Swiss lemming here. Switzerland already open-sourced multiple projects before, most notably the app to store your COVID test / vaccination status in. It was even officially available on F-Droid. I was very suprised at that point, and I'm happy to see that there are now efforts to make such behavior more default and less edge case, even when there are exceptions.

A little overconfident as usual imo

Step by step, it seems, YouTube is evolving into something that has previously been called TV.

My sister and I figured out that we could draw. On the windshield of our neighbours car. Using stones.

I totally agree regarding making it optional, but I have to say the idea of auto generating alt texts sounds like a really useful application of AI - no one really likes to do that manually yet a significant number of beautiful people rely on it.

Only Chinese code is present, namely [lists three linux distros]

Linus Torvalds: *clears throat*

The fact chromium based browser are going to be allowed as well makes me nervous.

An interesting trend graph of the most used distros for gaming and their adoption by users over time.

Believe it or not, she's now running a graphics design studio.

Just imagine the license fees.

IIRC extensions are sadly not a part of stable Gnome Web yet.

Welcome. I use it in conjunction with Fedora CoreOS so I hopefully never have to manually update anything ever again.

Best country in the world!

Nextcloud is a web-based, open-source cloud / collaboration software suite, which can be self-hosted

NSA loves this trick

I recently switched to Debian and use nix to install / provide the likes of node / python / go for development.

So you access the models directly via terminal? Is that convenient? Also, do you get satisfying inference speed and quality with a 16GB card?

How do you come to this conclusion?

From an idealistical point of view, sure freedom of choice is the way to go.

What makes me nervous is that Safari has been the only big player left besides chrome in regard to usage share on mobile. So while from an idealistical point of view the ban of other engines was certainly a bad thing, it still helped to prevent google from extending its monopoly.

Thanks! Glad to see the 8x7B performing not too bad - I assume that's a Mistral model? Also, does the CPU significantly affect inference speed in such a setup, do you know?

Thanks for sharing, I can relate to the desire for comfort and hope you can find it somewhere soon.

Would you mind elaborating on why you think it's crazy?

So your way is more accepting the unknown, than filling it with some sort of believe, if I understand it correctly? I'd say that's a take on spirituality as well.

That's interesting, how did you come to that?

I decided to go with this one because it's now the official distribution channel and supported by the devs. But the lsio one looks pretty solid as well.

I also experience this on LOS, but on an FP3 so RAM could be an issue on my end.

I use Fedora CoreOS on my homeserver and a bunch of VPSs. Migrated the homeserver just recently, but I've migrated the first VPSs a bit more than a year ago. So far, I had no problems with it. There's a low-traffic mailing list where the devs inform about security issues and breaking changes to the whole container stack.

I used debian before for some years, but at some point became tired of manually updating the system (which is probably one of the biggest benefit of FCOS). It takes, however, quite some time to put your first Ignition config together, and debugging is tedious as you have to redeploy to see if a bug / error is now gone (I've used a VM for that).

I use podman on some, Docker on other servers (you can't use both at the same time). Both have been working well so far.

I'd recommend it, but would also recommend taking a look at Flatcar Linux which is more or less the same without the IBM dependency (which makes my stomach hurt sometimes).

Why exactly are the IBM dependencies a problem for you?

I guess I just like independent, community-driven distros, since there's less space for financially motivated enshittification. Just shortly after I decided to go with FCOS, RedHat / IBM decided to close down CentOS, for example.

I can’t really find good resources on how FCOS is working and what are the benefits. Is it updating the system/kernel automatically as well as the containers?

The system & kernel yes. The whole system is basically a read-only system "image" for which the devs make sure all the packages play nicely together. Packages are not updated individually, but whole system "image" are released periodically, which the system then downloads automatically and reboots (you decide when it actually reboots through the config). If anything goes wrong, the system is rolled back to the previous "image".

When you go with podman, there's a systemd service you can enable which will update the containers (i.e. pull the specified image tag). I'm not aware of a similar mechanism for Docker, which is why I use watchtower for that which has been working smoothly so far.

Edit:

And what are generally, in your opinion, the advantages of FCOS?

For me, it's the (quite safely designed) auto-updates of the base system (I just feel like having to do less repetitive work), infrastructure-as-code aspect, and the container mindset (as I containerize everything anyways). Also I just have a weakness for new, fancy stuff.

Receiving a Librem 5 as a gift, having fun for a weak and then trade the thing for a steamdeck - sneaky Vanta.

Running the AV container is optional, as is using the integrated backup solution. But I can see how that might feel bloated if you don't need it.

With AIO it's almost the same: sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-aio-nextcloud php occ

One could as well argue that it's crazy to just "wake up" in some place, having no clue about where we come from and where we go. Constructing some "made up fantasy shit" might be a way to cope with that void.

If it's not your way that's perfectly fine, but I would still appreciate a respectful discussion.

Sounds like a rather frustrating journey for you.

To be fair, there are a lot of Flatpacks published by the devs themselves (especially in the Gnome/GTK ecosystem).

That's been my way as well so far. I'd be interested in how logic helps you cope with questions, such as where do we come from?, where do we go?, what is our purpose?. (Not playing devil's advocate, real interest.)

Thanks for cleaning up, guys & gals :)

Yes, you can just go ahead and install nix in your distro to use e.g. nix-shell to create a development environment.

Same problem here, my company requires 2FA for remote network access. MS Authenticator requires Google Services on Android which I don't have - so no home office for me I guess.

This has helped me a lot in my scenario.

Totally agree, that would be even better.
