@Linux if it was getting that warm then aye the thermostat might've needed replacing, but either way you've got a blocked drip tube. When it goes into defrost mode, ice at the back melts and runs down a tube to a pan at the bottom of the fridge where it evaporates, sometimes helped by a fan […]

Linux Breaks 5% Desktop Share in U.S., Signaling Open-Source Surge Against Windows and macOS

Linux has surpassed 5% desktop market share in the US (5.03% in June 2025), per StatCounter, driven by privacy concerns, rising costs of Windows/macOS, and user-friendly distros like Ubuntu. Community celebrates amid gaming and enterprise boosts, though challenges like software gaps persist; analysts eye 7% by 2027.

Windows had DLL hell. Linux has dependency hell. Random1 is required for Random2, but Random3 was found. And so you cannot upgrade. But you cannot remove it either, because then it still wants Random1 for a dependency of Random4.

FYI I reviewed the entire lease and addendums — nowhere does it say we’re responsible for powering a working or broken fridge. A broken fridge drives up the electric bill (which I expect will be high), and since it’s hot to the touch, it’s a fire risk. They should have thanked me for […]

I don’t like it, but realistically, the path of least resistance — and maybe the quickest fix — is if they come tomorrow and see the freezer covered in ice (they’ve only ever seen it frozen, never hot), and if it’s still iced over, it might be easier to just say we’re getting our own fridge, and […]
