<-- CONTINUED FROM ABOVE --> My own two systems that all the building is done on would no doubt even be considered "vintage" now, with one circa early 2012 and the other circa mid-2013! Yet they are power-houses that work brilliantly, and the base of them both is STILL the good ’ol Xenial (plus ALL relevant PPAs at my Launchpad site) and they are as rock solid as any computer systems I’ve ever run.
This is coming from a former high-level server engineer of corporate systems, who used to architect, purchase, and build from scratch entire web farms serving millions upon millions of hits per day (some years ago now, yes, but that’s my background pre-Linux in the past five or so years), for some very big global corporations with well-known brand names (not worth mentioning). Yet even as someone with over 30 years professional experience providing high-level systems support I do my absolute best to never waste my own money, time, and even more of the planet’s finite resources on frequent trivial upgrades to my hardware or software, as I have better things to do (and better for the planet too). In response to your query about sharing the burden (open source being all about teamwork and all), until recently (and for at least many months, maybe a year and more) the main page of my Launchpad site did make one reference to the desire for a team to help with this work, which was only changed in late January 2022 when survival had to become the tantamount concern for me moving forwards. You can see the exact words that were on the main page here (the words quoted next are found just prior to the long table listing highlights of all the software): https://web.archive.org/web/20220126052554/https://launchpad.net/~savoury1 “This site represents a very large effort of time and energy by one person (so far, next step is for a team!) so all contributions make a difference.” An issue and one could say limitation with me professionally (and personally) is a lack of both experience and/or time/attention/interest on doing better marketing. My position on that is simple: if what I’m doing is not of a super high quality and good enough to sell itself to anyone who might come across it, then what am I selling? This ethos however is of course a bit restrictive, even if (to me) fully ethical, in a world driven mad by constant flashing ads and the like. It’s an area that I struggle with, as I’m saying. So a critical aspect of this whole project would be to finally manifest some level of website at https://savos.tech which has sat dormant for two years since I purchased the domain name for this work. <-- CONTINUED BELOW --> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965181 Title: ffmpeg: FFmpeg 5.0 (ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg5) uninstallable -- plus general SavOS discussion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/savos/+bug/1965181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
