haha, word

I think this is a step in the right direction. Everyone can lose a portable device or it can get stolen, so protecting the potentially sensitive data is important.

I think what people are complaining about is not full-disk encryption itself, but the fact that people are not used to being responsible for their cryptographic keys.

I think we should educate people regarding this responsibility. We did it with regular keys we use to unlock our homes.

No radio expert here, but would’nt this at some point interfere with the transmissions if deployed at a large scale?

Does not answer your question, and someone already mentioned it in a thread, but don’t forget zram when only 4GBs are available.

I went to a small (~30 people) festival dedicated to wood carving, because I was asked if a wanted to cook for everyone. Found it very inspiring to get an impression of that very specific sub culture.

A little overconfident as usual imo

Swiss lemming here. Switzerland already open-sourced multiple projects before, most notably the app to store your COVID test / vaccination status in. It was even officially available on F-Droid. I was very suprised at that point, and I’m happy to see that there are now efforts to make such behavior more default and less edge case, even when there are exceptions.

Same problem here, my company requires 2FA for remote network access. MS Authenticator requires Google Services on Android which I don’t have - so no home office for me I guess.

To be fair, there are a lot of Flatpacks published by the devs themselves (especially in the Gnome/GTK ecosystem).

Sounds like a rather frustrating journey for you.

Thanks! Glad to see the 8x7B performing not too bad - I assume that’s a Mistral model? Also, does the CPU significantly affect inference speed in such a setup, do you know?

So you access the models directly via terminal? Is that convenient? Also, do you get satisfying inference speed and quality with a 16GB card?

Why exactly are the IBM dependencies a problem for you?

I guess I just like independent, community-driven distros, since there’s less space for financially motivated enshittification. Just shortly after I decided to go with FCOS, RedHat / IBM decided to close down CentOS, for example.

I can’t really find good resources on how FCOS is working and what are the benefits. Is it updating the system/kernel automatically as well as the containers?

The system & kernel yes. The whole system is basically a read-only system “image” for which the devs make sure all the packages play nicely together. Packages are not updated individually, but whole system “image” are released periodically, which the system then downloads automatically and reboots (you decide when it actually reboots through the config). If anything goes wrong, the system is rolled back to the previous “image”.

When you go with podman, there’s a systemd service you can enable which will update the containers (i.e. pull the specified image tag). I’m not aware of a similar mechanism for Docker, which is why I use watchtower for that which has been working smoothly so far.

Edit:

And what are generally, in your opinion, the advantages of FCOS?

For me, it’s the (quite safely designed) auto-updates of the base system (I just feel like having to do less repetitive work), infrastructure-as-code aspect, and the container mindset (as I containerize everything anyways). Also I just have a weakness for new, fancy stuff.

I use Fedora CoreOS on my homeserver and a bunch of VPSs. Migrated the homeserver just recently, but I’ve migrated the first VPSs a bit more than a year ago. So far, I had no problems with it. There’s a low-traffic mailing list where the devs inform about security issues and breaking changes to the whole container stack.

I used debian before for some years, but at some point became tired of manually updating the system (which is probably one of the biggest benefit of FCOS). It takes, however, quite some time to put your first Ignition config together, and debugging is tedious as you have to redeploy to see if a bug / error is now gone (I’ve used a VM for that).

I use podman on some, Docker on other servers (you can’t use both at the same time). Both have been working well so far.

I’d recommend it, but would also recommend taking a look at Flatcar Linux which is more or less the same without the IBM dependency (which makes my stomach hurt sometimes).

Only Chinese code is present, namely [lists three linux distros]

Linus Torvalds: *clears throat*

The fact chromium based browser are going to be allowed as well makes me nervous.

Running the AV container is optional, as is using the integrated backup solution. But I can see how that might feel bloated if you don’t need it.

I decided to go with this one because it’s now the official distribution channel and supported by the devs. But the lsio one looks pretty solid as well.
