% back home. The left gets 1-2% here compared to 7-10% back home.

Thanks for the tip!

I simultaneously take offence by the suggestion that Linux is good now and am happy the lamers at PC Gamer are promoting it. Ultimately I won’t be inspecting this particular horse’s teeth. *Quiet grumble noises*

Debian, sudo apt install steam-installer.

For me it wasn’t so much the universal part than the reduced maintenance work that comes with bundled depdnencies which makes a package work over more OS releases without breaking, as well as the higher upgrade success rate.

But yeah I like the trusted repo model that Debian uses. It’s a lot of work by many volunteers and the result is great, so long as people keep doing it.

You don’t need Ubuntu Pro to get updates on 22.04 LTS. Without it you’re getting the same type of updates 12.04 was getting, for the same period of 5 years. The main repo gets security patches from Cnonical, the community repos get patches from the community. Same as it’s always been. With Ubuntu Pro, you get additional security updates for the community repos done by Canonical, like they do it for main. In addition you get additional 5 years of support for 10 years total. And apparently there’s now yet additional 5 that extends it to 15 but I haven’t read what that’s about. So for a user that doesn’t care about Ubuntu Pro, nothing has changed. For the user that wants to stay on 22.04 till 2032, Ubuntu Pro is an incredible deal. This kind of support does not exist in Debian. It can be provided by a commercial third party for a price.
