TBH i used to alt-tab away from what ever non-work-related thing i was doing, to a terminal emulator when ever my boss walked in.
It was usually showing my latest package upgrade.

I think you mean Cole’s Law
Lots of people have already mentioned Ventoy.
MediCat is Ventoy with a ton of images and a config file. It seems great, although I chose to roll my own as MediCat had a lot of Windows-centric images i have no need for.

But not in a “fuck you world, I’ll do what I want” kinda way. More of a “I wanna watch it burn” kinda way.
Concerning you RAID, just make sure the installer doesn’t touch it and mount it afterwards. You might have to do some kind of “restore” to give the files the needed SELinux metadata. The Discourse forum would probably be a good place to ask.
Now, a bit about DNF vs RPM-OSTree. Fedora with DNF is the standard distro much like most other distros. Use this if the next part doesn’t sound useful to you.
RPM-OSTree is used in a new family of distro that work a bit like git for your OS.
Your system runs off an “atomic” image. Atomic means unsplittable in Greek. Everything you change on your system is applied to your atomic image, like a file is added or removed from a git repo.
This is nice because upgrading to the next major version becomes a simple matter of rebasing you changes on top of the new version, and likewise, rolling back (in case of issues) becomes a single command and a reboot.
Fedora IoT is the “Server” edition of the Atomic desktops. Fedora CoreOS is a more “immutable” approach.
Feel free to ask more questions if something doesn’t make sense.
Yes it is (sadly) very different for phones.
When an the OS for an Android phone is created, the Linux kernel is forked, and the firmware/drivers for it’s hardware components are laid on top (instead of being upstreamed to the kernel). When the manufacturer decides they no longer care about that phone, they stop updating firmware and that will no longer receive updates. You might use a rom that still updates everything else, but these critical parts won’t get updated anymore.
The newer Pixel generations get 5-7 years of security updates (IIRC). I believe IOS devices get 5 years.
Android and arm has (/had? I might be partly out of date) a lot of out of tree (not included in the upstream Linux kernel) code which makes booting it on Linux a shit show.
This is also why so few devices are supported by the Linux-phone-OSs.
Oh how sweet is the irony of the bigots in this thread, who thinks the tag is there to “free” from them from seeing gay people holding hands and kissing, when it’s actually there because bigots have outlawed being gay some places.
By “heavily homosexual”, do you mean pornographic? Because that’s a separate tag.
Edit: typo.
That argument is obviously wrong.
Homosexuality (and other sexualities) exist in nature. This is not uncommon knowledge.
Also, the whole “they don’t make babies so they’re unnatural” thing. How long have you thought this argument through?
Humans and animals are born sterile, they grow too old and become infertile. All of that happens in nature.
That fantasy world of yours is verifiably not how nature works, and it wouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes to disprove the bullsh*t.
It makes it hard to believe you are arguing in good faith.
Thanks for the recommendation, stranger. I’m gonna watch that!
My favorite movie is probably Brazil (1985). It’s a dystopian movie, but the population is suppressed by absurd amounts a bureaucracy (also the state surveiling and killing it’s people). You need to fill out a form to fill out a form, and every screen is tiny, but magnified by a lens to be small instead.
But what I really love about it is the the “terrorist” Archibald Tuttle (who, very much, is not the protagonist); a repair man, who risks execution by the state, zip lining around the city fixing things like the protagonist’s air condition.
I think we should all strive to be more like Tuttle in our daily lives.
Same for me. You can bypass it if you read in a “private browsing” window.
No problem!
I hacked this together instead of going to sleep, so it might make your deck explode, but maybe it’s a starting point for you or someone else:
# home-deck-mounts.mount
#
# Mount units must be named after the destination path, this / replaced by -, like above
#
# This is a template unit.
# That's explained here: https://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-template-unit-files/
# TL;DR: run it like this `netmount@linuxisos.mount` if you want to mount the subdirectory "linuxisos" from SHARE_PATH
[Unit]
Description=NetMount %I
After=graphical.target
# This is commented out, because it is implicit for network mounts https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.mount.html#Default%20Dependencies
# I keep it here as an example
#After=network-online.target
#Requires=network-online.target
[Mount]
# %i expands to what ever you put after the @ when starting/activating the service
What=10.10.10.99:/mnt/user/%i
Where=/home/deck/mounts/%i
Type=nfs
Options=exec
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
I couldn’t confirm if mount units are allowed to be template units, but if not, just duplicate the service for each path and replace %i.
Say the word if you run into issues!
Don’t put yourself down! Using systemd wouldn’t make it work “better”, it’s just more “proper” (and a great tool to know in general!)
Great job and keep going!
This is really cool!
Where did you put the service file?
I don’t mean this as critique, but as possible next project, since your solution works perfectly fine. Systemd has some cool features that could make this project have a bit fewer moving parts:
That way you would end up with a .mount file per mounted directory, with logging using journald, and no external scripts.
I really like systemd as it can be a great tool, when you start to break down the complexity of it.
I hope you get well soon and get the best you can from this time.
Nextcloud doesn’t verify your email and has tons of other nice features as well. ProtonDrive (/ProtonMail as another user suggested) probably doesn’t or you could use your Proton address for that.
You mention allowing weak passwords are a plus. Please use a weak password, especially without email as 2nd factor.
Have you considered using mnemonics for your passphrase?
Generate a number (i would use around 5) of random words (EFF has a wordlist, humans are really bad at randomness) and link them together using silly images. For example:
First, you link sparrow to window: imagine a sparrow trying to break through a window, not just flying into it by accident, no, this sparrow is mad and is set to destroy it.
Second, you link window to automobile: imagine an automobile with huge windows. The car is completely normal sized except every window is at least 3 meters tall. It looks absolutely ridiculous and you feel embrassed that youvhave to drive it everywhere.
Repeat this proces for the rest of the words. It helps remembering them if the image makes you feel something, like making you chuckle or feel angry that you have to deal with this stupid contraption (only in your mind, hopefully)
Also, make sure each “link” is distinct. Eg. Don’t make the second link an automobile driving into a window when the sparrow does the same. It will mess up the order and make you jump around between similar mental images.
I only tried running rootless when i set them up several years ago and i was completely green, so it was probably me who was the problem.
Regarding podman-compose, Fedora repos has a a package that aliases podman -> docker and the regular docker-compose package, which i used before migrating to podman+systemd. It worked flawlessly unless i did networking shenanigans because Podman and Docker differs (/differed?) in so some thing simply couldn’t be brought over.
Edit: i found the docker-compose and Podman alias thingies in a Fedora Magazine post.
However, unless you use docker-compose a lot for other stuff, learning to use Podmans systemd integration (also called quadlet) is very much worth it. They’re just a really powerful combo and systemd has a ton of nice features for making stuff run and keep running.
Podman is CLI and API compatible with Docker (except where differences in implementation doesn’t allow it)
Running Podman as root is 99.9% the same as running Docker.
I have been running my homelab with Podman for several years and it is absolutely mature enough for a regular user.
Also, the docs are really good.
Oh, i did not know. Thanks!
It uses the Xen hypervisor, not qemu/KVM. Technically it is a Xen kernel virtualizing Linux since it is a type 1 hypervisor.
