All good!

I still value GPL much higher than MIT, which is why I thought important for others to know, in case they have a preference too. But yeah, Meshcore is just not all open source and some people could also have a preference on that. 😄

That’s not what I did. Not all of Meshcore is FOSS. There are proprietary components. Therefore it’s not fully FOSS.

Been uasing ZFS with USB drives since 2019 or so. On Raspberry Pi 4, then on real computers. My laptop is on a single SSD. ZFS is the only reason I figured I have RAM issues two years ago. No errors would show up on a couple of passes of Memtest86+.

Keep Vista, get out to join the protest!

Snapshots aren’t backup. No question.

My display is working fine.

Fact, but since that’s common and cheap, and I’m not aware of an equivalent FOSS alternative, I’d go with Meshtastic, if were to dabble. And I dabble. :D

BTW, Meshcore is MIT and not fully FOSS, while Meshtastic is GPL and fully FOSS.

This reminds me to remind people to put their apps on snapshotting filesystems and activate autonatic, regular snapshots. Then you can always go back to a working version when something goes wrong. I use ZFS but I think Btrfs is also good for that.

Corporations refer to this as work-life balance.

Blasphemy!

Personal anecdote - a year ago I switched my Framework laptop from Ubuntu to Debian, on ZFS, and it’s been smooth sailing. The kernel is surprisingly new.

That’s captured in the tier list.

Do you want to live the boring stable life, where you can just build and build and build your personal poop castle on top of that solid OS for years and years? If yes, switch to Debian. You won’t be reinstalling till you get so bored that you get the urge to self-harm (by reinstalling). We can’t afford new hardware anyways, but even if we do, the same install will work on the new system with few tweaks. 😆

The initial setup is a bit more annoying than Pop/Mint/Ubuntu but not too much more. Upgrades are also a bit more annoying but not too much more. There’s good documentation for both of those procedures.

The e-commerce giant plans to cut a total of 30,000 corporate jobs, making up 10% of these roles, news agency Reuters reported, with the layoffs expected to impact Amazon Web Services, its retail sector, Prime Video media streaming service, and human resources departments.

The company had eliminated 14,000 white collar roles in October, on the heels of Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy stating that the firm needed to cut down on exorbitant bureaucracy, and it would do so by reducing its operational levels and number of managers.

Combine that with the fact that the top 10% of the US pop is responsible for 50% of consumer spending. These layoffs are hitting exactly that consumer spenders.

Keep driving towards a general strike. That’s the only thing that truly scares them as it will have dramatic downstream effects, likely power-altering.

If there was only something Apple workers could do to send a message to Tim Cook that he can’t ignore. If only there was a card they could sign, and together do an action, a … collective action of some sort…

True. Just the meme goes like that. But I should probably watch it again anyway. I think I saw it 10+ years ago.

It’s afraid

Bloody hell.
