  • Nix Package Tool Approved For Availability In Fedora 44

    Jump

  • That's awesome :) I hope they'll ship a more up-to-date nix than Ubuntu. The nix-bin deb package in the Ubuntu is so old it's better to install nix from the official installer or Determine Systems installer

  • Just installed Linux mint on my moms desktop

    Jump

  • I think Mint does this out of the box, but check if Timeshift is set up for automatic backups. It's meant for system-level snapshots (basically everything outside the HOME-folder), so you can easily revert if an update or something breaks the system.

    Also consider some form of periodic external backup of her files and documents in the home folder, to protect against hardware failure.

  • Mastodon CEO steps down with €1M payout and a deep sigh

  • While a blow to the Fediverse community, Rochko's decision is understandable.

    This looks more like healthy sustainable growth than "a blow" . Reducing the risk of burnout of the project lead, and transferring ownership of trademarks from an individual to a non-profit are good things for the long term

  • Probably a dumb question, but: do I need to do anything to my media drive when swapping from Windows?

    Jump

  • Oh good point, these are modern times, exFAT is a thing now.

    I remember years ago having issues that Ubuntu could mount exFAT, so avoided it ever since. But that was many years ago, with an old kernel.

  • Word of warning on "Safe removal" of external harddrives: You really want to click "Eject" or "Safe removal" every time before unplugging. This is much more important than on Windows, due to the way Linux handles buffers and caching. A copy operation will be "finished" but still live in the write-cache and not securely written to disk.

    NTFS is no problem (But as mentioned earlier in the thread the permission system is different). I usually format all my external devices with NTFS so they'll work on both Linux and Windows machines without any fuss.

  • EU confirms it wants UK to pay into its budget in exchange for closer ties

  • Sounds a lot like EEA (Iceland Norway Lichtenstein)

  • What's the other game reference?

  • Chat Control 2.0 has passed the first round of approval

    Jump

  • It's not, unless you know the keys.

    Keys are created by the software/app made by the service provider, like WhatsApp / Meta or Google. How is the key created, and is a copy sent back to WhatsApp? "Securely" and "No" they claim, and you just have to trust them.That can change if WhatsApp need to comply with new laws.

    Signal is a bit different because of the app is fully open source, so the code can be audited to verify the integrity of the encryption. They would still need to comply with laws or exit that market, but whatever they do would be 100% transparent.

  • Yes now you can. But not initially. The old cube effect was removed and later re-implement

  • Proxmox Backup Server: Bare Metal vs. Privileged LXC vs. VM?

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing! TIL about autofs. Now I'm curious to try NFS again.

    What's the failure mode if the NFS happens to be offline when PBS initiates a backup? Does PNS try to backup anyway? What if the NFS is offline while PBS boots?

    EDIT: What was the reason for bind mounting the NFS share via the host to the container, and NFS mounting from NAS to host?I did the NFS-mount directly in the PBS. (But I am running my PBS as a VM, so had to do it that way)

  • Proxmox Backup Server: Bare Metal vs. Privileged LXC vs. VM?

    Jump

  • I run PBS as a virtual machine on Proxmox, with a dedicated physical harddrive passed through to PBS for the data.

    While this protects from software failures of my VMs, it does not protect from catastrophic hardware failure. In theory I should be able to take the dedicated harddrive out and put it in any other system running a fresh PBS, but I have not tested this.

    I tried running the same PBS with an external NFS share, but had speed and stability issue, mainly due to the hardware of the NFS host. And I wasn't aware of autofs at the time, so the NFS share stayed disconnected

  • SuSE is one of the two major enterprise Linux distributions, with RedHat being the other. I would assume servers make up the bulk of their business, but they provide desktops too.

    RedHat is probably better known to most end-users, due to their Fedora community distribution, and their heavy involvement in Gnome.

    SuSE's community distribution is openSUSEEDIT: Fittingly, the very top of their website says "Make your old Windows 10 PC fast and secure again!" and links to https://endof10.org/
