Bad bot, that’s not a Lemmy link just happens to contain β€œ/c/β€œ

Can you run an rpm-ostree status and paste the results here?

Might also be good to post in ask fedora if you haven’t already.

The people who maintain silverblue are often there to help out.

Yeah and I have thousands of hours in League of Legends, but have probably enjoyed only about 10 minutes

Higher property taxes for multi-home or corporate owners, higher corporate taxes, break up the oligopolies, etc.

I feel like a broken telephone. But if we say it enough maybe it will actually happen.

[–] SymbolicLink@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Agreed! Been here for a week and am way more active with likes, comments, etc. here.

Feel way less "gross" spending some time on here vs. Reddit, Twitter, etc.

Yeah same in my apartment. Bins are filled with incorrect items, and clearly dirty. I bring all my organized and clean recycling but know deep down its just going to a landfill or be burned.

On top of that, the bin categories are weird and it's really confusing. IE there is a bin that says "Bottles and Cans", and another that says "Paper and Cardboard". What about other plastics?

People will do whatever is easiest, even if they are decent people. We need better policies and systems to ~~force~~ incentivize people to follow the rules.

Edit: typos

Yeah honestly can they open up more "Beer Store"-style recycling drop offs? That way they could not process the useless/dirty stuff and keep the good stuff?

Maybe give out like 1 cent per X grams of plastic to incentivize people?

That or we can go full Taiwan and basically force people/companies to do things properly.

In a way, but chroot only isolates file systems (process only has access to an isolated "root" which isn't the actual host's root). Rootless Podman/Docker goes a few steps beyond and utilizes cgroups, and user namespaces to isolate not only file systems, but also processes and networking.

Here is a high level overview.

And another one from Dan Walsh.

From a user perspective, Distrobox is a tool that lets you "spin up any distro inside your terminal".

You can basically create a mini Linux environment of any distro that you can access through the terminal. You can set it to share your home folder, our create a new home folder just for that mini environment.

Behind the scenes Distrobox is creating and managing containers through Podman or Docker. You could technically achieve the same thing by manually setting up Podman containers, Distrobox just makes it very easy to create and maintain those containers with the correct permissions. It also has useful tools where you could install an app in a Distrobox container, but then add that app to your host OS app list.

This makes it especially useful for immutable OSs. Instead of adding packages to your base OS, which should be kept as minimal as possible, you can just install them in a Distrobox, so your host's root filesystem is unaffected.

Silverblue + ZFS would be a match made in heaven, unfortunately Fedora makes it really hard to do ZFS reliably, too many kernel updates that break ZFS. This would be an even bigger nightmare on Silverblue given the distribution model.

If only ZFS was part of the Linux kernel πŸ˜‘. maybe one day

From my limited understanding and Wikipedia-ing I can tell a tale:


Back in the olden times (before the 1980s), some lawyers were soooo special, good, and smart, that the big boss (government) would give them ⭐ Gold Stars ⭐ (King's Counsel designation) so that they could tell everyone far and wide that they were special, good, and smart. So good that the πŸ‘‘ King or Queen πŸ‘‘ would trust them.

Mr. Dougie in 2023 thought "Oh, that's fun! Let me do that again and give out gold stars to some great lawyers!". To figure out who the best, smartest lawyers were, it would be good to talk to some other smart lawyers, maybe some big boss judges, or the lowly / peasant community.

But instead of doing that, Mr. Dougie and his buddies released a list of lawyers who were going to get gold stars on a website. Some of the lawyers in the list were good friends with Mr. Dougie or people Mr. Dougie knew.

Reporters who care about what the big boss (government) does were confused and asked Mr. Dougie, "Hey, we noticed that you gave out some gold stars - and some of those people are your friends! Do they really deserve these gold stars? How did you figure out who was going to get these super special stars? πŸ€” Also, why are you giving out gold stars to laywers anyway? No one else gets gold stars 😑".

Mr. Dougie replied, "Ooooops πŸ€ͺ. Next time we give out gold stars I'll definitely explain to everyone how we give out these stars. But trust me this list is 100% amazing and these people are the smartest, best lawyers in all of Ontarioland. That's a Dougie Guarantee ℒ️ "

...

And that is the end of another chapter in "Mr. Dougie and the Quest to Trample our Democracy"


Sorry if that was patronizing LMAO was just bored and have too much time on my hands. If anyone knows more about this and any broader implications I would love to know tbh.
