Debian proper. You’ll have issues with any stylus on Linux. Not to say it won’t work but may need more effort to get working.

Good efforts. It’ll be interesting to see if it comes to fruition and how effective it can be. Mozilla often shutters projects due to funding constraints or lack of adoption as well as had recent cuts to its internet advocacy staff.

Yep. And you could even be ‘extra’ and do cool effects with compiz et all. Fancy got noticed by others.

Old school here, I use mutt. :P on android I use FairEmail and really like it.

based on the political views of the people who create it

That is not the reason for the Beehaw switching to another platform, but here’s a few of the true reasons why.

The current aim of Sublinks is Lemmy parity for V1 release. So yes, I do see Beehaw still federating with Lemmy instances at the on-set.

Pong. @mox@lemmy.sdf.org , in sublinks, the federation services are entirely separate from the API of the instance. So much separate, the federation services are written in a programming language called Golang. The API service is written in a programming language called Java.

One aspect does not require or preclude the other with Sublinks.

The older, but not the oldest one… Gen-X.

it can’t really be that bad.

LoL; you say that… But

Amazing list, thanks for sharing.

Seconded. Weechat and Gomuks for matrix chat.

An OS can be restored. Backup your data, so /home for sure and maybe any custom configs for /etc, like your wireguard configs. So anything you specifically edited/added for /etc directory.

Btop is pretty. Htop tells me what I want to know. I prefer htop and it’s my goto.

Nothing that can stream directly to YouTube that I know of. But a good free solution for personal low usage is whereby.

All I’m saying is that aur has more stuff.

Sure, but that does not equate to the premise you made that Arch is easier to use than Debian.

Well it is a hypervisor like ESXI, so same concept. Running one vm would be simple, but yes; overkill. It is not the same level of virtualzation that Virtualbox is. For that, you could look into using Virt-manager if using a Linux based host.

Proxmox will do 90% of everything you need, coming from VMWare/EsXi. It can import and read your existing vmdks.

There’s a lot more going on with restic aside from just that, but yes. So with an rsync of your home dir (for example), it’s reliant on the FS to do compression and deduplication (ZFS,btrs), and/or it will still take up a lot of wasted space. Say you got ransom-wared. It’s okay you have that rsync backup, but oh crap it got ransom-wared to. No more backups to try? Restic gives you snapshots for whatever increment you set and just handles it simply. You can then restore one file from any of the snaphots (history) or every single file. Restoreing 250kb vs 400TB is quite a difference. The benefits of this, are huge even beyond the fire and forget capability.

I mean, rsync handling everything via mirroring and pushed to a ZFS FS, would be sort of the same thing.

Because that serve different purposes. rsync is for moving data around, synchronization of such. It has no concept of point in time restoration, or snapshots (etc) that really define a backup solution. I use restic because its the proper tool for the job.

Clonezilla has its place, but not as a main backup and restoration tool. I personally don’t see it as a backup tool, especially that it operates at partition level for such. What you want is you base install system and file level backups for your data (/home/) etc. For the file level backups, use something like restic. Backup what you need to go from a fresh install to a system with your data back on it. Packages can be reinstalled.

Restic is my primary backup for all my devices. If I need something more than fresh iso -> my data system, I use packer.
