How long since you ran ‘apt update’? I have envountered issues where the local apt cache is stale, causing it to contain packages which are old and removed from the upstream repo. You need to update your cache and try to install again.

Windows XP had been out for quite a while, and I did not want to use it. Staying on 98SE was not going to be possible forever. Ubuntu was quite new, I had recently started uni, and some friends helped me get started. There was one thing that absolutely amazed me: package repository. Just the concept. Windows at the time, to install stuff was finding random pages, sifting through ads, locate download button, hope it is not a virus. Linux had it solved. So far superior it there was no way I’m going back after that.
Radio “solved” it by syncing their ads. What are you gonna switch to? Other ads?

Ooo, is this where I find proper black socks and not just socks that are really really really dark blue?

10·18 days agoThere is a common argument from the right that goes “nazis were left because the socialism in national socialism means they are left”. I think you are being interpreted as arguing in this way because you said “socialism means left though” on a comment saying the nazis used that label to obscure their rightwing politics. Socialism is leftwing, but not in the the context of national socialism, that “socialism” plays the same role as the “democratic” in the democratic peoples republic of korea.

50·18 days agoThe honesty of Nazis is a peculiar thing. In Sweden, the far-right party that the government collaborates with, who were started by literal ex-SS nazis and neo-nazis, have celebrated other ex-SS nazis, have worn swaztikas and so on. They have this “sociologist” guy whose argument for this party not being nazis anymore is basically “Look at Golden Dawn and other nazi organizations, they are open about them being nazis. Nazis are honest about being nazis. That is why the Sweden Democrats cannot be nazis, because if they were, they’d be open about it”.
Do you have to use Teams?
Well, I just wanted it as a secondary browser when troubleshooting firefox.
Nowadays the worst thing appears to be compiling chromium with X and Wayland support.
Then go for it! Gentoo is a wonderful option for that goal.
Are you looking to learn linux more or have a easy living experience, or what is the goal? If you want to get to know linux, learn how to compile a kernel, make your own initramfs and such, then: absolutely! If you want a stable easily maintainable system, then… maybe not. Like it is possible, and Gentoo is very stable, but if you are just starting, then you may make choices that do break when you upgrade. With some experience, this will go away, but expect some downtime in the beginning.

Someone else was explaining how to tell left from right handed. Buy why is it important? If you do math and physics, you almost certainly would use a right hand system. That means all formulas are derived with that in mind. If you try to use them in the left handed system, you are going to have a horrible time trying to figure out which of all terms need to have their sign flipped.

Just from a quick view of the repo, the simplest way to do it would be to look at the
playbook.ymland copy all roles you want for a host into a new playbook, saymyhost.yaml. Copy not only the roles but all the other keywords as well. Then you go to the inventory and add your hosts where you to execute the playbook against. Then you change thehostskey value in the playbook you made fromallto the hosts you added to the inventory.That is, add your hosts to the inventory, create playbooks for for them and run. That is the easiest. Read up on how to do groups and organizing your inventory to improve it from there.
