I am up to my eyeballs in government bs today. You can't hate our government enough.

Then, thanks to the libs and the shithole that Philadelphia has become, we had a storage container (solid steel, and chained to a concrete anchor with very thick chain), containing 13k worth of supplies and equipment, stolen from a job site. The whole container (about 1200 lbs). And we were not the contractor hardest hit, the plumbing guys and the electricians got hammered worse. They must have used a semi.

I want to move out from Ubuntu and use something else.


I didn't intentionally pick Ubuntu, my pc went shit and I needed to install some os and the only one I had available in a usb was Ubuntu noble.

Laptop specs: I think a 7th gen inter i5, 8 GBs of ram and (the issue) a 125 GB M2.Sata SSD

I'm not really going to play games on it, it's one of those weird laptops that folds and can use a stylus.

So what would you suggest for something light in size and good with a stylus.

in reply to Sandouq_Dyatha

Recently install Fedora 42 KDE on one of those weird laptops with a pen - everything just works, no tinkering.
Looking at your specs - I have almost the same config, except in place of SATA SSD I installed a NVMe SSD, if course the laptop needs to support that. KDE Plasma is superior in the touch support, although the screen keyboard is a little buggy at times. But the situation in the GNOME ecosystem is a bit worse for touch/pen devices. Good luck

Thessaloniki, Greece: Incendiary Attack at a Cop’s House


TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCENDIARY ATTACK AT A COP’S HOUSE

The landscape is constantly changing. Global and domestic developments constantly bring us before the lens of war, filling us with fear and uncertainty. Redistribution of wealth, “neighboring” wars, inflation and so many other words that constantly pound our minds in daily news headlines. Nothing can remind us of the golden decades of yesterday while the future looks bleak. Greece, through its strategic geopolitical position, is not absent from the sphere of global developments. As a member country of N.A.T.O it serves its part for the great powers, while at the same time, trying to combat “domestic enemies”, it tightens its repressive measures.

In recent years, we have observed an extreme form of escalation of the arrogant violence of the state and its institutions. One political scandal follows another, while the state-parastate connection is more evident than ever. The cost of political responsibility is an illusory dream of the past, as everything is unfolding before our eyes. Trafficking circuits, pedophile circuits, illicit construction deals, natural disasters that reveal corruption in infrastructure projects, privatization of state wealth, photographic laws for the persecution of activists and so much more that weave the web of a deep state, which is intertwined in all its individual parts and creates a mafia state.

The biggest and most blatant example of the above is the Tempi case. A case that demonstrated the privatizations to foreign capitalists, the connection of the state with organized crime, the recruitment of their people in key positions, placing on Greek society the responsibility for its long silence regarding the death of 57 people.

All of the above could not be carried out without the existence of the Greek police. A master key to open all doors. Everywhere there is a cop willing to serve the free flow between state and parastate, with his compensation of course. While the state provides them with absolute safety. Even in blatant cases (executions of Roma, shipwreck of Pilos, femicides outside police stations), the cops’ hands are washed clean of blood overnight, giving them the right to roam undisturbed. They plow our cities like sheriffs, militarize our neighborhoods, trying to take back the breaths of freedom we won through the big mobilizations, they attack anyone who struggles and does not express their submissive model.

They are always the ones who will suppress popular anger and protect their bosses by exhausting all the violence they are allowed to use on us. They are the armed human fence that protects our enemies, therefore the first to be targeted and the first to be passed over. And this is because our hatred is a boiling cauldron and is ready to spill everywhere like lava that will burn everything in its path, starting from the boots that block our way to the total destruction of the state apparatus.

For our part, fighting in the social and class war, which is being waged outside the screens of televisions and mobile phones, we must more than ever take up positions of battle with all means, against the state and its institutions. As long as the repressive mechanism shows us its teeth, we know that behind it lies fear, since they know that at any moment the doctrine of law and order can collapse and their social “peace” can be broken. Following the path carved by our comrades who perished by choosing the way of fire, let us also create small cracks in their fragile system, opening paths for our anger to pour out, returning to them a piece of the violence we receive daily.

Fear, then, changes camp. In the early hours of 15/04, we placed an incendiary device at the entrance of the apartment building at 15 Kanari Street in Sykies, where the uniformed scoundrel Konstantinos Gantatsios lives, who serves in the YAT team (at a platoon of the riot police). If you have the illusion that you are invulnerable, remember that the city is small.

We dedicate this attack to the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris, but also to all the comrades who chose the difficult path and fell fighting all that we hate. We must not forget that they continue to live through our actions, since the continuation of their struggle is the greatest weapon against oblivion.

KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS ALWAYS PRESENT

SOLIDARITY TO EVICTED STEKI OF PHYSICS

Unix was developed in the mid 1960s by Bell Labs, and it was a single task system written in Assembly, before it moved to C.

It still exists today, mainly in Solaris, previously owned by Sun, but now by Oracle, and others less ran options. These systems were born out of the open source code that was published before Unix became commercial.

Apart from BSD, most other Unix systems are now proprietary and generally limited to industry, finance or health related activities. They're also generally sold with the hardware they run on.

You probably all know that Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds while he was a student in Helsinki. He enjoyed Unix but at that point, the system had become proprietary, and so couldn't be tailored to his needs. As a pet project, he created his own kernel that was basically a Minix clone, itself a Unix clone, which Torvalds wanted to modify to run on 32 bit systems.

Interestingly, while Linux doesnt share any code with Unix, the kernel absolutely behaves like Unix. Linux is also POSIX compliant. POSIX being a standard that was created because so many Unix variants were popping up, that is was necessary to ensure they all worked in a similar way and were compatible with each other.

And you might wonder how a hobby project developed as open source managed to replace a commercial, company backed, already installed system. And the reasons are many.

At first, Unix couldn't be commercialized as a product, because AT&T had entered an agreement with the US government stating they wouldn't try and sell computer software. That meant Unix was sold for the cost of shipping and printing the tapes

You received the source code as-is and patching options were limited, which meant most people who bought Unix bought it to maintain it and fix it themselves, which led to many companies creating their own versions of Unix and sharing the source code with one another.

The agreement ended, though, and this meant AT&T could start selling Unix as a product, as could other companies. With the ability to commercialize Unix came a huge competitive battle, with each company now realizing there was money to be made, and stopping the flow of source code. Every unix version started to diverge from each other and to behave differently, which killed one of the big advantages of Unix.

ALl these sytems and competition is referred to as the Unix wars.

Also at that point, personal computers were really starting to take off, and Microsoft dominated that space with Windows.

Unix also was really only a way to sell computers that ran on RISC chips. At the time, Intel's x86 was a very limited architecture, had poor performance compared to RISC CPUs, and was only suitable to be produced en masse cheaply for the end user.

But with these sales, Intel, and then AMD were able to fund the development of better chips, which in turn outgrew the RISC chips that Unix depended on to be sold.

But why Linux and not BSD? BSD had existed for longer, it was a known quantity, and it worked in the same way as what companies were used to.

The gist of it is legal battles. BSD was slowly moving away from code used in the original SYSTEM V, which AT&T held the rights to. AT&T then sued Berkeley Software Design, arguing they had breached Unix's license contract, that their code infringed on copyright, and that it diluted the UNIX trademark.

With this lawsuit, BSD was prevented from distributing the Net/2 release until the case was decided, which basically stopped them in their tracks.

you know what would make me believe this?
if the machine makes a gallon of gasoline
at the rate of one gallon per year.

i could accept that.

it does say the machine runs on "renewable energy"
so maybe it means the same distant coal plants
that run the electric cars and pretend to be windmills.

also "air and CO2" sounds dumb as rocks
because CO2 is part of the air.

تجربیاتی که از اولین مشارکتم در یک پروژه نرم افزار آزاد کسب کردم ۳


چگونه توزیع مردم را به فنا بدهیم؟ (به طور غیر عمدی) ۲

درود

خب تا اینجای کار یه یاد‌آوری بکنیم.
در قسمت اول تجربیات اولین مشارکت درست حسابیم من قضیه‌ی ثبتنام در Codeberg و اولین درخواست واکشیم به پروژه Phoenix رو براتون گفتم.
در قسمت دوم هم از اسکریپت هایی که برای نصب و حذف Phoenix ایجاد کردم و مشکلات پیش‌آمده در استفاده از اون ها براتون گفتم.

در این قسمت میخوام از قضیه استفاده‌ی ما از روش بسته‌بندی خود توزیع ها برای نصب و حذف Phoenix بگم.

قبل از هر چیز بذارید من داستان این ققنوسی که برای عکس این نوشته انتخاب کردم رو بگم.
در ابتدای راه پروژه Phoenix هیچ نشان و نمادی نداشت، این ققنوسی که میبینیدو من با تغیر نقشک بازی xonotic در مجموعه نقشک های Flat Remix ایجاد کردم و به Celenity پیشنهاد کردم که اونو به عنوان نماد Phoenix انتخاب کنه و اونم اینو قبول کرد. داشتن یک نماد برای یک پروژه به اون یک هویت میده و برای همینم چیز بسیار مهمیه. اینم که ساختن هویت یک پروژه به نام تو ثبت شه اونم با یک تغیر خیلی ساده و موزیانه هم خیلی خوبه. 😀)))))))

حالا بریم سر اصل مطلب این قسمت.
به‌مرور زمان مشکلات استفاده از کدنوشته ها بیشترو بیشتر می‌شد و این مشکلات داشت کمر پروژه رو میشکوند،
الآنو نگاه نکنید در صفحه کدبرگ Phoenix نوشته که بیش از ۹۰٪ درصدش با جاوا اسکریپته، اون زمان بیش از ۵۰٪ درصد پروژه با پوسته‌ی بش بود.
بعد از این مشکل خود Celenity شروع کرد به بسته‌بندی کردن پروژه.
اون برای آرچ از AUR، برای فدورا از COPR و برای دبیان هم از makedeb استفاده کرد و پروژه‌ی خودشو با قالب خود توزیع ها بسته بندی کرد.

این خوب بود، واقعا پیشرفت بزرگی به حساب میومد و خب در اون زمان هم تمام زحمات من برای پروژه با یک کامیت حذف شد. :/
اما خب مهم توسعه‌ی پروژه هست. البته کدنوشته‌های من از نظر خودم واقعا تمیز بودن ولی خب این روش از پایه مشکل دار بود.

اما این بسته‌بندی کردن هم باز مشکلات خودشو داشت، خود makedeb علاوه بر اینکه ابزاری بود برای ساخب بسته‌‌های DEB بود، مخزنی هم برای ارائه‌ی اون بسته ها داشت. ولی بعد از مدتی دیگه حاضر نشد که بسته‌ی Phoenix رو در مخزن خودش قرار بده و اونو حذف کرد!
این واقعا چیز بدی بود، ما برای دبیان دیگه نمیتونستیم هیچ کاری بکنیم! پروژه اینقدر بزرگ شده بود که استفاده‌ از کدنوشته ها برای حذف و نصب اون باتوجه به مشکالات این روش که کابوس بود.
موارد زیادی رو امتحان کردیم، اوایل سعی کردیم که از Launchpad برای توزیع بستمون استفاده کنیم ولی Launchpad تنها از ppa ها پشتیبانی میکرد و ppa ها هم بدرد دبیان نمیخوردن. امکان ایجاد یک مخزن شخصی هم نبود.

به دلیل شرایط بالا برای چنیدن ماه پروژه از توزیع های دبیان پایه پشتیبانی نمیکرد و این خیلی بد بود.
بعد از مدتها خود Celenity به من OBS (Open Build System) رو معرفی کرد و قرار ما بر این شد که بسته مونو با OBS برای دبیان ارائه بدیم.
به طور شخصی Celenity چندین بار تلاش کرده بود که بتونه از سازوکار OBS سر در بیاره و بتونه بسته رو درون اون بسازه که البته ناموفق بود و برای همینم از من کمک خواست.
من تا اون زمان از ساختن بسته های DEB اصلا چیز نمیدونستم برای همینم چنیدن روزو برای یادگیری نحوه ساختن بسته های DEB صرف کردم و منابع زیادی رو مطالعه کردم.

گذشتو گذشت، آزمایش پشت آزمایش تا بالاخره ما تونستیم یک ساخت موفق داشته باشم. Phoenix از این به بعد میتونست بر روی دبیان هم نصب بشه و این واقعا عالی بود.

اما این راه هم اصلا بدون مشکل نبود. این راه حتی از روش قبلی هم برای ما مشکلات بیشتری رو درست کرد.
اصلی ترین مشکل خود ما بودیم، بسته‌‌بندی قلق ها و استاندارد های خاص خودشو داره که ما در بسیاری از موارد اصلا اون هارو رعایت نمی‌کردیم.

بسته‌بندی ما بسیار کثیف بود و این باعث بروز مشکلات زیادی شد. خودتون میتونید debian/rulesی که ما هنوز هم ازش استفاده میکنیم رو ببینید. خیلی کثیفه نه؟ 😀)))))

در اینجا من چنتا از مشکلاتی که داشتیمو براتون میگم.

همانطور که انتظار میرفت من یکبار مسیری که یک از پرونده ها باید در اونجا قرار میگرفتو در debian/rules اشتباهی تنظیم کردم و این باعث می‌شد که بسته‌ کارشو درست انجام نده.

یکبار Celenity سعی داشت پرونده‌ی etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:celenity.list/ رو که مخزن OBS پروژه در اون قرار داشت رو با خود بسته‌بندی پیوند های اونو از http به https تغیر بده و چون این پرونده قبلا توسط کاربر ایجاد شده بود، کاربر در هنگام بروزرسانی خطای Overwrite دریافت میکرد. که البته با گذارش کاربر حل شد.

به تازگی فرایند ساخت بسته‌هایی که Celenity میساخت به صورت عجیبی شکست میخورد و بعدش ما فهمیدیم که مشکل از رایانه‌ی Celenity بوده. خودتون برید مشکلو ببنید.

https://build.opensuse.org/source/home:celenity/phoenix/phoenix_2025.05.11.1-1.debian.tar.xz?rev=a2576fd51eaaac20107f1598226b27b3

به طرز عجیبی در پرونده‌‌های tar مورد نیاز ساخت بسته از هر پرونده یک پرونده‌ی دیگه با همون نام به صورت مخفی ایجاد شده بود و این فرایند ساخت رو با مشکل مواجه کرده بود.

به تازگی هم اینم اضافه شده.

Warning: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/celenity/Debian_12/InRelease: Policy will reject signature within a year, see --audit for details

مشکلات بسیار زیادی وجود داشته که ما از اونها عبور کردیم و مشکلات بسیار زیاد دیگه‌ای هم هست که قرار در سر راهمون سبز بشه. اینکه من میگم مشکل حالا کسی ندونه خیال میکنه وای چی بوده. در حقیقت بیشتر مشکلات ما بخاطر خنگولیت‌‌های خودمون بودن و خواهد بود.

من شاید نتونستم به خوبی مشکلاتو براتون توضیح بدم و ممکنه شما بسیاری از چیز هارو متوجه نشده باشید ولی خب همینه دیگه، این یکی نوشتم خیلی ماست مالی شد اینم به‌خاطر این بود که من از قبل در ذهن داشتم که همه چیزو بهتون بگم اونم با ذوقو شوق ولی خب، من نمیتونم به خوبی حس و حال خاطراتمو همونطوری که در حرف میتونم بگم در نوشته هم انتقال بدم، قطعا اگه شما اینا رو از خودم بشنوید هم خیلی بیشتر بهتون میگم، هم خیلی بیشتر میفهمید و هم خیلی بیشتر لذت میبرید. تازه از شر غلاطای املایی من خلاص میشد.

از من به شما نصیحت، بسته‌ی خارج از مخازن رسمی نصب نکنید حتی اگه Phoenix باشه!
