  • I’ve just migrated most of my repos from Codeberg to Sourcehut (sr.ht) and I really like it. I’ve got nothing against Codeberg or Forgejo, they’re awesome, but I just really like the simple design of Sourcehut.

    The git send-email workflow was new to me, but I started liking it fast! I’ve never really enjoyed the web-based MR/PR workflow of GitHub anyway (read: it feels very slow).

    Sourcehuts CI system if also really nice overall, although there are some things I miss from the great CI that GitLab has. Mostly I miss only running pipelines when tags are pushed, and stuff like that.




  • I’ve been running my homelab on GMKTec something for around one and a half year now, with a bunch of HDD’s and an SSD connected via USB. The HDD enclosure is some cheap thing from Amazon, but I’ve never had a problem with it. Does the enclosure you’re trying to use have dedicated power? Or are you powering the SSD’s via the USB ports? That’s the only thing I can think of that would potentially be a problem.



  • Maybe because it’s not an obviously wanted feature? But I’m just guessing. You should request it and see what happens, maybe more people want it. I’ve never even thought about it, since in the case of Podman/docker it’s so “obvious” and easy to just mount network shares to the host first. And in the case of Kubernetes you can just mount NFS shares directly into pods.


  • Agreed, but not quite perfectly. I’ve been using Tumbleweed for years, but there are a few things to think about.

    Whereas I’ve very rarely experienced any problems, the package manager is slow compared to the likes of apt and dnf. The repos are large, but the mirrors haven’t always been the fastest for me.

    Also “community”. There are always people in OpenSUSE matrix/irc rooms etc, but they are a rather small bunch of people. OpenSUSE doesn’t have close to the community of, say, Ubuntu or Arch.



  • I definitely do not hate SELinux, I think it’s a great system. But my experience mostly (at home, anyway) comes from managing servers running Kubernetes clusters and, like, just using podman do deploy containers. In both these cases SELinux is a on “just works” basis, for the most part.

    Then in enterprise environment that doesn’t run everything on containers, you usually have a very standardized way of applying SELinux policies. At my last place of work we did it via a rather Ansible role. It was simple and easy.

    But I can imagine using SELinux at home, where you maybe don’t have these things, might be a rather “mysterious” experience. It’s not the most obvious system.

    But learning to write your own policies (even if just trough se2allow or whatever it’s called) does de-mystify SELinix pretty quick.


  • I found his autobiography in a second hand store many years ago and bought it for some reason. A sometimes very sad, but inspirational read. Was totally surprised by the fact that he spoke about his friends at the Haymarket massacre, and the fact that he was a close friend to Joe Hill, who he has a song about.

    Paul Robeson has been one of my favorite singers since then. What a beautiful voice and what an interesting person.


  • Why does it depend on how they were protesting? Why is violence relevant to a university degree in the first place?

    A degree should only be revoked in the case of cheating or other cases of gross scientific missconduct relating to said degree, no?

    For example, I think the unabomber was a terrible human being, but his crimes should be handled by the police. Not by the uneversites he worked for or got his degree from.

    This very much resembles some sort of social credit system.




  • If Fedora wants to promote FOSS then it would make sense to just have it’s users enable Flathub if they want to. Instead of outright promote a repository that promotes proprietary software.

    If you meant it as moral question, then then answer would probably be that proprietary software does’nt guarantee the same user freedoms as free software. And thus does’nt let users control the software that runs on their own computers.
