caseyweederman,

I didn’t read the “these packages will be removed” list.

Oh, another time, I ran sudo rm -fr /usr/bin to test out Timeshift. I had more tests planned, but it turns out all the commands involved lived in /usr/bin (obviously).
Turns out Timeshift was able to rebuild it all like nothing ever happened, so that was cool. Also let me swap between major OS releases super seamlessly.

caseyweederman,

Or installed Bookworm.

caseyweederman,

Also… It’s included in all versions starting with Bookworm.

caseyweederman,

I thought I was alone

caseyweederman,

I am also very interested in the answer to this question

caseyweederman,

Ah

Presently, the transplanted eye is not communicating with the brain through the optic nerve.

How to download ALL dependencies for an external .deb package (rescuezilla)?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to prepare a live iso with a USB stick including the additional rescuezilla package (or, alternatively, additional packages for a live rescuezilla .iso). Sadly rescuezilla does not support encryption, and so I’d like to be able to create/encrypt an image on one single live iso, not having to do a...

caseyweederman,

If the dependencies are in the repos you’ve added since, then apt-rdepends should be able to pull them.
I had to keep chaining grep -v to ignore packages that didn’t exist but the result was a success.

caseyweederman,

Seven more years of ELTS

caseyweederman,

You can sort and filter it.

More generally, are you questioning why the Top category of tools exists?

caseyweederman,

There’s a deb in Ubuntu Universe.
Oh heck, it’s in Debian Bookworm too, and Bullseye-Backports.
Debs all around.

caseyweederman,

Switch is that perfect sweet spot right in the middle. Very versatile.

caseyweederman,

Haha, to look deep? Same here.

caseyweederman,

What is a 'droid but a miserable pile of circuits

caseyweederman,

Politeness and dignity are just as much for yourself as for the recipient.

“Use Snaps”
“No” (installs .deb)
“Fuck you, use Snaps”
(The Snap Store is a proprietary closed-source black-box that updates your snaps without asking and every part of this statement was a deliberate planned feature by Canonical)

caseyweederman,

Linus swore that Bitkeeper wouldn’t alter the agreement further, like a mad egotistical movie villain.
Canonical is very clearly funneling their userbase towards a Snap-only environment (something that already exists as an option).
As the sole keyholders, and as a for-profit business, what is the next step?

Is it to maintain a wealth of options, even when that cuts into profit margins? What about when those options are competing products (think Gnome and KDE back in the Unity days)?
These things just do not make sense from a business perspective, and they will not be necessary once their userbase is locked into the Snap walled garden.

As to your point about licenses and market share, default non-options and limited choices aren’t compatible with conversations about choice.

caseyweederman,

I love the idea of developers getting paid. Let’s do more of that.

caseyweederman,

I looked into it. You’re right.
They implemented the ability to permanently hold all automatic updates.
After five years of debate during which they consistently claimed that the whole point of Snaps is that developers can push whatever, whenever.

caseyweederman,

…baphopet

caseyweederman,

Johnathan Sims would like to know your location

caseyweederman,

I haven’t had to touch xorg.conf in many years

caseyweederman,

Por que no los dos?

Distro for experienced Linux user

Hi, I’m looking for a distro for my laptop. My first distro was Pop!_OS, then I switched to Fedora, then Arch for a year and 2 months ago I switched to Fedora Silverblue, because I wanted to try immutable distro that relies on containers and flatpaks to be usefull. Silverblue is great but not so much for me, its not flexible...

caseyweederman,

NixOS isn’t coming very naturally to me. Just can’t quite grasp it.

caseyweederman,

That looks sharp, thank you.
