because of its social contract, its free software guidelines, and the community around it

use linux/bsd

 

This is about a month old, but this distro is now released. It's a completely independent distro from China.

Yeah I did some light running, and I just had more energy and felt lighter. My endurance is probably still awful, but I just generally feel better having made some lifestyle changes

I should be lifting, but I am losing a lot of weight that I needed to, so I'm getting healthier everyday

I like it, for the most part. Obviously you need to check to see if your hardware is supported, but it's a good OS. It's stable, has neat features like boot environments, and it with pkg and the ports tree you can have newer versions of software. Also, they don't make changes to the OS for the sake of it, or because one person or group wants it. They make change with a clear plan in my mind. Sometimes that means features land later in FreeBSD, but they're implemented more thoughtfully imo.

OpenBSD and NetBSD are also cool projects in their own right.

I'm on the second season of The Bear. It's not bad, but not as good as the first season.

Rewatch old simpsons whenever I'm not sure what to watch or just need to kill time.

I might watch the new Justified series, because I watch cop dramas for reasons I don't understand.

thanks for reminding me about the tri continental

since you're used to debian, maybe try something that isn't debian based.

PCLinuxOS

Mageia

Slackware

OpenSuse

Free/open/netbsd

that's what I was thinking of....I knew they had used someone elses VPN just couldn't remember which one

Maybe this is better asked elsewhere, but question basically in the title. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Mozilla VPN, and if so what they thought about it.

 

I see it on the join lemmy page, but the github readme doesn't really explain how to use it

 

I started using Jeboa about a day and a half ago, no problem. It defaulted to lemmy.ml rather than lemmygrad.ml. No problem as I was browsing anon just to see how I liked the app.

Now, when I open the app, nothing is loaded, and changing from local to all still loads nothing.

Is this a problem with lemmy.ml? How can I change instances.

 

Chimera is an interesting new Linux distro with no systemd, BSD utils instead of gnu, and other unique design choices.

Reading about it on lobste.rs, the developer (or one of them) commented:

"

why does every other linux distribution exist? most of them provide far less added value compared to the others, yet nobody questions their existence, perhaps because they are fundamentally uninteresting

it’s always a combination of many smaller factors

i just wanted to make a well-rounded and somewhat opinionated system without cruft or sketchy parts, but still featureful and generally usable (no suckless junk), with a low-maintenance but high-correctness package build system and infrastructure, no systemd but taking service management and everything around it seriously (there are exactly 0 other non-systemd distros that do that), easy to bootstrap, architecture-agnostic, and hardened (as much as possible without introducing visible breakage or significant performance loss; the only “linux distro” that really takes this seriously is android, and that’s not general-purpose)

none of the individual choices like userland base or libc or whatever are goals in themselves, they are a means to an end or just the most obvious thing given the circumstances"

 

I use lemmy and reddit. Reddit can be awful for politics, but it has lots of little niche subs that make using it worthwhile for me. But since reddit is about to die, and I only use lemmy on desktop, I was wondering what android users think is the best lemmy app?

 

I don't have telegram, but I have been able to view his/their telegram page since the conflict started. Recently I can't at all. Has anyone else experienced this or can offer insight as to why this happened?

 

Interested in hearing everyone's experience using alternative phone OS's. Have you ever used Lineage or Graphene, Pursim, pinephone? Was it good enough to replace your android/iphone?
