But in Voyager the computers and antennas had to survive the radiation of Jupyter (?).

And what are the games they talk about?

I don’t know what I find more impressing. The 4kB of RAM from the moon mission in 1969 which worked back then or the 69kB of RAM from the Voyager mission in 1977 which still functions to this day!

Yes that happens more often than I would like to admit lol

But take signal for example, they only provide a .deb package. The flatpak and the AUR package are only community packaged. And how are flatpaks better suited for this?

Yes I thought about that too, but I really want to try something else.

Because you mentioned it, what exactly is selinux? I saw it a few times on fedora but never really understood what it’s useful for.

Thank you very much for correcting me about the RPM issue!

I don’t think security wise there’s much of a difference between running random software directly or via distrobox. Note that distrobox mounts your entire home directory into its containers, which removes any security benefit that containers could theoretically bring.

True, I forgot that distrobox mounts the entire home directory.

Using Nix (not NixOS) is also not actually that hard, you can just run nix-env -iA nixpkgs.yazi and it does exactly what you would expect, even if NixOS users would scoff at the “imperativity”.

But that still leaves the question: How to install Nix in the first place? Without just running the script. Another question: This command just runs the software once without actually installing it right?

That being said, the OpenSUSE repositories really aren’t that bad. Especially if you combine them with Flatpak, and especially if you install Firefox and VLC (or equivalents of your choice) from Flatpak so you don’t need proprietary codecs in your base system. I used OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for years and got by just fine without Nix, homebrew or distrobox.

Awesome, thank you very much! I really should just try it out for a while!

For example signal only provides a .deb package for Linux. And I must admit I never understood how to handle a “generic” linux package/tarball. Maybe I should dig into that one day.

I was not reading the Plasma 6.5 release notes so I was not aware of that. Nice, now I just have to wait.

Thank you very much, I will try it out when my distro ships Plasma 6.5

Do you know if Trilium saves notes in plain markdown like Obsidian or in a database?

I tried it in the past but had problems with the linux app (when are they releasing the flatpak to flathub?) so I put it aside for now. I want to try obsidian next but am not happy with it not being open source and that you either have to pay for sync or use the community livesync which could basically stop working with every update. Maybe I will go back to trilium but I have to stop switching and stick to one for a while lol

Which docs did you read in particular? If you mind to share? And so nice, that you setup a local LLM. I sadly don’t have the horsepower for that.

I was thinking about this for some time now, can you link me to some good tutorials about quadlets in particular? Ansible will have to wait for now.

I would love to try the flatpak but it is not (yet) verified on flathub so I wait for that to happen.

Finland would tell you: try it.

Can you please elaborate on this? I am currently using MicroOS and think about NixOS because of quick setup. But also about Proxmox and NixOS on top. Where would libvirt fit in in this scenario?

This sounds very interesting! I came from DietPi to MicroOS and am now thinking about NixOS, also because of the portability aspect.

I skipped Ansible for now but maybe I have to try that out together with NixOS.

Are you using a VM manager of some sort? I saw libvirtd mentioned in this thread a couple of times.

I tried MicroOS for a while now and I don’t know if it was my fault but I did not work so smoothly all the time. Maybe because the machine was turned off for a few days in a row. But a couple of times I just couldn’t ssh into the machine or it would not start up at all. Luckily ,ou can roll back and I used that to copy my docker volumes and compose files over. I think about trying NixOS next.
