The last known activity was around the start of the war when Russian soldiers dug in only to be evacuated in few days after due to radioactive sickness and never to be seen again 🤷

    Major European mobile carriers are teaming up for a ‘direct’ satellite program without Starlink in c/europe@feddit.org

    Besides sky being totally polluted so one can't even see stars and other natural objects any more, you do realize that more objects in space means more serious problems because of crowded space and debris flying around? And also debris falling on your head. But yes, we really need more satellites for whatever reason....

    OP's right, even with one constellation pollution is high, but since we aren't able to collaborate and every country has to compete, there will be N of those. Look at night sky while you can, it won't be for long at this pace.

    About backup and switching to a different distro (programming.dev)
     

    I'm going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.

    There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):

    1. How do you reinstall your apps? I'm considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
    2. How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won't do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I'm considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.

    Any other recommendations?

    driving three 4K DP displays with a 9900X(3D) iGPU? (programming.dev)
     

    Did anybody manage to drive three 4K@60 displays with just the iGPU of a 9900X or forthcoming X3D? The displays should be all DP or HDMI, but not a mix, so a KVM switch can be used. From what I see, mobos have at best two USB4 ports that each could drive 2 DP displays. In theory, that is. While CPU should be able to drive three such displays. I'm not into gaming or such, just need displays for development and want to avoid unnecessary discrete GPU and it's power draw if possible.

    in what shape is Jonas? (programming.dev)
     

    Hopeful Jonas recovered after all the injuries, but I somehow doubt it that he'll be at 100% after those injuries without much time to recover. While I'm rooting for PogRog, I fear a repeat of Giro, where Pog dominated and made it boring to watch. Or perhaps Remco will kick in, but then again he was also injured and didn't do well at Dauphine. What's you take?

    Eurosport discontinuing streaming (programming.dev)
     

    Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.
