Why do you think ubuntu and debian derivatives are unsecure?

Totally fair. I am just pointing it out here because it felt a bit icky when I saw it on the github page.

If it was closed source I would agree but you can check for yourself if the code is good. Even if they are crazy.

No I can not. I am not an android-dev, I am not the best dev out there and I don’t have time to thouroughly go through a big codebase. It would defenetly be possible to hide mallicious code from me, even if I have access to the source-code. For really big projects it is safe to assume other, more knowlegable people have allready audited the code, but for small ones I have to be able to trust the devs.

Tbf telegram also seems fairly popular in less problematic areas for sime reason (it’s quite populare in ukraine as well for example)

Their russian telegram channel has some opinions.

Besides a chemtrail conspiracy - reference there is a whoule channel for the ru-ukr war. I am unsure if it is in support of the war or not and translating it does not really clarify it (sentiment gets lost easily I guess).

Considering that, some clarification would be nice. Because I don’t think I would trust a software made by russian “patriots” (quote from the channel) in the current geopolitical landscape.

The grass looks like my doormat:

I don’t tgink you can create a RaidZ1 with just two drives.

But the low-cost pool would probably not have the capacity to hold my data (or not be low-cost).

Sadly I don’t have 11 Tb worth of smaller empty drives around (and not even eniugh sata-Ports, so I’d also have to buy an expansion-card).

Yeah, I don’t like the broken pool idea either, that’s why I was hoping there was a better method.

Sounds interesting, but while I have room for one more drive, I don’t want to spend money for one more drive xD (As mentioned, I have >= 12Tb drives, so another one I don’t really need would hurt the wallet quite a bit.)

But send to where?

I back up my personal data for which I have the space. I do not back up my media, as I can’t justify the costs for another drive that size and would be fine with losing in the offchance I loose two drives in my array (or my entire server fucking up).

I still (have to) download scetchy executables on Windows when I want to install most programms, while on debian I can install most programs via apt and a few repositories. Even when it’s not a standard repo I still prefer it over random executables because while the security is just as bad at least I get updates without having to open the program itself.

But what resonated with me most have been the restarts for updates. Happened way to often that I wanted to stop working but cant just shut down windows without updates and the accompanying reboots. (If I don’t check up in between to decrypt the disk on startups it’ll just sit there and run out the battery and I have to do the restarts on the next workday). On debian I just klick the power button, it hibernates (or I shut it down if I’m in the mood) and os updates are completely seperate from that.

Besides missing dependencies or repositories for more nice software this kinda closely matches my experience though.

(Ignoring winget, becaust it is not really the mainstream way to install windows software)

What is your specific issue with this?

I don’t understand why so many organizations make it so hard to donate. Why do I need to enter my name and e-mail only to discover you don’t support european banks. It cannot be that complicated to set up an eu-bankaccount and publish the IBAN to just let me wire money, right?

Mid-life crisis? I’m in my mid-20s!

Not in humans, but an indicator anyhow: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4341275/

I have one and was born after 98 though. Why would they use old thech on me? Am I really that unimportant on them?

installs Firefox LSR

(I am still very happy having made the switch to debian, although I would like to switch to plasma 6 at some point xD)
