Make my application extendable by "mods"? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

I think as soon as you add mods to your application that can bring their own code with them you have a potential security issue. The most secure approach that I have seen is wasm mods/plugins run in a sandbox.

I hope you have success. Ventoy is a cool tool, but those binaries suck!

What does the license change actually mean? What are the differences?

Ubuntu explores replacing gnu utils with rust based uutils (www.cyberciti.biz)
 

At first I was sceptical, but after a few thought, I came to the solution that, if uutils can do the same stuff, is/stays actively maintained and more secure/safe (like memory bugs), this is a good change.

What are your thoughts abouth this?

How do you backup? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

As far as I know, by definition, at least restic is not incremental. It is a mix of full backup and incremental backup.

Thanks for your hint towards borgbackup.

After reading the Quick Start of Borg Backup they look very similar. But as far as I can tell, borg can be encrypted and compressed while restic is always. You can mounting your backups in restic to. It also seems that restic supports more repository locations such as several cloud storages and via a special http server.

I also noticed that borg is mainly written in python while restic is written in go. That said I assume that restic is a bit faster based on the language (I have not tested that).

How do you backup? (lemm.ee)
 

I recently implemented a backup workflow for me. I heavily use restic for desktop backup and for a full system backup of my local server. It works amazingly good. I always have a versioned backup without a lot of redundant data. It is fast, encrypted and compressed.

But I wondered, how do you guys do your backups? What software do you use? How often do you do them and what workflow do you use for it?

For some apps that are not system relevant such as restic I have found a solution in form of distrobox. But that does not work for programs like podman.

I have a few (~5) applications where the version in the debian stable repos is to old for me. Examples would be podman and restic. I found out that the version for testing are recent enough. Is it possible to install specific apps from testing while the default is stable?

But it seems they only revlealed some of the code and not the engine nor assets.

So compiling the code could be pretty difficult.

New Terms for Firefox from Mozilla (blog.mozilla.org)

Apparently mozilla wants the right to get data from firefox users. But not like general information, they want to know what data you upload or download through firefox.

Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example.

What the fuck? I use firefox because I want privacy!!! Not sharing my information with a company.

We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. WHY DO YOU NEED MY DATA TO MAKE FIREFOX WORK???

Discord notification Icon bugfix (lemm.ee)
 

For some time I missed the notification icon of discord. I mean the little number in the taskbar icon that appears, when you get a message.

Today I found a fix for it in the archwiki.

You need to have libunity version packaged for your distro installed. For me on debian it was libunity9. After installing it, you get the notification icon again!

Big released bevy games (lemm.ee)
 

Are there some big projects/games that are released and made in bevy?

A lot of times tiny glade is mentioned, but I can not find a reliable source from the devs that it is made in bevy.

Worth using distrobox? (lemm.ee)
 

I am thinking about using distrobox. Since I am on debian I wont need it to install software I could otherwise not install. But I have some apps that require weired install scripts and I am thinking about using it as a security measurement. Do you think that is a good idea? Does that idea makes sense?

How to find project names? (lemm.ee)
 

I am currently searching for a name that I can use for a software project. Id like to have a short one that has no real meaning associated with it. I already asked some ai's. All names that I found sound terrible or have some meaning attached to it. . Like the name is already used for some medication or so.

How do you guys come up with names?

Iced (GUI Crate) is getting default animation support (lemm.ee)
 

Iced, a popular GUI Crate, used by system76 for their new DE, is getting default animation support in the development branch. The animations are based on the lilt crate. As far as I know the only missing part that needs to be done is, adding animations to the default widgets.

I assume in the next release it will be shipped with animation support.

I am so happy that this is coming and look forward to see animations in my gui applications.
