Why oh why did I "upgrade" my iphone?! I should know better. It's suddenly absolute shit now.
I want to blame "AI," but "upgrades" have been *downgrades* for a decade now.
I think maybe Linux and FOSS re-attenuated me to the idea that upgrades actually make your software function better...?

It appears Linux root-on-ZFS is a mess. No standard way to do it. Kernel updates require recompiling ZFS. Boot environments are a cornucopia of constantly evolving hacks.
If you're actually using #ZFS on root, on #Debian, what's your preferred hack to make that happen? #sysadmin
I suspect #openzfsmastery might need to assume root on extFS and data on ZFS, leaving root-on-ZFS for the advanced user or a terminal chapter. 
Ok my #debian with not #flatpak didn't work. There are some apps I need ... like #fractal
#nheko is a nice, but (personally) I really can't stand qt. Simply don't like.
Mainly all #gnome circle apps work great....
So having a stable #debian base with some "new" flatpaks might be a good plan for me.
Because I forced myself not to distrohop for a year ... I still have 337 with debian to go ;)
Alright, I am now owning (when received) a brand new and sealed Micronics Spitfire EX (09-00302-XX) Dual Slot 1 Mainboard and two Pentium II 350MHz. Unfortunately the 440LX chipset only support 66MHz FSB CPU's, so my ordered CPUs will only run at ~233MHz, which will be fine for me in the first place. Maybe I can do some overclock or so.
I really hope I have enough large SD Ram lying around to pack it up with the maximum of 1GB.
Pentium II is new enough to run a modern Linux Kernel on it, but I feel like I am more interested in throwing #OpenBSD on it, because I never really hacked around with it yet and it would fit IMHO better to this hardware.
Running a #snac instance on it, would be an idea. I really wonder, how that will perform.
Stay tuned.

Those Emulators are crazy and still kind of black magic to me.
How cool is that, I can emulate the mainboard in #86Box (only single cpu) I've bought and play around with it. How crazy is it, that's in the list of supported models oO
#OpenBSD Installation went fine so far, I am really stoked that it boots at all and the project still support i386. #FreeBSD dropped i386 with the R15 release last year as #Debian did as well with Trixie.
Looks like the USB-C hub is now working on my DAW. When I rearranged my studio I needed a longer 20 foot USB-C male-to-female cable. Plugged it into the same Thunderbolt 3 port and...nothing.
This morning, I tested the hub on my #Debian laptop with that same cable. It works fine. I tested another 20 foot cable on the laptop with the hub. It works fine. Tested that short cable on the same Thunderbolt 3 port. it works fine. Then, I tested that longer cable on a different #Thunderbolt 3 port. Whaddya know? It works fine.
This is a head scratcher. The ports and cables are fine but for whatever reason #MacOS doesn't recognize the hub *at all* with that one cable in that one port...even though that was the same port I used before I rearranged the #studio.
No changes to the OS were made. The only difference is that cable.
This is bizarre.

I've been looking for a clean, #NoAI Markdown editor to replace Logseq. Logseq is great but has a lot of bloat that I don't need for simple writing (like my scripts). I tried MarkText and I enjoy it, but I just learned that it hasn't been updated in over a year with little to no activity on their github, which is a concern for security and longevity.
What are you all using for distraction free writing, especially for markdown?

Holuu, gente de #Mastodon. No estuve muy activo últimamente porque estoy enfocado en mis estudios, pero tengo grandes noticias: logré instalar #Debian en mi vieja PC!! 🎉 Fue un re laburo, pero estoy orgulloso de haberlo hecho y de seguir aprendiendo de forma autodidacta.

GUIs are very nice yes, but nothing makes you feel quite as powerful as a successfully chained command line pipeline.
For example, taking a massive log file and filtering it through cat | grep | awk | sort | uniq -c to find the exact problem in seconds is a form of wizardry that modern UI simply cannot replicate.
Sometimes I believe the pipe | might be the single greatest invention in computing history lol 😋

"A newbie's guide to self-hosting with YunoHost. Part 3: Let’s install NextCloud"
And sorry for repeating myself, but the path to digital independence and empowerment is easier than you thought.
My self-hosted #NextCloud has fully replaced WeTransfer, Google Drive and Dropbox for me... and it's only the tip of the iceberg.
I hope this visual guide will help fellow newbies.

Hello World 🌏
Thank you, your guide (and sudo series) inspired and now showed how to setup Nextcloud and then GoToSocial, in just one evening 🌞
It feels nice - two steps toward greater digital autonomy with #FOSS software made by the community for the community ❤️
Thank you and @yunohost and #Nextcloud and @gotosocial and #Debian and...

I just learned that Ubuntu automatically disables all repositories except the Ubuntu official one when you upgrade it. WTF. (Apparently there's a little note it passes to you, but still.)
Thanks, but no. If I added a repository I want to manage it myself.
I like the Ubuntu Studio project, but I'm going back to Debian next time I need to make changes to my system. The excessive hand-holding, it is not for me.

Every now and then when I come back to use my daily driver running #Debian #Linux, I got surprised why #apt still does not provided short-formed commands like #pkg in #FreeBSD and #pkgin in #NetBSD do such as:
# FreeBSD#Unix #BSD #FOSS
pkg ins vim # same as pkg install vim
pkg sea vim # same as pkg search vim
# NetBSD
pkgin in vim # same as pkgin install vim
pkgin se vim # same as pkgin search vim
# while in Debian
apt search vim # no apt se/sea
apt install vim # no apt in/ins
