Donald Trump you mean ? I thought he had orange hair ? /j

Probably Right-to-left script like with Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.

Second time today I see a post on Lemmy pointing to Reddit, and not even old Reddit :(

Indeed :(

‘I am a Zionist’: How Joe Biden’s lifelong bond with Israel shapes war policy

Good that you are raising the outrage fatigue. At the same time I’d like to highlight that you are asking your question in the Fediverse which is probably a Western dominant world and it also depends who you are talking to in real life. The west has seen the Covid-19 pandemic which was, I’m sure, a shocker to a lot of people (though not everyone will admit that), and I am sure that the huge popularity of smart phone scrolling has made people change their attitude more indifferent. There is surely more to this like the invasion in Ukraine and the resulting inflation, and more “flex” work in many countries. Have a look at this image, which also shows why people have less time to care about more than their own problems : https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/112/433/665/876/256/493/original/b858379a791385c9.jpg (Image posted in a post by a Unconditional Universal #BasicIncome (UBI) advocate) tl;dr Governments and companies and the super rich will keep people with lower income busy worrying about their own problems.

Very very cool! yay!

In some open source projects there is a lot of leeching and little contributions.

In 2020 the sole developer of Invidious stepped away from development because of burn out. https://omar.yt/posts/stepping-away-from-open-source

Also in 2020 developer Raymond Hill archived the uMatrix browser add-on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24532973

I will never hand over development to whoever, I had my lesson in the past – I wouldn’t like that someone would turn the project into something I never intended it to become (monetization, feature bloat, etc.). At most I would archive the project and whoever is free to fork under a new name. For now I resisted doing this, so people will have to be patient for new stable release.

What would actually help is that people help to completely investigate existing issues instead of keep asking me to add yet more features. Turns out people willing to step in the code to investigate and pinpoint exactly where is an issue (or that there is no issue) is incredibly rare.

There was a comment on Mastodon or Lemmy saying that the bad actor had been working with the project for two years so earlier versions may have malicious code as well already.

Well, you know. There is more than one tldr project. Debian repositories offer the Haskell and Python based tldr ones. But, yeah, it is awesome. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tldr

Is this where the source code is supposed to be ? https://github.com/ProtonMail/inbox-desktop

My guess is that a 2015 Macbook Air is probably not going to run a MacOS version that is still supported by Apple. That would be yet another reason to simply install Linux. Before you do so you can go for https://rescuezilla.com/ and do disk cloning to an image that you save to some storage like a USB disk. If you do the same after your installing and tweaked Linux installation, you can have the best of both worlds whenever you need it.

Depends a bit on what you’d like to achieve. I’d say play around with YunoHost on a VPS to get started and learn more. With YunoHost you will get XMPP and email server after installation, and then you can start installing other YunoHost apps.

Looks like a nice project if you manage to run your own gateway. People have been posting about this one on Lemmy before https://lemmy.ml/comment/376398 and maybe the software code author is on Lemmy as well : https://lemmy.ml/post/2045121

Great story Ray. Thumbs up.

Just a few things come to mind :

• Lobbyists stopping sugar taxes.
• Big Pharma and health industry making tons of money.
• European Union being very tolerant about pesticides.
• Supermarkets putting candy close the counters where parents with kids are in queue.
• Lots of people spending most of their time on mobile phones only exercising the muscles of their eyes.

I am happy that an organisation like Foodwatch exists : https://www.foodwatch.org/en/foodwatch-international

Nice that you are using FSearch :) I would put more excludes in it when you really want to index / In fact, apart from /home I would not index anything else than /etc /usr/share/doc and maybe /var/run/media or /media (depending on which Linux distribution you are using, for example Arch Linux will use /var/run/media and Ubuntu will use /media for removable devices).

Pacstall is for Ubuntu. I am not sure it can work well for Debian. Yes, sure, it is possible that some Ubuntu users see value in having AUR alike repositories to install from. Actually PPA for Ubuntu (PPA does not work well on Debian I’ve read) is kind of like AUR. The Personal Package Archives are uploaded by someone and provide newer versions of software, or provides software which is not in the main Ubuntu repositories. A good example of that is the PHP packages from Sury : https://deb.sury.org/

So the thing with Debian and any Debian based distro like Ubuntu or Linux Mint is there is no big centralized software repo like the AUR.

There is https://pacstall.dev/ the AUR for Ubuntu. It has a Lemmy community https://lemmy.ml/c/pacstall And there is PPA for Ubuntu. With the Arch AUR anyone can just upload something, and it is up to you to check whether it is uploaded malware or not. Sure, you can check how many others upvoted an AUR package but that is still no guarantee it is safe.

If you like the idea of Qubes OS and Tails, maybe Whonix has something similar to offer : https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Features

For the OP : By careful with rsync. A trailing slash in a path name of a rsync command can make a huge difference with rsync. rsync is a fantastic tool for local and remote copying but mind your steps :)

Here, as root, I would prefer option 2 to be sure to not mess up permissions :

1 rsync -av /home/user/ /home2

2 rsync -av /home/user/ /home2/
