I was so hyped when the EU pressured Apple into allowing external software on Apple devices.

Apple killed that hype making the change EU only, problem is I’m encapsulated in the walled garden with an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Air Tags, HomePods.

Thinking of getting a second phone Android based to partially-escape the garden but if I ditch my iPhone all hell will break loose network wise.

Forks of Firefox (like the Tor browser) are still Firefox, no matter how neutered it is.

Yeah, it’s quite obvious how majority of the users here align politically speaking. I mean take a look at what happened to !conservative@lemmy.ml and !conservative@lemmy.world

Say anything remotely conservative and you get downvoted to oblivion, but who cares, karma doesn’t matter here.

Edit: looks like they banned/de-federated !conservative@lemmy.ml & !conservative@lemmy.world for my instance, makes sense for what happened.

You can use Bash if you want, but it’s not a necessity

I would argue and say at minimum you should be comfortable with Bash and the file system , otherwise if you spend a year running Linux and encounter some obscure error you’ll be totally clueless troubleshooting wise and might end up breaking something else.

9 times out of 10 the software you’re looking will typically land in your Distribution’s repository, before it lands in the main repository it’ll be vetted for stability and security in a testing repository.

For example; Steam-Installer is located in the main repository for Debian 12 (Bookworm) they also have a newer version in their Debian 13 (Trixie) repository for testing the next generation of Debian..

If you want to install software outside your distributions repository you will need to vet the software yourself and make sure it’s compatible with your distro.

Hope that explains it a little easier.

True, but there have zero incentive to honor such requests

Pretty sure 23andMe is based in California, don’t Cali laws legally require them to delete the data when requested?

Americans blame Canadians for drug smuggling, Canadians blame Americans for firearm smuggling. It’s a tit-for-tat that’s been going on for decades.

But do we need a change to a government more in line with the “new direction” of American politics,

Absolutely not I agree with this sentiment.

My main problem with the liberal government is their take on crime & firearm ownership, it’s blatantly obvious 99.9% of gun related homicide in Canada occur from illegal & smuggled firearms from the US, it makes no sense to target licensed PAL/RPAL holders (who receive daily background checks!) with these bans.

Criminals already ignore the law, what’s this going to stop?

Edit: TIL StatsCanada doesn’t differentiate firearm related homicide from illegal/legal firearms.

Tired of the liberal government, weak backbones, abusing OIC by blaming the increase in gun related homicide on registered firearms owners and law abiding citizens, unnecessary carbon tax, shoving “pride” down our throats, increase in price for essential items.

We need a change.

Why not just host the stack at home and VPN in? Jellyfin is pretty snappy I don’t think you’ll struggle much network wise.

Am I the only one who hasn’t gotten one of her messages?

Sounds like self inflicted pain.

It most certainly is unfortunately. gLib2.0 is apart of the Debian main repository but for some damn reason I couldn’t pull it with apt.

Resulted in building it with meson but had so much trouble.

Yeah this post is bull shit!

I just spent the last 2-3 hours building SSHFS from source for Proxmox & Debian, it really sucked!

Ps: Fuck gLib2.0

Just bricked my Proxmox install an hour ago and I had the pleasure to learn their recovery process sucks. (At least for my case)

Think of them as a simplified mimic to the windows file system, they create this fake C: drive & user directory with basic windows paths (user, app data, program files, etc) an you can choose what firmware gets installed to prefixes (like .Net frameworks) an all this is how people can run .exe executables on Linux.

When you run wine ./something.exe a prefix is automatically created and the application uses that prefix to make it think it’s using the windows fs.

I picked myself up a Asus NUC 13th gen I7, chose Proxmox VE as the OS (headless Debian 12 for the main VM) and have about 35 services running via Docker Compose essentially 24/7.

Is it the most elegant setup? No, but everything runs beautifully.

Just make sure your Linux kernel supports the Intel chipset as they are relatively new.

Taking a look at both of these, Revolut seems more like a UK bank rather than something anyone can quickly signup for.

Wise seems promising, the question lies whether or not their privacy & security is reputable.

Thank you for this!

This was maybe 2-3ish years ago;

I started with a raspberry pi 4 bundle from Amazon, played around with the Linux filesystem, bash shell, APT package manager and just kept reinstalling the headless Debian 12 OS if I believed to have bricked it beyond repair.

Eventually learned about the Docker Engine & Docker Compose and that essentially gave access to a plethora of software I would’ve have never have used before.

The raspberry pi 4 started to show sluggishness as I started piling more and more services on it so, Instead of buying traditional server grade hardware I liked the small form factor of the Pi so I opted for a 13th gen Asus Nuc with an 12 core i7.

Everything runs beautifully now and I even run Debian 12 on my desktop as well!

Use to work In a recycling warehouse for plastics, the amount of batteries that would run through our line then get compressed in a baler or shredded was ridiculous.

I swear we would have bi-weekly fires, our local fire department probably hated us.
