Vanilla OS 2 Orchid - Stable Release in c/linux@lemmy.ml

It would be largely fine, but be careful. Being immutable, a lot of things that you would expect will work differently or not at all. I would not recommend it, but if you're in for a challenge, it's not bad.

Most of what you said applies to the Linux kernel too. It's good to have other options, but being popular does not mean something is bad.

That should work, though you may want to look into Framework instead.

Yes. Why?

The app itself is closed-source, but they use PyPush, which also has a blog post explaining how it works.

The problem is that breaking it will also break a lot of Apple devices.

One of these 6 beauties will become the wallpaper for Plasma 6. Which one do you prefer? in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

I like bottom right the most, but it does't really feel like a default wallpaper as much as top left. Middle right feels like part of a tiling WM with custom colors more than a default for a DE.

He's pretty much the quintessential QA tester. He wants to do things his way, regardless of whether or not the OS wants him to do that. He's usually skilled enough to fix anything he messes up, but he doesn't know enough about Linux to do that, so he ends up breaking things. I feel like most people have a better experience than he did, but his technique uncovered a ton of bugs and usability issues that significantly improved the Linux desktop to have fixed.

Tiling addons. I like having a full DE, but I also want tiling, so Pop!_Shell on GNOME and Polonium on KDE are invaluable (and yes, COSMIC looks really promising).

Thanks, though your correction is also incorrect. Display managers, like SDDM, GDM, or LightDM, are the login screen. They're called "display managers" for historical reasons, but they also run on top of the display server.

[All Cosmere] Can Feruchemists use other Investiture? (lemm.ee)
 

Let's assume a Feruchemist has access to some other form of Investiture, maybe with a Perpendicularity, liquid Dor, becoming a Radiant, getting Breaths, or maybe even tapping Connection to become Elantrian or something. We've seen from TLM that Allomancers can use Investiture from a Perpendicularity instead of metals, so can Feruchemists do the same? If so, how would something like a coppermind work, where the attribute has data stored rather than just an amount? There's probably a WoB explaining this somewhere, but I can't find it.

Replacing server while keeping maximum data (lemm.ee)

My Matrix server is on Oracle Cloud. At one point, while messing with something on it, I accidentally enabled the firewall for port 22, so I can no longer access it via SSH. I think I also disabled password login, as I cannot log in over Oracle's remote terminal service. Also, the backups had filled up the drive space without me noticing, so it hadn't made backups in six months. Yes, I'm dumb.

At this point, I've given up hope for recovering the data on the server, but I would prefer to keep as much as I can when making a new server. The information online about making a new server on the same domain all involves copying over some data from the old server, so is it possible to keep the domain name when making a new server? It seems that it is not possible to make a new account with the same name on the same domain because it messes with federation, so I will need a new account name. Is that all correct?

My current plan is this:

  • use Matrix migration to transfer my rooms to a temporary account
  • delete the server
  • make a new server with the same domain
  • make an account with a different name on the new server
  • use Matrix migration again to transfer the rooms from the temporary account to the new account

Does this all seem like it would work, and is there a better solution? Thank you for the help.

Edit: What I ended up doing was this:

  1. Upgrade to a paid account (my account was previously free)—this can't be reverted, but you won't get charged if you're always below the limit
  2. Export the boot drive to a bucket
  3. Download the bucket
  4. Extract the downloaded bucket and take whatever data you need from it
  5. Delete the bucket
  6. Replace the boot drive (or create a new server and delete the old one). You may be able to fix the issue then upload the image again, but I just applied the vital details (signing key, primarily, but you can also use the database) to a new image.
