Last time I tried Virt manager, I couldn’t figure out bridge networks and ended up corrupted the XML config for the VM. Skill issue for me I guess

I just looked them up and maybe you are right. But QEMU definitely lacks a GUI config tool that is both easy to use and allows for advanced features like snapshots. So far the only ones I know is GNOME Boxes and Virt Manager, and neither is as good as providing handy ways to configure as VirtualBox. I could probably just write the XML config or QEMU command by the documentation, but next time it could be a different scenario so I have to investigate the docs and maybe a few more forum posts. In VirtualBox, the buttons that do everything for me are always there

Because they are for different use cases. I use QEMU+KVM on desktop for games and 3D CAD software, because of its undeniable performance advantage. But on work laptop, I use VirtualBox to test my software on different platforms. On VirtualBox it’s relatively easy to initialize a VM, configure network, file sharing and device passthrough, and its snapshot feature allows me recreate the same environment for troubleshooting

All of the quirks you said are true, yet they still established the “okay” ecosystem of hobby-grade microcontrollers like Arduino, IoT devices, and other small scale robotics systems. None of them would have happened without the “okay” abstraction C/C++ provides as opposed to assembler

Over the beginning few years into software engineering and FOSS world, I legit thought Sourceforge is a sketchy software download website

What’s wrong with embedded C? Would you rather write assembly?

While I do see most of the listed stuff happened to me before, they only appear once in a while and it’s often just one sentence in the list is true. I think OP is trying to make an exaggerating slander where it’s extremely unlucky to have more than 5 sentences is right

Because the machine could be headless so it can’t display the applet to click on

From my understanding, one of the actual use case of assembly is for cyber security engineers to dump assembly instructions from a compiled program, so they can check for any potential vulnerability. I’ve also seen assembly included in an embedded codebase (the overall project is in C), which I assume is for more optimized performance and deterministic behavior

Having to adapt to shells is exactly why I don’t like to use radical shells like fish or nushell. I don’t want to feel too comfortable with them, because if I do, I would probably regret it when I’m stuck in situations that doesn’t have the correct shell. SSH into a new server or Raspberry Pi that has DNS issue, for example, which actually happened to me more than once. The DNS is already troublesome, and I don’t want shell unfamiliarity to become another headache

If you use zsh, there is zsh syntax highlighting plugin. For bash, a cursory search gave me ble.sh which looks interesting. And as other threads have mentioned, fish shell has this built in, but beware fish shell syntax works drastically differently from other POSIX shells

The fact that my game throttles when windows does update in the background as it pleases is enough reason

As always, it’s the upper management who decides if there are more/less people working on the products, or any people at all

The studio has lost their top talent director Anno and Hiroyoki long time ago and hasn’t been making shows recently, so it’s not too surprising

Extensions are not equivalent to native customization, and both have pros and cons. On one hand, extensions provide a variety of features that can be added specific to people’s likings, but on the other hand, there are chances of incompatibility (in gnome shells for example) and delayed maintenance from developers (which results in having to wait for them to finish the work when dependency updates)

sudo provides sudoedit or sudo -e which allows me to use vim with my user configuration btw

At least man pages are better than ChatGPT or other generative LLM that can hallucinate

BeagleBone has two RISCV SBC recently. One uses a chip from Microchip which is partially an FPGA also, and the other one uses a chip from a Chinese company

It is good that such app works for you, but from what I’ve seen AndFTP is only available in Google Play store, and with bundled ad in the free version and paid otherwise. In comparison, LocalSend is none of that, and it is available on FDriod as well. LocalSend is also FOSS from protocol to the app through and through, and although SSH technology itself is secure, the security of the client depends. These are all the reasons to answer your question of “I need something more than scp”. I use SSHFS myself too in the case of file backup, but also LocalSend for different scenarios such as “I need this video to be sent to my computer ASAP”. If you are not convinced, feel free to overlook the project, that doesn’t mean the app has zero use case

What is that? I am curious because I haven’t seen a competent SCP app for a few years
