Ubuntu has a diversity policy to explicitly welcome and encourage participation, mentioning that they explicitly honor diversity in sexual orientation among other things. It does not explicitly mention queerness.
A moderator made a bad a call. It sounds like there may have been some confusion about the word queer used as a slur vs a self-identification.
Upfront they describe two monocultures and then a thriving diverse ecosystem and then conclude that the thriving diverse ecosystem is the unsustainable option.
Yeah, Linux as a software ecosystem is complex and messy like a forest or the animal kingdom. It’s a feature.
There is a relatively small number of shared Tor exit node IP addresses.
So it’s more likely using Tor will trigger “too many attempts for IP” throttling for any service with bot protection.
It’s nothing against Tor, but is an expected side-affect of attempting to be anonymous by sharing the same IP address with many people.
Gimp already runs OK on ChromeOS, so I would expect the same on Android soon.
Because Linux runs in VM on ChromeOS, there were some annoyances and there will likely be some on Android.
Maybe they fixed it, but for a long time Linux on ChromeOS couldn’t access Yubikeys because Google choose not to expose those devices to the container.
And some keyboard shortcuts and mappings couldn’t work because again Google limited what the container was allowed to see and control.
And if certain kinds of problems happened, you ended losing both the apps and your data inside the Linux container.
Yeah, it will be cool to run desktop Linux from your phone. But if doing Real Linux Work on Chromebook doesn’t appeal to you, don’t expect it to be better on Android.
YADM is essentially git so about the only thing you need to remember is to use yadm instead of git when managing your dotfiles.
I use YADM to manage my dotfiles. I like and recommend it.
I don’t share them, though.
I work in a security-related position. My dotfiles expose more about tools I use, how I have them configured and if those configurations are secure.
I still like sharing and if there’s some snippet I think is particularly useful, I may share directly or post it somewhere. But I don’t share them all by default.
I also use Ansible. Using Podman’s “quadlet” adapter, the containers run as systemd services.
Congrats on the cat box cleaning!

Downside: it requires knowing a new coding language, Nix, to maintain your laptop.
If you don’t understand it, it’s going to be painful to fix anything that doesn’t work.
I have had more problems with two different Frameworks than most Thinkpads. Battery died, boot/power problems on both the 13 and 16, touchpad problem on the 13.
I prefer the concept of the Frameworks but can’t say they have worked better in practice.
Also, all spam messages.
I host routing for customers across the US, so yes I need it all. There are ways to solve the problem with less memory but the point is that some problems really do require a huge amount of memory because of data scale and performance requirements.
Nope. Some algorithms are fastest when a whole data set is held into memory. You could design it to page data in from disk as needed, but it would be slower.
OpenTripPlanner as an example will hold the entire road network of the US in memory for example for fast driving directions, and it uses the amount of RAM in that ballpark.
Thanks for sharing.
It does look like there’s a way to use PiHole personally for those who share the network with those who don’t want it: leave default DNS server setttings alone except for your own devices.
And if you aren’t home or available?
Does PiHole ever break a family member’s browsing, and then they don’t know to fix the issue because it would involve understanding opening up the PiHole web interface?
Simple means different things to different people.
I self-host Ghost and find it pleasant to use and low maintenance. It is a single Docker container plus MySQL. I recommend a reverse proxy in front of it like Nginx. There are importers from many other blog formats.
Lol. After professionally hosting email for 15 years I’m happy to let someone else handle it now.
About 90% of incoming mail will be spam and it will be your job to make sure you are doing good job of classifying it so you don’t get junk in your inbox and don’t lose real mail in the spam folder.
Then for outgoing mail you need to make sure SPF, DKIM and DMARC are all in order.
Then there is all the usual stuff of security updates, backups, monitoring, alerting, logging and having a plan for internet outages.
Yes, it’s all doable but I won’t expect it be “set and forget”. I expect there will be quite a bit of tuning with some possible spam and delivery problems while you get kinks worked out.
