overview for otto

Git is the industry standard for software development, but I thasn’t been fully adopted in Debian packaging yet. Debian development is still based on uploading tarballs via FTP.

I believe that git-based workflows could enhance collaboration, transparency, and productivity for one of the world’s most vital open source projects. Increasing the use of salsa.debian.org, Debian's GitLab instance, would be a good step towards collaborative git usage.

Could the XZ backdoor have been detected with better Git and Debian packaging practices? in c/debian@lemmy.ml

[–] otto@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

There was a bunch of luck involved that Andres Freund detected this. Give more time, it would have ended up in stable releases eventually if not detected.

How did the changes in the binary test files tests/files/bad-3-corrupt_lzma2.xz and tests/files/good-large_compressed.lzma, and the makefile change in m4/build-to-host.m4) manifest to the Debian maintainer? Was there a chance of noticing something odd?

Fireship’s latest vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers in c/linux@programming.dev

[–] otto@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. I don't use Omarchy, but I think it is good someone did a polished distro for a specific use case, and some web dev Windows users will surely find it more appealing than a generic distro where they need to figure out a lot of stuff from scratch.

Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don't use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

Which open alternative apps list is the best? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] otto@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

To me it is hard to find the best apps in their directory as they don't have a good ranking system. The other sites that rank by GitHub stars do a pretty good job of surfacing what are the truly most popular and successful apps.
