  • Perfect description of Russia and China! Poor people living there… Being fed lies from their media, and basically being rejected the access to true freedom, like in the "western world"... I hope someday they can free themselves.

  • How right winged is canada?
  • At most they are friendlier than the average big-city dwelling Americans, and that’s where the meme came from.

    Haha, that could be true.

  • How right winged is canada?
  • I don't have the time to reply to all your answers…, But I am very thankful for your replies.

    I didn't know that /r/Canada really was just a bad example.

  • How right winged is canada?

    I am not actively following Canadian politics, but recently Reddit swarms me with media/videos about Canada, with the kind of rhetoric I know from right winged people in Germany (AfD, CDU).

    They are blaming Trudeau and immigration for everything that happens in Canada currently. Calling immigrants terrorists etc.

    I always had to imagine in my head, that Canadians are friendly, open-minded people, but the media suggest otherwise.

    So dear people, enlighten me with your opinion please!

    Just install EndeavorOS lol
  • Yeah, but don't tell other arch users you are using EndavorOS... jk!

  • Just install EndeavorOS lol
  • Guter

  • Just install EndeavorOS lol
  • When you boot up the arch iso, you can use a script called arch-install

  • Another country has called Xi a 'dictator' and China is not happy with that description
  • Shhhhh, don't let lemmygrad users read this

  • The Best Password Managers in 2023
  • GNU Pass, has been the best one so far. Set up your own git to sync it to all devices.

  • Anon uses arch btw
  • And thanks to the magic of downgrading a package, the issue is resolved within minutes. If any update breaks something, which never happened in 3 years of desktop usage and 2 years of server usage so far, you can just downgrade the package, to the previous version, ignore the upgrade and take some time to understand what breaks. But I understand, why this might be too much maintenance for some people, and they rather pay with their freedom, and let other people take care of their system. But for me, that is not what using Linux is about.

  • Anon uses arch btw
  • Never had any problems like that with Archlinux. Literally one command, and all your video drivers are installed. And using a minimal kernel is not really a archlinux thing, since it isnt supported.

  • Not *that* bad
  • uses a Chinese source ... Of course, China does nothing wrong! Who decided that? Of course a Chinese committee

  • Not *that* bad
  • Imagine spending all day defending China and Russia online. Are you even Chinese? If so, maybe you should leave for a while, and see how the world is behind the great firewall

  • Not *that* bad
  • GDP went up Mhhh, forced labor

  • Not *that* bad
  • Ay dude, you are really a chinese bot, arnt you? So much astroturfing, don't ya got any hobbies, expect licking Xijingpings dick, online everyday?

  • I wrote a Guide on how to install Arch Linux with BTRFS and (almost) Full Disk encrytion
  • Honestly, the best thing I learned was: Need to fix your system through the install medium? Save yourself keystrokes of mounting by just mounting the root subvolume (to /mnt) and then type: mount -aT /mnt/etc/fstab --target-prefix /mnt. This reads your fstab and mounts everything for you.

    Thank you so much for it :D

  • Visual Studio Code alternatives for Linux?
  • I am using it, as an "IDE" for everything.

  • Replace 1 TB m.2 SSD with 2 TB m.2 SSD

    Not specifically Archlinux, but I am using Archlinux on my laptop, so I thought I'll ask here.

    I am planing to replace my 1 TB M.2 SSD in my laptop with a 2 TB M.2 SSD, and I am wondering how to clone the whole 1 TB SSD and restore it onto the 2 TB M.2 SSD.

    I have read about people using $dd for that, but I never did that. Can anybody confirm that this is possible?

    I am running two partitions, one boot and the other one is a crypt device with btrfs + subvolumes inside.

    Is there anything I have to consider, before doing this?

    Thank you for your time.

    Concerns about Proxmox doing what Redhad did?

    After Redhats decision to put the source code of RHEL behind a paywall, I am getting a little bit concerned when it comes to open source software owned by companies. What are your opinions/thoughts about Proxmox ending up doing something similar for a cash grab?

    "Crosspost" High Availabilitiy with keepalived

    Keepalived

    I am currently looking into High Availability for my work setup. I am having some problems understanding how to achive that. I have two servers, one running libvirt and a couple VM, the other one nothing much yet.

    To achieve HA with keepalived, I would have to setup the exact same VMs under the second server, right? If that's the case, how would I make sure that the "mirrors" stay equal, If for example the master goes down, the backup takes over, some changes are made in a DB and the master knows nothing about these changes.

    Maybe I misunderstood keepalived so far, can somebody provide me with an example setup or hints on how to achieve what I want to do?

    Kind Regards

    Ignore Kernel Upgrades on a server

    I am using Archlinux as a server for my infrastructure. Does anyone have experience with ignoring kernel upgrades on Archlinux for a while? If so, how do you decide on what kernel release you are staying? If you upgrade the kernel, have you found a way to circumvent having to restart the machine?

    Is it possible to merge two existing communities on different federated servers?

    I believe more and more people will escape to lemmy sooner or later, and I already see 3 different communities for the same thing (selfhosted) here on lemmy. Time will tell which one will be the most active, but lets assume all of them will be equally active and the desire emerges to combine the two communities about the same thing, is that something possible or intended to be possible with federated services?
