Dang, Suse really coming in strong with this. I still wish they offered openQA too. Between Rancher, and Suse they really do go pound for pound against RedHat.

I hate to see what this could do to the very fledgling linux gaming rennace. Hopefully we see it get real teath before corporate Microsoft puts even more pressure on it.

I only respond to comments when I have something to say. If people leave comments that have no room for me to add I just vote up or down and press on.

I love radio stuff, but I just haven't dove into Ham yet. That said there a local radio shack with their call signs posted on the window so I might just dig in.

Maybe find my excuse to actually use gnuradio for something.

The rest, ansible for any sufficiently complex enough setup at the moment. Good for integration work with LDAP, etc if your using that. Again may play around with guix on that front.

I'm a /home on separate drive/partition kind of guy. I like it just following my installs. Though seeing some using guix/nixos to create a config for my desktop has got me wanting to spend a weekend trying that out.

This is what I tell people when they get frustrated learning how computers work. Its not like math or natural science, it's all just useful levels of bullshit people made up to make the electric rocks do things. Learn what helps you understand how the rocks work to make it think about the things you care about.

Yeah, I realized I started to sound snarky when I said "I work on computers" when people ask me what I do. Didn't mean it to sound dumb, it was just honestly the level of understanding about computers a lot strangers had when they asked.

Saying I did networking or worked with servers didn't mean much, but sometimes people would ask me to work on their WiFi...

I feel like getting into opensource software is easier than it ever was at least, the biggest Barrie's I see are people thinking they can't and advertising making people defensive about sticking to proprietary options.

I also blame the education system, the fact that my computer teacher thought that opening R, trying to reconnect to WiFi, and opening the cmd prompt were all attempts at "hacking" is sad. The fact our robotics class shut down when the exchange student left, because he was the only who knew how to program was sadder.

Part of the problem is the people making the standards don't even know how ignorant they are themselves. Like I at least recognize I have a lot learning to go, and lean heavily on people more experienced than me in fields I'm not the expert.

Every one learns something for the first time. Expert to noob all start in the same state of knowing nothing.

Multi community bot is actually what I want to see, but even with multic/s I think similar community not would be useful (not every community really needs to merged together).

To be honest building a edit history views makes more sense to me. This project is opensource we can do more than work around.

Start a housing coop and community land trust to keep housing in the hands of people that need it. Rapid public transport for the housing coop for work, groceries, etc. Buy the old tracks and turn them into intercity people carries.

Buy the land from friends and family to pay off their debts and give it to the community land trust.

Start a community coop grocery store, pharmacy, clinic, etc.

Start a community electric coop focused on being a microgrid first and connection the national grid second.

Start a community fiber and wireless ISP coop, and fighting tool and nail to end the current ISPs state monpoly on shitty expensive service.

Try and create guerenteed minimums for both so no one has to disconnect because the money istoo tight.

I'm choosing to divest and look for more opportunities to help community ran distros to better fill that niche. Maybe NixOS or Guix as system os and rke2 and flatpak for the rest of services and apps.

"Plague dogs" is the most depressing movie I have ever seen, I was in a funk for a few weeks after seeing it. In terms of conveying an emotion no other film has lived up to that movie for me.

I don't recommend it.

Man I watched "Sorry to bother you" with spoilers, but still was not able to guess those parts. Awesome film!

The snap store is proprietary, flatpaks handle the graphical app space better, OCI containers handle the service space better, and really high reported load times.

Flatpaks are awesome IMHO.

People are down voting you for responding to someone saying they don't know and would like to know more with "you have no idea do you?". Like yeah, they said so themselves.

Right now? Bad. Other Big Tech would swoop in and tech their place and try and take their proprietary market share, but a lot of the open source work would be left to die on the vine, including Firefox. It would be a loss of paid talent in the FOSS world and a massive consolidation of big tech.
