  • Alpine Linux In An Infrastructure Crisis With Equinix Metal Sunsetting

  • Maybe I chose the words badly. I meant that want to live in a civilized place, i have been an expat for 10 years and I just want to put down roots with my wife. So far we have been moving with the jobs and I had enough. Thats what I meant with my colourful language.

  • Yeah, I know, I am in the process of leaving where I am now (eu citizen) and its between uk, germany and the netherlands. The reason I didnt look seriously at swiss, is because of all the stories I heard about people never integrating, despite efforts.

    I'm looking for my forever place, that means balls deep in every aspect.

  • This is such a superficial take.

    Flatpaks have their use-case. Alpine has its use-case as a small footprint distro, focused on security. Using flatpaks would nuke that ethos.

    Furthermore, they need those servers to build their core and base system packages. There is no distro out there that uses flatpaks or appimages for their CORE.

    Any distro needs to build their toolchain, libs and core. Flatpaks are irrelevant to this discussion.

    At the risk of repteating myself, flatpaks are irrelevant to Alpine because its a small footprint distro, used alot in container base images, containers use their own packaging!

    Furthermore, flatpaks are literal bloat, compared to alpines' apk packages which focus on security and minimalism.

    Edit: Flatpak literally uses alpine to build its packages. No alpine, no flatpaks. Period

    Flatpaks have their use. This is not that. Check your ignorance.

    Arch Linux – Best Tips for Beginners?

    Jump

  • So many tips, let me add mine.

    • btop - for monitoring and process management
    • pacseek - terminal UI for installing, searching packages (uses yay)
    • chaotic aur - repo for prebuilt binaries that are generally ok

    When installing use the archinstall the first time, unless you really want to go into the deep end and use the normal install.

  • Like folding at home :D

  • That averages out to around 300 megabytes per second. No way anyone has that at home comercially.

    One of the best comercial fiber connections i ever saw will provide 50 megabytes per second upload, best effort that is.

    No way in hell you can satisfy that bandwidth requirement at home. Lets not mention that they need 3 nodes with such bw.

  • Looking for more mods

    Jump

  • I'd love to help out. Some fax: I'm not very active in c/piracy but that can be changed, would enforce rules, knowledgeable about pirate culture ... I had a very snazzy demonoid account back in the day, so sure, why not. To the last point, goes without saying. CET.

  • Ah yes, the faux techies. This happens for alot to the technical niches. Wouldn't pay it any mind. Downvote and move on.

  • Thanks for the explanation earlier, got me excited for something to tinker with!

  • What the royal shitballs are you on about?! Grinding creates sparks from friction, have you never used a damn anglegrinder?

  • Proton Mail says it’s “politically neutral” while praising Republican Party

    Jump

  • Tuta for mail, bitwarden for passwords, mullvad for vpn. You lose port forwarding.

    I migrated last week. I dont miss proton.

  • I just distro hopped after using a distro almost a year. Is it normal?

    Jump

  • I did something very similar, spent about a year on fedora ... 33? then discovered "my preferred distro" and never looked back.

    Thing is that everyone finds their place with a distro and settles for as long as it suits their needs. Then, you might move on, you might not. Its just an OS, a means to an end. Use what you need, then use something else, no need to go to the doctor for hopping headaches :)

  • Not the biggest fan of the new logo

    Jump

  • From a "distance" it looked like a black hole. Quite iconic. I get the OCD kf having a cohesive icon set, but ... my 2 cents is that it was easily identifyable.

  • Great success!

  • Wait you are telling me that 26 subs was enough to hold the instance afloat? Holy shit take my money!
