Rust is mainstream now,
I mean, if you mean “Rustplaining is commonplace”, yeah.
My solution for cases like this is sudo format c: /q && apt install linux
.

ICANN approves use of .awesome-selfhosted
domain for your network
And this is the reason I run infra on Debian Stable, or Oldstable, rather than eg.: Sid.
, where u can probably disable it if wanted.
these things should be opt-in, not opt-out. Opt-out is the way Microsoftism get (and have already gotten into) Linux.
Potterdung’s hand in it probably. That said, it makes it much easier to extract information about an error condition on a machine you might not have keyboard access to… assuming you do have screen access to, tho.
Not sure exactly what files do you have but at least on my system:
/usr/share/ppd/cupsfilters
if you want them grabbe dby Cups./usr/share/color/icc
. Which directory I guess depends on what and who is managing those files./usr/share/gutenprint
in a directory within usually with the name papers
(note the plural).Now, all this gets me is where to place the files. I wouldn’t know exactly how to register to eg.: Cups that those files are there other than using Cups’s own web interface to add drivers.
Just to make sure: you tried with CUPS / gutenprint both with the Generic PCL and the Generic Postscript drivers? A fair portion of “unsupported” printers I’ve seen usually accept at least one of them, in particular if the printer also supports “discoverable printing” (eg.: sending to the printer from a phone).
That’s why you shred
from a live cd, rather than from the live system, right?
Hmmm maybe that’s the one that tries to do everything on its own instead of using the stuff I’ve already set up. Had similar issues with eg.: Nextcloud.
I’ve been looking for an alternative “the actual XMPP service only, nothing else that can be sourced by the host” container setup but there doesn’t seem to be any.
You can, but honestly no idea how to handle stuff like the certs from that point on. Most other software on docker lets me eg.: just bind-mount the host’s directory with the certs I want to use - or just not even know about SSL in the first place and just let me reverse-proxy the access in (like, say, a simple static page web server).
But, like I said, the last times I tried to get into it, it tried its darnest to get in my way. If that’s changed since then, that’d be great.
While I like it conceptually, the two times I tried to install it I felt it was far too opinionated for me to get it to work correctly, like other software “bundles” of its kind that want to take control of the entire process of setting up ports, networking, storage, certificates etc…, instead of just hanging down from stuff that I have already prepared for it (like my own domain with my own cert).
Like, as a piece of software it’s something I’d absolutely use… if someone else sets everything up for me.
xscreensaver is the gold standard for screensavers on Linux, even if the dev is a bit salty that people actually use his software on computers they want to control, and technically speaking the program is nagware, you just won’t (mostly) get to see the nags if you are getting it from your distro’s active repos.
So basically you are looking for a Linux distro without an open source license? And probably without a license at all…?
Since you(r team) already have the Ubuntu experience, the obvious and senseful migration path is Debian. Stable plus docker/podman covers for most of what’s needed plus cover for the “bUt thIS paCKaGe iS 2 weEkS olD!!!1” crew.
Knowing about the customized downloads aspect is interesting, and it probably solves what I want from some sources (eg.: bookmark / script some download options), thanks.
It’s quite weird considering it’s a site for FOSS stuff and thus has a nontrivial, huge overlap with people understanding of basic privacy in modern web. Anyway. At the moment I’m salvaging this by just checking what themes are popular in those sites and searching for their official repos in DDG just in case they have Releases. But it certainly is not the best workflow.

Nice try, fed.
