Debian has thousands of packages in the official repo, so it is possible to download 5 blu-ray discs then merge the ISOs into a single ~90gb ISO containing all apps. From there, that disk can be used to install apps at any moment without Internet access.

Then when Debian moves to a new release, it’s possible to go to a public library and fetch only apps that changed because jigdo can use the previous disk to build the new ISOs.

Apparently Ubuntu and Fedora both also have the same jigdo capability. Is that all? Are there any other distros that:

1. have a good number of officially supported apps, and
2. have a download manager that can build a full release using the previous release

?

I am assuming jigdo is the only game in town, and that without a *.jigdo file we can only fetch whole new set of images when a new version is released. Correct?

We’re happy to announce that BusKill can be installed on Linux directly with apt

What is BusKill?

BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It's a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer.

Watch the BusKill Explainer Video for more info youtube.com/v/qPwyoD_cQR4

If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys -- thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device.

TL;DR: As Mozilla moves to make Firefox an AI browser, people are looking at other options. Some people are rediscovering Waterfox, a browser that has been around for a decade from independent developer BrowserWorks. In this post, I interview the founder of Waterfox - Alex Kontos, and we discuss Waterfox’s history and look towards its future. We also talk about how Waterfox thinks about AI in the browser.

TL;DR: The big tech AI company LLMs have gobbled up all of our data, but the damage they have done to open source and free culture communities are particularly insidious. By taking advantage of those who share freely, they destroy the bargain that made free software spread like wildfire.

Can someone please explain what this is ?

What could be the best way to introduce the world of computers to a kid, let's say of 6 years old, so that he learns to handle it like a toy and stops dreading it like some esoteric, arcane and recondite machine from some eldritch, enigmatic, cryptic and phantasmal world ?

Ideally speaking, if I build up my own system right from the scratch, then l ought to be in control of the root, isn't that correct ??🤓🤓🤓

TL;DR: Mozilla is now enforcing data collection as a pre-requisite to access new features in Firefox Labs. This is backed by the Terms of Use that Mozilla introduced a few months ago.

Five years later, Wayland remains an excessively focused project for a modern display server. Wayland remains a fad, and many open-source applications remain unoptimized for Wayland.

The general procedures have not changed much since this post in 2018.

Yes, even buildings can be developed for interoperability with open source!

We've tried ~4 web-interface KVM's, and they are all terrible. The interfaces are all buggy and slow. Frequent disconnects, constantly require reboots, etc.

Has anyone used KVM's that are worthwhile?
