Thanks to all for the responses.. and thanks for this detailed response. I have a habit of making simple things complicated... Which it looks like I did in this case.

I also completely agree on Chimera. It's such a solid distro.

I am running Chimera Linux which I really love for a bunch of reasons. I have a need to run a few applications that are not going to work with MUSL, and are not presently offered via flatpak. Thus, containers I think are my go-to. II was thinking of spinning up a minimal Void linux to use these apps. I don't have experience running containers at this point and have struggled to understand how to interact with them.

I like simple, and Chimera offers the following solutions -

  • Containerd
  • Podman
  • Bubble wrap
  • Chroot

I am pretty sure I can get away with a terminal only setup for these apps, but what if I need a GUI? Is there a good choice among these for security? Resources are not at a premium on my laptop. What do you prefer and why?

TIA!

It says nothing about removing pennies from circulation. They're just going to stop making new ones.

I'm down for this 'change' :D

Another pointless article.

  • Polls are crap. Who answers those calls? The same damn people over and over.
  • The results are " strong feelings" or " nearly 50%" !?!?

I usually ignore motherj articles anyway.... Guess I can keep doing that

It is what it is at this point, and as usual, Democrats will completely mis-read the room and rant about shit that won't win them the midterms. The best we can hope for is TheIdiot falling flat on his face.

Literally, from the article:

It was also not immediately known how many of the fired prosecutors intended to challenge the terminations by arguing that the department had cast aside civil service protections afforded to federal employees

That tells me federal employees have different rules and they may have a path to make things uncomfortable for a while. Whether that's worth the effort is up to them.

If this implies success in that field, I would choose financial investing.

Using a bit of those funds, I could go learn and become an expert in many fields and enjoy each one. If your not learnin' you're dyin'

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9 Pro. It's nice to have better control over what data is leaving my device. Updates / patches from upstream AOSP are usually offered in GOS in the same timeframe it takes to hit regular Pixels.

Thank you Michael. Hopefully you're only writing checks for 4 years.

I disagree with your premise that this is all evil corp. The fact is that demand drives housing. Someone is going to buy and build on that property. Full stop.

I am not aware of any fire proofing techniques for homes in a situation like this. References please.

As mentioned above, we've had nearly 100 years of fire suppression practices that kept fuel from burning. I'm not sure how else to mitigate the properties other than clearing all trees and bushes. I don't think it would help in this situation.

I agree that climate change is a problem and a contributing fsctor.

I've been running Chimera for about 8 months and love it. I'm very picky about package managers, and APK is up there with xbps (Void) in performance.

Almost everything I need I can run via flatpack. There are a few apps that I miss. They have a guide for porting them but I got lost last time I tried to get everything setup.

I thought about just running a container for those apps, but got lost in that setup too :). I'm waiting for some winter westher to hit so I have an excuse to stay inside and play with it.

Yeah. So you, myself, and some others are the exception to the rule. But, you can't look at it that way because its a 'lowest common denominator' problem. The least secure of us means we are all only as secure. Others need to be hand held.

It's definitely time to raise all boats and drop SMS 2fa like a hot rock.

Yep. I walk faster than anyone I know. I'm trying to be better about letting the other walker(s) lead so I can be in on whatever conversation they're having.

We won't know the winner til Thurs eve or Friday. My money is on Friday.

 

One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I've been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I've got the itch to switch.

I am looking at rolling / up to date distros. I'm inclined to use CLI when available.

I've been considering Opensuse, but last time I used zypper it was painfully slow. Has it gotten any better?

I was thinking of trying Alpine, how is APK?

Not interested in *butu, but apt seemed okay.

What's your favorite and how does it behave?

 

I see a lot of users who post have @nameblah@instancetheiraccountison, which I think is very handy when posting in other instances. Did I miss a step in my account setup? How do I set my name up in the same manor? TIA
