Dang, this was the first I heard about mobile justice shutting down.

It had been on my phone and thankfully unused for a long time.

Looks like this is the written version of the video:

Linode is akamai (now), and hostinger appears to be a private Lithuanian firm. So that’s how they’re cheaper: no public shareholders to constantly appease with “line go up?!”

I can say that turing cards with Linux have been unstable with the 570.124 drivers. All kinds of errors in the system logs after a short period. I had to downgrade to 570.86, and even that is problematic, though less frequently.

Good reminder of the number of times I have I regretted going nvidia.

Well that’s not good…

They seem to be reasonably active, so I would imagine that situation won’t last long.

Garuda is about the same.

Arch base, preconfigured for btrfs snapshots on Pacman updates (and they provide a handy garuda-update wrapper to that), many niceties already done for you.

I’ve used the snapshot feature a couple times and only because the Nvidia drivers botched something horribly and I went back to the same snapshot a couple times.

And I use distrobox (rootless podman FTW) for some crap too. Like that time I needed WebEx at a moment’s notice for a call (and they only provide a deb and rpm). Or spur of the moment dev environments when I don’t wanna futz around with vscode devcontainers.

But with arch-based stuff, you gotta read the Pacman output. If you don’t wanna, definitely reconsider immutable. Next time I can be bothered to reinstall, that’s where I’m headed. Heck, you can start a distrobox with Arch and install all the AUR shit you please without a major worry.
