yup discovered this on my server yesterday. needed something on there so just did sudo apt install blahblahblah and then come to find the little ubuntu fucker installed a snap of it.
I really should have gone with another distro for my server but meh i’m too lazy to fix it now.
yeah but from a University IT Admin standpoint NixOS would just be so much easier to maintain and set up. you literally would just need one config file to slap on all the machines. Install the OS, clone the config, rebuild, walk away and go to the next computer. Program causing issues and needs to be removed? cool edit the config, push it to the repo, clone it to all the machines, rebuild.
would be brutally easy though.
trying it out now on NixOS. it’s buggy. VERY buggy just a word of warning but it is VERY early alpha. Can’t really do much with it right. Font issues, command window not popping up, etc. Promising though. would love to have something like qutebrowser but with decent ad blocking.

and people will continue to use Discord.
within the past month? what all these people in Asia suddenly found a stockpile of machines with Win7 on them and all, collectively, decided “yeah lets just use these”?
I don’t buy it.
I use Bitwardens self hosted option, VaultWarden, that I run in a docker. works fine. I use it with the bitwarden CLI since I’m using QuteBrowser on all my machines. I then run a weekly backup of my vaultwarden to an external ssd.
Beauty of it is that it will also work with Bitwardens extension on chrome or firefox. So if I’m on another machine and I need access to my PW’s I can just install the extension, add my self-hosted vaultwarden, then remove it when i’m done.
I deleted it because the GNOME users were getting annoying.
yeah I thought I was an Arch addict up until like 3 weeks ago when I decided to give NixOS a go…I just can’t imagine myself anywhere else right now.
The other week had a GNOME dev reply to a thread of mine on mastodon stating that the users desire to select a default terminal emulator was an “edge case” and it was beneath GNOME. then all the GNOME fanboys came out to his defense.
It’s an insufferable DE and community.
sure thing, just gonna get started on it now so…give me like 20min.
Sorry, took 30min not 20…anywho https://market.andmc.ca/
welp guess I’ll set up a Canadian instance for this today. I like it. good idea.
done. https://market.andmc.ca/
PLEASE NOTE FOR MY FELLOW CANUCKS: I’m just starting a test on it within the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) at like a 50km range. if it’s fine after a couple days then i’ll gradually expand it out. I DON’T have a lot of time to work on it today so It’s very bare bones right now but it’s up and seems to be working fine. have at it I suppose.
Second NOTE: I have no clue how to deal with a marketplace so as far as “rules” go i’m clueless so…don’t be a dick.
ever tried PCManFM? I use that and it feels like the old Windows Explorer.
I run Akkoma, Navidrome, Searx, valutwarden, RomM, Forgejo, wireguard, RDP, and a few other things all via docker. Honestly I just keep everything in their own dir and just have Yazi on my server to make it easier to manage. I don’t auto update anything, it’s all manual updates.
I’m probably going to slap Watchtower in there to just make things easier. don’t really need to over think it in all honesty.
I host my own Akkoma instance and it’s great. easier to set up than Mastodon, more light weight, etc. Only downside is the UI is a bit of a cluster and you really need to do some editing to make it look decent. Haven’t had any issues interacting with anyone on Mastodon and what have you.
OR they could grow a spine and actually back up the shit they claim to advocate for. You can simply geoblock that area/state/country and state to your users there that you value free speech and you won’t bend the whims of a authoritarian government. Let the people who are now being denied a service complain and get it changed. Other companies have done this most recently Imgur.
For a company to immediately bend the knee and institute ID checks doesn’t fly right with me. They’re stating that they are more than willing to change their policies at the whim of whatever government body. Also they are more than happy to start collecting MORE data on users to then do god knows what with. How do I know Bluesky isn’t going to sell said data they’ve obtained? how do I know how secure my ID is with them? And I do have to question their motivations when they consistently, immediately, agree to collect data on their users this way. Bluesky is essentially still a start up and they need funding, what better way to get more cash flowing in then harvesting their users data?
I wouldn’t trust Bluesky as far as I could throw them.
Claude Sonnet? so you enjoy being lied to on a daily basis because that’s all you’re getting from Claude. Claude Code is alright but using Claude.ai you might as well just throw a dart at wall to get a solution on something.
but what’s there to stabilize? It’s quite literally Arch Linux with a Hyprland config. The support for it, I imagine, will be dreadful. You can’t get support for it from the Arch Forums as they will NOT help you if it’s not actual Arch Linux and regardless of the fact this IS actually just Arch with a logo slapped on it the Arch Forums aren’t going to touch it.
It’s just a sleezy dude marketing his dotfiles.
sure but it’s like saying to someone “here’s the Linux Pool! dive in!” and then you show them a kiddie pool that has Arch Logos on it that have been scratched out and it’s full of piss. Not a great introduction to Linux imho.
stopped using Amazon when they switched to Bluetooth lockers that can ONLY be opened via their shitty amazon app. Prior to that? was easy and the lockers were great. either enter the code you get emailed or scan the barcode and boom locker opens. NOW you need to have the amazon app which tries to connect to the locker via bluetooth. It’s hit or miss. I don’t want to use your amazon app, I just want my stuff. The thing doesn’t even work most of the time. I remember once I was waiting in line to pick up my package and of the 5 people standing in line with me at the locker 3 of them couldn’t get the locker to open. Contact customer service? it’s a known issue…
