Honestly, I am pretty surprised that Baikal requires that much :D It should literally take no more than 100 MB of memory and way less CPU, IMO - or did you mean the size of a VM?

In general, I agree with the sentiment - at the same time, I think the idea behind Nextcloud is to cover more use-cases at once and serve as some kind of a "extensible platform"... and honestly, it does that quite well

+1, Thunderbird's Calendar is the best OSS calendar application out there.

XD

Pipewire and Wayland are boss brothers

For some time I have been lurking around this topic and for general computer use, including typing, talon seemed like the best option

Good for you :)

They also have this outer “wing” as well. Check some reviews. I’ve owned wf-1000xm3s, jabra elite 75t’s and these and these fit the best BY FAR

I am using the Sennheiser True wireless 3's right now and I love them. They have noise reduction mode, sound great, are ipx-something resistant (sweat for sure, light rain) and fit snuggly (for me)

I really enjoy how GNOME handles windows currently already.

Between having the ability to move and resize windows with Super + (mouse left|right), switching between windows of the same application with Super + backtick, workspaces and Super + type to search, there is very little to desire.

Unlike tiling VMs, this makes sense out of the box for 99% of the apps out there while providing a really quick way to get where you need quickly.

I would commend any student that would be able to figure this out in my hypothetical school

I am currently using e-cigarettes as a former smoker

I would say:

• if you aren't smoking already, there isn't really a good reason to start
• if you are smoking and sort of kind of want to continue, e-cigarettes are most likely healthier than analog
• if you are smoking analog and want to quit, there are better ways to quit for sure - I don't feel like committing to quitting just yet, however when I do feel committed, I will go with the tips outlined towards the end of the Huberman Lab - Nicotine’s Effects on the Brain & Body & How to Quit Smoking or Vaping podcast

reminding me about I nearly got suspended because I showed my Health teacher how you could bypass our school’s firewall and buy drugs on a school computer

It's such a rejected behavior to even consider suspending you for this.

Anyway, yeah, I agree. I think if one has interest in the inner workings of a computer system, just trying to make Linux do whatever you want it to do is a good way to experience that. You will, over time, without knowing, accumulate so much information just by troubleshooting things that don't work for one reason or another

I think that's kind of the benefit of Git repositories in general; you really don't have to do much to start contributing on any platform, really - just sign up, fork, git clone and MR (for most of them except sourcehut, really, where you use mail to send your patches in)

The barrier of entry for people that are already comfortable with Github and git in general is basically nonexistent on any of these platforms - which is a plus

I use Flatpak extensively. I really like it. That's all I have to say.

Sounds cool. I think I will stay with Fedora and Ansible for now, it's good enough™ for me right now. Will be interesting to see if the future will be something like NixOS or Fedora Silverblue

Thanks for the insights :) I appreciated

Go Debian

Yeah, you are right. I kinda see Nix almost as Terraform in the sense that "what's not defined isn't there"

How long did it take you to migrate from the distribution before and what's your experience in this space in general?

I like the idea of a declarative configuration, but I find it hard to justify when Ansible has the potential to do the job 99% as effectively.

Also, what do you feel are the most "killer features" in nixOS?

I mean, if you don't understand the components that you are using to build your custom router enough to be able to debug it's function, you most likely shouldn't be building it in the first place

Maybe it's also subjective - I feel my focus drifts way quicker using dark mode than light mode, especially since I have to focus much harder with my eyes on the writing that I am looking at.

From the practical perspective of websites, there is a lot of inconsistency between sites. Some are well made with some "darker" shade, but I completely can't stand the sites that just go all in OLED black with pure white letters - makes my head hurt hard. Light mode seems to work generally well everywhere

Depends on how far you are looking to take it, I would say. Generally, I can see how a larger organization (around 500 people) can benefit from it, at the same time I can see how it can be a massive waste of time in other orgs.

GNOME

For technical documentation, most of our teams are currently using Gitlab pages, however we are steadily moving to Backstage

Downvote target comment, however light mode has been studied to be clearly superior to dark mode - so I just use that

Benefit of that is that there are very few websites that have only dark mode available, while most content that has the dark mode option looks more consistent with only white mode on

I know that you said none of this is using Docker, however if you are willing to go the Docker/Podman route, I've been using docker-transmission-openvpn for quite a long time with great success.

It does exactly what you need

honestly this just seems like venting based on your own experience of a terrible implementation that just so happened to be called "devops" in your company

Even though Apple is a trash company as well, they have one thing going for them, which is if they do something today, I am fairly confident it will be around going into the future, no matter what

You definitely don't have to install third party antivirus

Interesting - I always ran into issues with btrfs so now I am using ZFS exclusively :D

Some people don't like the experience of firefox

I think that they don't own the posteo.com domain, just net

That said, I use posteo also and like the service a lkt

Some of the commands mentioned could use something like a simple check for the amount of cores and use the result as a variable for the number if iterations in a for loop :)

Cool article though

https://github.com/pimutils/khal is cool as well

Must bring a whole new need of expertise in DC technicians :))

That's hardly the issue or the business strategy. Chances are Mozilla would still not self manage the service if Dendrite was the homeserver

Client for the phone or on the desktop? What OS do u use?

I use it right now on my homeserver and I am 100% satisfied with how it works. The bouncer-based behaviour is what I enjoy about it

Whats the situation on freenode?
