Learning to read manpages is honestly the best advice. They are pretty dense in information, so maybe that’s why some people go to great lengths to run circles around them looking for inferior sources of information.

Finally, a cure for insomnia. Thanks, I hate it!


Bad news mate. WW3 already started a while ago. The world is essentially in a proxy war against Russia.
You can start with dpigs. Then start marking packages automatically installed with apt-mark. aptitude may be a good frontend when removing a lot of packages, you can mark entire categories, like libraries, as automatically installed.
Pay attention to the package headers when removing packages. You don’t want to remove essential packages.


Nah, it’s still considered Personal Data under GDPR, because it’s possible to connect to natural persons. So GDPR applies. And this is illegal, there is no legal basis for processing this data.
Release submissions should really include a description what the project is about.


Can you find any links where one can read about this?
If Finland is wasting tax payer money to something shady, it should be brought to the local media.


As a finn, I understand that there are probably legal reasons for doing this.
I just wish they would be transparent and share those reasons with us. The Linux kernel is certainly not the only free software project that is impacted, if this comes straight from EU/US sanctions. Maintainers of other projects have a lot of interest in what is happening.
Transparency is also important because if EU/US policy/sanctions are causing issues for free software projects, then that discussion needs to be public, so that there is a chance to amend the policies if necessary.


finland has pretty bad, climate-change-exploitation-fucking-over-the-third-world dealings in my country
Which country is that, and what dealings?


There may be worse countries, but rest of the word is not in a proxy war with them.
The use case sounds exactly like git-annex.
As a bonus you get a system that tracks how many copies of files and where you have them.


Do you happen to know any more recent documentation that would have similar diagrams?
Heh, Distrobox came to my mind when writing my comment. I haven’t used it enough to recommend it yet though.
I recall there are some other development container projects, but can’t remember the names right now.
Development containers are nice in theory. In practice, sometimes development environments are so complex that it might not be worth the trouble. But it’s good to have options.
Distro packages don’t really matter much in my experience. You either use project-specific package management or install stuff with Homebrew or Nix package manager. Sometimes maybe even containers.
One problem with distro packages is that you can only install one version. And in practise a lot of software projects have outdated dependencies. Sometimes you have multiple projects with conflicting version dependencies.
When I checked a long time ago, there wasn’t.
And not only failures, often it’s useful to get mail for all executions.
I guess cron continues to have its place.
Is there any easy way to get mail of the runs like with cron?
Valve hasn’t heard of imperative mood for changelog entries, it seens.
Everything except mobile support points towards Emacs org-mode indeed.
If you can find something even close to it, I would be interested to know as well.
Thanks for the comments. I agree on the general consensus, that once an encryption key enters the VPS, the encryption is compromised.
However, I’m thinking more in practical terms, eg. the service provider doing just casual scanning across all disks of VPS instances. Some examples could be: cloud authentication keys, torrc files, specific installed software, SSH private keys, TLS certificates.
I look forward to Digital Wellbeing.
Considering Gnome 48 won’t hit stable distros any time soon, any recommendations for alternatives?
