I just use termux + the simple http server built into python

Yeah, I read that manual but it didn’t answer my question.

The big problem is that the arch wiki describes a setup with nested subvolumes first (in a subvolume below @ or whatever your root subvolume is), but then suggests in a tip to use a subvolume directly below the top level subvolume. The limitations mentioned in that manual don’t seem to apply to either setup, as they would prevent swap from working, which is not the case. I have tested both setups and they work fine — or so it seems. I’m worried there is some hidden gotcha I’m missing.

in addition to that, some of those limitations simply don’t apply to my setup, as I only have a single device.

It’s bad to brush your teeth after eating.

The reason for that is that when acids are in the mouth, they weaken the enamel of the tooth, which is the outer layer of the tooth,” Rolle says. Brushing immediately after consuming something acidic can damage the enamel layer of the tooth.

Progression fantasy

Putting something on GitHub is really inconsequential if you’re making your project open source since anyone can use it for anything anyway,

Except for people in China (blocked in China) or people on ipv6 only networks, since Github hasn’t bothered to support ipv6, cutting out those in countries where ipv4 addresses are scarce.

So yes, it does matter. Both gitlab and codeberg, the two big alternatives, both support ipv6 (idk about them being blocked in china). They also support github logins, so you dob’t even need to make an account.

And it’s not a black or white. Software freedom is a spectrum, not a binary. We should strive to use more open source, decentralized software, while recognizing that many parts are going to be out of our immediate control, like the backbone of the internet or little pieces like proprietary firmware.

Ventoy. I love it so much, being able to have more than one bootable iso and storage on a usb.

Although, it is slower to boot the more folders you have, since it scans all folders, but this is configurable

I use nix-shell to get the ventoy cli for when I need to install it to a usb stick.

That only applies to unstable distros. Stable distros, like debian, maintain their own versions of packages.

Debian in particular, only includes security patches and changes in their packages - no new features at all.* This means risk of breakage and incompatibilitu is very low, basically nil.

*exceot for certain packages which aren’t viable to maintain, like Firefox or other browsers.

https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/

I dunno, some of these are a pretty big deal, in particular:

Gitea repeatedly makes choices that leave Gitea admins exposed to known vulnerabilities during extended periods of time. For instance Gitea spent resources to undergo a SOC2 security audit for its SaaS offering while critical vulnerabilities demanded a new release. Advance notice of security releases is for customers only.

Gitea is developed on github, whereas forgejo is developed on and by codeberg, who use it as their main forge (also mentioned on that page). Someone dogfooding gives me more confidence in the software.

I like to watch people program on twitch. Seeing people suffer with code reminds me that I am not alone.

The comparison isn’t quite right because you can use git with any provider (Github, gitlab, etc), including multiple at once.

On the other hand, snap is hardcoded to only be able to use one store at a time, the snap store. To modify this behaviour, you would have to make changes to the snap client source code.

It’s a crucial difference.

What? Github is not open source.

And plenty of people have issues with Github: https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/

their entire hosting site is, itself, proprietary and/or trade-secret software

There is a reason for this: https://yast.opensuse.org/

https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:YaST

Yast is opensuse’s configuration/setup tool, and it’s used in the installer.

You can also use it from the installed distro itself, even configuring things like grub.

Adiabatic temperature change

I can’t find the source code for this extension

Why? In case authentik goes down, so you can recover data? Or something else?

I am settting up authentik and other selfhosted services right now and my plan was for authentik to have all the accounts.

If you’re not trying to create complex virtual networks, or have hardware accelerated graphics, VirtualBox can be a bit unintuitive, but has all of the features that VMWare makes you pay for, available for free.

Have you tried running a vpn to your phone while tethering?

https://moonpiedumplings.github.io/guides/unrestricted-tethering/

I experimented with it a little bit, but it didn’t go anywhere when I discovered my phone already proxies/NATs all my traffic.

Also switched here. OBS on wayland has some new features, that I’m excited to take advantage of, but I still cannot find a way to share some windows, but not an entire monitor.

OBS has another feature: “virtual monitor”. It does what it sounds like, and creates a virtual monitor, which you can then treat like a real monitor, like extending to, or unifying outputs, etc.

It also has a feature to share the entire workspace, but it doesn’t work like I expect, and instead uses all monitors (not workspaces) as a single input source. I suspect that’s a bug tbh, because this behavior is useless considering you can just add monitors as a source side by side.

Edge WebView2

I’m like 90% sure this requires edge to be installed, even though the EU mandated that they make edge uninstallable. So that might be their game here.

I remember this being brought up with an acquaintance, but basically there’s a bug where the newest fedora kernel isn’t compatible with VMWare.

So yeah. Either wait for a kernel patch, or wait for VMWare to fix their stuff. But they might not, other users have mentioned that they’ve gone downhill after being bought by Broadcom.

If you want 3d acceleration on virtualized Linux guests, other than vmware, you have two options:

• GPU passthrough
• Virtual gpu (virgl/virtualgl/egl-headless)

The latter is basically only going to work on a Linux host, virtualizing Linux guests (although it is possible on windows, with caveats).

The other downside is that no matter which option you pick, it’s all going to end up being a bit more tinkering (either a little — assign a vm a gpu, or a lot, install unsigned windows drivers), compared to VMWare’s “just works”/one click 3d acceleration setup.
