Sorry, bad phrasing on my end. I agree the community should suspicious, but I think the flawed premise in

It seems like there isn’t much criticism of the company or their tactics, and I’m curious if any of you think that should change.

is that there is consistent, well-founded criticism and has been this whole time. And even though the vocal folks are a minority, a lot of people feel ambivalent about the relationship rather than viewing it favorably.

I do think there are quite a few linux users and developers who are suspicious of Red Hat, they are a small-ish but pretty vocal minority.

Yeah, I’m with you all the way — no shade to OP, but the question has a flawed premise. I think the majority opinion is that they’re both an asset and a liability. They’re a huge contributor to the ecosystem and have done a lot of practical good, but I also think the community will turn on a dime if the suits overstep into FAFO territory.

(All that said, fuck Lennart Poettering. Dude couldn’t design a plan to get himself out of a paper bag.)

That’s very helpful, thanks! Unfortunately, this one is over my pay grade - nothing you’ve mentioned seems like an obvious culprit to me.

You can definitely try iron supplements, but given that your other plants in the same soil are doing okay, iron deficiency doesn’t seem to be a super-likely cause either. You might be better off starting fresh from seed, given that cucumbers take off rather fast. Sucks to lose a plant, but you’ve given it a strong setup here.

Sweeping generalization: they need lots of water, but they also need to be planted in a space that gives them a sufficient root base such that they can go a few days without drying out.

It’s definitely chlorotic, but there are a ton of potential reasons for that.

Can you give us a brain dump of watering habits, environmental conditions (temps/humidity/light), fertilizer use, plant age & provenience, specific contents of the soil/compost used, etc?

I expect Feynman’s answer, if he had a whiteboard and unlimited time, would’ve been to dive into Maxwell’s equations.

With that in mind, his answer makes complete sense. Good luck explaining coupled PDEs to people who aren’t mathy in a few sentences without visual aid. The analogy to the gravitational force isn’t on point; there’s a lot more to be said about how magnets tie to into E&M more broadly, compared to gravity.

Though you’re absolutely right that once you get deep enough into any topic in physics that the answer to “why?” inevitably becomes “it just be like that”.

Not a triad user in sight.

Just lemmings living in the moment.

While I’m sure there’s a pre-canned tool out there for you, if you have basic software experience (which you seem to), this is one of those times where it’s usually most efficient to hack together a dumb CGI script and call it a day.

This prompt should get you most of the way there, using your llm of choice:

Write a minimalist cgi script to help upload files to a server. Upon a GET request, serve a light page with a centered form that takes in a file and a submission code. Submission codes will be stored on individual lines of a plaintext file. Adding new codes to this file is out of scope - but the codes will be 8-char hex strings (do validate that submission strings are not empty!). The script should accept the submission as a POST, and save the file to an upload dir if the submission code is valid.

Vet the output, harden as needed, setup a systemd service to serve with busybox httpd, and optionally reverse-proxy. If you’ve done this sorta thing before, you can probably knock it out in a half hour.

I’m talking about the executable binary flatpak, which is the interface used to execute and manage applications distributed in the Flatpak bundle format.

https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flatpak-command-reference.html#flatpak

Flatpak: a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.

Flatpak application: an application installed via the flatpak command or through a graphical interface, such as GNOME Software or KDE Discover.

Runtime: also called platform, an integrated environment providing basic utilities needed for a Flatpak application to work.

Flatpak bundle: a single-file export format containing a Flatpak application or runtime.

From https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/introduction.html#terminology

You might be thinking of AppImages, which are more of a pure file format.

Ah - I totally missed the Nvidia-related bit! Thanks for flagging that.

That being said, based on the maintainers’ past stances, I’m pretty pessimistic on them actually implementing a fix like that. They’re very much against the general practice of poking holes in their sandbox security perimeter.

Flatpak is quite fucking far from perfect, and will always remain so due to its flawed design and UX approach.

Pretty sure the culprit here is Fedora’s packaging which adds an opaque systemd timer to run auto-updates, but the thread immediately next to this one on my homepage just happened to be a nice case-study in Flatpak fuckery: https://lemmy.world/post/30654407

Of course, the proposed changes in the article do nothing to fix this sorta problem, which happens to be the variety that end users actually care about. Flatpak is an epic noob trap since it pretends to be a plug-n-play beginner friendly tool, but causes all sorts of subtle headaches that newcomers inevitably don’t have diagnostic experience to address.
