3d printed meat for sure. Getting food right has more margin for error.

Though the open insulin project has been making progress on open sourcing insulin!

Guix/nix seem very powerful. The reproducibility is something ansible just isn’t built to same level robustness for, which makes them seem very promising to me.

Its use able. I like unified update mechanism and shared package/library/image systems

That’s awesome! Next laptop decided on.

Discord -> Element(matrix) is my go to

Fedora also has a rolling release version called rawhide

I hope Linux gaming can keep growing at a fast pace to combat the inevitable clash.

Alpaca and family are major examples Ive seen mentioned.

Yeah, the big premise is smaller models, along with more devs, means opensource iterates faster and produces better results more efficiently.

Flatpaks are great for GUI apps, and have a sandboxing system that allow them to work well on any system that support flatpak. This allows devs to package once run anywhere, saving Dev time! It also has a portals system to allow for better system integration of the granular permissions needed for the app to actually work (nobody wants a truly isolated sandbox for every app).

Snap is less featureful for GUI apps, but work closer to how native packages do. The real issue is the proprietary app store required for it, making non-foss. If you want the same benefits of snap, check out Guix and NixOS both of which have a more cleaner design, and work better IMHO.

Dang, Suse really coming in strong with this. I still wish they offered openQA too. Between Rancher, and Suse they really do go pound for pound against RedHat.

I hate to see what this could do to the very fledgling linux gaming rennace. Hopefully we see it get real teath before corporate Microsoft puts even more pressure on it.

I only respond to comments when I have something to say. If people leave comments that have no room for me to add I just vote up or down and press on.

I love radio stuff, but I just haven’t dove into Ham yet. That said there a local radio shack with their call signs posted on the window so I might just dig in.

Maybe find my excuse to actually use gnuradio for something.

The rest, ansible for any sufficiently complex enough setup at the moment. Good for integration work with LDAP, etc if your using that. Again may play around with guix on that front.

I’m a /home on separate drive/partition kind of guy. I like it just following my installs. Though seeing some using guix/nixos to create a config for my desktop has got me wanting to spend a weekend trying that out.

This is what I tell people when they get frustrated learning how computers work. Its not like math or natural science, it’s all just useful levels of bullshit people made up to make the electric rocks do things. Learn what helps you understand how the rocks work to make it think about the things you care about.

Yeah, I realized I started to sound snarky when I said “I work on computers” when people ask me what I do. Didn’t mean it to sound dumb, it was just honestly the level of understanding about computers a lot strangers had when they asked.

Saying I did networking or worked with servers didn’t mean much, but sometimes people would ask me to work on their WiFi…

I feel like getting into opensource software is easier than it ever was at least, the biggest Barrie’s I see are people thinking they can’t and advertising making people defensive about sticking to proprietary options.

I also blame the education system, the fact that my computer teacher thought that opening R, trying to reconnect to WiFi, and opening the cmd prompt were all attempts at “hacking” is sad. The fact our robotics class shut down when the exchange student left, because he was the only who knew how to program was sadder.

Part of the problem is the people making the standards don’t even know how ignorant they are themselves. Like I at least recognize I have a lot learning to go, and lean heavily on people more experienced than me in fields I’m not the expert.
