A link doing the rounds, trying to petition #Spotify to take ownership of the #Flatpak package for #Linux. In my opinion, they really shouldn't have used the "2 million downloads" number, because the vast majority of those are delta updates from the same people who already have it installed. There's ~110K machines with the Spotify Flatpak installed. They should have used that number, as it's more genuine. Also, they should speak to humans at Spotify, not use petitions. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Idea-Submissions/Spotify-should-take-official-ownership-of-the-Linux-Flatpak/idi-p/5578184
Est-ce qu’il existe des outils (libres) un peu génériques pour établir des élections avec quorum dans un but de haute disponibilité ? Pour Redis on a Sentinel, pour PostgreSQL il y a Patroni+etcd, keepalived pour VRRP…
Je cherche à établir une vision « sûre » de l’ETA d’un service pour éventuellement déclencher des actions s’il est considéré comme KO. #sysadmin#linux
I'm thinking of trying out running #OpenBSD on a server instead of #Ubuntu, because Derek Sivers recommended it for its security (particularly around the more controlled packaging).
I have basically zero experience with BSD, but a ton with #linux (redhat, ubuntu, arch, centos, amazon linux, etc.).
Any advice on making the transition? Is this a good move or unnecessary or bad?
This is one thing I do not understand about Windows users. I'm headed to train an older user how to use 11. All he does is some emailing and some LibreOffice.
I'll be training him on an OS I don't use.
Now if I were to suggest #Linux, I guarantee you he'd throw a fit about "Not wanting to learn something new".
My guy, you already don't know something "old"!
Why not learn the thing that would stay mostly the same till you die?
I get that it’s hot right now, but man, the user experience of LLMs being this bot you type text to seems like a huge step backwards compared to just integrating these AI features natively into products.
Somehow I installed #opensuse to require 3 passwords.. one for decrypting grub, one for decrypting the system and one to actually log in. I have no idea how I did that and idk if i should find that cool or annoying. Yes, the idea was to encrypt my drive, which would result in 2 passwords.. but 3? Idk man..
But then again, I kinda don't want to reinstall again. #linux
Have you ever noticed that there are certain directories everyone has? ~/Documents, ~/Downloads, ~/Desktop, and so forth? Some of them you don't need, some of them you might wish were named differently, but any time you rename or delete them, the originals reappear?
You see, these directories follow a standard so that all programs know where they are—with the right tools under your belt, you can customize them.
It's another priority thing:
Bluetooth isn't a priority for #OpenBSD
Having a cohesive OS with good docs isn't a priority for 90% of #Linux distros
Being remotely SANE isn't a priority for #Canonical
