And I have some container updates to test!

I do, but only for work. There are certain tasks you can’t do easily with just api calls.

“Ghost”… That brought back memories, thank you.

Good story. And boy, I’m jealous of your first time, I wish I could go back, in a way. Keep going, it gets better.

You just went on about how easy nix is to configure, then about adding bluetooth devices, then jumped to installing ableton on windows.

Op specified they are a musician using a studio distro for studio tasks. You didn’t address any of that.

I get that you’re impressed with nix and want to share, and nothing wrong with that. But let’s at least stay on topic.

Completely dodged the question to crow about nix. I’m 90% convinced nix users are the new “arch BTW” users.

It’s fine.

Every Linux user goes through this, because the freedom means choice, and choice means lots of options.

Debian with xfce. Because I’m old. I don’t want to change, damnit!

Casaos is a Chinese commercial “loss leader” software added to tons of Chinese brands. It is not intended to make money by itself, it is intended to sell more home nas market gear like zimaboards.

It’s also not an os, despite its claims and confusing terms on Wikipedia.

Last, casaos sends telemetry to Chinese IPs, a fair amount more than most software, based on what I saw with tcpdump alone.

I’m not sure how casaos made its way into the “open source os” space, but none of what you’re saying is new.

Brodie has a good read on the pulse of Linux, worth following if you want to keep up with linux news.

Ça sera bientôt les vacances!

En effet. Bravo!

I grew up en français, albeit in Canada. In our informatique classes, we had CSA standard layout keyboards (IBM, not Microsoft).

It’s essentially a QWERTY keyboard with built-in compose key modifier and silkscreened characters on the board for accented characters (capitals included). Not too bad to learn on, and considering that QWERTY would be so prevalent in my life, I think it’s a good compromise.

When I was in uni in the 90s and finally ran across an AZERTY keyboard, I literally couldn’t use it. Not only is layout different, but the character mod sequence makes no ergonomic sense to me.

NB: fun fact, y a pas de mots qui commencent en C cédille. C’est pas pour dire qu’on a pas besoin de majuscules cédillées. :)

NBB: ¤ is an end-of-cell marker, introduced at the advent of word processors to distinguish newline and carriage returns from the ends of cells in tables. Not sure if it had a meaning before then, but my memory is saying it had something to do with sub-paragraphs.

Docker isn’t required for automatic ripping machine. Theres a bare metal install.

Good stuff!

I just vi the systemd/system/fancyname.service files father than use systemd edit, but I think the result is the same.

There are two configs you can add to the [service] directive:

user=someuser

This should allow you to run the service under the credentials of your choosing.

Remember to systemctl daemon-reload after making changes to unit files.

That is not normal. I have much the same setup, sabnzbd, Plex, jellyfin, sonar, radar. They all run under a particular user and their /opt and /var/lib folders don’t ‘revert’ to their old ownership and permissions.

Either something is watching those folders and setting permissions, or some kind of immutability is in play, but permissions normally don’t revert like that.

Did you read my comment?

If you are referring to fastboot oem unlock, there are almost no phones that don’t have dual or even triple bootloader partitions, so that won’t work by itself.

I wouldn’t trust a chrome USB TTY permission to touch anything hardware of mine.

Flashing the phone’s bootloader and image is still done with adb and fastboot, but unlocking the bootloader is by now pretty much done with tools only made for windows.

Mostly this is because the exploits use factory flashing tools provided by manufacturers, which are nearly always windows.

Well, tbf Brodie had only just covered that Hector had left upstream.

Also, it’s hot on the heels of one of leads of the nouveau driver leaving redhat and the nouveau project altogether. Karol Herbst has pointed out friction with Linux kernel maintainers as well.

There are a number of other devs who are less… Shall we say set in their ways and are perceived as completely opposite to the free and open values they once encouraged 20 years ago. And i don’t think anyone wants to see the Linux community fragment along these lines.
