That article is trash. Ministries have only been asked to come up with a plan of what’s possible to do to switch but I highly doubt most will switch. The education ministry recently renewed it’s Microsoft contract and I don’t think there is anything enforcing a switch, it’s only a “please look at what could be possible” thing. The only thing switching for sure is the DINUM, about 250 people, a lot of them already using Linux. But this is the start of an experiment where they are building some NixOS configurations that could be used if a larger switch was to happen. Believe it or not, they NixOS configs are names Sécurix and Bureautix.

Someone made a website with all the corruptions and scandals she is accused of and she is trying to take it down: https://wikidati.fr/

NixOS so I can keep my config in git. I have a single nix config for all my machines (desktop, laptop and server) so I can share configuration between them. I use it to configure both my system and my user config, my dotfiles, with home-manager. Even my neovim config is in nix thanks to nixvim.

I don't think I could go back now. It can be a bit of a pain from time to time and the learning curve is steep but it has so many advantages. Being able to rollback between config versions (called generations), having a consistent config between my machines, having it all in version control… The repo have so many packages and when there is a module it's really easy to add a service. Writing new packages (derivations) and modules is also not that hard. It can be as simple as calling nix-init.

Had my main ssd fail on me a few month back and it was very simple to just replay the config and just get everything working as before. I only had to do the partitioning by hand (it can be done by nix but I've not gotten around to it yet). That's why I only backup data and home partitions, not system partitions.

There is https://trumpstruth.org/, it has a RSS feed. One could make a bot on the fediverse to repost from the feed.

Is it really? That's the same thing as the AI coded compiler. It has multiple OS source code in it's training data, as someone put it about the Claude C Compiler: "it's a brute force attempt to decompress fuzzily stored knowledge contained within the network".

Wait, what happened to Donatello?

You need someone to change the cable for you without you knowing which one it is, otherwise the test is worthless.

DDoSecrets delivers, as always: https://ddosecrets.org/article/kash-patel-emails

The initial tranche includes 324 emails that were released by Handala, which has indicated that more data will be released.

Well deserved, that tracker was such a cash grab.

The linked BBC article is a better source and say between 1 to 3 days.

And CoMaps is its fork.

Because stripping files metadata is an expected features for a messaging client. Not for the network like you described but for the client.

And it's very handy for this, I have the same config for all my devices (desktop, laptop and server). Enabling and disabling different modules depending on the host it's deployed to.

I hope you're right but I can assure you our government is very good at making grand announces not followed by anything, or even by the opposite. Also our far right, which might very well win the next election, is very much pro-Trump.

Our education ministry keeps signing huge Microsoft contracts, our health data is stored by Microsoft, our intelligence agency use Palantir, our government is mostly on X… I'm forgetting a lot of other things. They are also pushing hard for regulations against privacy, weakening encryption, chat-control…

There are some small nice things here and there like our Gendarmerie using Ubuntu, the DINUM making a lot of open-source tools… But it's really a drop in the water.

They achieve a lot less since Macron is in power. He "listen to the street" (to the unions actually) a lot less than its predecessors. The yellow jackets had to go very far, with a lot of victims, just to get a few concessions. Repression is a lot more fierce with a lot of police violence. This had the effect of discouraging a lot of people, protests are generally smaller lately. It makes some think that direct actions is the only way now but not much has happened.

To find national protests with real achievement you'll need to search before Macron. There were some local achievements lately though. And protest are not done alone, there are usually strikes, negotiations and legal leverages at the same time.

This picture is actually from 2018 I think, so the beginning of Macron as president.

From the article:

this is an OS that can't actually run Doom, the game that seemingly runs on everything - even though it's listed as supported in Vib-OS's documentation (which was probably written by AI).

Why do you keep ads on youtube?

Adding a repo is not "tainting" an install. Adding a package to the official repo is not the responsibility of the devs but of Debian's package maintainers.

That's why they are asking for a self-hosted solution, not a Google one.

Snowflake is an entrypoint into the tor network, not an exit point. I'm not a lawyer but I don't think there are any legal implications, or maybe in Russia or Iran. And the whole point is that its traffic is very hard to identify.
