Canonical still licenses most of their stuff under GPL3, including new stuff. The license (other than it being open) was probably not even a consideration in deciding to experiment with uutils.

Like krita does?

I’ve got GIMP 3.0 here on my Kubuntu system 🤷‍♂️

It using glibc still distinguishes it as more of a GNU system than, say, Alpine.

Yeah this particular guy also loves doing insane things to his machine. He’s absolutely mental in a wonderful way.

My personal take on anything Jon does based on my experience with his delightful antics is that the only thing we can say for sure is if it doesn’t work for him it’s just not going to happen. His blog is pretty great to follow.

Not to mention that I can’t find any indication that Mint has a fixed version of ffmpeg at all.

That’s not quite accurate. The community can still upload fixed packages to universe, just as the community runs universe in the first place.

Does mint ship with a fixed version of ffmpeg?

I’d much rather see RISC-V take over.

Why mess with perfection?

Stupid autocorrect!

Err… I mean uhh… No, I mean bird mounts! Don’t you like mounting birds in your filesystem?

And bird mounts

Installing SL is part of my standard cloud-init config.

All I hope is that this means less drama.

I don’t use (or want to use) Apple silicon. I don’t have a personal stake in whether Linux runs well on it. But the drama we’ve seen recently is neither good for Linux as a whole nor good for these specific subsystems.

I do want to see more rust in the kernel, but not at the cost of harming overall kernel development. I want to see more rust in the kernel because I believe that, if done well, that step can make kernel development better.

Yeah that’s basically it for me. I have a collection of dev boards, old hardware and stuff other people were tossing out set up for a variety of purposes (Kubernetes clusters, two build farms, network boot, etc.). None of it is because I feel I “need” any of that for self hosting. In practice two old desktops with a bunch of drives would be perfectly capable of providing everything I need including redundancy. I have all that stuff because I’m learning and experimenting.

The native performance of this board is similar to a Raspberry Pi 3. With Box64 it’ll be significantly worse.

There’s quite a push behind RISC-V now, in part because China seems to like the idea of not being tied to American or British companies for their CPU architecture. We’ll see whether it actually pass out or not.

With one exception

Whoa, it’s not after I find someone else who worked at my last employer!

I support Arch, but I will refuse the business of anyone who would choose to install Arch on their machine.
