Stable, fully foss and commonly used.
In my first install I had different home and root partitions. That was a big mistake. Once set, you cannot resize them properly and you are fucked if they are not perfect for your need. In my case the root partition got to small. After some time I just reinstalled with a single partition and would do that again.
But has the original author the patent?
Does the MS version have stuff that would be incompatible with the original?
If not they made an absolute shitty move.
What are the backports? How do I find/install them?

Typst is hiring
Typst, a very nice Latex alternative, written in rust has published job listings.
I think as soon as you add mods to your application that can bring their own code with them you have a potential security issue. The most secure approach that I have seen is wasm mods/plugins run in a sandbox.
I hope you have success. Ventoy is a cool tool, but those binaries suck!
Thanks for your explanation.
What does the license change actually mean? What are the differences?
Ubuntu explores replacing gnu utils with rust based uutils
At first I was sceptical, but after a few thought, I came to the solution that, if uutils can do the same stuff, is/stays actively maintained and more secure/safe (like memory bugs), this is a good change.
What are your thoughts abouth this?
As far as I know, by definition, at least restic is not incremental. It is a mix of full backup and incremental backup.
Thanks for your hint towards borgbackup.
After reading the Quick Start of Borg Backup they look very similar. But as far as I can tell, borg can be encrypted and compressed while restic is always. You can mounting your backups in restic to. It also seems that restic supports more repository locations such as several cloud storages and via a special http server.
I also noticed that borg is mainly written in python while restic is written in go. That said I assume that restic is a bit faster based on the language (I have not tested that).
How do you backup?
I recently implemented a backup workflow for me. I heavily use restic for desktop backup and for a full system backup of my local server. It works amazingly good. I always have a versioned backup without a lot of redundant data. It is fast, encrypted and compressed.
But I wondered, how do you guys do your backups? What software do you use? How often do you do them and what workflow do you use for it?
Install specific packages from debian testing
I have a few (~5) applications where the version in the debian stable repos is to old for me. Examples would be podman and restic. I found out that the version for testing are recent enough. Is it possible to install specific apps from testing while the default is stable?
Thats awesome!
Thunderbird will not adopt the new terms from mozilla
@[email protected] We won't be adopting the Firefox Terms of Use for Thunderbird. Even though you may switch away from us regardless, we wanted you to have the right information, and hope this helps!

EA open sourced parts some games like Command and Conquer
But it seems they only revlealed some of the code and not the engine nor assets.
So compiling the code could be pretty difficult.
I hate that they had "never will" in there. Seems like a broken promise.
New Terms for Firefox from Mozilla
UPDATE: We’ve seen a little confusion about the language regarding licenses, so we want to clear that up. We need a license to allow us to make some of t
Apparently mozilla wants the right to get data from firefox users. But not like general information, they want to know what data you upload or download through firefox.
Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example.
What the fuck? I use firefox because I want privacy!!! Not sharing my information with a company.
We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. WHY DO YOU NEED MY DATA TO MAKE FIREFOX WORK???
Discord notification Icon bugfix
For some time I missed the notification icon of discord. I mean the little number in the taskbar icon that appears, when you get a message.
Today I found a fix for it in the archwiki.
You need to have libunity version packaged for your distro installed. For me on debian it was libunity9. After installing it, you get the notification icon again!
As far as I skimmed the text they used bevy for their prototype not for the release or at least not as a whole.
Big released bevy games
Are there some big projects/games that are released and made in bevy?
A lot of times tiny glade is mentioned, but I can not find a reliable source from the devs that it is made in bevy.
Yeah. The idea of random stuff nesting into my pc where I will never find it again is also a big pain. That said using distroboy would make it much cleaner I guess.
Worth using distrobox?
I am thinking about using distrobox. Since I am on debian I wont need it to install software I could otherwise not install. But I have some apps that require weired install scripts and I am thinking about using it as a security measurement. Do you think that is a good idea? Does that idea makes sense?
Here it states that the hoster used is hetzner https://lemm.ee/post/45660045. That being said Hetzner is a german company, so I would expect it to be in the eu.
How to find project names?
I am currently searching for a name that I can use for a software project. Id like to have a short one that has no real meaning associated with it. I already asked some ai's. All names that I found sound terrible or have some meaning attached to it. . Like the name is already used for some medication or so.
How do you guys come up with names?
Iced (GUI Crate) is getting default animation support
Iced, a popular GUI Crate, used by system76 for their new DE, is getting default animation support in the development branch. The animations are based on the lilt crate. As far as I know the only missing part that needs to be done is, adding animations to the default widgets.
I assume in the next release it will be shipped with animation support.
I am so happy that this is coming and look forward to see animations in my gui applications.
Discord Update that enables Streaming on Wayland
A few weeks a go discord on linux had an update that enabled you to do screensharing on wayland even with audio.
There are a few bugs. For example, you can not change the window and sometimes have to reactivate the audio check box to have the audio work. Sadly the flatpak could not shit that update, because the chromium version shipped has to major bugs in flatpaks (issue).
But the stable .deb has now working screen sharing with audio. That is something that x11 does not have.
See post text preview on posts
On reddit I gert a preview of the text for each post. It enables me to read some of the content to see if it is worth reading the whole and comments.
Is there a way to get this on lemm.ee?
Edit: I found the little + icon to see the post content without opening the whole post. But I am still interested if I can get a 5 line Preview by default or so. On mobile I use Voyager, which provides this. But it would be cool to have that on desktop as well.
