I want my altavista back

Substack is Geocities for the Tumblr generation.

An SEO ghoul’s wet dream.

It was a while ago that I compared them so this may have changed, but one of the main differences that I saw was that borg had to backup over ssh, while restic had a storage backend for many different storage methods and APIs.

What about murdering and dismembering a journalist in a foreign country, is that immoral?

I’ve been using it for just over 6 months and it’s perfectly fine as a desktop distribution. I’m enjoying that it’s based on Debian Sid and I get a more up to date GNOME release than I would have with Ubuntu or Debian. The update process is a bit slow but you can just leave it downloading in the background and then reboot when it’s ready. If you know that you want an immutable desktop distro based on Debian then I would definitely recommend it.

If you’re using it for development then it’s a bit more complicated as you’ll need to get used to working in a distrobox container and understanding when it can and can’t access the host system or communicate with programs running on the host system.

If you have the time and basic understanding to be able to switch your dev workflow to run inside a container, or if your dev environment never needs to interact with the base system that you’re running it on, then it’s perfectly usable for dev work - just a bit of a learning curve.

Oh I remember this guy. Is he still a KDE developer?

Missing the most important spec for me: weight

If you follow the instructions for backup/restore of your profile that should work.

The touch screen in my 2013 laptop has been working fine since… 2013, running only Debian and Debian-derivatives.

Newsletters? Google killed RSS so we could have newsletters?

I hadn’t heard of FreeTube, thanks for the recommendation.

uBlock Origin + Firefox

Some similarities but the main difference in my eyes is that Linus doesn’t have a permanent victim complex.

Unsurprising. You don’t have to follow Hector Martin on social media for very long to learn that he’s a petulant, indignant, self-righteous drama queen.

No, I said, “I like the slacks you’re wearing.” They would go nicely with a red hat.
