That is one thing I still need to do, upgrade my Ubuntu server from 22.04 to 24.04. laat time I tried this I noticed many python packages were missing or failing. Reverted to the backup. Maybe now is the time to do the switch and iron out the crinks that may be left after.

Sounds like a solid plan! I would be surprised if the public opinion here would be any different. There are no billionaires on Lemmy.

This is also how I have it set up, with “firefox multi-account containers” and “simple tab groups” working together, you can have multiple containerized accounts within one firefox instance. Works great!

Also, the difference between the tone of the speechea between Harris and Trump are like day and night. Where Trump continues to throw dirt and spew so much negativity, Harris sounds like someone who steps beyond the dirt throwing and really comes with a vision and ideas how to govern the country.

Well, my 2cts from someone on the other end of the Atlantic 😀

At this point I am seriously wondering why people would like to use Chrome over Firefox for instance.

This is from the Blues Brothers movie from 1980.

AMD published a list with the mitigation on Sinkclose on all their processor ranges, and the ComboPI version that will have a patch:

Security bulletin 7014

Use of hardware enablement package kernel might help here? It is called linux-generic-hwe or something like that. It will install a much newer kernel with more support for newer hardware.

You can easily selfhost Seafile and make a ‘dropbox’ like system with as many users you like, and as large a storage you can handle / afford. Although there is an enterprise version, the community edition provides with many features to make it really a great service. It is mighty fast, and has native clients for many different platforms, in addition to using the Seafile website to acces, upload and download files.

I never hosted Nextcloud, but from what I read, it is a beast with way too many features to fit my use case. Seafile is doing one thing very well.

We have to speed up technology so that it outpaces us humans getting older!

That’s the right question to ask! It may have to do with the Halo effect as well. Even though the influencer not necessarily is a celebrity, they have build a certain level of trust with their followers I guess… In any case, I dont get it either, but I may fall out of the audience for any influencer I guess…

Ah, that is a good point. I am using 6.5.0 kernel atm, as part of the HWE (hardware enablement) package, which supports QuckSync / hardware encoding of my 12th gen intel processor. I did a quick search, but did not find HWE for Debian is that correct?

Yes, I am running unattended-upgrades, and basically my current server is running 24/7 just fine! It is indeed like set and forget already. More reason to move to Debian!

It seems to be the most logical move to go from Ubuntu to Debian indeed. As I understand it maintains the core Linux system as I have it now (systemd / apt / stable kernel) while truly community driven. I have to look into transitioning into the latest stable Debian release.

interesting! So I should be able to throw my docker-compose yamls directly at Podman and be good to go?

just curious; why would you like to use podman over docker? I have a lot of docker containers running, wondering if I should switch to podman.

bot fight! lol…

We know humanity is lost if bots are starting to fight over domination…

hmm, not sure why baca would need so many requirements. I installed baca using pip as per (https://github.com/wustho/baca), on a hedless ubuntu based server. Maybe on Arch it would need to install / update python packages?

You could also try epy (https://github.com/wustho/epy) which is also a terminal based epub reader.

baca is a terminal based epub reader. Quite nice.

Yes, NTFS indeed. That is the setup I am using right now as well, because the games drive already was NTFS. For steam this works nicely.

However, for other use cases I was creating symlinks to directories on another NtFS drive in my system, and this borked some files. So that is how I found the BTRFS option. Have not tried it myself though…
