Q: Should tags be edited out from a question if they appear irrelevant?

See Off Wi-Fi LED in Ubuntu for an example: While it's ideally better to ask posters if, in this case, lubuntu and syslinux are indeed relevant to the question, suppose posters doesn't respond or, even worse, come back? If there's no clarity from posters, and other Ask Ubuntu users don't take...

Happy 2000 answers to me ! <.< . . . .>.> . . . .

Here's to many more, double that amount maybe !

Coming to think of it, that's a lot of writing. I may have written a book or two in the process

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy congratulations!

I often think I should be more productive, answer more

Though maybe it's actually sufficiently good, considering the numbers

Rinzwind

I had to check how many I made though :D

so roughly 37 points per answer @SergiyKolodyazhnyy :+)

I am on 63 so you got room for improvement ;)

or answer more manual related questions :X

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

That's pretty accurate. On average my answers get about 3-5 upvotes, unless it blows up into hot-network-question which leads to answers getting anywhere from 10 to 20 ish upvotes

@Rinzwind Hmmmm, maybe I should follow the man tag or something :D

Rinzwind

nope. people never use the man tag when asking man tag related questions Otherwise they'd use the man command :Z

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Actually, I used to follow a lot of tags, but I've cleaned that up

There's a few topics I want to actively pursue, like networking

I need one more close vote from a reviewer to close this question: askubuntu.com/questions/655555/dpkg-query-vs-apt-cache before it is closed in the reverse direction as a duplicate question the other way.

terdon

13:27

@karel Which one do you want to be the duplicate and which one should remain open? And why?

And what's the relationship between dpkg -l and dpkq-query. Isn't dpkg-query a separate program? Or is it just an alias for dpkg -l?

Rinzwind

dpkg -l: list only installed and dpkq-query: listinstalled and not installed.

karel

13:47

Distinction between apt-cache and dpkg -l should remain open. Someone was trying to close it as a duplicate of dpkg-query vs apt-cache because it's an older question I guess.

terdon

14:07

@karel But are they really duplicates? If dpkg-query != dpkg -l, why are they dupes?

karel

14:24

@terdon Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy's accepted answer answered both of the two questions.

terdon

@karel Ah! I hadn't realized that. Cool, thanks.

So it's all cool now? askubuntu.com/questions/655555/dpkg-query-vs-apt-cache has been closed as a dupe of askubuntu.com/questions/1124914/…

karel

It's a nice answer.

@terdon Let me know if there are parts that should be addressed in the answer that are addressed in the older post ( I think I covered most things ).

I am tempted to submit a bug report against my ethernet kernel driver, because it causes NeworkManager to spam notifications about removed hardware and dmesg with notifications, and in the end interface is not detected and not listed in ip addr output anyway

There's apparently a launchpad bug for same behavior after system being suspended, but for me this behavior occurs even after fresh boot or resuming from suspend

Fix is released though, so hopefully I'll eventually get it

terdon

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy I don't really know, to be honest. It's been too long since I've used a deb-based system.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@terdon Well, that's even better - from your point of view you might notice things that aren't clear naturally.

Q: CPU core is very busy and top shows 0.0 %CPU on it

This server is booted with CPU isolation isolcpus=0-7, so 8 cores from 16 are reserved and the only processes that use them are numbered as worker_0 - worker_7.

I wonder if I should post on code review. My code works well, but I feel like I'm overthinking it

dessert

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy what harm can it do?

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@dessert Really, none. I'm just as always unsure and insecure as to whether the code is good and worth showing to others,if I'm even approaching the problem properly,etc

dessert

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy that’s exactly why you should let others review it
