Did it!

No

• TPM encryption or LUKS in general
• general distro architecture like ostree

Yup, Wayland is so old it already has old concepts. But it is also changing a lot

Ironically that link (that I manually took from the browser as it would otherwise be a permalink to my instance…) doesnt work in Jerboah

Awesome!

Thanks, exactly what I searched for.

Lemmy has a huge problem with federation of small servers it seems? At least my server has immense troubles loading anything from some servers and it seems clicking the ! Links forces the server to load them.

I think every instance should promote a random community every day to prevent this tech-only and only big community monopoly

Imagine Git for Lemmy

Damn didnt know that was FOSS

You need to use a hardened browser with as little unique identifiers as possible. Then you need to delete cookies and use different or unified IP addresses, obviously.

2 notes.

Timers are not needed luckily, you can but the timer in the .service file and call it a day. I love chatGPT for that as the syntax is annoying.

That is a slightly modified variant of my automatic rpm-ostree system updates which took an hour or so with the help of ChatGPT and a lot of testing around.

Systemd services are lit.

If you add a “repeat when conditions are not met” you need another timer to start it. Like 2 loops, one big loop to start the process, and one small loop to keep trying until conditions are met. I do that with my system updates to prevent them being done

• with low battery (or even using an AC requirement)
• over a metered network
• when the system is busy

Okay then that was the “extreme” mode and maybe was already removed.

I think their concept is just as flawed as “dash to dock”. Desperately trying to “not be Windows” (while mimicking mac lol)…

You have a huge top bar that is mainly unused space. You have no hitbox at the top right edge, because of the bad GNOME decorations (also in Firefox) and because of that stupid top bar.

Then having a dock with empty space around it, where you could easily fit clock, quicksettings and menu, why??

Dash to panel fixes most, just not the bad hitboxes to the top edge. And luckily it is very actively maintained.

Ubuntu meanwhile keeps that useless top bar and also places a bar at the edge. This is good for regular screens. But it is annoying when tiling in half.

And they dont fix it, as they still keep the silly top bar.

And the main issue is their theming, which breaks apps.

Can we stop calling a good software dev autistic or stuff?

If you use dnf you are not affected, yes

Doesnt look like that, many translations but also normal maintenance

It is also a lie as the installer doesnt know any percentages.

But afaik Debian installer, Calamares, Fedora Anaconda and more all have loading bars

This is so damn needed

To my knowledge they did some horrible “performance” fixes like disabling Windows Defender.

Windows requires you to install random software. If you are really careful, you could live without antivirus, but honestly just dont.

If your PC doesnt tolerate the overcomplicated Windows 11, any Linux distro is lighter.

I recommend to give Fedora Kinoite a shot. It is a very modern distribution model.

Fedora Discussion is a good resource for help, and I am always down to fix the small Kinoite issues like video codecs or flatpaks.
