Maybe there's an alternative to the google forms; ask them directly.
You'll always hear bad things about different parties. I think PSL is great, and they're growing all the time.
Just responding to say I love your username OP lmao
debian stable with backports and flatpaks will get you up to date software and a very stable base
I have to use it at a job. It's awful, the ads on windows 11 especially.
could always get a used pixel...don't have to buy directly from google and recycle a phone that might have been thrown out otherwise
I liked LEAP when I tried it a couple of years back. They're getting rid of it soon, and I don't really like rolling releases so probably won't try anything SUSE any time soon.
started with ubuntu in 2008, moved to debian a few months into it. Tried other distros at other times, but the stability of debian keeps me coming back to it. Plus I like the fact it's a community distro
Thanks. How could I forget about Michael Hudson?!
NetBSD didn't fork from Free iirc. They took 4.4 BSD and started developing it themselves of the net.
Theo de Raadt was kicked out of netbsd, and started OpenBSD.
you're more likely to find BSD communities on reddit, each projects mailing lists, freebsd forums, and unitedbsd.com (which is a great forum, although not too active).
No, but I think someone made read only support for ZFS available on OpenBSD. Freebsd is obviously the best for ZFS. It works on NetBSD too.
NetBSD, from their own website:
The NetBSD Project's goals
A project has no point if it doesn't have goals. Thankfully, the NetBSD Project has enough goals to keep it busy for quite some time. Generally speaking, the NetBSD Project:
provides a well designed, stable, and fast BSD system,
avoids encumbering licenses,
provides a portable system, which runs on many hardware platforms,
interoperates well with other systems,
conforms to open systems standards as much as is practical.
In summary: The NetBSD Project provides a freely available and redistributable system that professionals, hobbyists, and researchers can use in whatever manner they wish.
Based on the name of have assumed it’s be used in things like network appliances but in 20 years I’ve never seen a single device use it.
The name comes from being develop over the internet, when that was still a pretty new concept. It's pretty popular among Japanese ISP's iirc.
If you're at all interested in unix, you should try NetBSD. Open has security as a focus...although some of that is overstated imo. FreeBSD is clearly targeting servers, even if it is all purpose.
NetBSD is less popular, but it's clean, lightweight, portable, has pkgsrc. Think of Net as a cross between Open and Free.
I'm talking about impact of "sanctions" on Russian economy, how it's affected global trade, the economy, etc.
Sorry if the question is vague
Maybe this is better asked elsewhere, but question basically in the title. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Mozilla VPN, and if so what they thought about it.
Seeing mixed reports about the head of wagner rolling into Rostov, Russia. All kinds of other rumors swirling around. Anyone have any good info, or good sources to follow?
I started using Jeboa about a day and a half ago, no problem. It defaulted to lemmy.ml rather than lemmygrad.ml. No problem as I was browsing anon just to see how I liked the app.
Now, when I open the app, nothing is loaded, and changing from local to all still loads nothing.
Is this a problem with lemmy.ml? How can I change instances.
Today marks the day when the project enters the alpha phase. This has some implications, though it is not a release per se, considering Chimera is a rolling distribution; let’s take a look at what it means for potential users and contributors.
Chimera is an interesting new Linux distro with no systemd, BSD utils instead of gnu, and other unique design choices.
Reading about it on lobste.rs, the developer (or one of them) commented:
"
why does every other linux distribution exist? most of them provide far less added value compared to the others, yet nobody questions their existence, perhaps because they are fundamentally uninteresting
it’s always a combination of many smaller factors
i just wanted to make a well-rounded and somewhat opinionated system without cruft or sketchy parts, but still featureful and generally usable (no suckless junk), with a low-maintenance but high-correctness package build system and infrastructure, no systemd but taking service management and everything around it seriously (there are exactly 0 other non-systemd distros that do that), easy to bootstrap, architecture-agnostic, and hardened (as much as possible without introducing visible breakage or significant performance loss; the only “linux distro” that really takes this seriously is android, and that’s not general-purpose)
none of the individual choices like userland base or libc or whatever are goals in themselves, they are a means to an end or just the most obvious thing given the circumstances"
Interested in hearing everyone's experience using alternative phone OS's. Have you ever used Lineage or Graphene, Pursim, pinephone? Was it good enough to replace your android/iphone?
