What’s the context here?

You can have a memory leak when items are still in scope in some loop or when you have a reference count cycle. The latter happens with the Rc/Arc types in rust.

An example for the former can be a web server that keeps track of every request it’s ever received in memory. You will eventually run out of memory. But you did not violate any memory rules (dangling pointer, etc.). Memory leaks can be caused by design issues.

You don’t need unsafe. Just keep pushing to a vec and never remove anything. Memory leaks are more than lost memory allocations. You can even have them with rc/arc cycles

Rust doesn’t prevent memory leaks. You can do that in every language

VRR is variable refresh rate. Not sure about the others

People become nicer on the east coast of Florida as you go away from Miami.

You’re misreading the ..+? part. That means 2 or more characters, non greedy.

All ISPs were required to block Twitter/X. Starlink was the only one that didn’t. They didn’t charge SpaceX because it belonged to Musk but because they violated the court order.

You make me feel really old. I used to print out map quest for directions. My parents would use outdated road maps.

You didn’t get any instructions before hand? Is this in higher education or earlier?

You having regrets depends on your expectations. If you want a very stable system with little maintenance then you’ll be happy. Packages will be older but that’s what makes it easy to keep stable.

I’m not personally a fan of vanilla Debian because the stable versions are a bit too outdated for the things I like to work with. I do use Debian derivatives though the LTS versions.
