Oracle: Keep Linux Open and Free—We Can’t Afford Not To

Not because Oracle likes open source, but because they like to profit from RedHat's hard work.

Isn’t it a bit of an annoying having repeat communities across various Lemmy instances?
The upside of this is that if you don't like how a particular community is being moderated, you can follow a different community about the same topic

If you assume malware is installed on a computer, typing a password using a keyboard is not safe either...

The administrators of a particular instance decide who they federate with. Of course, that only affects users on their instance.

To anyone who thinks music piracy is dead
Soulseek is great for finding and sharing music. I would strongly recommend Nicotine+ over the old SoulseekQt

Alternatives to tar for archiving Linux system?
Take a look at squashfs. This creates a compressed archive that can be mounted as a read-only filesystem to pull out individual files. It is very fast and likely already installed on your system.

Discussion: What Android devices are you using?

I upgraded from a 3a to a 6a. I miss the headphone jack, but mostly I miss the great fingerprint sensor on the back.

Is Soulseek safe?
I would recommend using a modern, open-source client like Nicotine+. Keep in mind the risks of exposing such a service to the internet (like anti-piracy organizations coming after you in some countries). Don't download executables. Make sure your media players are up-to-date.
Soulseek is in my opinion a good place to find music that's hard to find elsewhere. I use it almost daily.

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

As far as I know flatpak applications can be distributed as a file without the need for a repository, just like .deb or .rpm files

ZFS Swap question
I haven't used swap on zvol myself, but I've read about issues in low-memory situations, like this one: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/7734
To write to swap, zfs needs to allocate ARC memory. But to do that, it would need to write to swap...
Consider using zramswap, that's probably the easiest solution.

PayPal also supports debit cards which is great for countries where owning a credit card is rare. I don't own a credit card and I know very few people who do.

It does benefit RedHat, but that seems fair to me. We're getting a great free Linux distribution in return

Debian packports provided what I needed when bullseye had outdated packages before the bookworm release. For qemu, libvirt, kernel and ZFS.
