  • Ah, I did the exact same about a week ago. To be fair, I installed Kinoite on a second laptop, because I really need my working setup for the next couple of weeks. So I am not forced to use the Kinoite.

    The thing that mostly drives me back to Arch, ist that I dont really understand the different appoaches of flatpak, toolbox and the package layering, or more their specific pros and cons and when I want/have to use what, depending also on my threat model.

    I even struggled to get my Thunderbird working with my old config, because it wouldn’t recognize my .thunderbird in /var/apps/net.thunderbird.Thunderbird/...

    Although Fedora has a quite good documentation, which I read with joy (which is not usual) I feel that I am missing some graphical depiction, or something :D

    I think the last 2 days I didn’t touch this, because I was thinking about writing a lemmy post, with the following:

    1. What are the most obvious things one has to learn/understand, before switching from arch to immutable (esp. kinoite) ?
    2. What steps in your workflow changed, and how do you feel about them? Like do you like them? Is it annoying, but you know it’s for good so you still do it? Do you really don’t like something?

    Thanks for your post, it came just at the right time :D

    Nooo, I just read the omnivore Readme and was so excited, just to read this blog post afterwards realizing that now you buy in some proprietary AI shit with it :(

    Edit: it seems like the selfhosting software is still seeing some traffic, but until now I didn’t understand, whether there will be further development or just documentation…




  • +1 that question, I’ve also never installed/used OpenCloud, simply because I didn’t see the benefit of it until now.

    Based on the comments given so far, I have some hope that over time, the Go-approach could give us a more resource saving, but feature full alternative to tangle with, so I will stay tuned :)

    For now I will stick to Nextcloud, because it gives me all the features I need and the maintanance, at least for the couple-hundred-user-instances I maintain, is not that bad, as I often read around the web :) But I also can understand, that people wish to have less maintenance struggles and therefor try sth else, wich is good for me, so I can hope for more experience reports in the near future :p

    Then, only the vpn provider would see the very same traffic, the ISP would see without vpn.

    The ISP would just see your connection to the vpn provider.

    The sites themselve would just see the vpn ip.

    So it’s not the question about whether anyone sees the traffic, but who.

    Only Tor would hide this traffic in a sense.





  • This seems like a normal cheap android phone with a bootloader-unlocked operating system and some pre-installed ad-block and rethinkDNS’ish Apps imstalled?

    And no offence, but the advertising video itself is more scamy then the wedding-dress shop around the corner that is always closed and dusty, but still paying a horrendous amount of rent each month…




  • I see lots of sidekicks against Manjaro, it’s a thing apparently :D I am using manjaro on a framework 16 for about a year now and it never broke anything, just works wonderful for me, although I dont have any fancy requirements other than a working Linux.

    But i would be interested in the critics about the team and their “bad” decisions, as stated in some comments. What were the problems?
