Kate’s dope for everything, small notes, code.

Baby Yoda don’t look!!

Yeah, I kinda hate to admit this, but I just don’t have the free time to dedicate to this project as I used to, so it’s kind of dead. It’s the classic I-started-a-job OSS killer.

Some options for people looking to migrate off Drop:

Fork it! It’s OSS for a reason. I picked a stack that’s very easy to learn, and if you really want to, it’s well-known by LLMs so you can continue to vibe-support it. LANCommander is kind of my recommendation, despite not having used it, It’s OSS and has some awesome features that I’d love for Drop to have. GameVault seems to be the most established option, but it’s not OSS and has a paid tier. It’s lack of support for Linux and, in my opinion, a weird looking UI led me to create Drop. RomM looks like the best for emulators, if you’re into that. Sorry to disappoint with the project, but I am always available to answer technical and support questions if you decide to fork it - I’d love for someone to pick it up and continue maintaining it.

Edit: I’m also happy to hand off maintainer permissions to someone in the community that I can trust, and would like to take over the project.

vpn company be normal for 1 second challenge [impossible]

China also has a centralized data repo that companies can access but must also contribute to

6k people swapping in a couple weeks is pretty big. And it’s likely more because not all computers use countme

It’s the kind of thing they should have developed to release-ready state 20 years ago -

That did happen btw! The project is called the android open source project

Yeah rolling back snapshots is way more annoying than ostree and is kinda a shotgun solution. Also ostree saves more disk space.

It’s nice to have an undo button on terminal shenanigans!

Yeah. You can layer it like a git repo fork layers it’s changes. If something breaks you can just clear that forked branch and redo it. Takes like 2 minutes to fix.

So yeah you can alter system files in a very safe way and can easily revert changes if you don’t like the result. rpm-ostree reset is the command that clears all changes and resets to master.

How long have you been using Linux? I’ve been using it since around 2004. About every 2 years a major upgrade would make my computer kill itself and I’d have to manually repair it over the course of a weekend. I do security software work and often to make that suite of software (some of it not niche like vpn apps) function you must alter some system files. Layering these apps over the system solves the problem.

It requires literally zero work from me to maintain, that’s why I’m enthusiastic and want the project to do well. Saying mutable Linux is zero work is dead wrong. And if you do put work into your system, it actually sticks and doesn’t decide to explode one day over it.

The real problem is config drift. You have to maintain a lot of little fixes over time as you operate vanilla Linux. I’ve run fedora atomic (and rebased to bazzite when it got fairly big) since it launched years ago with only one relatively minor hiccup that was resolved by a single line in terminal (rpm-ostree rebase). You can layer stuff over it to modify the base image and clear it if something breaks, whereas manually removing critical packages and being sure to clear every file would be a nightmare on any other distro. It’s an extremely hands off experience that works just like git does and is very bullet proof and reproducible.

I like putting it on old people’s computers. It’s perfect for a seamless experience.

I have a tens unit attached to my ass that has its voltage increase as bazzite gets more users

i find its easier to just copy paste cryptomator everywhere into backups than rclones built in setup

Yeah, I could see that. It’d be very interesting if it did, though

Its on flathub btw
