At the same time, Red Hat released the first version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1. The Army deployed Red Hat’s operating system in its Blue Force Tracker system, which lived in jeeps and tanks on the battlefield. Major General Nicholas Justice, the man responsible for Blue Force Tracker, said later:
“When we rolled into Baghdad, we did it using open source.”1
To this day, the U.S. Army remains one of Red Hat’s largest customers by volume. Red Hat was recently made part of the Army’s Common Operating Environment, which is their enterprise standard.
Apart from dd you can also go for Clonezilla or Rescuezilla. Both not super user friendly but once you get familiar with it makes backups and restore easy and fast for data and boot-loader.
👏 Fireworks! 🎆
183·1 year agoIs MS Teams the only viable alternative ?
4·1 year agoShould I commit to Debian, Fedora, or OpenSuse and learn to sandbox and harden properly (if so which has best docs and community)?
I’m not a big fan of openSUSE but, from what I’ve read, from the three names I would regard them best when it comes to security. Also in a comment on Lemmy I read that openSUSE’s zypper package manager is really good, it can handle rpm and flatpak and more.
To me it seems that Bazzite is focusing on gaming. You mentioned distrobox. I thought that Fedora focused on Toolbox. I’ve tried both Toolbox and Distrobox in the past and I remember that one of them came with a warning. Yes, I’ve looked it up : https://distrobox.it/
Security implications
Isolation and sandboxing is not the main aim of the project, on the contrary it aims to tightly integrate the container with the host. The container will have complete access to your home, pen drives and so on, so do not expect it to be highly sandboxed like a plain docker/podman container or a flatpak.
Yes, lemmy.world is the exception of the top ones.
Gnome is great, and I commend the devs for having the bollocks to come out and say “No, we don’t think Microsoft perfected OS UX in the early 90s”, and do something different that works well, despite knowing the amount of hatred and even death threats they’d get for the change.
Good to read your take on that bit of history, thanks. On one computer where I have GNOME, it is really nice and comfortable for what I use it for.
I understand that many people love Gnome today, but Gnome almost caused me to switch away from Linux because of all the problems they caused.
For all the people upset about the GNOME 2 to GNOME 3 change the MATE desktop environment was started (Launched in Debian in 2013) and it is still alive and kicking :

Update 2024-04-27: It was suggested in the Discourse thread that I clarify the interaction between the break-even budget and the 1M EUR committed by the STF project. This money is received in the form of a contract for services rather than a grant to the Foundation, and must be spent on the development areas agreed during the planning and application process. It’s included within this year’s budget (October 23 – September 24) and is all expected to be spent during this fiscal year, so it doesn’t have an impact on the Foundation’s reserves position. The Foundation retains a small % fee to support its costs in connection with the project, including the new requirement to have our accounts externally audited at the end of the financial year. We are putting this money towards recruitment of an administrative assistant to improve financial and other operational support for the Foundation and community, including the STF project and future development initiatives.

5·1 year agoI hope you too learned alot :) but if I may, I would switch from AdguardHome to Pi-hole.

If you only access your local domain name inside your LAN and via VPN you can also use Caddy to have local SSL certificates https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#local-https Have not tried this myself yet but I like the idea of not getting any warnings in browser, and this is safe as long as the Caddy CA root certificate is safe.
Yunohost is doing the installation and finishing with having a XMPP and email server, and from there you can install apps on top of that. You can play with Yunohost inside a container if you wanted to but you will have to prepare the proxy in front of it. If you want to try Yunohost the easiest way, rent a VPS for it.
That’s inspiring, thanks.
This new “ruling CEO” class is bloody dangerous.
Definitely!
Yeah, I like to read Hacker news from time to time. Since reading this article I will surely remember that friendship.
Cloudron is kind of a freemium product. They offer a few apps (two ?) for free to use. For more apps you need to pay. Their back-end does have a view-source-but-no-edit “open source” license last time I checked. Bu if you want to keep things easy, go for it.
Haven’t used this services but I keep seeing other people talking about it. From their FAQ : https://jmp.chat/faq
The easiest way is to make a call from your Jabber app, if you are using a supporting app such as Cheogram Android, Conversations, Snikket, or Movim. Simply add a contact just as you would for messaging and then select the voice call option in your app.
