Jeez, what an impressive troll work in the comments

I’m afraid that if the sanctions will continue to be a go-to method of dealing with geopolitical rivals, we may end up with a few divergent forks. One for US and “the west” block, one for Chinese comrades with their junior Russian partners, and maybe one for Indian code gurus who don’t like both sides and have capable engineering resources themselves.

Not nationality but alleged involvement with sanctioned organizations. There are plenty of Russian names on maintainers list remaining.

You can do 2FA with Keepass, just not TOTP. Add a key file or a hardware key on top of your master password and you pass “something that you have and something that you know” test

Yeah, agreed. If I needed a filter for allergens I wouldn’t trust noname brand too

Air filters. For car, HVAC, etc. Branded or OEM stuff is usually overpriced.

Quite happy on lemm.ee

I never did it, but it’s interesting to read about. Last year I was planning a family vacation in Orlando, and we are in NYC area. The deal breaker for me was the cost which was like 3x of the flight. I understand that it would be more comfortable and probably I should compare with business class flight, but still…

I’m running Nextcloud from a Turnkey LXC template that’s available in Proxmox. Runs solid, I have no complaints for performance or stability. But upgrades are manual and very involved. It’s not too complicated, but there is always something that needs extra attention or troubleshooting. I also wasn’t able to figure out Turnkey migration toolset that they suggest to use for major upgrades, such as to new version of OS.

Well, my original plan was to copy configuration over after I install apos that are not available as flatpaks. Looks like I can copy configuration for those too, just to another location

Interesting. It says that the project is in pre-alpha stage… not sure if I would be able to verify the scripts it generates

That’s what I mostly do now. But it requires some extra work, as some apps are not available in Ubuntu DEB repository. Also, I don’t like the approach that Canonical takes, pushing snaps so much

I really like GNOME. I know not enough about security of it compared to Cinnamon

Thanks! This is helpful

I see your point… I use Debian for my self-hosted environment, so having similar system on desktop may save some cognitive load. My main arguments against Debian are (maybe misinformed though):

• No btrfs support in installer OK, Debian wiki says it’s there
• Major annual upgrades to keep up with stable look more scary than more incremental and frequent updates of Fedora. And using Sid as someone suggested sounds too crazy for main PC

So yeah, looks like it’s just upgrades… Gives me something to think about while I’m moving my apps to flatpaks

Thanks!

Bookmarks and passwords are taken care of. And for the apps I’ll try to get migrated to flatpaks as many as I can while still on original system.

I also see that full disk encryption is being recommended a lot, and I don’t have any solid reasons to encrypt only /home.

I have not given much thought on Silverblue. Is it “flatpak-only”? If so I’ll need to go through my apps to see if that could work. And my backup strategy will need to change - I use Duplicacy that is not available as a Flatpak

Yeah, looks like migration of flatpaks between OS is easy and makes sense a lot

Oh, that’s neat! Thanks!

It just gets… dumber? It’s pretty subjective though.

Not a dumb part, but the main characters, being separated for a long time, don’t get their own interesting storylines. It seems like authors got bored with characters and didn’t know what to do with them. New characters are usually boring. Duarte’s daughter, Kamal’s son - they are just background… The only strong character in focus is Tanaka.
