I actually have really fond memories of Sabayon, the community was really nice. It also served as a good gateway into Gentoo by giving you a pre-configured usable system, including its binary package manager, but also gentoo’s emerge (not that you should use both at the same time).

Yep, I’m in Sweden, 30 and both know how to and do drive a manual car.

My last phone I kept for about 5 years. I had two issues:

• software support had ended
• the battery was severely degraded

fortunately there was a local shop who’d replace the battery (it wasn’t a fairphone so I couldn’t do it myself). If it wasn’t for the software support I’d have gone that route and would be still using it now. It worked perfectly well for my use case. Unfortunately, I ended up retiring the phone and getting a new one.

I live in Sweden. Yeah, the tap water is clean and can be drank straight from the tap without boiling, filtering, or treatment in the whole country.

I use SMS and Matrix. I’d love to see something like Briar become more popular, or maybe XMPP make a resurgence as it’s been a great federated chat protocol for a long while.

Just looked it up since I was sure I had read they had their own. On their wikipedia article it says:

In its early days on the Internet, the Qwant search engine relied on Bing to provide more relevant results. In 2016, Qwant claimed to be increasingly using its own results from its own exploration robots. It is still at the status of hybrid engine.[89] In 2020, Qwant claimed to have exceeded 50% of independent results for web searches, and 70% for all researchs

so I guess it’s both bing and their own thing.

Agreed, it feels like it’s a strong signal they don’t take privacy seriously.

I think Qwant does too, right?

Does anyone have more information about this? I took a look but there doesn’t seem to be much info in the readmes

I don’t use them myself as they don’t support the TLD I need, but I have heard good things about porkbun

I am still hopeful Linux is the future of mobile devices. I really dislike that on android 5 years of feature updates is really good and only the best phones can strive for this, where as a 10 year old laptop or desktop computer can usually run Linux without any problems and expect both security and feature updates as long as you want. Not even mentioning the limited choice in software that works in an android environment.

I currently use Sailfish which isn’t what most people mean by mobile linux and does have a lot of problems, but hopefully my sailfish device I have now will see me through until mobile linux is at the point I feel like I can move across.

I asked in the nixOS community a few days ago, but since you mentioned you run nixOS on servers too, what’s been your experience of nixOS on a server?

It’s not so much of an analogy, email actually is a federated technology just like ActivityPub is and ActivityPub works a lot like email and has audience targeting fields which map onto the same audience targeting fields that email has (to, cc, etc.) these activities aren’t always publicly available, although they can be and they are delivered to another users inbox (although if public they can be read from a user’s outbox).

Wow, I am surprised they would go this far if I’m honest. Are they actively trying to piss off literally everyone?

I have all the languages available to select selected, but swedish unfortunately isn’t one of them

How come you went back to tumbleweed?

I haven’t really, I’ve always been a bit scared off by the alpha warning on kalpa

Another normal amount of old checking in

I’m a opensuse tumbleweed user on my desktop and laptop. I also have an ubuntu home server.

I really like tumbleweed, but I have been thinking of switching to an immutable distro like guix or nix. I’ve tried guix several times and found it pretty good, but never stick with it due to its lack of KDE plasma support. Maybe I should give nix a try.
