It is a risk as seen in the exploit in xz utils.

Please don’t call yourself stupid. The common internet slang for that is ELI5 or “explain [it] like I’m 5 [years old]”.

I’ll also try to explain it:

Docker is a way to run a program on your machine, but in a way that the developer of the program can control.
It’s called containerization and the developer can make a package (or container) with an operating system and all the software they need and ship that directly to you.

You then need the software docker (or podman, etc.) to run this container.

Another advantage of containerization is that all changes stay inside the container except for directories you explicitly want to add to the container (called volumes).
This way the software can’t destroy your system and you can’t accidentally destroy the software inside the container.

We use forgejo at work and the runners usually do the trick. You cab have them run any shell command you want, manage secrets and the syntax is the same as on github.

I think you flll for sarcasm.

Edit: Okay, I saw your other post, ignore this answer. It won’t work.

Just to give you another way of doing it, I propose using “a third party provider” for your DNS, which you said you didn’t want, but since I think it could still work, I tell you how it would work:

Duckdns is a free provider for DNS and let’s you create standard certificates via let’s encrypt without exposing the rpi.

You can register for free and just input your local IP for the raspberry e.g. at charger8283.duckdns.org

Since the IP is local, no one outside your network can access it, but because the URL is registered globally, you can get a certificate using nginx proxy manager.

This would result in https traffic, that never leaves your local network and is also free.

Probably better to put it in a Linux meme community.

That seems relatively straight forward:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

The first line adds a repository source, where the mesa packages can be downloaded from via apt.
The other lines just update all repository data and upgrade.

Then go to the command line and do

history | grep "apt"

This will list all commands that include “apt”, that you ever executed.

Wow, I read that in the completely wrong way for a sec and wondered, why you had 38 upvotes for promoting the banning of open source contributions from certain countries.

Btw. how do we get them to do that banning for the whole of EU? Asking for a friend.

Lemmy also allows you to edit your post afterwards, so you could still do it.

That is awesome news. I tried setting up Stardew Valley mods some time ago (probably for the big variant even) and it was an error prone hassle, though it mostly worked in the end.

And then there is a colleague who programs in Notepad++ directly on the test server and then just copies his code to prod.

(yes, he works alone on that project)

I honestly thought he was kidding when I came across the g=git example.

LibreOffice can be configuresd to open online files with your local editor.

Edit: Also there seems to be a real web version.

My home directory has its own nearly full 300gb partition, so it could be better…

Yeah, flatpaks that just write into $HOME/.var are a prime example of how not to do it.

Since the other replies don’t seem too beginner friendly I’ll try another way:

The desktop environment determines how your taskbar looks and your start menu. Also the edges windows and the buttons to close and minimize windows. Also some basic programs like the system settings.

Mint and bazzite are distributions. They bundle software, test it and sometimes develop it further (like the mint guys do with their desktop environment cinnamon). Also they provide the package manager and the packages and their versions that can be installed through it. (Others can always be installed through other means but a lot is available through it)

NTA

Cinnamon is available under arch too and it’s relatively easy, getting a package into aur.
