I think with flatpak it’s fine nowadays. So I have the stable base Debian, but most applications are flatpak and for dev work I use containers or nix anyways.

Debian has proprietary software via opt-in through the non-free repository. However the Nvidia driver is horribly outdated so I had to install them directly. But now it works decently well. But my 1070TI is on borrowed time now no matter the OS 🥲

It works great for technical constructs. E.g. A Button is a UI element. But for anything business logic related, yeah it’ll suck.

Beyond that, in reality you would write logger.info() in both 99% of the time.

Others mentioned good points but don’t really capture the scale or techniques. A high volume DDoS may even overwhelm the network equipment, so simply saturating the network with garbage traffic. On the smaller scale, a server has limited resources to handle connections. So in the most extreme case, you simple run out of memory to store all the incoming requests. More likely you exhaust a thread pool or run out of connection handles. This “breaks” the server as it may not have resources left to recover to a working state even after the attack has stopped.

As for techniques, DDoS don’t just spam genuine requests. Usually the requests are malformed to have the worst impact on the servers. For example you only send the connection request without completing the full handshake. Now the server has to wait until the connection times out which consumes resources for a potentially long time.

Debian is what you get if “dad getting off the couch noise” was a Linux distro.

Hm TIL, fair enough. Thanks.

But chaining still seems harder than CommandA | ForEach-Object { DoSomethingWith $_ } | CommandB

I take PowerShell ForEach-Object any day over the unholy contraptions of awk, xargs and friends in bash.
