Last month I published Engineering Ubuntu For The Next 20 Years, which outlines four key themes for how I intend to evolve Ubuntu in the coming years. In this post, I’ll focus on “Modernisation”. There are many areas we could look to modernise in Ubuntu: we could focus on the graphical shell experie...
Wdym with the hourly updates?
I don't have that on anymore, it's not really faster than before
But only on android ... It's blazingly fast on ios
Yes, graphene
Osmand isn't cheap to buy and a lot of people pay for it. Where else do you think their money comes from?
Osmand is slow and too complex on my pixel 9, yet I still use it
That's what I don't understand. Usually you quote the original source. What if it was a video?
The twitter guy didnt share the link to the source
I don't get why people share twitter screenshot instead of the image itself
I can play this game as well

Nix is great for reproducibility
That's called snap on ubuntu
Your description does not sound related to git. It sounds more like nix

I used the big ones, ubuntu, arch, opensuse and (atomic) fedora. Fedora had the nicest out of box experience. Morover, I moved to podman, systemd, selinux, etc. And the atomic version showed me a new workflow with flatpak and distrobox (nowadays, I use nix oftentimes).
The best part about it is that I do not care about the system anymore. I do not even interact with it. I don't install packages (besides the base layer and minimal modifications that are long lasting like installing openssl for GNOME iirc)
I use mainly flatpaks, if I need aur, I fire up distrobox, or use nix if I want to. And the best part is, I'd have the exact same workflow even without the atomic version. Even on another distro. I do not interact with it much.
Moreover, I am happy with all the choices fedora made with the base package and images. I do not have to do an informed choice like on arch. It just updates whenever I boot my pc. I do not need to read updates, they are just there, somewhere. I do not need to disable snaps or work around weird choices. I just start firefox, vscodium, a terminal and do whatever I want to do.
Edit: I actually wanted to switch back to opensuse just to support it but I guess I'd rather move to nix some day. Maybe with niri and cosmic.
Ubuntu [...] Delivering A Great Desktop Experience
And then listing changes in gnome.
It does not fork anything. Right now, it uses already existing fedora / oci images.
Besides "hate", EU wants to support EU based tech.
Suse and fedora are both linux and not that different. Nix would be great as well, especially for admins, I guess.
Nix and suse are european. Support contracts etc go to European firms instead of american.
Understandable.
Advertising for a change needs great effort. I'd rather spend the effort in improving gimp, writing down whats missing and how to get there. Adding suppor for affinity won't improve gimp, does it?
That makes sense
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/nix section latin
I'd rather support FOSS software
I addition, https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/nix German, dutch, danish and norwegian share the common west germanic root and all have nix meaning nothing
I'm serious about it but couldn't stand not mentioning it

would it be possible to use ostree and rebase between fedora and opensuse images?

TIL you can send commands to terminal (in vscodium)
I've been using the terminal for 5 years.
99% of attempts at keeping valuable code snippets failed. Or having a useful command history.
Finally, I looked up how to send a line to terminal.
I use vscode since Atom was discontinued (looking forward to zed). But in the meanwhile, I just added
undefined
{ "key": "ctrl+enter", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText", "when": "terminalProcessSupported && editorTextFocus && editorLangId =~ /shell|bash|zsh|fish/" }
Maybe it helps someone :)
With this, I can finally keep a history of all useful commands I run. Like I can have a systemd shell file where I store the commands that I ran. Or a file to store all my podman commands. Now I do not have to type them anymore, I can just run them.

how much do you donate to projects?
As share of income? In form of time?


Wie belastend ist es für die Welt, wenn wir ständig Kaffee in uns schütten?
Weniger als fünf Prozent unserer Bohnen werden Fair Trade produziert. Was bedeutet das fürs Klima und Menschen, wenn wir viel Kaffee trinken?
Vor ein paar Tagen gab es hier einen Post in dem Tchibo für höhere Preise warb und es begründete warum Kaffee bei uns teurer wird. Hier ein Zitat aus der Zeit
Laut der Brühl-Stiftung verbleiben etwa 86 Prozent des Geldes, das wir für unseren Kaffee bezahlen, im eigenen Land. Nur die restlichen 14 gehen in die Erzeugerländer und verteilen sich nochmal auf viele verschiedene Akteure. Von einem Kaffee, der im Supermarkt zum Beispiel 5,49 Euro pro 500 Gramm kostet, verdienen die Pflückerinnen etwa 0,28 Euro, die Plantagenbesitzerinnen circa 0,46 Euro.

can you boot a server if someone tries to connect
I've got a mini pc which is running always and another one which consumes a lot more power for e.g. jellyfin.
Can I configure it such that the jellyfin server only boots if I connect to it? E.g. I try to connect to jellyfin.y.com and then the server boots because the mini pc tries to connect to it.
I already figured out how to let it sleep automatically as soon as nobody is watching.
Edit: can I add the magic package to the reverse proxy?

Arnis: Transform Real World Locations into Minecraft Worlds

Arnis is an open-source tool that generates any real-world location in Minecraft Java Edition with incredible detail and accuracy using OpenStreetMap data.

That looks really cool
