8·7 months agoWow, thanks for sharing. I’ve already read the Old Man’s War series, but now I can finish the Collapsing Empire series (only read the first book).
16·7 months agoYou can self-host libreddit, which is what I do, and it will still continue to work. That said, it is on borrowed time as development has mostly stopped.
All the public instances are unusable b/c of the rate-limits, unfortunately.
46·8 months agoAnd that’s exactly what happened in your case David. Which is why I’m so happy (also because I fixed the tools from an author I like and already had the books at home :-P):
Really detailed and cool response from the kernel developer. I also found the use of the recent BPF feature to provide a workaround until a proper kernel fix lands really interesting.
Ugh. I shared this with my wife and she is really saddened by the news. We have over a decade of historical data on Mint and she really values the insights it has been able to give to her in planning for a family.
Hopefully, the community can suggest some viable alternatives :|
Just to note… I’m not the author of the blog post, I just shared it b/c I thought it was an interesting story. I don’t think the author is on Lemmy.
I read that, but I don’t know if that means they will publish stable releases via the same repository. That just sounds like the packages themselves will end up being in those channels (which makes sense, nightly becomes beta, which becomes a release, which ends up as esr). It doesn’t necessarily mean this apt repository will be a release channel itself.
That said, there is the Mozilla Team PPA.
Would to see them publish stable releases via this apt repository as well.
Could be what communities you are subscribed to. I run a small instance with about 3ish users, and here are my stats after about 3 months as well:
9.5G ./pictrs 12G ./postgres 8.0K ./lemmy-uiWhat version of lemmy are you using? A recent update also introduced some space savings in the database (I think).
Some of the Latitudes are pretty lightweight too. My Latitude 7420 is 2.7 lbs while the most recent XP 13 is 2.59 lbs. I should note that the Latitude 7420 is a 14in display rather than 13in and it has an HDMI port, 2 USB-C/TB ports, 1 USB-A port, and a microsd card reader (oh yeah, and a headphone jack). So for a small amount of more weight, you get more I/O and a larger screen.
Not a fan of the XPS line (expensive, not great thermals, and meh port selection) and I have never own one (though I’ve seen others with them). That said, I have a few of their Latitudes (currently using Latitude 7420) and one Precision and those run Linux really well.
One thing most people don’t realize is that Dell does support Linux (ie. Ubuntu) beyond the XPS line and you can buy Latitudes or Precisions with Linux support OOTB. Additionally, Dell ships firmware updates via LVFS on their XPS, Latitude, and Precision lines. The support isn’t perfect, but I have been happy with using Dell hardware and Linux for over a decade now.
PS. You can get really good deals via the Dell Outlet (my current laptop is refurbished from there), and you can usually find a number of off-lease or 2nd systems or parts on Ebay (very similar to Thinkpads).
Great video. Our Linux Users Group will watch it every few years… it’s amazing to see how much has changed in 20 years.
I can recommend the book Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution, which I’ve read multiple times. I can also recommend Linus’ autobiography Just For Fun.
You can also consider The Cathedral and the Bazaar… though ESR can be a bit much.
That said, here are some random articles I’ve saved that you might be interested in:
Yes, most of the major distributions have package updates with the fix. A few people have mentioned updates for Arch, Debian, and RedHat already.
Ubuntu released an update yesterday as well:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.35-0ubuntu3.4
Ubuntu derivatives such as Pop!_OS should have also received this update, along with the X11 patches.
FYI, Ubuntu/Pop!_OS have already pushed out updates.
Kinda disappointing as it shows a lack of care and support for Linux, but hopefully the fix will come out soon.
I look forward to seeing the Linux numbers.
I wish they had a mastodon account… they have https://mozilla.social, but they don’t have an account there… which is bizarre.
They do have an account for Firefox Nightly and Firefox Dev Tools account though.
Do you have anything else your
~/.bashrcthat is perhaps overwriting thePATH?One thing you can do is just add
echos to your.profileto see if it is getting sourced and what the state ofPATHis as it gets loaded. That might help you trace what is happening.
It does not use snaps, according to First Look at Rhino Linux, a Rolling-Release Distro Based on Ubuntu and Xfce:
Ubuntu fans who don’t like Snaps would also love to hear that Rhino Linux doesn’t include Snap apps, nor Flatpak apps.
I’ve used Fastmail with a custom domain for a few years now… (5+?) and have been really happy with it. I wish it was a bit cheaper (or had a better family plan), but it works well with my terminal email client (mutt).
The web client is pretty quick and I use the calendar there all the time. Fastmail supports all the normal standards such as CalDAV, so you can use it with third party applications.
