That’s some very obscure place to take apks from, but ultimately it works, thanks :D

Love the harvesting minigames!

Can confirm. Hosting a large media collection, 500.000 books, offline Wikipedia, tons of offline game installers, and it all fits into 5 TB.

Got a used 10 TB HDD in very good condition for just $120, plan on buying a second one for redundancy.

Also, a 3D printer and a bunch of useful models are certainly on my future list.

A VPN doesn’t build a chain of nodes and doesn’t rotate them.

The VPN provider knows your real IP. Tor exit node doesn’t.

Absolutely essential going forward. People need to learn their way around it - and around LoRa devices, too. Reticulum can operate on all sorts of channels, but LoRa is what keeps you connected to your city/neighborhood no matter what.

I’d even say try Meshtastic/Meshcore first, depending on what’s more developed in your area, and then get to learn Reticulum.

With all of this prepared, still, IT IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR POLITICAL ACTION

It will get worse. Harder. More inaccessible. More and more people won’t be able to live in a free net, and with that, the prospects of fruitful coordination will wane as well.

And this is by design. If they make it inescapable, people rise up. If they slowly make it less and less accessible, people end up in disarray.

Going the Tor way is not a saving grace. It’s a band aid.

Sincerely,

A person living in Russia, one who has already witnessed it unfold.

Aurora causes weird issues for me, and also the anonymous access seems to be no more for everyone, so doesn’t help me in particular.

But I’m one user, and overall, having it on Aurora means a lot! Besides, having it there means someone eventually shares the .apk itself, and that’s something I can certainly work with, even if I’ll have to update manually.

Overall, a good development! :)

You probably think of Bazzite. Same gaming focus, but on immutable base, also very popular :)

Sure, and it’s not about liking. It’s about being damn sure Fedora will keep up with Linux development.

Linus is not the one to distro-hop, and you can be sure that his workstation will be perfectly operational and up to date with Linux development. And therefore, yours can probably be too.

I’d come with a word of caution then - while CachyOS automatically and conveniently installs with correct defaults, it is still a direct Arch derivative. Going forward, it will be just as easy to screw the system up and not know where to go next.

With that said, I strongly advise to learn to revert any change you can make to your system. The simplest way (assuming CachyOS installed root filesystem as btrfs) is to learn your way around snapper early on. Check tutorials on how to do it right on CachyOS.

With Snapper set up well, you can essentially undo any change. And this will be essential as you learn Arch (which CachyOS still really is).

Fedora recently provided some exciting developments in the Linux world, and it’s genuinely interesting to follow.

It’s also reasonably new and reasonably stable, which is often so much of a pain point to balance.

Also, I mean, it is the distro Linus himself prefers.

CachyOS is Arch with a few tweaks, some of which are hard to do by yourself.

Back to Fedora myself.

My path so far: Manjaro -> Arch -> Mint -> Fedora -> EndeavourOS -> OpenSUSE Tumbleweed -> Bazzite -> Fedora.

All distros on the list are brilliant in their own right, they just failed on my hardware in all variety of odd ways, or were simply too limited for what I want to do. Of all of them, Fedora was the least problematic in the long run, and with the snapshot experience I gained from OpenSUSE, I think I can manage it well now.

P.S. Seems like the article author also got inspiration for btrfs after using OpenSUSE, and I don’t think it’s random. Folks there made a truly perfect integration. If you want to know what btrfs can truly offer, look no further, this is the best use of this filesystem anywhere on Linux.

Oh yeah, as if I’m personally marching on Kherson in full armor.

Dude, these kinds of attacks have lost ground a long time ago. Plenty of Russians do not support what’s happening, many struggle themselves under drone strikes, quite a few actively resist. Or did you think large-scale attacks of Ukraine on some of the most crucial military objects happened without any help from Russians?

If you want to display your active civil stance, do it where you can. With US, Europe, Australia and more following Russia’s footsteps, I’m sure you’ll have ground for political action. Harassing Russians for the sake of being born in Russia is shortsighted and only serves to make you feel morally superior while doing nothing.

I mean, yeah, but then the same applies to Norton Commander as well :D

I see! This is understandable for a small indie dev.

But I’ll always be happy to see other avenues for distribution :)

Seconding the F-Droid request.

Also, the app is not available in Russia, is that by design?

In any case, good luck with it and thanks for sharing something like this!

Like if Nautilus is any better

Or, like, Total Commander. A wild guess would be some strategy game.

Both in book form.

Although the newer international passports have an ID card woven right into the book.
