It was nice while it lasted (not)

possiblylinux127 ,

It will never be compatible with X because they are different designs. X relies on a central program (server) that accepts commands from programs. It is also a mess as it was built during the 80s for 80s hardware. It was expanded over time but you can only stretch the arch so far.

Wayland doesn’t have a server. You desktop talks to the hardware and then the desktop accepts connections from apps.

possiblylinux127 ,

That’s not the norm

possiblylinux127 ,

I think the desktop itself does that. For instance Gnome is working on accessibility

possiblylinux127 ,

Don’t

Also I find it easy to just write a docker compose.

possiblylinux127 ,

I don’t get it. Why do you want a benchmark?

possiblylinux127 ,

I love that this is the only comment

possiblylinux127 ,

Can we get developers from the heavens to maintain FOSS?

possiblylinux127 ,

What? Why would you stick your finger in your ear?

Debian used to be so good. What happened!? (lemmy.world)

Firefox on Debian stable is so old that websites yell at you to upgrade to a newer browser. And last time I tried installing Debian testing (or was it debian unstable?), the installer shat itself trying to make the bootloader. After I got it to boot, apt refused to work because of a missing symlink to busybox. Why on earth do...

possiblylinux127 ,

TL;DR

You want Debian stable with either back ports or containers. On desktop flatpak is your friend. Also do not add extra repos.

Honestly there is little reason to not use flatpak for web browsers. If you want packages from Fedora or other distros you can use Distrobox with podman as the back end.

possiblylinux127 ,

They can just use Flatpak as it will be the newest outside of Arch. Alternatively they could run Distrobox with something like Fedora.

Installing outside packages is generally not a good idea. You can use Distrobox with a upstream distro like Fedora or you can use Debian Back ports.

backports.debian.org

possiblylinux127 ,

It is fairly easy to use

possiblylinux127 ,

Thats not a good idea unless you do a proper upgrade (dist upgrade or similar)

It is easier to use the testing iso

possiblylinux127 ,

I use rsync and ZFS snapshots

Shower thoughts are wasting water.

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it back...

possiblylinux127 ,

I still have trauma from growing up during a drought. Technically I still live in a dry climate but it isn’t as bad now.

Take care

possiblylinux127 ,

Damn, it sounds like your area needs some good reservoirs.

possiblylinux127 ,

It is very expensive in dry places with less water. Where I live there it is a tiered system where the more water you use the more expensive it becomes. Right now we aren’t in a drought so the tiers are quite large but when it starts becoming dry then the tier shrinks and water prices go up. They are put laws in place that only allow you to water your lawn during specific times. The city also runs programs to get people to plant native grasses that will do well with low amounts of water.

possiblylinux127 ,

$37 USD a month is dirt cheap. I pay several hundred sometimes.

possiblylinux127 ,

As it turns out, yes

possiblylinux127 ,

I wish I had that.

possiblylinux127 ,

Dam son

possiblylinux127 ,

They could just open it up

possiblylinux127 ,

It is easier for the government to reduce water usage of businesses than individuals. It saves water when they can mandate that the car washes save water.

possiblylinux127 ,

It can help significantly. Having a big reservoir that can hold water during dry years and then collect water during wet years is really good. It is expensive and requires land and infrastructure but it can make it possible to not need water restrictions during dry times.

possiblylinux127 ,

True but with planning you can make it work. Instead of not watering at all you can water 2 days a week.

possiblylinux127 ,

Dam

possiblylinux127 ,

So you sleep like a bear?

possiblylinux127 ,

Why? Doesn’t you city council or similar organization want to take care of its citizens?

possiblylinux127 ,

Would anyone notice?

possiblylinux127 ,

Weird request but ok

possiblylinux127 ,

Why? Also you can buy more ram. It isn’t super cheap but it isn’t expensive either.

I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that. (programming.dev)

Imagine your friend that does not know anything about linux, don’t you think this would make them not install the firefox flatpak and potentially think that linux is unsafe?...

possiblylinux127 ,

In short, no

possiblylinux127 ,

Brazil is younger

possiblylinux127 ,

You can but there would be little point. Fedora has its own repo for instance.

possiblylinux127 ,

Apt is a package manager. Flatpak is an app format that happens to have a package manager. It isn’t designed to manage a OS.

possiblylinux127 ,

It could also he that those people aren’t using computers with Linux

possiblylinux127 ,

It is per download not per person.

possiblylinux127 , (edited )

Well that isn’t the fault of Flathub. If a country or organization blocks it that’s a local issue. This is especially true in China where they need to control the movement of information. Blaming flathub and Flatpak for censorship is frankly unfair.

Just to be clear I do not support Chinese Authoritarianism

possiblylinux127 ,

Your bypassing restrictions that could get you in trouble. Tor is the right answer in that case. However, bypassing restrictions can have dire consequences.

possiblylinux127 ,

Well I know Ansible and it works for my needs. I briefly used Nix and it was worse. Ansible is nice because you can just install ansible and then apply a playbook.

possiblylinux127 ,

Twisted repo system

Oh no, the evil repos

possiblylinux127 ,

You can but I wouldn’t

possiblylinux127 ,

I just think Flathub shouldn’t get involved with Chinese attacks on human rights. The Chinese version of things lack proper encryption and are heavily censored. You can’t use things like normal Wikipedia or Ticktok.

China isolates there own people. You can’t blame Flathub for attacks on freedom. As for mirrors your welcome to create your own repo based on Flathub. However, it is never going to be officially enforced. Flathub is very careful with user safety.

possiblylinux127 ,

I think the haters are louder than the people who just use it occasionally

possiblylinux127 ,

Yeah no, it isn’t. I know that from experience. It constantly goes down and is controlled by Microsoft so it favors there way of thinking.

possiblylinux127 ,

What are you trying to do? Why don’t you just use full disk encryption?

possiblylinux127 ,

I don’t think that’s possible without an OS. For encryption you need a strong passphrase.
