It’s like regular Fedora KDE, except that it avoids this problem of traces of past experiments everywhere.

Kinoite is much more than that: it is an atomic and immutable spin of Fedora KDE. This has big implications but the gist of it is that:

1. You can roll back to any previous version if anything breaks

2. The base system cannot be modified

3. If you need to install RPM packages, you do that by adding “layers” on top of the base system, and these can be removed if needed to go back to a clean base system

4. You can switch from one spin to another by “rebasing”, but it is recommended that you remove any additional layer first and that you stick to the same desktop environment

My experience on other distros was that upgrading in place a system that deviated too much from “stock” would wreck the install. I would personally play it safe and backup my home folder and do a fresh install.

Just don’t forget to test your backup before formatting your drive!

Only restic snapshots are backed-up to B2. ZFS snapshots are for undoing mistakes, though I enabled them recently and I have yet to use them.

My work flow is pretty similar to yours:

For my desktop and laptops: systemd timer and service that backups every 15 minutes using restic to my NAS.

For my NAS : daily backup using restic + ZFS snapshots.

All restic backups are then uploaded daily to Backblaze B2.

This is common in rolling releases

Happened to me on Ubuntu with minor kernel updates including regressions lol

Meh, I don’t think that would fit the community.

I thought for a minute this was a /c/FuckCars meme. I’m disappointed.

lol, Sony came up with that idea 10 years ago, and it flopped hard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSC-QX100

I don’t know. Is there a community for coordinating moderation across instances?

Sorry, didn’t know!

I don’t know, they send this message from different accounts as well. I might have banned two of those already on my instance.

(PS: this community is intended as support for people setting up Lemmy instances, not as general Lemmy support)

I don’t know, I only play Sims 4 on the EA app and I read of people getting their EA account banned for playing multi-player games on Linux, so I did not even try.

I got both Steam and EA App versions running on my Steam Deck and desktop (the latter runs Bluefin). For the EA app I used Lutris, it works like a charm.

In my native language, fediverse translates to “fédivers” which sounds like “faits divers” the “incidents” or “'news briefs” section of a journal.

I encrypted my professional laptop’s drive in order to prevent access to company data and code in case of theft. And I’ll probably encrypt my personal laptop as well because the SSH key can access company code.

As for the desktop, I didn’t and probably never will, because theft is less likely and that would be a pain to handle for nightly backups (it is turned on with Wake-on-LAN and then a cron backs up my home directory to my NAS).

Finally, I won’t encrypt my NAS as well for the same reason: it would quickly become a hassle as I would have to manually decrypt the drives every time it boots after a power outage.

For those wondering what this is Troy Hunter (HIBP founder) wrote an article on this new feature.

My theory is that it is used in the belief that it would trick and bypass algorithms used to detect copyrighted videos.

From what a gathered, it was the classic misconfigured AWS S3 Bucket. It’s criminal how AWS still makes the default configuration insecure.

Edit: apparently buckets are private by default now, haven’t set up S3 in a while.

I find this Tom Scott video (YouTube) to be pretty good at explaining why you would want a VPN and why most marketing arguments are BS.

Mozilla will probably lose (part of or all of, it’s not clear yet) Google’s funding following their monopoly case, so it’s probably best for them to look for other revenue sources.
