  • Someone got to say it…

    There is no Debian if everything was a pile of Snaps/Flatpack/Docker/etc. Debian is the packaging and process that packaging is put through. Plus their FOSS guidelines.

    So sure, if it’s something new and dev’y, it should isolate the dependencies mess. But when it’s mature, sort out the dependencies and get it into Debian, and thus all downstream of it.

    I don’t want to go back to app-folders. They end up with a missmash of duplicate old or whacky lib. It’s bloaty, insecure and messy. Gift wrapping the mess in containers and VM, mitigates some of security issues, but brings more bloat and other issues.

    I love FOSS package management. All the dependencies, in a database, with source and build dependencies. All building so there is one copy of a lib. All updating together. It’s like an OS ecosystem utopia. It doesn’t get the appreciation it should.

    Can it run problem bank apps? I need a bank auth app for work as the bank stopped fobs and it just would not run on LineageOS. It refused to run because “the phone is insecure”. I tried Magisk hiding stuff and MicroG, and a number of way of tricking methods. That’s why I ended up on GrapheneOS, as a compromise without feeling too compromised. Everything seams to think it’s on a normal Android phone, but I’ve sandboxed the Google tentacles. But it would be better if mandating OS wasn’t allowed. If I want to run a “insecure” phone, that’s my “problem”.






  • It’s an entertainment channel, that happens to have “news” in it’s name. So not subject to news rules. So it can have Tory MPs as presenters interviewing other Tory MPs as guests.

    That OK isn’t it? Not remotely dishonest and unbalanced…

    They will get shutdown soon enough for this dishonest nasty stuff. Or, as they will say, “silenced by the woke main stream for telling the truth”. It’s kind of what they want.



  • I’ve been on Debian Testing for my own desktops for about 15 years now. Sometimes as a Frankendebian mixing in SID/unstable. Sometimes mainly unstable, but mostly just Testing.

    It rarely breaks, but when it does, it’s a learning opportunity. Stable for servers and other people’s desktops. Maybe with backports. Flatpacks if this no other option.

    You don’t get 100% solid and 100% new. Ever. With anything.





  • Not mention of the near 10x price difference in cost per mile?

    Assume 3 miles per kWh

    kWh = 7.5p night rate (Octopus EV night rate)

    EV Cost per mile = 7.5p/3 = 2.5p per mile

    Assume 30 mpg

    Assume £1.50 per litre

    There is 4.54609 litres per gallon.

    So 4.54609 * £1.50 = £6.82 per gallon.

    ICE Cost per mile = 682p/30 = 23p per mile
