The whole #KeePassXC#Debian thing is kinda giving me second thoughts wrt. the whole #Linux distro and #opensource packaging thing in general. My understanding of the implied agreement between me as a dev and a distro's package maintainer is: the maintainer, to the best of their ability, tries to make my software work "as intended". In return, they get to publish it under my software's name.
That's clearly not how Debian views things. And I can't accept distros publishing broken sw w/ my name.
I see some people are really disappointed about Debian packaging a stripped-down version of KeePassXC. But hey, I actually wish there was also a minimal @thunderbird package without integrations of IRC or Matrix etc, just with core email functionality.
Breakthrough: I wrote a program that prints a line of text!
So what's the point?
Program written in #rust, cross compiled on #debian, linked with #vlink to a TOS executable {on Windows), put into a disk image on debian and executed on a real ST via a #gotek floppy emulator with #flashfloppy firmware.
Amazing experience! 😎
The system uses roughly around 20 - 30 Watts under normal desktop usage - peaking at 60 when the load is high.
Not going back to the #Ryzen anytime soon... just don't need the power.
Besides: It is quiet and cool - like that a lot.
Running #Debian with #Xfce on it and also have two vm's that I run most of the time.
Also: There is a spare NVMe in there... room for more fun 😎
This "packagers thinking they know better than the developers, and unilaterally patching things" mentality, along with distros often shipping outdated versions, is why many upstream software developers dislike dealing with Debian (& any LTS distro), and now ask users to test/run #Flatpak versions of their applications first and foremost.
Debian Users - Be aware the maintainer of the KeePassXC package for Debian has unilaterally decided to remove ALL features from it. You will need to switch to keepassxc-full to maintain capabilities once this lands outside of testing/sid.
Matrix certrainly has its rough edges, but I find it awesome that pretty much every major Linux community now has their dedicated space. All federated, of course.
Sorry @k9mail@thunderbird but I moved to #FairEmail (Pro) due to its support to S/MIME and the certificate offered by my provider #Posteo.
Thanks to Marcel Bokhorst for FairEmail
@AAMfP@k9mail@thunderbird Interesting offer by #posteo. Just tried in #firefox on my #debian pc and it failed with "Action not permitted" when trying to download the files (I guess). I would also much prefer to upload my own CSR that I generated outside of the browser. BTW, in Germany #ausweisapp enables you to sign your PGP/GPG key by an official authority for free. OpenKeychain works nicely in #fairemail. #kudos to #dhl for using #smime to sign their mails.
Mal eine Frage in die Gemeinschaft.
Vor längerer Zeit hatte ich Mal eine Anleitung wie man in ein #Debian stable einbaut das manche (nicht alles) Pakete aus dem #Testing oder #unstable installiert werden. Mit allen Risiken ich weiß.
Leider finde ich die nicht mehr.
Hat hier jemand einen Tipp 🤔
