Those of us who remember ‘Alf’ may wonder if the name is due to taste as well.

Well, you have Finland in the north-east, Ireland in the north-west, and every land border faces a Euro-zone country. Few other countries can claim the latter.

If at all, you want to use Gentoo's ebuild system, which can be seen as some kind of superset of PKGBUILDs. I guess one could write a Python script that “dumbs down” ebuild scripts to PKGBUILDs for simple packages (excluding complex stuff like kernel, KDE, …). The main challenge, as pointed to before, would be maintaining a table mapping package names between distributions in order to get the dependencies right.

Those would be harvested to train LLMs even without asking first. 😐

What comes to mind:

  • Collect trash in nature
  • Demonstrate in front of parliaments if politicians are about to make stupid laws
  • Demonstrate outside of billionaires' properties demand that they pay their fair share to society

Yes, one of the factors that contributed to the demise of Windows Mobile was the lack of backwards-compatibility for apps between 7, 8, an 10.

Qt (the one used by KDE) has progressed not only through a number of owners (Trolltech, Digia, Nokia, …), but also licenses such as the QPL to be triple-licensed under GPL, LGPL, and commercial for most of its components.

Mal als Beispiel wie das in anderen Ländern (Schweden) gemacht wird:

Das da ein freundlich-lächelnder Mann in rot steht, ist nur fürs Pressefoto. Normalerweise Selbstbedienung. Der ganze Apparat kan in der Höhe eingestellt werden. Vorne die Fläche ist für eine digitale Unterschrift, die auf die Karte gedruckt wird. Bezahlt wird dann per Bank/Kreditkarte. Alles papierlos.

The "C" in the progress bar is alternating between "c" and "C" to give the impression of munching.

There is some information missing in the problem description. For example, if you close the lid, does the computer suspend/sleep/hibernate? It may be that when the computer sleeps something "breaks" or it may be that the act of physically closing/opening the lid has an effect (e.g. because the WiFi antenna is embedded in the display frame).

Some time ago I had a similar problem with Tailscale and sleeping. When Tailscale initializes itself (at boot), it has to interact with another service to communicate which DNS servers have become available (e.g. 100.100.100.100). Several implementations of such services exist (resolvconf, openresolv), in my case systemd-resolved. During normal operation, resolvectl status (if using systemd-resolved) shows which DNS servers and which search domains are configured for each network interface such as tailscale0. Now, there is a bug (or feature) that systemd-resolved "forgets" the DNS configuration it got from Tailscale when the computer is put to sleep. So, when the computer wakes up, name resolution via Tailscale no longer works, giving you the impression that Tailscale itself is not working, although Tailscale's low-level functions are still operational. My "solution" was to write a small script that gets executed when the computer wakes up which sets again DNS server and search domain for network device tailscale0.
