Kagi

There have been so many announcements that a release candidate of a release will be coming out /soon/. It’s utterly pointless non-news.

Please can this drivel be banished.

Wait until 3.0.0 is actually released and then post it for discussion.

It’s just the natural evolution of language. Rules become loser over time

Doesn’t Lemmy support cross posting?

I considered implementing Lemmy comments and theorised I’d post to my own community/instance so I had full moderation control, then cross post that to all the relevant communities.

first experience - leaving is impossible. Back button loops can to the app.

Anything is better than minetest which sounded like a hastily written debugging mod for Minecraft

I had the same issue so wrote this down when I figured it out

Generate ultimate key

gpg2 --quick-generate-key hello@example.com ed25519 default 0 

Add sub key

gpg2 --quick-add-key <FINGERPRINT> ed25519

List keys in long format

gpg2 --list-keys --with-subkey-fingerprint --keyid-format long 

I usually wrap my USBs in a few layers of tape to reduce the leakage

This data is already public. You can just create a kbin account and see who’s voting. Anyone wanting to scrape it already can, the only difference proposed is the Lemmy client showing it.

The ability to prioritise and pin results from different sites is what won me over. Pinning stackoverflow helps filter a lot of junk when resolving programing issues, and when working with geometry I’ve pinned or prioritised a few different resources that better explain the mathematics

Kagi is pretty decent. It’s worth supporting else the space will continue to be dominated by advertising monopolies.

Why not just give it away for free? It always seems odd to me that games just disappear rather than being allowed an elegant death of old age.

Is that your experience with the OS or cosmic?

Honestly, it’s not as important. These projects are working with very limited resources, typically dependent on free labour. Accessibility is incredibly hard to get right and half arsing it isn’t going to work. The priority should be pushing out a reliable, working prototype that people want to use. Once that’s accomplished you can refocus on expanding the features.

Demand for reliable multi monitor support is going to be far higher than screen reading capabilities.

A few IDEs already provide some help with YAML. Rider will tell you if you’ve screwed up the YAML for a GitHub Actions workflow, and possibly docker-compose as well

How regularly do you really need them? Surely by the time you come to reinstall an OS there’s already a later version available, doesn’t it just make sense to create a fresh USB each time?

For example about a month ago I installed Project Bluefin on a couple of devices so that USB is lying around somewhere. But in the meantime the maintainers have rotated the update signing keys so that month old installer is now redundant.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to store stuff on the phone…

Isn’t it just far easier to transfer documents using one of the thousands of cloud apps though? Since Dropbox and such became a thing I’ve not had a use for USBs. If it’s privacy that concerns you then you already mentioned self hosted services and I’m sure there’s a few Dropbox clones among them.

There’s not much point in survival PDFs unless you’re also carrying a laptop to view them on.

If you really do want to go full apocalypse prepper then track down an archive of Wikipedia and various how-to websites.

The reason you’re struggling to think of anything to put on it is because you don’t need to be carrying a USB drive.

No aircraft cabin crew have ever put out a call asking if there are any Linux sysadmin onboard with a copy of GParted Live v1.5.0 for 32bit ARM devices .

I used Ubuntu for a long while, then Debian for a new PC because the video card or display just wasn’t working on Ubuntu.

Couple of weeks ago I finally tried this distro hopping thing people have been on about. I’d stuck with Ubuntu for so long due to an apparently misguided belief that it was stable.

I’m now using Project Bluefin from Universal Blue, a derivative of Fedora Silverblue and I’m blown away by how good it is. It uses Gnome and the maintainer has packaged a few tweaks to keep it similar in user experience to Ubuntu, along with a fantastic array of great software I never knew existed.

I’d highly recommend it to anyone historically loyal to Debian or Ubuntu.

For gaming you can easily install Bazzite as a container to access Steam. I can’t say I fully follow the tech stack that makes it work, but it just does. Whereas my boilerplate Steam install on Debian was completely botched.

Universal Blue really is the future…
