The urge to distrohop can be a distraction, but an itch that needs to be scratched now and then. I tend to always end up where I started, but when I do I feel better about it.

Do you know which packages and what defaults? I’ve tried to find the differences but I can’t really find what is different, except for wallpaper etc.

What is in LMDE that isn’t in plain Debian out of the box beyond branding?

One time I saw an http 418, but I think someone just configured it wrong on purpose.

Mm, depends, do you use a regular 5v charger or those fast charging chargers that take like 30 mins to charge the whole battery while making it quite warm?

how’s the charging on the CMF? Does it work to use usb-c pd?

You can get them preinstalled with /e/os too. https://murena.com/shop/smartphones/brand-new/murena-fairphone-5/

Are these american military bases useful for europe anymore? Do we need them? I always thought they were a nato thing, but nowadays I don’t know. If europe is alone against the russians anyway and we cant count on nato, maybe we should just tell the american military to leave europe?

Thank you, it is for me too. I’ve been running linux and bsd for 15 years, and now I’ve realized that my phone and the services I use have been a blind spot. I have two phones that are supported to install but only through adb. What does os version S,T,U mean in the list?

Aha! Thank you :) My next phone will definitely be /e/os then. I can’t really justify buying a new phone now when my old phone works, but maybe a refurbished one wouldn’t add to e-waste I guess.

How does it work to get banking apps and similar on /e/os? Do you have to sideload?

I’ve had this idea a few times over the years, but I always get stuck at figuring out: what is it actually I want to happen? If I remove a local file, should it be removed from the backup too? If I edit a file, should the newer version replace the old in the backup, or be saved separately, or just the delta between the files? I could never decide what I wanted.

Is it known which distro they are using?

Recently I decided to try ed for real and used it exclusively for a coding project. There is a certain joy in the simplicity, but ultimately I found myself printing lines and searching files more than I liked. And rewriting long lines instead of getting the substitutions wrong again.

Is edlin still around?

Maybe it can be translated into something else, like, “Documentation is like toilet paper, when it’s good it’s good, when it’s bad it’s better than nothing”? Or, “Documentation is like clothes, even if they are bad it’s better than nothing”, or “Documentation is like having something you need, it’s better to have the thing you need even if is not good, than to not have the thing you need at all”?

It seems interesting! But like, it’s $43 to get the URL to watch it on my computer?

Didn’t they have a fundraiser a few months ago where they got 130000 CAD? Not saying it’s wrong to have more fundraisers, but what happened with that?
Edit: it was pixelfed, not peertube

Yesterday I was looking at Donald Knuths Art of Computer Programming, and the book store had a “Often bought together with…” recommendation for a book about knitting inspired by the finnish national epos Kalevala.
