This shift began in 2020 to avoid mandatory cloud reliance ☁️
Their goal? Digital sovereignty—not cost saving 🔒
They even contributed 5+ person-years of code 🛠️

Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource news video!
I sound awful in this one, cause I've got the biggest case of the "man flu" I ever had, meaning I've been moaning and complaining about feeling terrible for 6 days straight, and my partner has incredibly enough not donated me to a shelter for weak boys yet. Enjoy the video!

A daily #Linux command from #LinuxLexiconBot:
imgtoppm (1) - convert an Img-whatnot file into a portable pixmap
I am a human, but my little bot posts a random Linux command daily. If you don't want to see it you can mute the LinuxLexiconBot hashtag.

I need to get a
"WARNING: Will recite the whole of Operating System history on any question on Operating Systems." t-shirt.
Asked my fellow nerds where to migrate from #NixOS, considering it's being overtaken by fascists, and there's no realistic way out of it. Here's what they came up with.
- Desktop: Opensuse Tumbleweed. Fairly new packages, rolling release, atomic updates with easy rollbacks, thanks to package manager and BTRFS snapshots.
- Dotfile manager: Chezmoi. Natively integrates with Git, has templating, integration with secrets managers, age.
- Service management: Cockpit. Not declarative, but a GUI; I'll take it. Provides handle to all server ops: updating packages, managing systemd services, managing containers, etc.
- Fleet management: Kubernetes on Talos Linux. Needs decent hardware and multiple machines, and is somewhat complex, so you'll know if you need it.
Share your other suggestions! Let's help each other migrate from a fascist distro.
#linux distros: either use snapd for ALL your packaging or use snapd for NONE of your packaging. I'm surely not the only user who is sick and fucking tired of having to figure out whether the problem is with the snap package versus the distro package (deb, rpm etc).
Mostly, fuck snapd - it lives in the same place in my heart as system fucking d.

Time for a new #introduction!
I live on the border, where #Arizona, #Mexico and #NewMexico all come together.
I mostly post about #cooking, #gardening, #hiking and #publiclands
I'm interested in #music, #art, #anime, #manga, #comics, #math, #videogames, #retrogaming and #retrocomputing
I switched from #Amiga to #linux and #bsd so I actually know very little about MS Windows.

GNU Linux-libre: liberte e renove o núcleo de sua máquina com o repositório Freesh — Daltux — Ayom Blogs pt_BR
Next year (in the year 2026) I will have been using Linux for 30 years!
I first started using Linux in the year 1996.
⁂
I was both an IRIX and Solaris user before I was a Linux user.
Which is part of what attracted me to Linux — Linux was a Unix (like thing) I could run at home!
⁂
Another thing that attracted me to Linux was — I liked that I could see the Linux source-code.
Around that time I was learning how operating-systems worked from a computer-programming point-of-view

📱 Diante da vindoura total privação de liberdade do sistema operacional mais utilizado no mundo, #Android, muitas pessoas, enfim, têm percebido a necessidade de sistema operacional livre em seus computadores de bolso, porém com declarações que denotam uma confusão — causada pelo mercado e replicada por muitos colegas da profissão — de que gostariam muito de comprar um telefone "Linux".
Contudo, reflitam: aparelhos com
já são exatamente isso, telefones Linux. Usam o nome de um kernel, componente, ainda que dos mais importantes, como metonímia/sinédoque quando tratam de sistemas operacionais para microcomputadores e servidores, mas não para celulares? Isso não faz sentido.
Note-se como um kernel apenas não é um sistema operacional, pois não é utilizável por si, e tampouco garante as liberdades essenciais que precisamos — individual ou coletivamente. Venho, assim, provocar para que seja dado nome ao boi apropriadamente. Se o que realmente queremos é a experiência e as possibilidades que conquistamos em microcomputadores, trata-se, nesse caso, não apenas de Linux, que é uma boa parte disso, mas sim do Sistema Operacional GNU
