Politics of equality

Block neo-nazi blue-yellow flag covers

Vanguard revolutionaries are closet authoritarians capitalist reformers

linux with runit or s6 and no-systemd minimalism

I fix old machines, from PCs to flat heads and pushrods

EVs are the number 1 threat to the environment, unrecyclable toxic waste with a 5y life expectancy

  • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS To Get 12 Years of Updates

  • Suspiciously all current LTS expire on Dec 2026 there is nothing planned ahead of this. And 3y for 6.6 is the shortest of any LTS I remember. My bet is Linus retiring then LF taking over everything.

  • Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?

  • I am almost certain the first system alpha was ported to was ultrix, those other ones didn't exist yet. Probably developed for alpha, but on its pre-release demo I saw it was ultrix. Sometimes I confused ultrix with sgi/irix@jollyrogue

  • Docker team is considering distributing Docker Desktop as a Flatpak and Snap

  • Could we add "Distrochooser" to the sidebar?

  • According to distrowatch for a couple of years going MX/linux is nearly twice as popular as the second most popular.MX were part of the mepis community antiX belonged to too, with more than a decade of history and body of forum discussion.

  • Questions about switching to Linux

    Jump

  • Partitioning among other things, the choice of efi/bios gpt/mbr, bootloader and its location, choice of filesystems, is dangerous to someone who has only win10 experience. Also the mindset of stop being a user and become a sys-admin is also foreign to windows users with MS dominating the role of sys-admin.

  • What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

  • Docker team is considering distributing Docker Desktop as a Flatpak and Snap

    Jump

  • I would suspect that making a stable desktop inside docker ensures it would work everywhere else, no matter what the hw/sw of the host is.I've only known docker as a building environment that ensures rebuildability and I can't say I ever liked it. I think its popularity comes from some myth of safety and security.

  • I had a brief opportunity to play around with an AT&T workstation running unix, more like a 386 than any sun/sgi machine that costed as 2 new sportscars. It had a very brief life, despite of the quality of the box, it was pretty useless. Slow as hell windows 95 would run circles around it.

    Then out comes DEC/Alpha with Dec's unix, was it ultrix? And in those machines later windows NT was also ported, so it was a testbed between the two worlds. Then RHat CDs rained on us@jollyrogue @eah

  • Because some developers act on their own consciousness and don't have a slavemaster corporate manager telling them what they need to do or not do.

    When one doesn't like any of the available choices yet a new one is born. Can you measure how many v.terminals we have, or how many window managers on X11?

  • What's your experiences with Debian and Rocky as a homeserver OS?

    Jump

  • That is a strict position some have, but I didn't say this. Editing /etc/sudoers and giving sudo or wheel group users a no-passwd access is insecure.

    sudo chmod 1777 /tmp

    will not ask you forpasswd, it is like bypassing sudo

    If you open sudoers you will see what I'm saying. In debiuntu it is sudo group in arch/void ... it is wheel group

  • That's 23s of your life wasted, but how would you set it?NOPASSWD?

    That's not secure by most experts, people do it as convenience, but say rogue code was run by user and sudo was open, ... done your system belongs to someone else now.
