–exclude works reliable for me. can you give us an example of an --exclude and the file name that tar outputs when adding it?

Windows, macOS and a ton of other Linux distros do that as well.
First of all, windows and macOS are not for free. They cost extra money, sometimes hidden in the PC cost when pre-installed. When they do a major update, like Win10 to 11, you are at their mercy, if your license can be used to upgrade. Often it can, but sometimes your PC is not “Windows 11 ready” or so and then you get updates for your old system for a few more years until they drop you like a hot potato and throw you to the malware wolves.
Additionally, in Windows the automatic updates are just for the OS itself and some apps from its store. A few apps like Chrome and FF install their own extra update service on top. A lot of other programs check for updates individually or some not at all and often you have to download and run their installer for every update. Idk how it is in macOS tho. Haven’t used it in years.
Yes, a ton of other Linux distros also have background unattended-upgrade or similar. However, the people who choose Ubuntu over those are usually looking for a quick solution that almost always just installs without problems. They usyally don’t have time or patience for any complications, however small. So they choose the fire-and-forget Linux and additionally have greater chances to find a fix or help in the super rare case it doesn’t work, because the bigger user base increases the likelyhood someone else is familiar or has infos regarding that exotic issue.
it’s kinda the fire-and-forget of OSes. you just press the update/upgrade button when the unattended-upgrade didn’t catch all and it just works for free and forever.
maybe koreader has an error and that causes the autologin session to end and you go to login.
another problem could be another login thingy started first and greetd can’t use the tty. check inittab
You can always boot from a live medium, chroot into it and fix stuff, e.g. a live USB or CD/DVD. They can be created from Windows.
make sure to make the first backup before you use deduplication. just in case it goes sideways
don’t share /boot
it contains stuff from the distro for booting and configuring/installing a boot loader. if both garble their stuff in there it will likely break.
the rich people trying to milk it.
people often think shareholders are doing this, but as you can see here: it’s top executives, as mozilla stock is not available.
The one time it was helpful at work was when I used it to thank and wish a person well that left a company we work with. I couldn’t come up with a good response and ChatGPT just spat real good stuff out in seconds. This is what it’s really good for.
well, you get more pixels. -> more room.
i needed more pixels/room, so i got me a 4k 55" (139cm) tv for a display and it’s basically like four 1080p displays seamlessly fused together. of course, you can also sit far away and upscale everything and things will look slightly smoother, like pixels will be even less noticeable.
some details in fullscreen pictures become visible that would require zooming in on 1080p, because on 4k fullscreen basically is like 1080p already zoomed in.
a problem are color gradients: without HDR on 4k you can now see there’s not enough colors in 24bit colorspace (000000 - FFFFFF 8bit per channel without alpha/transparency) to fill large areas with gradients. you have to spread/dither to get a smooth gradient on a 24bit 4k wallpaper, but it’s a small price to pay for more room.
twice per year
yes, sometimes the quick solution is to disable some module/plugin/extension you don’t need. you will never know what actually caused the problem, but when you need it to work urgently, that’s acceptable.
That’s awful. I have cut ties with my parents for way less. Made my life so much better.
the shareholders don’t get that. the top managers, CEOs etc. get it. some of them may be shareholders as well, but that’s not how they fill their pockets.
no, it’s not specific to merge requests. theres a tool called git-shell that prevents abuse
Yes, if you want to accept pull requests from anyone, you can set up a jailed git server with public access, for example.
just do more non-routine stuff
no, you can accept them on an open port or via CLI
All my phones always had headphone jacks, even though I prefer wireless and put those rubber nub dust protectors in them, so they don’t get filthy. Nobody forced me to do anything. I had multiple brands. Wiko, Samsung, Honor, etc…
if it comes to that, we’ll just switch back to ifconfig etc
