You have to decide if freedom is more important to you than convenience or paper-thin aesthetics.

That's really just about it.

Sorry if I'm not putting it super tactfully. I was a fanboy in my day, but it was a lot easier to be an Apple fanboy in 1989 or 2009 than today, now that they're just an overrated, overpriced, overhyped fashion brand with fascist leanings.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

If you don't have any experience running a free(dom) OS on your computer(s), then I can recommend something like Fedora or MX Linux as a great starting point, although I'm partial to #Debian. Getting FreeBSD going takes a little bit of work, although I wouldn't call it particularly hard. It's just some #RTFM :)

Again, I don't mean to be belligerent or demeaning. I'm just a bit further along on my journey and I have a hard time hiding my disdain for Apple anymore. I was a huge Apple fan for most of my life, so it's definitely a love-to-hate kinda thing. The mystical wave function of Apple's hype machine collapsed after dazzling my eyes for 30 years, and all I was left with was a solitary particle of bullcrap. XD

Pleases feel free to holler if you need any help or suggestions. I'm here for it. 😊

@janriemer well... conversation has derived to "I say only Linux! Blah blah blah"
I guess there are holy places everywhere Xd
I'm one of those saying GNU/Linux , I think it's more descriptive of a system.
If I hear only #Linux I think about #android or even #postmarketos ...
If I hear #GNU/Linux I think about #debian etc.
But ecosystem is rich enough! I love more to hear about #gnu / #linuxlibre or #gnuhurd...
But hey! I dont care how you say it!
Holy places and criticism everywhere, true.

From pencil to color, it's all done by hand. Here is under a timelapse of my recent comic strip: two days of work in 30s. I use Krita to bring my art to life, on Debian, one stroke at a time.

#Debian #OpenStack #Cloud

Ok so hey #SelfHosting

I want a #SelfHosted web-type Office Suite ala Google Sheets/Docs and I don't want it to be part of some gigantic resource-chewing albatross like #NextCloud

I would like to do all my Word Processing and Spreadsheeting and so forth through a web interface, which is served from my #Debian server (docker is fine) and saves the documents as normal files in a defined directory.

Does such a thing exist? I do NOT need feature-rich, I do not need it to save MSOffice docs that I can send to a printing shop with all bugs intact, I just want to stop losing shit to hard drive wipes, which I'm sorry but nuking my hard drive is a lifestyle choice at this point and I don't care what you think about it.

I have had the thought that maybe #LibreOffice has some sort of plugin or something which could store files in an Object Storage type thingy that I could self-host instead, cause I've been planning to get some sort of bucket online since forever...

Just donated a bit for @ev to support their first Phosh Contributors Meeting (https://ev.phosh.mobi/blog/pcm-funding-25-11/)

I use #phosh from #debian #trixie on a OnePlus6 that is running #mobian as my daily driver. Even phonecalls work now 😊 And #postmarketos just managed to get the speakers working on the #fairphone 5! It's so amazing to see what happens @ #mobilelinux each day!

And of course it feels great to support this work! So between buying presents for your loved ones, don't forget to consider the projects you love.

Ever thought about APT compatible add-on package repositories for Debian? Like PPAs but having proper compatibility with #Debian, QA tests and automatic built-in snapshot capabilities?

Glad to announce #Debusine repositories are now in public beta for Debian developers and maintainers.

Head to https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-repositories-beta/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social to learn more about it and how you can use it.

#Freexian #DebusineRepositories

Both #Mobian and #PostmarketOS ( #Alpine #Linux) repositories block updates over #Tor, but so does GrapheneOS. However, it is possible to have onionized repositories with #Debian on #Termux.

proot-distro with alpine can install (apk add) #rust and #cargo. Just add the required libraries and #Arti is built! PostmarketOS is built on Alpine and, interestingly, "apks" and "sdks" derive from Alpine, not from Google.
https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/x86/rust

I wonder if microG can be installed in PostmarketOS. The Tor Browser should install on mobile linux devices (whether #Posh or #Gnome, etc). Until then, you can modify the proxy settings in #Firefox to use Arti. Onionsites could also be accessed this way.

Does anyone knows good way to find #gig opportunity for software dev? I'd like to avoid pitfalls of well known platforms. I can do:
- #Rust CLI/Dev tools, APIs
- #C code ( #FreeRTOS, #Zephyr, #Linux including some #drivers or #v4l2)
- #Cpp C++ code
- #Bash or #Python scripts, tools
- #CI workflows (GitHub, GitLab)
- #Yocto layers
- #Debian packaging + #DKMS

Anyone has experience in getting hands on small projects?

Edit: I can #teach / #training Rust or C++.
