  • How often do you back up?

    Jump

  • Like you said, "it depends" 😁

    I have a huge datablob that I mirror off-site once monthly. I have a few services that provides things for my family, I take a backup of them nightly (and run a "backup-restoration" scenario every six months). For my desktop, none at all - but I have my most critical data synched / documented so they can be restored to a functional state.

  • Immich release v1.92.0 (edit: v1.92.1 hotfix released)

    Jump

  • I really look forward to spin this up tomorrow. Awesome release as always!

  • Joplin alternative needed

    Jump

  • I second obsidian. I was on the verge to jump onto logseq, but found its way of handling notes to be... different. I also felt a dislike of anytype where I don't really have control over my notes. Obsidian clicked with me from the start and felt right. So I went with it, even though it's not FOSS (which is usually a hard requirement from me).

  • How to secure (podman or docker) containers for public-facing hosting?

    Jump

  • Never heard of falco, why would you recommended it over other similar solutions out there?

  • PSA: The Docker Snap package on Ubuntu sucks.

    Jump

  • But this is by design, snap containers aren't allowed to read data outside of their confinements. Same goes for flatpak and OCI-containers.

    I don't use snap myself, but it does have its uses. Bashing it just because it's popular to hate on snap won't yield a healthy discussion on how it could be improved.

  • Linux tablet?

    Jump

  • Just make sure about what you're getting yourself into: features such as IR facial detection and stylus input isn't supported on all models OOTB by the surface kernel. Also, it is a bit messy with how surface handles booting.

    Linux on surface works (I got Ubuntu on both my Go gen 1 and pro 7) but expect to put in time to tinker and manage unexpected issues.

  • Linux Containers From Scratch in C

    Jump

  • How is C more secure than Rust? Doesn't it lack features such as safe memory handling?

  • I've started building a TUI for Lemmy

    Jump

  • Textual is great, and the community at discord is very helpful and welcoming.

  • I'm returning my Lenovo laptop that gave me tons of compatibility issues and getting this Dell XPS 13 instead. Thoughts?

    Jump

  • This is a great personal quality you're wielding. Welcome aboard to Linux land!

  • What's your favorite note-taking application?

    Jump

  • That's not even the bigger problem. I found the desktop ui very clunky. There were too many papercuts for me to keep using joplin. However, its TUI and mobile app are excellent.

  • Notepad++ v8.6: 20th-Year Anniversary

    Jump

  • NPP is indispensable, it is the Windows killer-app.

    Congrats on the release!

  • This was dumb on so many levels.

    I downloaded an iso and was supposed to dd it to my USB drive. You can see where this is leading, but it's worse than you think.

    I overwrote the hdd. While I was on an airplane. Of a macbook air that I had no idea how to restore to a functioning state. And this was my workplace laptop.

    Like I said, dumb on many levels...

    Edit: while the question is about breaking ones Linux installation, one could argue that macOS share the same lineage as Linux and share many similarities.

  • What laptop to buy?

    Jump

  • The distro (asahi) is still in very early development, gpu acceleration was just recently added. That along with a esoteric architecture, will cause headaches for the uninitiated.

    The macs themselves hardware wise are quite mature, but I can't for the life of me use MacOS.

  • What laptop to buy?

    Jump

  • I'm eyeing the M1/M2 macs with asahi, but I'm going to let it mature more for a bit before I take the plunge.

  • what messaging app do you use?

    Jump

  • I use telegram and signal for different purposes and people.

    I'm surprised no-one mentioned XMPP/Snikket nor matrix. Both platforms are FOSS, selfhostable and thus gives you total control over your means of communication. Check them out if you're curious (I prefer matrix, but snikket is more lightweight and easier to selfhost).

  • what messaging app do you use?

    Jump

  • I agree with every point. The last paragraph doesn't have to be a problem though: telegram has very open and really nice APIs and enjoys a lot of FOSS 3rd party apps (only matched by matrix). Of course, we can only enjoy that as long the API usage is still free to use...

  • KDE for Activists

  • I see briar in there, bravo!
