They haven’t modified apt; they abuse an extra version number that supercedes the major version number of a package. I think it’s meant to be used for new packages that reuse the name of an abandoned project. Canonical publish packages for software like Firefox that depend on snapd and just run snap install firefox instead of actually installing anything. Since they bumped that extra version number, their packages always have a higher precedence than even the officially packaged debs from Mozilla.

Where they’re keeping my crew.

This is the way.

Yup. Even if you add the official mozilla repos, Cannoical adds a prefix to their version so it always takes precedence over the official release. You have to pin the mozilla repo to blacklist the snapped version.

Same goes for Thunderbird.

I’m sure Snap has some security advantages for many users but they’ve made it so user-hostile for those who use native browser extensions or who want to automate deployments with just one packaging system.

Anyway, rant over - fuck Snap.

You’re going to lose Snap? That is an option, you know.

Hack the planet!

”Ukrainian cybercriminals"

Hot take; damaging a nation’s ability to perpetrate a genocide is not a crime.

I see. Surely that means that the source files have to be structured in a certain way then. If a design for a piece of print media was flattened to a single rasterised layer, or a video project had all the effects baked into the clips, a freelancer could deliver in the right format, but that file would be much less useful than if every operation was preserved non-destructively. I would think some artists wouldn’t want to just give away how they achieve certain effects.

I don’t know if that’s much of a thing in creative fields, or if there are conventions on things like keeping text as text, not editing it as vectors or pixels.

Ah, I see. I guess that varies by client but you wouldn’t want to limit the work you take like that. That’s a difficult situation to change.

Why would a freelancer need to follow an industry standard? Do you have to share project sources with clients in proprietary formats rather than just the final output formats?

I see. mygpo is the code that runs gpodder.net. I guess it could be self-hosted, but it doesn’t look straight forward to do so. I missed it since in the docs it’s under the developer section, not the user section. gpoddersync seems much easier as long as you’re ok using Nextcloud. It would be nice if mygpo were packaged for Nix or docker. Maybe I’ll give that a go at some point.

That doesn’t clarify anything for me. Is the client application also the service, or are they (as I believe) two different things with the same name?

What I’m really getting at is that FreshRSS is self-hostable and as far as I can tell - gPodder isn’t.

I don’t think I understood what gPodder is. The website says gpodder.net is a sync service, but doesn’t seem to indicate that it can be self hosted. The list of clients has gPodder listed as a desktop PC client to gpodder.net. Does the desktop client also work as a server?

AntennaPod can sync to gpodder.net (only at that url?). When I tried it I got a load of timeouts. Instead I enabled the gpoddersync NextCloud app to my own server. That worked like a charm between AntennaPad and kasts on PC.

Thanks for posting this. I see it was on a few other communities last week but I missed it somehow. Great debugging and reminds me of the classic GTA5 online mode fix.

Does anyone know how debug symbols came to be available for the old games?

Infrared lasers aren’t visible. They’re still higher frequency than radio waves. To say that visible light is visible radio is to say that the sky is green, just that it’s predominantly blue coloured green.

I would say don’t give DOGE any ideas but I think that’s less bad than some of their own.

Gallup get 46% Israeli support in response to the question “In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?” Palestinians get 33%.

In the System settings, under Window Management > Window Behaviour, in the Focus tab, there is a Focus stealing prevention selector. If it’s set to extreme, then it does prevent switching to another desktop when I open a window that gets sent there.

I think that’s what you want but I guess it would mess with all applications, not just Steam. I don’t think you can do it per application.

I remember there being a window management protocol that would allow more control but I don’t think Kwin implements it yet.

If you have the docker-compose.yml locally, you can nix run github:aksiksi/compose2nix to translate it into a nix file for inclusion in your nixos system config. I think that could be done in the config itself with a git url but I’m not that great at nix. You will surely still need some manual config to e.g. set environment variables for paths and secrets.

How do the DNS servers resolve local hostnames then? The pihole DHCP integration adds local hostnames to DNS when they are assigned an address. If there’s two DHCP servers handing out leases, presumable only one would be accepted, how then would the DNS servers sync those names?

I think I had my secondary pihole resolve local names from the primary, and leases were copied over on a cronjob in case the secondary DHCP server had to be enabled.
