TLDR: Ubuntu Pro offers additional security patches to packages found in the universe repo. Universe is community maintained so Ubuntu is essentially stepping in to provide critical CVE patches to some popular software in this repo that the community has not addressed.

I suppose it depends on how you look at it but I don’t really see this as withholding patches. Software in this repo would otherwise be missing these patches and it’s a ton of work for Ubuntu to provide these patches themselves.

Now is they move glibc to universe and tell me to subscribe to get updates I’ll feel differently.

Okay so I just read up on this. It’s it true that TPM backed FDE only allows snaps?!?

Debs are completely unsupported?

Yes your browser tracks all of this, movement, hover, clicks etc. It’s how pages are able to respond to various mouse gestures.

Having query logging enabled on a production database is bonkers. The duplicate deletes are too but query logging is intended for troubleshooting only. It kills performance.

Yea they’re internal. That’s normal for a fully loaded 2u storage server. Some even have 2-4 extra disk slots in the rear to cram in a few more.

I concur and it just gets worse the more hardware you have in them. 256G of memory and 24 disks? Might as well go have lunch while it boots.

The fall of newspapers led us down the path of click bait, low quality, ad driven “news”. Very few newspapers survived the transition to digital because suddenly nobody wanted to pay for access to something they could get online for free. Those that did survive mostly exist in a much smaller form with low funding and reduced quality.

Personally, I’m excited to see it becoming more common for people to subscribe to news services again. I just wish there was more diversity and competition available like there was in the past but I’m hopeful we’ll get there as more people seem to be opening back up to paying for high quality publications.

High quality journalism can’t exist without paid subscribers but there are still ways to access it for those who can’t afford it, visiting a local library for example.

I can definitely relate to this. When I was young and my taxes were dead simple I didn’t think twice, now that I’m older and my tax situation is more complex I always fear that I’ve done something wrong no matter how many times I double check.

I may start paying someone just to avoid the anxiety but I probably won’t because I’m too cheap.

This was available to watch on a United flight I took. I didn’t get the chance to watch it but the description was gold.

Those features are what bring in revenue and I don’t blame them for trying to be profitable. You can only get so far on lifetime subscriptions.

As long as they don’t abandon the core product so I can continue using it as the awesome media server that it is I have no complaints. They can add all the additional features they want.

DVR, commercial skip, intro and credit detection, plexpy etc… are all awesome features which have been added in the last 5 years or so and enhance the core product.
