Somebody the other day asked what the point of the immutable desktops are. Well, ostree can do this. Granted, you have to stay within the ostree ecosystem. However, you can rebase from one ostree distro to another.

It’s one of those things that sounds cool and fun, then you realize it’s mostly just paper work and reading logs.

You’re welcome?

How could they be butt hurt from you not understanding Lemmy and federation?

Therefore, someone above you gets to control that still.

There is nothing stopping you from running your own Lemmy instance and choosing to federate with whomever you choose.

Lemmy even did the same thing Reddit is doing now

Which Lemmy instance? If you don’t like it, just join a different one.

This is all the beauty of not only federation, but also open source.

Turns out, those are sort of the same thing. You are given the power to shape your feed how you want it instead of how some corporation wants it.

It absolutely could exist. It’s just likely that a lot of servers would defederate them. That’s kind of the beauty of federation.

Nah, he’ll get foreign investors to help him and be further owned by foreign governments like he did for X.

Location has been super annoying for me in Fedora. Neither the weather nor the timezone automatically update for me. And I travel every week for work.

I love how much the community has embraced Atomic. Bazzite is making a huge splash.

It is an appstore for Flatpaks. Flatpaks are a universal app package for Linux that runs in a sort of containerized environment. They’re very prolific in the immutable linux world.

It’s closer to Slack, but Rocket Chat is another option.

Another thing to note, it seems that immutable is the future of linux. The Fedora project roadmaps the Atomic desktop taking over the traditional Workstation. OpenSUSE also looks to be moving to it as the default in Leap 16. Being new to the ecosystem might be advantageous because you don’t have the old habits.

That’s almost every tech company. IPOs are designed to make the rich richer. They get early access which drives sales, others buy into the hype, and the early access people cash out.

Rosy? Star Trek said we had to go through a nuclear apocalyptic war before learning to cooperate.

The important part about this is that Vulcan doesn’t just use yet another Russian bought rocket engine. It uses BE-4, from Blue Origin. Finally, someone other than SpaceX building rockets. Too bad it’s the other out of touch billionaire with too much power and influence that is doing it.

I was just adding context to the Fedora part of your statement. Honestly, Fedora has some work to do in order to really leverage it fully. When they fully integrate snapper, or something like it, then it will be actually using the benefits of btrfs imo.

Pigeonholed on Linux because of the incompatible license. It can’t be a part of the kernel. No technical reason it can’t, only legal reasons it can’t.

Fedora adopted it as default with Fedora 33. SUSE has been using it as default for many years now. Facebook is one of the largest users and contributors to btrfs. It’s a solid filesystem when it’s not used to do things it warns you not to do.

You could potentially do it even better the other way around. You can use clevis and tang to have network bound disk encryption setup. That way, anytime you’re connected to your network the disk auto decrypts. For laptops, I like to put a decryption key on a USB drive that auto decrypts the drive. Network bound disk encryption doesn’t work over wifi and this way I can still have it decrypt on the go but lock it by removing the USB key (like if you leave the laptop in the hotel room just take the USB out and keep it with you).
