If you haven't heard of it - Nostr is a decentralized twitter alt - but uses relays as soft servers (www.youtube.com)

Hey folks. Just wanted to put out a good word about Nostr. I’m finding it to be pleasantly easy to use and very akin to twitter but uses soft servers in the form of relays. Its not quite moving away from servers but where decentralization is happening frequently, its nice to give that liberty back to users....

That was over 8 years ago. Along with Sony’s (Music division only) CD rootkit scandal was over 18 years ago now that people often like to bring up.

Sync is the closest to Relay right now, but not with the default settings. You can set it up to have votes for swiped posts / comments like on Relay.

Now is the last chance to escape from AI driven captology

With the recent developments in AI technology, we are entering a new era of manipulation through captology. Mainstream websites/apps are well known to utilize captology to manipulate its users. But now captology is AI driven and will reach a new dimension of manipulation. In the very near future, every mainstream OS will be AI...

I’ve tried to set up rEFInd but couldn’t get the proper configs / kernel parameters to work for my LUKS-enabled setup. If you’re willing to try another loader out, I was able to make systemd-boot work with both plymouth (flicker-less loading), luks (with graphical prompt), and secure boot too.

Exec ,
@Exec@pawb.social avatar

Follow the Arch wiki. Just make sure that your distro has a hook for the package manager for signing the kernel. Eg. for Arch there’s the systemd-boot-pacman-hook aur package.
It’s not hard to set it up with a LUKS-enabled system, just put the relevant kernel parameters in your /esp/loader/entries/entry.conf file.
For example, here’s my arch.conf entry (with LVM on LUKS):


<span style="color:#323232;">title    Arch Linux
</span><span style="color:#323232;">linux   /vmlinuz-linux
</span><span style="color:#323232;">initrd  /intel-ucode.img
</span><span style="color:#323232;">initrd  /initramfs-linux.img
</span><span style="color:#323232;">options loglevel=2 quiet splash cryptdevice=PARTLABEL=partlabel-from-blkid:pvname root=/dev/mapper/rootlvname rw  
</span>

If your keys are already enrolled, you can just use sbctl sign-all once, your package manager hook should do the rest.

Overall, the general directory structure should look like this in the end (files omitted):


<span style="color:#323232;">/boot
</span><span style="color:#323232;">├── initramfs-linux-fallback.img
</span><span style="color:#323232;">├── initramfs-linux.img

Reading the docs it feels close to markdown, but most markdown implementations have a much simpler format for code blocks with syntax specified:

$var = “ooh, cool code, bro.”;

Will turn into:


<span style="color:#323232;">$var = "ooh, cool code, bro.";  
</span>

(Though lemmy-ui doesn’t seem to support syntax highlighting.)

What is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro?

I am a Linux noobie and have only used Mint for around six months now. While I have definitely learned a lot, I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box. While I love Mint, I want to try out other decently easy to use distros as well, specifically not based...

Exec ,
@Exec@pawb.social avatar

Nope, all manual. If Arch had something integrated then Manjaro would have it.

Tumbleweed solves the first issue as well by running BTRFS by default on root with snapper configured. I’ve done a few rollbacks in the 3-4 years I’ve used it, and it’s way better than trying to fix an Arch system with pacman. I could get the same effect with Arch, but most users aren’t going to consider BTRFS or ZFS on root with Arch (I had BTRFS on /home on Arch, but that didn’t help much).

What about LVM snapshots? I assume everyone sets up LVM nowadays anyway.

Exec , (edited )
@Exec@pawb.social avatar

any distro doing that

I meant manually. I’m not aware of any GUI tools having support for the special LVM features either.

What transparency do you want after all those jailings and murders?

What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

Entirely Automated AI Powered News Site Runs on Linux AWS Server with Docker

For the last few months our team has been working on an entirely automated AI-powered news site. I am excited to announce that v1.0 is finally being released. This version includes full coverage with every article generated from 2 left leaning, 2 right leaning, and 2 neutral sources. We have also added an anonymous commenting system for people to share their opinions freely. Our servers are now running 24/7 so that new articles appear as they happen! Let me know what you guys think, as well as any comments/concerns/questions you have!

Here's the link: https://www.neuraltimes.org/
