FSL is better than strait proprietary and if a company had to choose between the two I hope they choose FSL. All that said it just doesn’t feel like there is a real hope here for the eventual Open source fork here. It’s just a fail safe for people still on legacy systems and even then 2 years of potentially no new updates … Could be killer for security flaws. With tons of paradigm shifts between then too.

It almost needs a SLA that says if it isn’t maintained to a certain level then it is also opensourced.

There is always some solutionizm in tech, but I’m interested in containerzation as a solution to problems I’ve had with configure drift building up on my systems and make it easier to share and work with the community.

The immutable desktop work to me is specifically working on bridging the gap between the UX of a local admin (you know wanting custom configuration and fast reaction to user input) and the industrial expectations of being able to test and track every change and reduce the number of different pieces you need to operate a system.

Hopefully we can lose some of the industries bad habits though. Like “relying on this proprietary piece is ok because we can move faster” or making other excuses as if you are going to have to explain to your boss why some metric looks bad instead of just trying to make the best system or solution we can.

I love Linux gaming. Got the Steam deck for my SO. She kind of hates it BECAUSE it’s not a no tinker device.

Like if you pick the right games you’re good, but want to play the “wrong” game, or want to mod, and your back to tinkering.

I don’t mind it at all, it’s just what PC gaming has been for me my whole life, but for her, someone who only experienced gaming on newer consoles it’s a pain in the tush.

Neat! What proccess did you follow for building distroless? I was using buildah, mounting dir, yum installing into the mount, and exporting that container off.

No nix is super cool! I really like the idea that guix and nix in having that system as code from build to deployment. I am not sure yet on how I feel about it for fleet/cluster deployments, k8s schedulers, network patterns like service meshes, ETCD, and operating on labels and cluster state are all super powerful.

I have looked too into using nix to make OCI containers and OCI containers to make flatpaks as well. All where they make sense of course.

Containers are really awesome, but take a bit more to troubleshoot sometimes. Docker is not the only method to run them either. I prefer podman actually, but K3s is the next logical step for running services in a more powerful setup.

All true FOSS too

OpenQA is the best answer that I know of for this too! You can even trigger from Gitlabs CI jobs if you are already here.

On a similar note, I want to try boot2container as my PXE target next personally

Setup a good kickstart script (even if it’s just enough for Ansible to Configure it the rest of the way). It’s awesome when messing with a system to be able to reboot select the reinstall PXE boot option and get a fresh install to tinker on.

Libre Software was/is the best strict definition of this to me.

Man, the Opencompute foundation work just gets no love even from people to trying to simp Facebook’s work in opensource.

Noticable shift in his content for me to me too.

Does this mean anything to anyone else? I just see question marks (on Lemmy and Fenic)

Not of Github, but Gitlab is working towards it now.

I was a computer enthusiast on a budget, so trying out new software to tinker with and rice my desktop was pretty limited until I really got into Linux. Which I started to feel I had to when I hit more and more limits on windows.

It’s the coordinated decentralization that really defines web from web2 and 1. Cooperative vs competitive coordination is just a sub strategy within that, but I don’t think either strategy is always best for all problems.

I like Dan Olson’s video but I don’t think it’s truly unassailable. There is some real use cases for block chains in low trust networks. One of those being global monetary policy. Another critic is that web3 applications (like Mastadon and Lemmy …) I think is moving forward even more so as the age of easy money comes to a full close.

While it is funny (honestly replacing any tech term with circlejerk in a tech article makes it sound so funny to me, I have the mind of a child), it’s not very relevent here.

Honestly even this platform, but any public platform without e2e and the direct choice of who to share it with.

Can you create custom decryption keys? I like the idea of an easy to use encryption mechanism for non private platforms.
