Define “Operating System”…

I guess my washing machine & car are also going to be “not for use in California.”

Those Cisco switches & Broadcom DSLAMs would be tricky too … I guess the internet’s “not for use in California.”

And the air-gapped power station control system? “not for use in California.”

It is annoying that these laws come in (I’m also including magical thinking about encryprion backdoors for “the good guys”) without any form of real-world, practical assessment. Complete waste of tax payers money and undue stress for everyone.

FFS.

Hmmm… I have a spare Pi kicking about, I might give this a go.

Before I go looking for stuff, did you need a BT adapter to get better range, etc?

And then after that command has run try ^update^upgrade

See my other reply just before yours.

It was from another post a few days ago

Ok, I started to disconnect about halfway through that article and skimmed the rest, but I don’t see how this is a trap.

I just see someone highlighting LLM categorisation and the legality of training data… but no trap.

Or, am I the one stepping blindly into a trap?

A recent post in here linked to this: https://ba.antheas.dev/bazzite-postmortem.html

I used to put all my setup & config notes into tiddlywiki, and to some point I still update them, but it’s become difficult for others to update and maintain when I share them as you need a browser addin to be able to save updates properly.

The formatting is similar to markdown, but just a little different to make copying the original source that way too… but… I’d still consider it, esp. once you’ve really played with it and found all the things it’s capable of.

+1 for logseq… it literally saved my life when I changed jobs, nothing else came close.

However, the original markdown version has really slowed down development whilst the newer db version is slowly catching up, so, I’d rcommend the MD version for now, but people might want to hold for a little while…

👆🏻 This is what I install everywhere for others that I’d need to maintain as I can leave it for 6 months and then do an update.

For more advanced users that want to play & learn, plain vanilla Arch. You learn what the hell is in your own machine.

But, as someone else said, get a feel for different desktop environments (DE) as Linux has many whereas Windows only had 1.

I thought Bazzite was now dying?

What’s your recovery needs?

It’s ok to take 6 months to backup to a cloud provider, but do you need all your data to be recovered in a short period of time? If so, cloud isn’t the solution, you’d need a duplicate set of drives nearby (but not close enough for the same flood, fire, etc.

But, if you’re ok waiting for the data to download again (and check the storage provider costs for that specific scenario), then your main factor is how much data changes after that initial 1st upload.

In a different location

Also Arch, but barefoot

Some new EU funding in the background?

I’m quite happy with local apps, but I could see the appeal for self-hosting if the server would scale for the client (ie laptop on the desk vs mobile phone on the road)

I built my own NAS from Arch (btw) and wanted to just install standard packages and use standard tools (ie gparted, clonezilla, etc).

I’ve got btrfs RAID5 running fine.

Had loads of power outages (we had water meeting electrics) and have no problems at all.

Of course, RAID is not a backup, so all my important stuff is on Hetzner too.

I don’t really follow the ZFS news, but I understand that resizing / adding new drives is / was a problem, plus, back when I built this, I would’ve needed kernel patching… there’s a higher chance of those causing a problem - for my use case - than btrfs, so if you’re like me, just crack on and enjoy the easy life.

You’re here, that’s a good start…

I tend to look at a project’s Issues tracker, that gives me a feel for how the author(s) deal with feedback… some projects have hundreds of open tickets with barely any interactions, yet code updates “2 days ago”.

Being here and reading about who’s using what will help remove the major outliers

All opensource needs more eyeballs, which is still the advantage over closed source.

How’d you setup the port knocking? Is that something caddy does?

I’m using haproxy and was thinking of trying the same thing… not sure if haproxy supports it though, or whether I have to do something else …?

I agree that Linux phones would be an alternative, they’re not going to get there by the September deadline.

Open Android development will need to continue for another (vague handwaving) 5 years yet

I’d like to tell you a joke about UDP, but you might not get it… 😉
