Is this just hosted nextcloud with collabora office pre installed?

I have also been done in many times by git-filter-repo. My condolences to the chef.

Outdated image, everything goes through palantir now

I’m not sure if it would work for your situation but you seem to be able to ssh into a server on that network? If so you can run a browser on that computer and tunnel the X session over ssh:

Otherwise neko seems neat, I’ve actually been looking for something for watch parties.

I’m not sure how you’re getting wallpaper engine to work on Linux because it’s not supported on anything other than windows.

Are you using Wallpaper Engine? If so you are likely going to keep having issues with your screen blanking while you try and use it, as it’s not supported on Linux.

Jokes aside I actually do appreciate that almost all guix packages are verified source and not just copy scripts of already built tarballs.

Guix is awesome!

Nonguix substitute server is down for the fifth straight day, forcing me to rebuild the entire Linux kernel when updating

And you should Never use it!

I agree to some degree but the gnu project doesn’t have a great track record for performative hosting (savannah is very prone to going down for long periods of time.)

I don’t begrudge better hosting infrastructure from a different non-profit.

As a guix user and package maintainer I’m ecstatic.

I’m so proud of the community for rallying around the needs and pain points of everyone and making this decision. This reduces so many pain points for a guix user and will hopefully smooth out the package maintenance process a great deal. Email is simple but trying to do code change communication over it can be very complex and time-laborous.

If you’re curious about functional packaging systems grab guix on your distro and give it a try!

Special shout out to anyone burnt out on Nix lang. Come feel the warm embrace of Scheme’s parentheses. :)

On that front: to developers-

Please make sure you include bash completions for your tools

pre installing flatpaks

Did the room just get a bit colder or is it just me

Libreoffice has a database engine and frontend that’s pretty applicable to Microsoft Access

guix and/or nix

Both are functional package managers and manage dependency trees better than flatpak IMO (also the package description languages mean you can manipulate the package definitions at install time much easier)

If you can’t find a package in guix/nix then it behooves you to use flatpak

Some additional nice things about guix:

Everything is guile. The system definition, the service definitions for shepherd, everything.

Shepherd is hands down the best init program I’ve ever used. It’s just incredibly simplistic but because it just runs the guile definition you give it, you can do some incredibly complex things that systemd etc. can do as well.

The OS documentation is built into the distro, with “info guix” you get reams of configuration information for the distro without ever needing to look it up online.

About a year and a half.

To be honest it’s not “easy” to use. The guiding principle behind mainline packages is that everything has to be built from source, so most somewhat unpopular things are missing from the mainline channels.

To use it like any other distro you’re going to need to learn how to write packages fairly quickly. Luckily the main draw of guix is the entire OS being based on guile so once you get a little under your belt you can just read the specs from other channels to see how a package is written.

Took me maybe a week to start writing guix packages.

There’s also The toybox

Guix because I love the idea behind Nix but Nixlang is the most painful language I’ve ever had to type out.

Hledger!

Command line, plain text files so anything can read them, and GPL!

I’d say this seems useful mostly for pulling non nbz/torrent sources from readarr and lidarr services

It was over eleven years ago at this point so my memory may be hazy on the details but I remember something happening in the major version change that pissed me off enough to switch off of it. 🤔

Licenses for sublime text 2 just said “and future updates”. I remember the “lifetime” thing being a selling point on producthunt. This was back in 2013 though, and the weird way the licensing change was handled made me switch to emacs.
